Mosh Pit is a song about identifying challenges and differences between individuals and their situations. The only remedy is the circle, the cipher aka the mosh pit, where problems are debated and solved.
While originally written and recorded between 2016-2018, we waited until the landscape was ripe and the context made sense for a record like this. This record is actually the third of a four record series that culminates next month but began on November 3 2016 with “Breaking News”, our first "‘political’ record, although written at the time from an independent, large picture perspective.
The second record of the series was “Art Bless America” which when written (2016) and released (2019) stood as a reminder of America’s greatness to an outsider. The video (2020), however, shifts lenses drawing a clear distinction between racism, oppression, resistance, and tyranny as captured through live footage over the spring and summer. Notwithstanding our original intent, this body of works was written before its time, in order to reflect these times.
Mosh Pit which was also written in the past, for the future, could not be published without comment on the current cultural context into which it would be released. As a group, we clearly stand against racism. For our promotion video, we decided to make that point clear. For the lyric video, we decided to let the lyrics speak for themselves.
Artist production duo, Sweet Chuck Ravin Dave writes, produces, and performs music, videos, and content under Trip Digital Music, and independent record label based in NYC/LA. The two met in Gramercy, New York City during the fall of 2013, and by 2014 began writing and recording at their 19th street studio along with Super Producer DJ Journey. S.C.R.D. is named after Sweet Chuck and Ravin Dave, the two principal members of the group. Together they infuse old skool beats, live instrumentation, and witty, humorous, and slightly satirically lewd lyrics to take fans on a journey through heartbreaks with an ebullience for life and the thirst for adventure. Their collaboration between each other thrives off co-collaborating with local musicians, friends, and fans they lure into their musical tsunami, which helps drive their artistic creativity to new heights.
