Once again a dream or nightmare that I had recently that had Frankenstein in and now I think about it it’s a dream I had when I was much younger like when I was a kid it was probably waking up late at night and watching a bit of the old black and white Frankenstein films and the one with his wife in which I think is the second film that was also in black and white. As always I won’t go into detail about the dream as I’ve made a quick eBook with photos to demonstrate what was in my dream, most of which are local places as in my dream they were local only a few minutes walk from the flat I live in. But to sum it up we were in this hut and this stern lady who I think represented Margaret Thatcher the ex-Prime Minster of the UK in the 80s and early 90s but she was saying no to all the suggestions and she wouldn’t let us go anywhere somehow the dream or nightmare turned into down at the bottom of the field of a leisure centre but is a good local place to sit and chill in the summer and walk your dog if you have a dog that is lol. There was this tomb entrance with a fire torch at the entrance so a normal entrance you would see in a film or something. Long story short we came across Frankenstein who was wandering around in the corridors of this tomb and he nearly got us he wanted to bite us. Luckily we evaded him by running into one of the rooms that we were now trapped in. One person tried to make a run for it who he wasn’t that much liked but he got nabbed by Frankenstein and he was no more. This is when a neon tunnel appeared with missing bricks that made the hole and was a tunnel back to the bottom of the field and at the tomb’s entrance again. We made our way back to the hut which by the way is at the top of the field in my dream and in real life and in real life it’s a changing room for various sports that happen on the field but mostly cricket and football. We stayed in the hut for a bit where a couple of people venged the hated person’s death before leaving and walking down back alleys to our home. The next bit was many years down the line when I saw a couple of the people I was in the hut in a retirement home and one was acting very strange outside the home which was actually an old college I went to a long time ago and when I was 15 onwards. We all pretended we didn’t know each other and were strangers at this point but they looked a bit unhinged and silent from the trauma they faced. The first track No Can Do is an arpy number that represents waiting around and being bored like all the tracks on this album I used my trusted V Collection from Arturia and drums from the Roland 606 which I got from the Mars Drum Kit Pack. I like the Sequencer or Arp on this one and the chorus rhythms which I played using a MIDI keyboard and I like the end too which as always I like to bring to a finale so it goes somewhere. The next track The Tomb is a slow dark but mysterious track which I quite like. I like the synths over the aggressive bass which I think is one of my favourites on the album for its dark and mysterious vibe which represents the tomb and its entrance. I also like the ending to this one where I use dragging-on stone FXs to represent the tomb’s entrance door and the final push to the end where I put everything an Octave higher to give it that change and finale feel. The next track Stein In The Passage is upbeat but another dark and mysterious number which I quite like. I like the bass to this one I think it’s a catchy bass rhythm that represents the meeting of Frankenstein. I also like the chorus which turns out to be another one of my favourites on the album as I like the screeches and the dark synth that is in the chorus which also represents the meeting of Frankenstein. I also like the ending where the drums bring it to a dark closing with extra kicks, hats and an extra snare and with an extra synth added on top and also extra screeches which I found on the Pixabay website a good go-to place for FXs and photos too. The next track Trapped and One Dead is a frantic number which again I quite like I like the beginning synth which gives it that frantic feel but the bass kinds of chills it out but still has that kind of frantic feel to it like you are evading something or going round in a maze in circles. I also like the chorus bits too which again straighten it out a little bit and make it more of a chilled just chilling track. The next track Appearing Tunnel Savoir is a gentle but hard-hitting number that represents a tunnel appearing and going through it. I really like the synths on this one and I think is my overall favourite and one of my more gentler tracks on the album. I like the ending too where more drums and a sequencer or arp are added for difference and also an extra synth which reminds me of the Kill Bill sound when she’s about to strike. The next track Retirement is a happy and chilled number that I also quite like. I like the synths that go over the bass and I also like the ending too but I really like the second synth that comes in and makes it sound old and once again relaxing also I like the end synth which makes it feel a bit jazzy and happy. The next track The Tomb (Remix) is a House remix I made for fun and as I like to make remixes to my songs especially flipping them into new genres but I like it and reminds me of the more older Dance music and House music too. The last track Retirement (Remix) is the Drum and Bass remix to the original track Retirement. I would have done two House tracks but I felt like doing some Drum and Bass so I thought why not and was for a bit of difference between the album and the track before so here it is. 

