About

Welcome to the Audio Hive Collective!

Lyrics

Intro - spoken/dj cut-up vibe over beat

(Yeah... Audio Hive Collective)

(Spin it up... lay it down...)

(We're the worker bees... come on in...)

Verse 1

Pollen on the vinyl grooves

Needle drops and honey moves

Queen Bee Machine she hums all night

Golden frequencies burning bright

Out across the wire we fly

Sifting signal from the sky

Pre-Chorus

Picking up the frequencies

Building up the colony

Every crackle every pop

Adds a drop into the pot

Chorus

Worker bees of the Audio Hive

Bring the sound back to keep it alive

Queen Bee Machine let the process begin

Honey in the speakers everybody jump in

Audio Hive Collective we rise and we spin

Plenty of the sweet stuff to go around

Post-Chorus

(Spin 'em up, spin 'em up, lay 'em down)

(Lay 'em down, lay 'em down)

Drop / Turntablist break

(Scratch) Bee... hive... collect... (Scratch)

(Scratch) Honey... sounds... (Scratch scratch)

(Backspin)

Verse 2

Dusty crates and midnight finds

Samples locked inside the mind

Country twang and blues rock groove

Dub reverb begins to move

Trip hop drums on faded tape

Funk guitar I twist the shape

Pre-Chorus

Filter sweep the old and new

Build a world for me and you

Every crackle every pop

Adds a drop into the pot

Chorus

Worker bees of the Audio Hive

Bring the sound back to keep it alive

Queen Bee Machine let the process begin

Honey in the speakers everybody jump in

Audio Hive Collective we rise and we spin

Plenty of the sweet stuff to go around

Post-Chorus

(Spin 'em up, spin 'em up, lay 'em down)

(Lay 'em down, lay 'em down)

Bridge

(Spoken/sung over echoey psychedelic keys)

Come on in

Let the process begin

Machine's got the honey sounds

Plenty enough to go around

Fly out in search of golden pollen sounds

Spin them up and lay them down

Always new sounds to be found

Jump right in

Let the building of our Hive begin

Guitar solo - blues rock / psychedelic soul / classic rock fusion

Drop / Turntablist break 2

(Scratch) Build it... build it... (Scratch)

(Scratch) Hive... begin... (Scratch scratch)

(Cut-up vocal: "new sounds to bee found" x2)

Chorus

Worker bees of the Audio Hive

Bring the sound back to keep it alive

Queen Bee Machine let the process begin

Honey in the speakers everybody jump in

Audio Hive Collective we rise and we spin

Plenty of the sweet stuff to go around

Outro - dub style delay, fading

Plenty to go around...

(Fading) Hive... hive... hive...

(Mutters through delay) Worker bees... bringing the sound...

(echo) Around... around... around...
