Every CAD drop starts with a feeling, not a design. This is the story of the Music Collection — six tees, one conviction — and the six tracks we kept playing while we made it.
We didn't grow up talking about music in charts or streams. We talked about it in rooms. The dark ones, mostly — Bangalore basements, warehouse nights, that one party where the sound system mattered more than the lineup. Somewhere along the way we realised the thing we kept trying to explain to people had to go on a tee, because it wouldn't fit in a sentence.
Here's each piece, and what it's actually about.
In Frequencies We Trust
The collection's thesis. Sound is sacred, the underground is a community and not a product, and the right bassline at the right moment can rearrange something in you. If you only ever own one music tee of ours, it's this one.
Acid Dreams
For anyone who's stood in a dark room at 3am, eyes closed, while a 303 line talked to something older than language. You know the feeling or you don't — this tee is how the ones who know find each other in daylight.
Bass Is My Therapist
Therapy is great. We mean that. But some of us process life through sound, and find more clarity on a dancefloor at midnight than on a couch in the afternoon. This one's for the people whose medicine has a sub-frequency.
Techno: Music Without Borders
No passport, no language barrier. Techno is the one genre that keeps taking people from different cities, different backgrounds, different everything — and making them move as one. A tribute.
House Is a Feeling × Nick Lima
A collab with Nick Lima, for that moment on a dancefloor when a room full of strangers stops being strangers. House isn't a genre. It's a state of being.
Made for the Underground × Pumproom Records
Some rooms don't make the guest lists. Some artists don't get the radio play. Pumproom Records has been keeping the real thing alive anyway, and this run is our salute — limited, like the rooms it comes from.
CAD Mix 001 — Frequencies
Six tracks, one per tee. Play it start to finish and you've walked the collection.
Josh Wink — Higher State of Consciousness
The 303 that Acid Dreams is about. Thirty years old, still rewiring brains.
Overmono — So U Kno
Bass as therapy, in practice. Play loud, feel better. That simple.
Mr. Fingers — Can You Feel It
Where “house is a feeling” comes from. Larry Heard asked the question in 1986; dancefloors have been answering ever since.
BICEP — Glue
For the frequencies tee. The track that proves a melody can hit like a memory.
Burial — Archangel
The underground, distilled. No face, no shows, all feeling.
Jeff Mills — The Bells
Music without borders — a Detroit track that every city on earth has lost its mind to.
Wear the collection to the next one. Or don't — just come stand near the bass with us.
