Bandcamp News – New Album Release; Remix This Vol. 4

BANDCAMP NEWS

16/04/2024 - New Album; Remix This Vol. 4

I’m back with a free download and the next instalment of Remix This. It’s mostly House remixes but there are two Jungle/Drum and Bass tracks and two UK Funky tracks in there too. As always I found the acapella online and made something new out of them and is a mixed genre from Trap, R’n’B and Motown with some other genres thrown in there and are some of my favourite songs to listen to. Some of the tracks are off my live music making I did on YouTube and I’ve made quite a few videos by now and I have plenty more to make so if you want to see how I make the music please go to my main YouTube channel @gasnolight. I’ve made a special place for my remixes with the original track and then my remix next to it. That can be found under the Inspirations page in the G.N.L drop-down menu if you are interested there are quite a few tracks on the page already and a mixed bag of genres so if you like your music or you want to hear the vocal samples I used please head to my Inspiration page. I must admit it’s getting harder to select suitable tracks to remix but I manage to do it cos I don’t make them all at the same time and are done over some time which I never rush but it is getting harder to find tracks and I don’t know how I find the good ones that I love. The first track Hiss (G.N.L. Remix) is Hiss by Megan Thee Stallion and something a bit current. It is what I call a club track and something for the party with the melody I made myself and is one of my favourites on the album. The next track Just Tripping by The Temptations and is another favourite on the album as I used a real tape deck by recording the vocals onto a tape deck and then using my Tascam to get the sound from and to record it. The next track Frozen (G.N.L. Remix) is by Madonna and is also called Frozen and is another one for the club. The next track Miss You (G.N.L. Remix) is by Aaliyah and is also called Miss You. It’s one of my overall favourites on the album as I love the bass and the lyrics. I used a bit of delay on some of the vocals for the crispy effect. The next track Recurring Dreams is by Lil Kim and called Backstabbers. I wanted to make something special for this UK Funky so I thought I bootlegged some vocals by making a DIY acapella of the song using RX7 by Iztope. Again it’s one of my overall favourites on the album as I love the funky rhythm and all what is in the song. I thought I haven’t heard a remix of the song Backstabbers and especially UK Funky so I thought  there’s a first for everything. The next track Burnt By The Fire is from Janet Jackson’s That’s The Way Love Goes and is a Jungle/Drum and Bass track. I made this track live for a YouTube video which can be found on my main YouTube channel as discussed before. I do like this track and again another favourite on the album. I like the chilled but danceable beat over the deep bass good for those large speakers, with more delay as I love to make a lot of delay in my House and my remixes. The next track Go Through Things is by Mary J Blige and called Changes I’ve Been Through. I’m happy with this one as I used more tape deck and didn’t come out too well I in fact had to resurrect the vocals and get them up to listenable level which was a task. The next track Receipts is from Notorious B.I.G. and is from You’re Nobody (Till Somebody Kills You.) I was shocked to found the acapella online but I thought I just had to remix the track as it’s one of my favourite tracks and from Biggie. The next track Skin (G.N.L. Remix) is from Rihanna and also called Skin. It’s one of my favourites of Rihanna and another one I thought I’d like to remix and see how it comes out. The next track is Came Back For You (G.N.L. Remix) and is by Lil’ Kim also called Came Back For You. I was most shocked to find the acapella of the song and thought I couldn’t turn it down. Again one of my favourites from Lil’ Kim and something a bit different. The next track is Children Of The Night (Howl) (Jungle Remix) and is from 1930 black and white film Dracula. I’ve made a few versions of this song including a dub version so I thought I’d add another version since it’s been a while now. The next track I Like (G.N.L. Remix) is from Guy’s I Like and I went for a 80s DJ mixdown and reminds me of the set from Sunrise Back To The Future and from the DJ Carl Cox. The next track Scrub is from TLC’s No Scrubs and something I made a while ago but thought I put on the album since it is a remix and it is okay I feel. The next track Tide is from Chaka Khan’s Miss The Water and another UK Funky track I made and favourite on the album. It’s another one I used tape deck on by recording the vocals onto the tape deck which I think came out alright in the end. The next track Baby My Love is from The Supremes Baby Love and another one I was surprised to find the acapella to so I thought I just had to remix it and see how it comes out. The next track Rhythm Of The Night (G.N.L. Remix) is from  Corona’s Rhythm Of The Night and something I was a bit scared to remix as it’s a old school banger but I’m happy with the outcome. The next track Searching 4 Love is from Mary J Blige’s Real Love and another favourite on the album. I like the chilled relaxing vibe to it and the the slight sadness to the song which is kind of funny as I was happy when I made this song and something I did quite a while a go but thought I rerelease it again. The next track Angels With Filthy Souls (Doorstep Material Remix) is from Home Alone 1 and the spoof film also called Angels With Filthy Souls. The next track My House (G.N.L. Remix) is from Beyonce’s My House and another favourite on the album. I thought with a track with house in I just had to remix it and again one of my favourite current songs from Beyonce. The last track Tears Of A Clown (G.N.L. Remix) is from Smokey Robinson’s And The Miracles also called Tears Of A Clown. Again I was surprised to find the acapella and it’s another one I thought I want to remix it and see how it comes out so I did.

