Feeding-The-Machine #2
To Much Spending - Not Enough Lending
Several changes will take place during the remainder of 2023 including serverless options that have changed the workflow at Footprints.
Audocs R&D integrations and new tools implemented at AUX Digital Network. After this year's massive catalog takedown from streaming services, and the end-life of AUX Digital streaming service in September, man-hours have been spent filling out our upgraded licensing platform. Curating the Footprints catalog is a legacy and provides a clear path for collectors to purchase our physical and digital album offers.
Urban Sufi Music is the independent music publishing entity at SESAC behind Footprints Catalog. As a writer and publisher, I’ve been with SESAC since 2004.
Feeding-The-Machines’ merger with the Colliders podcast is on hold, as I wrap up some catalog data input. ~HA

Basmala & The Golden Circle - Some music that would become in part, Bil Basmala - Tura & The Beatsmith. Back from his first trip to Malaysia, HA returned with new material. Golden Circle, a combination of Classic Sufi Music, Beats and Ambient Soul, pushing the boundaries, and bridging cultural divides of east and west.
Visionary Soul - PER Music Libraries reissue of Bil Basmala's Visionary Soul long play, originally released on August 24th 2016, via Preservation Electronic Recordings now PER Music Library.
A, Good Night….. - A project from Bil Basmala. At the end of 2013, some material from the album was released as ‘A, Brother From Another Planet’ cassette. Since then, the material has been fined tuned, remixed and remastered and appears in several forms, on a few releases. A Good Night - City Lights is Featured in DNLDs Gratis Section.
Eastern Department - The Bil Basmala and Eastern Department (2012) projects are soulful ambiance with layered combination of classic hip-hop drums. Featuring abstract and alternative rap lyrics. Abdullah's Quirky drums, deep baselines and intense thick atmospheric textures cover each track. The rhythm driven studio recordings are complemented by harmonious vocals and lyrics based on social commentary and individual enlightenment. Originally conceived or envisioned by HA as an eclectic blend, neo-visionary soul takes the electronic, chill-out or left field genre into a completely new sphere.
Wildcraft - was recorded on Akai GX-266 (Gemini) 1/8 Reel. The sound is Amazing and fits the Digital artwork precisely.
