“This Chick Is Toast!”

Building Blocks
Small Wonders

Original Release Date: 06/09/2999

Small Wonders were microscopic. Not in their popularity, but in size. Discovered by accident, (a research lab was testing a flesh-eating bacteria out on a few choice specimens), members Pro and Neu were making beats for fun, hyping themselves up as they rested upon the pillowy chlorophyll chamber of the leaf of a boozimina plant. An electron microscope soon revealed a world beyond what we had previously thought possible. A functioning society occupying such a small, relatively small area seemed impossible, but here it was: science, government, and religion coexisting amongst giants. Dear Audionauts, you can imagine how some attempted to exploit Gleepers (the rather unkind nickname) like Pro and Neu, trying to create shrink and expansion weapons to recreate their lovely meadows, forests, and streams. The envied lifestyle of solitude and peace enthralled those who attempted to quash it. Small Wonders, a subtle dig at the surprise of the giants among them, became a crusade to bring attention to the Gleepers and send a rallying cry to those who might be able to intervene and protect their kingdom, known as Qaarkium. You can imagine that it was a success because we’re talking about them. Well, partially. Now housed in a capsule, protected by intense security and scrutiny, the Gleepers traded freedom for safety. After Building Blocks exploded onto the scene, it was a free-for-all, with anyone and everyone trying to take a piece of Qaarkium and, to some extent, the sounds of Small Wonders. Their cooling, relaxed tones were the envy of beatmakers who could not harness a lifestyle of endless chill. They ultimately copied Building Blocks down to the note in a series of cheap and disgusting cash-ins, proving that you cannot teach relaxation and that Small Wonders' brand of tasty beats was unparalleled, at least at that scale.