One thing that always interested me was space and the solar system that surrounds Earth it started from the early years around four to five and started with the sun watching it each morning and night rise and fall and that eerie lighting you get in the summer around six to seven o’clock. Climates Of Our Solar System is an eight-track mini album that runs alongside my interactive post called Solar Planets which goes through the eight main planets in the solar system Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune with lots of information about them which I borrowed from Nasa and Wiki. I didn’t count the sun as a planet as that’s actually a star or did I do dwarf planets like Pluto the well-known dwarf planet but I kept it to the main eight planets or I’ll be there all day. I really learned a lot while putting the interactive post together and I put as much as possible with fun facts and other stuff I’ll leave a link in the button below if you are interested in learning about space and what is around you. As always I used my trusted Arturia V Collection with drums from the Mars Pack which I used a lot of the 808s drum kits as I like to use them quite a lot and were and still is a popular choice for most tracks. The tracks are also in the interactive post I made so I wanted to make something that was connected somehow so I worked it out and did climates of each planet with keywords like helium and gasses and tried to work it in the song somehow but I used the Matrix from Arturia’s V Collection quite a lot and is a go-to for spacy sounds from yesteryear and there’s quite a lot of sounds to choose from including basses, synths and pads. The first track Mercurius is about the planet Mercury which is a hot planet so I made it a summer song and something to play in the extreme weather we face. I like the vocals which represent the high volume of Helium on the planet with solar storms and harsh weather that a human just couldn’t survive on. I also like the Arp sound that goes throughout the song which gives it more of a spacy feel to or a planet in the future with the other stuff added on for luck and to make that full track. The next track Aphrodite is about Venus which is the hottest planet in the Solar System other than the sun it would out outdo Venus’s heat but as Venus is so close to the sun it gets the heat blast like Mars the neighbour planet but it absorbs the heat more as the extreme heats are easily lost on Mercury. The songs are more hot summer tracks which I used  Omnisphere for this one with stuff from Arturia plugins it’s one you can have in the background when summer is here and when it’s not being dry with that weather as England has more ups and downs than two people on a seesaw. I like the chorus bit too which I think makes the song and I also like the ending to it which as always comes to a climax. The next track Terra is based on the Earth and I used a fog horn on this one as most of the Earth is made of water and is a water planet but a special water planet that’s adapted throughout the centuries to survive and make sure everything is tickadee boo. I like the first synth and its rhythm which makes it an upbeat track and something more lively and of course upbeat. The next track Mavors is about Mars and one of my upmost spacy tracks which represents its cold at night temperatures and hot blazing summers but it’s not the hottest planet out there. I like the bass the second synth that comes in before the chorus which I think makes the track. I would say it’s one of my favourites on the album as I think it could be played when you are just chilling at home or if you are doing nothing just relaxing. I also like the ending too where as always gets spun into a climax. The next track Luppiter is about the planet Jupiter and as the planets move away from the sun it gets colder so this one is a bit icy and like a winter’s day but is still kind of warm with a smile on my face. This is another favourite on the album as I like the synths over the bass which I think goes well together. I would say this is one of my overall favourites on this album and think it has something about it you will enjoy. The next track Satunus is about the planet Saturn. I imagined Saturn to be a wasteland where nothing really happens and has more Helium vocals to represent the Helium element it has on its planet. Again this is another top favourite on the album as I like the spacy deserted feel to it which I think represents the planet. I also like the ending where I bring it to a soft ending with more synths and Helium vocals. The next track Caelus is about the planet Uranus which is the coldest planet in the solar system beating its neighbour and the one furthest away from the sun Neptune. Since it’s the coldest planet in the solar system it’s a chilly track which I used Omnisphere to bring out that bare-face winter feel which I like the sound of. I like the synths and the glacier-cold wind sound which is all from Omnisphere. It’s another favourite on the album and I just like the sounds and the synth bit that is the chorus. The last track Neptunus is about the planet Neptune and is the planet furthest away from the sun so another cold and icy planet. I like the synth at the start which sounds like somewhere icy and hard to get to. I like the bass to this one too and I think goes well with the other stuff I added and yet again another favourite on the album. 

