Why, it’s the new project of Kyle Wyss (aka Chromatic Flights) of Blind Man’s Colour; a collaboration with rapper Rufat.

i found a rapper from the same home town via a mutual friend. we’re called SKYWAY after a big bridge in our hometown of st petersburg florida. we’re working on an album right now where I produce music, he raps on them and then i sing hooks occasionally. he wanted to remix jimmy dove so we made this
The two have taken the BMC original “Jimmy Dove” and have truly pulled off a true ‘genre-hop’, the result is quite euphoric. If only those Florida kids would hurry up with the full album.
We’re proud to present a new release from our good friends Flora & Fauna entitled Young Rivals EP. Like all onethirtybpm Records releases, Young Rivals EP is available for free download in your format of choice. Alternatively, you can stream the EP on the release page or below.

On Friday night, Palmkite played at the Northport Thanksgiving Throedown and fortunately for those who couldn’t cram themselves into the Chaudhry basement, it’s been captured on video. The band even played a new track called “Blyngwie Malmsteen.” Check it out above.
Matthew & the Judes perform their songs, “Eight Lives Left” and “Some Day” for PSU Original Music’s Tunnel Tunes. Consider it a preview of their upcoming album A Happy Medium, coming soon.

Chromatic Flights is the solo project of Kyle Wyss of Blind Man’s Colour. Kyle formed Blind Man’s Colour during the 7th grade with Orhan Chettri (who releases his solo work under the name Lucid Bus). The duo signed to Kanine Records in 2009 and released their debut album, entitled Season Dreaming, the same year.
Kyle has been creating solo electronic moniker Chromatic Flights since 2005. His has three previous releases that are all available for free download through the net-label Monotonik.
In addition to his Chromatic Flights project, Kyle has been hard at work on a collaboration with his brother Evan Wyss, entitled Suntime. Kyle and Orhan (Blind Man’s Colour) are also working on a follow-up to Season Dreaming, which is expected out sometime next year.
We’re also pleased to announce that Matthew & the Judes’ upcoming full-length album, entitled A Happy Medium, will be released on onethirtybpm Records in the near future. Enjoy.
It’s been a year; it’s sort of hard to believe how far we’ve come. I’d just like to thank all of our readers and supporters, especially those who have been with us since day one. I can’t mail our birthday cake to all of you but I’ll sure as hell get you drink when I see you.
Now onto the fun stuff. Over the past year I’ve been helping out at a digital music label called Amazing Wow. The concept was simple: “Amazing Wow rejected the concept of music piracy and the notion that every download is a lost sale. All of the releases were available for high quality download, and were completely free.
Unfortunately, Amazing Wow started to lose momentum several months ago, and was looking to possibly close the label, or at least cease the addition of any new releases. We at onethirtybpm decided to take the initiative and not let such a great concept go to waste. We’ve transferred it to our domain and rebranded it as onethirtybpm Records.
Not only have we transferred most of the old releases and posts, but we’ve already posted a new release entitled Go Go Gadget Grass Stains by an artist by the name of Squanto. Not only do we expect to post new releases very soon (expect some stuff from a new band Cous Cous, and an EP from Flora and Fauna) but we plan on expanding and doing what Amazing Wow set out to do, pressing albums and selling additional merch online.
Well thanks again everyone, I hope you enjoy some of our releases. We had a great year, here’s to many more.
