For any Team Sleep fans...

Have you listened to DJ CrookOne's "Number Of the Beats" releases?

EP1 - 2023
EP2 - 2024
EP3 - 2026

You can listen and buy them from his Bandcamp here (https://crookone.bandcamp.com/). 

Supposedly each EP has a bonus song that you only get on cassette.  The exclusive cassette song titled "_____SORCERY_____" on EP3 credits Chino as a feature.  But based on how the credits are written, it looks like Chino might only play guitar.  Has anyone heard it?  I'm curious if he does vocals also.

These are pretty great.  Don't sleep.

Would somebody mind sending me an invite to the discord on this? I realize that's where the conversation is going on about the record. I would greatly 🙂appreciate it.

Quote from: DefFsho on Jun 27, 2026, 08:53 PMChi Cheng is the perfect example of a fallen artist that i think would have wanted his fans to hear music that he made. anybody who knew what Chi was like to us in the public, you know he's the type of guy that's like "fuck it. What's the big deal? The fans want to hear it let them hear it." that's what I think Chi would want. Along with Frank, Stephen and Abe. I hope his family can benefit from this somehow in the near future.. we have EROS. ITS OVER WITH FINALLY😊🥰

it is really great to hear this stuff, and in such a far more complete form than i figured it would be in. also, i'm having a very hard time hearing any bass/Chi. i dunno if i need to play it on proper speakers, and not just a laptop. what songs is the bass most obvious?

and the ohms b-side, rain, is great too

I mean, the first two tracks I can really hear his fingers on the bass. Maybe they are incomplete because honestly, I think probably every track on here is still in demo form without mastering except for Melanie maybe. That's just my ears and I am not a musician.
Melanie sounds complete to me and I am very happy with it. But there is stuff missing in a bunch of random parts of this version. And I don't hear bass in a lot of it the more I listen to it ...you know whenever we get these new albums and at first listen you have a hard on and think it's the greatest thing ever and then it changes and morphs The more listens you give it and the more time goes by?The last five albums for me, especially did that. I don't hear much bass if any in Sable and it seems to be lacking in a couple others, but this thing is not finished. Chino doesn't even make sense to me sometimes in a couple tracks no complaints. It's an unfinished record and that's the way I wanted it

i just listened to it with headphones, and i can hear all the bass lines very cleary now. listening with just laptop weak speakers barely let me hear any. this is much better

thanks a mil!

I'm at a Detroit Tigers game versus the Oakland Athletics in Detroit tonight. I've heard Deftones play four times now over speakers between innings and pitches and it's only the third inning. I might have heard my own summer here once or twice in 30 years.

I'll echo this and request a PM for a Discord invite. Thank you for the consideration.

Always loved that version of Hexagram. That video of just them performing at the spot brings me way back.


Thanks for posting!

Some people have asked me about these...

The chill remix of Hexagram set to the music video is one of the few remains from DeftonesLive deletion. This was approved by both Warner, onlynoises (the remixer) and Darren Doane the video director. Do with it as you wish.

On a related note, someone wanted to know if I'd made any other self-titled edits like WGTB from the early 2010s where I'd boosted Frank's synths. The answer is yes, I made an attempt on Hexagram years and years ago and someone eventually re-uploaded it after the end of the channel :