Another Year Flying By is a seven-track Electronic album and the first album of the year so I’ll start off soft since New Year’s Eve is over for another year but hey the party continues in due course. I called it another year flying by cos that is what happening and I still can’t believe we are in another year already how time goes fast when you keep yourself busy. This mini album is to say goodbye to 2024 and welcome in the new year 2025 and I wonder what it has installed for us more dire circumstances and more shocking moments to come but I hope not. 2024 was a busy one for me with three websites; this one gasnolight.co.uk my main website, my second website gameforexperimentation.co.uk and my random website randomgas.com with all the music I have released during 2024 under my main artist name Gas No Light and my secondary artists name Game For Experimentation it’s been relentless. I actually spent New Year’s Eve the way I always do and is a new thing but I was changing hosting to a more affordable one and  I got it for £3.00 for the first three months and then after I paid £20.00. Bearing in mind I was paying £60.00 each month for C Panel and hosting with Go Daddy my old host and I was getting 200 GB storage space and the new host is sky’s the limit so this is why I changed my host and spent New Year’s Eve migrating all three websites to the new host.  That was a breeze but a windy breeze which means I ran into a few difficulties along the way but it wasn’t that bad since I did it once before swapping my WordPress host to C Panel with Go Daddy. WordPress hosting and C Panel are both great tools you will need to get your website up and running and are the hub for all the stuff you put out and all the backend stuff too (things the viewer won’t see like security, emails, SSL keys (the padlock on your website and means you are on a secure connection) that kind of stuff. I did mess up randomgas.com by changing the records too soon. The records in this case but are used for various things, is to point to the new server of your hosting which basically means keeping your old hosting plan and I used All In One WP Migration and UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugins to migrate the websites which is all the content seen on the websites. I recommend both tools for migration if you are using WordPress but UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin does have the upper hand as it’s free to backup and restore websites as All In One WP Migration you have to pay $60.00 for a year to restore it once you backed it up and downloaded the copy. I use FileZilla for that a free, open-source file transfer protocol (FTP) client that allows users to transfer files between a local computer (a computer that a user is currently using on a network) and a remote server (a remote computer that stores and processes information and performs tasks. The server is accessible over the internet.) My New Year’s Resolution is to save money and to find alternative cheaper sources so I can have more at the end of the day but still have all the things I need to get this show on the road. I’m making great progress I just got my internet and phone bill to do as I swear they put me on one of the higher packages that costing me money and I don’t even watch TV as I don’t pay a TV licence as I discussed before. All I need is a cheap internet and phone package and that would be swell I don’t want the sports channels or the film channels thank you very much.  The first track Auld Lang Syne – Intro is a quick intro I made since it’s a New Year album I thought I’d add that in. The next track Welcoming The New Year is a melodic slow-paced track to welcome the New Year. I like the bass over the synths and is one of my favourite bass patterns on this album and also I like the second synth sound and pattern which I think goes together quite well, it’s also my favourite on the album.  The next track Giving It Up is about making New Year’s Resolutions and is a sharp dark track to go with the theme of willpower and stamina whilst you are going through the pain of giving whatever it is you are giving up. It has a dark and distinctive sound which I quite like and I like to make dark tracks too so this is another one for the books. The next track Fresh Calendar is a soft and yet again melodic track that I enjoyed making and like to listen to. I like the synths over the bass which like all the tracks on this mini album I used Artuira and  Omnisphere and for the drums like always I used my samples that came from the Mar’s Collection a collection of all the most famous drum kits like the Roland 606, 707, 808, 909, the LinDrum and more, I used the Roland 808 for most of the tracks on this album. The next track Chillaxing is another melodic just chilling track. I like the bells and the bass on this one and I think goes well together and is the perfect track to have on in the background while you are chilling at home or wherever you are chilling to. The next track Another Year Passes is yet again a chilled track to have on in the background while you chill. I like the synths to this one and the bass on top of it which I think compliments it quite well. It should be a bit quicker in BPM to insight into the fast pace of this world but I wanted a slow easy-going album to start the year off so I went for calm and slow-ish. The last track Auld Lang Syne – Outro is the outro to the album and is slightly different from the intro. I really enjoy making intros and outros so I will be making more of them for my Electronic albums since they came out so well and I enjoy making them as you never know what I’d put in them or representing in song. 

