I'm going to start doing a Creeky Recommends post every Sunday. I'm not sure if anyone will interact with them but Youtube wants proof that I'm not just throwing up mass produced slop, so this is a way of letting them know that there is a person with tastes and discernment behind the channel. I've been back at it again on Rateyourmusic.com and have been rating my way through the genre of Digital Dancehall (Digital dancehall is a form of Dancehall music that emerged in the mid-1980s with the King Jammy-produced "Under Me Sleng Teng" by Wayne Smith. The main characteristic that makes it different from the first forms of dancehall is the rhythms are digital rather than having the traditional backing band. After the Sleng Teng hit digital dancehall became the standard style in dancehall, up until the early 1990s where the more hardcore style of Ragga took over.) and will be sharing a song that I rated a 4.5 out of 5, the aforementioned Under My Sleng Teng by Wayne Smith from 1985. I love the electronic riddim underneath the vocals, this is a top-notch example of the genre. I'm hoping this deep dive into the genre will tighten up my future Digital Dancehall and other Reggae genre projects.

This week's showcase was my attempt to make an authentic sounding early 1960's British Invasion Mod Rock song. I was just starting to figure out how to use Udio and rewrite Chat-GPT lyrics back when I made this in June of 2024. What do you think? Did I nail the sound and the style?

Alright folks, I give up and I'm going to post less often, it's not worth getting 10 views on some of my best work. I'm going to post 3 times a week from now on. The Udio instrumentals are kind of evergreen so I will be posting one of those a week. Let me know which day of the week I should post my showcase Suno song in the comments, I'm thinking Friday but I'm open to suggestions.

📢 Community Post: The Evolution of the Archive
A New Chapter: Introducing CreekyJarls Productions.

For a long time, I’ve shared my music here under a simple username that was my old gamertag. But as this channel grows, it’s time for the name to match the mission.

Most of you know me for the sounds I create, but few know the "why" behind them. This isn't just a hobby; it’s the result of a 20-year obsession with the history of recorded sound.

The Foundation:
Before I ever touched modern synthesis tools, I spent fifteen years deep diving into the evolution of music from the mid 1950's to the late 1990's, cataloging everything from the global hits to the most obscure, forgotten gems. I followed that by spending four years submerged in the past—rating and analyzing almost 15,000 archival recordings from 1890 to 1939.

The Mission:
CreekyJarls Productions is about using 21st-century technology as a surgical tool. I’m using my "20,000-hour ear" to synthesize that lifetime of research into new sounds—recreating the "un-recreatable" textures of the past and blending them with the possibilities of the future.

This isn't "AI slop." It’s Expert-Led Synthesis. Every note, every lyric, and every genre-defying blend is a deliberate choice made by a human who has lived and breathed music for two decades.

In case you missed it last year or are new to my channel since then I have a pretty good Christmas playlist of the classics with a Creeky remix and some new Holiday beats as well.

I'm dealing with some laptop issues; my laptop freezes when I type too much. It seems like a bad connection under my keyboard. If I don't type a long response to your comment or on your song that is why. When it rains it pours. I might not be creating anything new for a while because of the Udio and Suno situation but I have a large stockpile of instrumentals and songs to upload as long as my laptop holds out.

I had to have my say on Youtube and its horrible algorithm, Udio and the crap it pulled with its user's music and UMG and record labels in general. Please help me out by giving it a listen, like and comment.

I'm really starting to hate this platform. I was looking forward to October all year and built up a month's worth of Halloween material only for the algorithm to strangle my channel. I shouldn't be getting zero views an hour with 873 subscribers but since they stopped suggesting my videos to my subscribers and non-subscribers alike, I have been. Alphabet deserves to be broken up as a monopoly; they are worse than Bell Telephone ever were and at least Ma Bell didn't decide which phone calls could be made and who can speak and who can't. They censored Trump and were forced to pay $24.5 million. I can't tell you how many people that I was subscribed to that they censored and removed from the platform over the last 10 years only to have them magically appear in my feed again over the last few months. To me that is an admission of guilt from Google that they arbitrarily removed people for political reasons. I feel like I am not getting a fair chance to grow and succeed without Youtube putting their finger on the scale and I don't even really make political or controversial content. I might go that route though because I much rather be yeeted off of the platform than naively go on thinking Youtube will let me succeed on my own merits while watching my views fade into oblivion as the algorithm puts me in sandbox mode.


Well, this is how we gon' do this
Fuck Alphabet, fuck Google
Fuck Youtube as a staff, company, and as a motherfuckin' crew
And if you wanna be down with Youtube, then fuck you too

Just giving everyone a heads up, I had a rap song removed from Youtube for violating the Violent Criminal Organizations policy. It was a song that has been up for a year called "Let Me See Your War Face". I tried to appeal and was denied. I got a warning but if they decide that any song that I have up that talks about violence is in violation of the policy I might not be long for the platform. I won't censor myself or remove videos that were up and fine for months. I write Horrorcore and Gangsta Rap in the style of well-known artists that have been on the platform since day one, but I guess only they are protected by artistic context. 99% of my raps are from the perspective of fictional characters and being over the top is kind of the point of the character Creeky but it always has a layer of comedy and silliness to it if you really look at the words. The juxtaposition of violent imagery against comedy and punchlines is something I learned from listening to artists such as Eminem, Gravediggaz and countless others who aren't getting warnings, and songs removed from the platform. It was a fun journey building up my channel and learning how to write songs and talking with you in the comments. I have a rap song that I plan on posting this week that is based on Horror Movie titles and characters and scenarios that could get me a strike and get taken down, keep an eye out for it. It will be titled "Creeky's 100 Bar Spooktacular". If you can't post stuff like that during October, then when can you post it? Thanks for subscribing and checking out my stuff, all the support was appreciated.
