CoMpArE and DJ Q-Sak, Altered Essence, formed a tight bond through their music and have connected with a motivation of using their talents to uplift and create an equal and just community as well as bringing awareness to a better world moving forward.
Altered Essence formed in 2007 subsequent to the release of CoMpArE's solo album "The Rare Specie" and prior to the Rare Specie tour.
Although, CoMpArE and Q sak have been recording music together since 2006 when they linked up to record the Rare Specie.
Since the release of the Rare Specie, Altered Essence has been busy in the lab on various projects. "Feel Good" was recorded along with Kahli and Matt Aronson and appears on both Kahli's Grind Theory as well as The Sound Fuse's "Much Higher to Go..." albums.
Also, Altered Essence anxiously await the finalizing and release of their "Wake Up!" album this fall.
He dat walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he dat despiseth da gain of oppressions, dat shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, dat stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; this is da man who will dwell on da ites, whose refuge will be da mountain fortress. Bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. Your eyes will see da King in his beauty and view a land dat stretches afar.

Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. Muhammad Ali
