I am officially retiring the Beatcast.
BUT... my music posting will continue! Only, now it's gonna happen on the newly redesigned Nick Marino dot net. I'm releasing my beats as free mixtapes, and you can check out the first track, Armor, right now. (I think I may have run Armor on the AudioShocker under a different name...)
In honor of this final, sad Beatcast farewell, here's one last song from me to you -- the full original theme I made for A Podcast with Ross and Nick. I call it "Intra Venus."
Man, I - er, I mean, Nik Furious - made this beat years ago. But I never looped it and it just sat in its lonely ProTools file. Now behold the wonderous Xavier! Actually, it's not so much wonderous as a mildly entertaining loop laid out in a vaguely interesting progression.
ROLL THE DICE, baby! This week: an awesome instrumental by Nik Furious. Next week: the extremely anticlimactic conclusion to Building Da Beat.
No One Else is more of a remix than a new song, made as a beat for an upcoming hip hop track. Building Da Beat is on hiatus until inspiration strikes.
I almost forgot about this! That's what happens when you make something too far in advance, I guess. Here's a slight update to last week's guitars. Is it better? If you listen to it, lemme know.

Welcome to the third installment of "Building Da Beat." Yeah, it's one week late. After the drums and bass came together so naturally, things started to reverse as I struggled to find the right sound for the guitar. Even now, I'm not so sure that this sound is right. Until such a time as I decide I can do better, this "skin" to the body of the beat will have to do. Hopefully next week: the full package.
Welcome to the second installment of "Building Da Beat." If last week's drums constituted the "skeleton" of the song, then this week could be considered the "muscle," as some fat slap bass has been added on top of the percussion. Be back next week for the guitar.
Uncanny, an original instrumental digital song by Nik Furious. This is the tenth and final part of a ten part Beatcast series called Nik Furious: Then and Now. This week is my Now recording that I'm the most proud of out of all of my modern songs. The mix, the melody, the beat - it all works for me. It was written and recorded in late 2007 as a Christmas gift for the AudioShocker's Justique.
Little Red Book, an upbeat acoustic song by Nik Furious. This is the ninth part of a ten part Beatcast series called Nik Furious: Then and Now. I recorded this Then song one night in the summer of 2002 in Coatesville, PA. I wrote it while flirting online with a girl on Friendster (or was it Makeoutclub?). I don't remember her name... but girl, if you remember me and you hear this... then stop by and say hi!
Invisible, an original instrumental hip hop beat by Nik Furious. This is the eighth part of a ten part Beatcast series called Nik Furious: Then and Now. This Now recording was also used in the rap song Pinnacle.
