Blue Hour takes me to Tokyo... a place that's always been like a second home to me, but when I went there in 2000 touring my first major label release album I found a whole other side to the city that I hadn't experienced there before - underground clubs serving up the most vibrant blend of house music, jazz, breaks and beats where the dancefloor was always ready to go in any of those directions, or even a few of them at the same time. we'd perform, hang, imbide and vibe to the local DJs, eventually emerging out to that blue hour right between night and morning, having feasted on so much flavorful music. so here's a little head nod to that time and place - 1/2 a cup of house, 1/2 a cup of jazz, a few tablespoons of strings and synths...

welcome to our third of 8 drops (!) for [$BUYBACK Emerald] with Mashibeats - the web3 music-creator community I founded. We're taking this opportunity to invite you as a music NFT collector, to be part of our community.

There's two goals in mind for [$BUYBACK Emerald].

GOAL 1: increase governance membership of Mashibeats

• every collector of this NFT can claim an airdrop of 40 $BUYBACK, representing governance in Mashibeats

GOAL 2: building the community treasury which $BUYBACK holders have voting power over

• 70% of funds from this drop go directly to the Mashibeats treasury. Over the 8 drops we aim to raise around 5 ETH, to then have community join in making proposals for $BUYBACK holders to vote on.

Holders also curate and A&R by way of voting - our recently released remix contest winners vinyl and NFTs having been all decided by $BUYBACK members - curation by community ❤️

After collecting (thank you! and welcome!), head over to http://mashibeats.xyz/buyback

Headsup - each subsequent drop in this series of 8 will be a smaller edition batch, with a +0.01 increase in price and an increase in $BUYBACK claimable. And we're working on something special for collectors who collect all 8 of the drops !
