🕶️ Mission Brief: Operation First Tracks 🕶️
Agents of Groove,
Your next assignment, should you choose to accept it:
MISSION: TRACKING our first two releases!
We have two critical targets:
Times Moves Fast - This one topped our charts and is ready for action.
Dylan Rene’ - This track has a significance I know resonates deeply with everyone. Your insights and tweaks are still welcome. Release of this will have to be talked about.)
Operative Roles:
Agent Brent: Your mission is to lay down the bass lines and vocal tracks. Precision is key.
Agent JuJu: You're on drums. Keep the beats tight and the energy high.
Agent Joey: Currently mastering the arts of tracking. Assistance may be required. Guitar tracks are your focus.
Agent Victoria: Coordination with either Agent Brent or Agent JuJu is necessary to synchronize keys and harmonies.
I'm still in the lab crafting the lyrics and toplines, but the demos will serve as your initial blueprints.
Extraction Plan:
Once all individual pieces are covertly collected, I'll assemble them into a formidable rough mix. Time permitting, final mixes will be orchestrated by either Agent JuJu, Agent Brent, or myself.
🚀 Your Assignment Response:
Please communicate your available time frame to commence tracking operations. Remember, this mission is designed around your schedule—no pressure, no stress, just the thrill of the chase.
Awaiting your signal,
Agent Gabriel

Hello SOUND!
Jullian mentioned wanting to make some merch. Make some extra money on the side. I put together a logo showcasing all of our names while allowing the main logo to come forward.
MINI MISSION 1: What do y’all think?
!!!MAIN MISSION BELOW!!!
Your mission: Listen to the songs below and give them a rating “1 of 5.” Rating a song as “1” is the worst. Rating a song as “5” is a hit! Also, I would love a short single sentence about your feelings. For example “Old Bridge - 4.5 - Loved the chorus but the verses need work. ”
You can make your notes in a notes App. You can write them on a sheet of paper. You can make a voice memo. You can send a carrier pigeon as long as they get to the group text.
!!!MISSION DEADLINE: FRIDAY EVENING July 12th!!!
Thank you for your time and talents! I love you!
Gabriel
