detnator
Detnator is a production company in Trinidad & Tobago. Our experimentation with different genres led to the birth of Futurerapso, a fusion of the Rapso art form and electronica.
The Original Soundtrack for the Mmhmm cooking series on YouTube www.youtube.com/eatahfood
Produced by Detnator Mastered by Lauritz Liddelow @Ritzroom https://soundcloud.com/lauritz-liddelow
Only a handful of songs inspired me to do any Socalled Remixes for 2018. This was at the top of the list.
Hope you enjoy. Leave a comment, like & share.
Took inspiration from Stryke - All That Remains to create this instrumental. Elements of electronica, dancehall and soca in there as well. Could be sick for a futurerapso track.
Breathing new life into an old track. Still has a lot of work to be done on it. Feedback welcomed.
New Futurerapso Single from Curious Ringo, "Break Free"

Spain meets Trinidad & Tobago on this collaboration between Rapso artist Geggy and Detnator.
Lyrics:
BAILANDO CON LA LUCHA
Bailando bajo la tormenta, verás al que ataca sin defensa; picos, palas, uñas y dientes, carne, asador, pasión y fuego; restriego mi humildad, enjuago mis heridas, escurro mi alegría aunque te escueza después de tu jodienda; en la calle levantan los puños, en los corazones golpean los tambores, ocio creativo y furia positiva, bueno para ti y para los demás, la llave; bueno para ti y para los demás, la clave; bueno para ti y para los demás pero ante todo para tí.
La revolución te espera, si te apasiona, de lo contrario, elige a otra; sonrisas envuelven situaciones mal dadas, mañana manadas saldrán a la batalla, avalanchas de la Sierra Maestra a la Sierra Nevada pasando por Trinidad; penitencias ahorcadas entre cañas y balas son dignidad.
Yo gozo. Y si me tumban, mala suerte. Pero gozo.
Bailando bajo la tormenta de arena, hay steel bands en los suburbios, bajan al centro cuando el gobierno lo ordena, en Carnaval o antidisturbios; la fiesta continúa como la lucha sigue; la lucha es la fiesta del pueblo organizado; la fiesta es la lucha del pueblo concienciado. Trinidad y España tienen conexión. Detnator y Geggy, una Rapso Explosión.
Yo gozo. Y si me tumban, mala suerte. Pero gozo.
No me hundirás en un pozo de la amargura, por ello juego mis cartas con soltura. El juego de la vida son los días, y la apuesta es disfrutarlos. Basarlo todo en el futuro es la última vía. Rutinas y rutinas devoran mis escualos.
Yo gozo. Y si me tumban, mala suerte. Pero gozo.
Los golpes necesarios se convirtieron en niebla, y la niebla en señal de vida que riega mi arma con alma; y el alma ya no siente el peso del "no puedo" como una piedra, y esta piedra te jode el pie si pateas mi alma con arma; cantando bajo la tormenta, verás al que defiende su despensa; picos, palas, uñas y dientes, carne, asador, pasión y fuego; esfuerzo y emoción; estruendo y diversión.
Yo gozo. Y si me tumban, mala suerte. Pero gozo.
Translation:
DANCING WITH THE STRUGGLE
Dancing in the storm, you will see the attacking undefended; pickaxes, shovels, nails and teeth, meat, stove, passion and fire; scrubbing my humility, rinse my wounds, I wring my joy although annoy you after bugging; on the street fists raised, in hearts beating drums, leisure creative and positive fury, good for you and for others, the key; good for you and for others, the key; good for you and for others but above all for you. The revolution awaits you, if you are passionate about, otherwise, choose another; smiles involve difficult situations, morning herds will to battle, avalanches of the Sierra Maestra to the Sierra Nevada through Trinidad; pints and bullets, hanged penances are dignity
I joy. And if I lie down, bad luck. But joy.
Dancing in the sandstorm, There are steel bands in the suburbs, goes to the city center when the government orders, in carnival or riot; the party continues as the struggle continues; the struggle is the party of organized people; the party is the struggle of conscious people. Trinidad and Spain have connection. Detnator and Geggy, a Rapso explosion.
I joy. And if I lie down, bad luck. But joy.
You will not plunge into a well of bitterness, why I play my cards with ease; the cards of life are the days, and the bet is to enjoy them. Base everything in the future is the latter route. My dogfish devour routines and routines
I joy. And if I lie down, bad luck. But joy.
the necessary blows became fog, and fog becomes rain that waters my soul weapon; the "I can't" isn't strong in my soul like a stone, this stone hurts you in the foot if you kick my soul with gun; singing in the storm, You will see that defends your larder; pickaxes, shovels, nails and teeth, meat, stove, passion and fire; effort and emotion; DIN and fun

Detnator Remix of Teddyson John's hit release "Allez" featuring A_phake & DJR.
Produced by Detnator Guitars: A_phake Bass: Dayne Reece
The mystery in the power of rhythm described by Preedy in his 2016 release "Drums" is an integral part of our African ancestry and our experience here in the Caribbean.
Ouri's "Surreal" was hands down one of the best songs released in 2015. The lush and haunting soundscape provided the perfect elements to marry with Preedy's vocals.
The outcome is a unique blend of Soca & Minimal House to give you something that can only be described as "magical".
Enjoy.

This is our first futurerapso release for Trinidad & Tobago Carnival 2016 featuring Curious Ringo. There has always been a call for more positive and uplifting lyrical content in soca music, Curious' lyrics answers that call on this track.
Enjoy.

Five beats created back in 1996 on the Ensoniq EPS 16 Plus and recorded to a Tascam 8 Track. Couldn't find the original 8 track tapes with the recorded beats, only some shitty recordings that I had on cassette that I converted to mp3.
Needless to say the quality is piss poor. Still, this was a huge part of my journey as a producer so I decided to share.