Music News – New Album; Destiny Awaits

19/04/2024 - New Album; Destiny Awaits

I’m back and this time with a short six-track Synthwave album because I felt like doing some as always so sure why not? I used my trusted AKAI MPK Mini and plugins from Arturia the V Collection as I love to use them a lot in all my synth stuff including Synthwave which I make when I’m in the mood like all the genres I make. I called it Destiny Awaits as I feel all our destinies are awaiting and to be fulfilled only we are all stuck in this cycle of self-doubt and unsureness that we can’t rise above the tomb and conquer what our destiny is whatever that is. I have to keep telling myself that I will get there with the right nudge push and fall but now isn’t the time for me with my illness, which I’m recovering from and what I think is a spine injury and some other complications from my mental health which is in the brain. I believe the medicine is doing good and doing what it’s meant to be doing which is stopping the bad side effects of a mental illness. But it’s true all our destiny awaits and not in the fate way cos some people are mixed up in that goth life aka death and corrosion lifestyle and need to see a brighter day but of course be careful of getting destiny mixed up with fate. Fate is death and a negative whilst destiny is a mission to fulfil and for example marry your childhood sweetheart or get that job you so hard practised for or associated with, that’s my definition of fate and destiny but each to their own. There was a post by none other than Jack Jumping Frost a well-known English Producer, DJ and MC who was one of the originals who DJ’d Jungle and Drum and Bass and has been going for quite some time now. Anyway long story short he had this statement where he said you must be willing to fail to win and how it will teach a lesson and it’s true. Your destiny isn’t to say it wasn’t my time or destiny but keep pushing and making baby steps as you go something I think Kelly Rowland and the famous Ciara said if you know you know lol, oh yeah and that lady with the fan action. It’s easy to give up and let the haters eat away at you but what they seem to fail to understand and contemplate is you have good and bad days it is swings and roundabouts so don’t feel like you failed or no one cares it probably was the wrong time or not something they are interested in unless you suck at your craft. The point is a couple of points actually but number one never listen to a naysayer they are diseased and are past their bedtime, number two believe in your craft or know with enough time and effort you will conquer whatever it is you are doing and get better. Number three never chase the dragon yeah you got a few likes and comments on your last whatever it is but it is swings and roundabouts and you are competing with other people but walk away if it’s past your quote of what you find acceptable but only if you have a backup plan or you believe in thirst mites shall we call them, stay hydrated people. I think it’s unfair to sell unsalable dreams but they sell you them anyway all to get your money and basically scam you or get you into debt with the lifestyle you will acquire once those stocks go up which reminds me of how to do those YouTube ads about BitCoin and shares get passed it seems a bit Pyramid Scheme where the little man is sold dreams and gets nothing but pips and ash from the fat cat’s cigars “please sir can I have some more.”  Moving on to the tracks I made the first track Eat This is a synthy Synthwave track and is one of my favourites on the album. I like the synths and I like the nighttime feel to it it feels late night and a bit mysterious and something about it. The bass is nice and chilled and sounds like a Sine to me over the other synths which I think I was using the Prophet stuff from Arturia and there are a couple of them so I’m unsure what model it is but it’s one of them. I liked the feel of those synths quite a lot and were quite popular in the 80s by 80s pop bands. The next track Has The Nightmare Started is a surreal and dark track and again one of my favourites on the album. It has my favourite bass rhythms which resemble the Progressive Rock bass and are quite melodic. I also like the synths to this and add to the dark and surreal feel to it. There is a remix to this song that will be out soon on the 6 Pack remixes where I make six remixes of the old stuff I mostly put out on Spotify etc that will be out in a few weeks. The next track Backstop is another dark and mysterious track I also made a remix to and will be out on my 6 Pack Remixes album in the next couple of weeks. I used to like using the sequencer quite a lot so it was good to use one again after a long break from using them. They all have them on there and good ones so I might actually make a sequencer EP or album sometime. I also like the strings on this one which makes it sound heavenly but dark heavenly with that sequencer in the background and awful bass. The next track Remember You is a melodic happy church vibe song which I like and makes me happy. It has more sequencer vibes on and I like that and the bass which gives it a jolly awake track if you know what I mean. It does have a touch of darkness but is mostly a pleasant happy track. The next track Let Go (Inside Fear) is my overall favourite on the album and I like the bass and the claps over the melodic synths which like all the others on this album I used the Prophet from the V Collection from Arturia. I also like its mysteriousness and the tinge of darkness it has to it and I like to use it quite a lot in my music, especially my synthy stuff. I like to keep clear of generic even though sometimes I make generic tracks but I tend to stay away from those kinds of sounds. The last track Search For Me is another favourite on the album it has a bright synth and dark once again Progressive Rock bass which I love to use a lot and like to play that way as I like the melodic bass feel to it. I also like the strings to it and the bits that are repeated after the first synth pattern. It has that nighttime feel too which I like and also appeals to the daytime too. The bit in the middle that repeats reminds me of the melody to Three Blind Mice which I didn’t do on purpose it just happened so don’t sue me lol. Â