Winter Solstice is an Electronic five-track EP I made for the Winter Solstice, which was on the 21st of December. It is the last bit of music I put out for 2024. Welcome to 2025. HAPPY NEW YEAR! For those who don’t know what Solstice is, it is the time or date (twice each year) at which the sun reaches its maximum or minimum declination, marked by the longest and shortest days (about 21 June and 21 December) and is celebrated at Stone Henge each year in the summer. Boy is it cold out though I know it’s winter here in the UK but going out is embracing I only nip to the shop which is a couple minutes walk to my local famous supermarket but I walk extra fast to get there and get back again in 0 of the time. I don’t know what happened to my gloves surprise surprise I can’t find them but I don’t own a scarf or hat even though I used to I know how exciting is that lol. It hasn’t snowed for a while now the last time was in December and that was vague and didn’t set I wish it would though I could get some nice pictures and do something with them or make a snowman I haven’t done that for years. The last snowman I made we called it Radar I don’t know if you have seen the picture but it was a bat-like snowman with pointy ears and branches for teeth I didn’t put any hats or scarfs around the snowman but it looked good spent a couple of hours making it and then posing and taking pictures with it it was fun. I do hate the winter though it’s so cold as I live on the top floor of a flat which isn’t that high up but it gets cold and dark up in here lucky for the heating which makes it warmer but when there is a strong wind it doesn’t work properly and it gets drafty in here but I always got my duvet. Summer will be next for us but for now, the cold air of winter is here and I wrap up warm and blast the central heating and look forward to spring my birthday and especially summer which is actually my favourite time of year. Winter Solstice (Intro) is a short intro I made for the EP and I like it quite a lot I like the wind sound over the synth stuff which I played using a keyboard it sounds quite good. I do like to make intros and outros for some of the music I make and is always fun putting something together for them. The next track Mid Winter Sun is a moody bassy track which I quite like and like all the sounds used in this EP I used Omnisphere which I like to use for all the summer and winter music I make. I like the bass to this one over the synthy sounds which I think is one of my favourites on the EP. Oh for the drums I used the Mars Collection which consists of all the most famous drum kits that ever graced this earth such as the Roland 606, 707, 808, 909, the Lin Drum and more but I like to use the Roland 606, and 808 drum kits quite a lot and started on the Lin Drum kit not so long ago since I don’t use it that much in my works. The next track The Snow Starts Winter is another moody winter track that reminds me of the snow or the cold wind but especially the snow. Again I like the synth sounds over the bass which once again I think goes together quite nicely and is one for just chilling at home or whatever. I also like the ending which I think brings it to an end and a climax so to speak. The next track Golden Sickle is another moody winter track designed for just chilling at home in the winter but like all the tracks can be played all year round. I like the bass which I think is the same bass as the first track but I played a different pattern which was by accident. I do like the bass over the chilled synthy sounds which is one of my favourites on the EP  I think the bass awakens the track and brings some liveliness to it. The ending is alright too with a more gentler finish to it and a repeater to let you know you have now come to the end of the track. The last track Winter Worship is yet another relaxing winter track and is my overall favourite on the EP. I like the synthy sounds and also the loud and in-your-face bass which I think makes the track. The tracks remind me of the cold winds that come from the Arctic. Again I like the ending to this one and the drums and the change of the bass brings it to the end with the final synth at the end. 

Night In Life is a five-track House EP I made not so long ago. I do like the nighttime and nightlife like the rave scene it’s the bustle of Friday and Saturday in your local town. Before I got attacked by a thug in the main city centre of Bristol I enjoyed walking around Friday and Saturday nights and enjoying the bustle of the city. Also when I went out raving over the weekends I really enjoyed the busyness and the feel of the night. I really enjoy London nightlife too it’s so much better going to a London rave as it carries on into the morning and there’s always something open. I don’t think I could keep up now with the night not without the stimulants or drinking energy drinks with your drinks. I still haven’t been out and about for a while now as I enjoy staying in but every now and then I feel like going out and having a good time which means drinking, dancing and listening to music I think I still have it in me lol. I called it Night In Life which is the alternative way I made up of saying nightlife and means having a good time in the nighttime even if that means you are home alone and just chilling. When I am out out I like to be out all night all up until the morning when the party carries on at someone’s house I hate going to bed early unless I drank too much and was sick and that has happened a few times but I really like making the most of the night and staying up until the next day that’s a proper good night out. The first track Nightlife is one of my favourites on the EP and I got the vocal samples like all the vocal samples on this EP from my own collection of samples which I bought off Loopmasters.com and was my first ever sample pack I bought so I thought I’d reuse it as the last batch I did with the same samples are unreleased and lost. I think it’s something to dance to or have on at home and is also something you could play in a mix or at the club. I like the vocals and the synthy side which again was from my own collection of samples and that’s the same for the drums they are samples I bought from Loopmasters.com and I think goes well with the song. The next track Knees Up (Make Time) is another one you could dance to or have on at home and I like the bass to this one which was actually a loop I shortened and made something new out of. I also like the synth sound too which again was a loop I shortened and made something new out of it. To succeed in life you must take time and take each step with precision and with precaution, people always hate on success but at the end of the day they took time in the craft and spent tedious hours of their lives practising and getting it right and they took time out to do so so quit hating lol. The next track Dance For Inspiration is another danceable track you could have on in the background. I like the synthy side to this one and the vocals which I think makes the track into something. I think it makes you want to dance or turn up a bit and is another favourite on the EP as I like the vocals and the downtempo feel to it but is still danceable. The next track Baby Can Dance (Hi Baby) is my overall favourite on the EP as again I like the downtempo feel to it and the synths over the bass it’s one to chill with while you relax or do whatever. I really like the synth pad with the vocals and other synth stuff I think it goes quite well and is a track you can play more than once and just have on in the background. I like the vocals the baby on fire and that is the reason why I called it Baby Can Dance (Hi Baby) also cos he says hi baby quite a lot and throughout the track. The last track After The Party Is The Party (The Party Begins) is another danceable track you can also have on in the background. I like the bass to this one and the synth stuff over the beat I think once again it makes it into a good track and one for the parties or rave scene. As I explained I like to stay up late and party hard so I thought I’d title it that for the early birds who don’t know how to party or throw shapes on the dancefloor.

Rhythm Of The Jungle is a four-track Jungle/Drum and Bass EP I made not long ago. I thought I’d make some more since I enjoy making them, they are popular on my Spotify list, and I haven’t made any for a while now, so here are some more. Just to point out the obvious I called it Rhythm of the Jungle as the play on words of Jungle music and the jungle and actually means the heart of the jungle or the motion of the jungle is best describing the title. It’s sad really to know the jungle is being destroyed at a rapid and alarming rate and there’s nothing we can do about it apart from re-educate and protest they say we don’t need the trees but we do and is not only destroying the jungle and ozone layer it’s also killing oxygen and also animals homes who have to rehome and be disturbed it’s sad. Not only that animals are becoming extinct due to the fact of things like deforestation and hunting rare animals but also the tribes who live in the rainforests not forgetting them too. I would love to visit the jungle I loved going to the woods when I had my dog so I imagine it being like that but hot and dangerous or more swampy and dangerous with all the wild animals, insects and other stuff you find in the jungle. I would also like to see a cool temple in the rainforest I saw Indian Jones I just need my hat and light brown shorts and better hope I don’t have to eat monkey brain that’s a joke cos everyone knows it’s monkey foot. The first track The Robots Are Down is a danceable track or one to have on in the background and I got all the bass and synthy stuff on this EP from my own collection of synths and bass and I think it was The Ultimate Reggae Collection which I got from Loopmasters a very long time ago but I still use most of the packs I got for bits and pieces and like all the tracks on this EP I got the breaks from Splice.com all my go-to places and packs when making Jungle/Drum and Bass.  I like the ending to the first track with the melodic and more breaks added for that jungle feel to it but overall I think the track is alright and can be played more than once. The next track Let’s Be Real is my overall favourite on the EP and I’ve had this for a while now and made it around 2019 I just came across it on my radio online radio Ghosting Radio and thought I just had to release it to the world. I had some hiccups along the way but hurrah it’s out now. I love the second half of the track with the synth and the vocals which again I found from my own collection of samples which I bought from Loopmasters.com. The track is full of energy and has a danceable bounce to it and the second half of the track makes it into an instant rewind. I do like the vocals on this and think it makes the song into something with the simple synth pattern and that synth I need more of that lol. The next track Manic Dramatics – Alternative  Mix is another favourite of mine on the EP. I like basses and the chorus bits where I add another bass which follows the main bass of the song it’s one to bop to and reminds me of strolling down the street in a rushy and frantic way. I made a few versions of this song the original version which was on my EP Like A Cow In The Night which was a Drum and Bass track and then I did a House remix version on my 6 Pack Remixes Series and then this one the alternative version. I must admit I didn’t set out to make an alternative version I added the stuff and I thought this sounded like the alternative version to the Manic Dramatics so I named it that as I liked it and couldn’t be bothered to change it but it sounds alright. The last track Feel The Vibes is another favourite on the EP and I like the bass and the vocals it’s one to chill to and have on in the background. I think the track is quite warm and can be played anywhere and reminds me of sitting at home on a hot or cold winter or summer’s day.
