06/05/2024 - New Album; 6 Pack Remixes IV

I decided to make some more remixes since I enjoy making them and it’s light work just arranging it another way. They are mostly released stuff except for one of them which is now unreleased and can’t be put out due to not having the right ID from my last account which was called Vision Of Colour. It’s more upbeat danceable stuff which you can also have on in the background if you are just chilling. The remixes are all House tracks but some of the original tracks are synthy stuff I made either not so long ago or quite a long time ago and does vary. I like to pick say synthy tracks and make a House remix out of it and like to see what it sounds like as a dance track for example. I would say this is dance music and is reminiscent of the early 90s dance scene with the heavy kicks and pumping basses. For the synth stuff I used some of the Korg Collection and it could be the M1 again but I did use different ones for the tracks. I know it was definitely Korg because I used it mostly on the original tracks like Has The Nightmare Started and Backstop. The other stuff were samples I found either from Splice.com or something I had on my computer like the basses were all from my own collection of basses and mostly loops which I cut down to a one-shot or one-hit as some people may call them. The first track Has The Nightmare Started (Remix) is a danceable 90s track that reminds me of 90s radio or radio in general, especially on a Friday and Saturday late night. I like the bass and the melodics and I would say is one of my favourites on the album for its old-school appeal to it, I don’t know it just reminds me of the flavour of the old-school seems like happiness you know ha. The next track Close Your Mouth (Remix) is another danceable track with an outrageous arp bass with the vocal overlay which I cut up myself from a sample I found on Splice.com. There’s something a bit Eddy about it and if you know the track you might hear the resemblance of the two tracks, it might be the arp which I think they used on that track. The next track Wormz (Remix) is a Deep House late-night track while the original I made was a Jungle/Drum and Bass track I made a couple of years ago now and is a far different track, this one is more of a relaxing track with soft vocals and deep melodic bass with a western feel to it which is the sample I found on my computer. It’s one of my favourites on the album and I like it for its soft side which I like to play on at night as it feels like nightlife if you are out raving still or are a raver and no longer go out. That’s why I like to play this sort of music it gives me what I need some nightlife and reminds me of being out and about when I was younger. The next track Galaxy Faded (Remix) is my overall favourite on the album and I loved the original which can be found on on my Afrofuturim album Space Lemonade an unreleased album but can be found on my Soundcloud page. I have more Afrofuturism music being released soon which is a cross between African music, Hip Hop, Funk, Reggae, House and synthy stuff it’s been uploaded just waiting a couple of weeks for the release I keep you posted. I like synths over the bass and drums which I think goes well together and for it being different from the other House tracks I make and reminds me of a car advert. The next track Talk About (What’s The Delay Remix) is another House remix for the books. I don’t usually make more than one remix of the track and did this one by accident but I’m glad I did as I quite like it and think it’s a danceable track. The original track was UK Funky so this is a bit different from that one and the other House remix I made which I think was on the last part. It’s one for the clubs and think it would work well there and also at home if you like cos you take the rave home with you lol. The last track Backstop (Remix) is a chilled deep bass but danceable feel track which is the remix to my Synthwave track Backstop. I like the arp to it and the bass with the dusty synthy sounds coming in every now and then acting as the chorus or hook.

26/02/2024 - New Album; 6 Pack Remixes III

More House remixes from some of my newer tracks I’ve made in the last couple of months. I like to make remixes or alternative versions to the tracks I make and I have done a few now on singles, EPs and albums but I’ve only just gotten started lol. I like to get House vocals for my Jungle/Drum and Bass so quite naturally I make some House versions too which I’ve done on a few of my Jungle/Drum and Bass tracks which some of them can be found on this album. As you can see this is a series I’m doing and is the third instalment of 6 Pack Remixes and it’s not the last I actually plan on doing some of my older tracks I made as remixes if I can find the files as that’s why I picked my newer tracks the files are easy to found and ready to go. I haven’t made one for quite some time now so I thought I’d make another remix album of some of my favourite tracks I’ve made and released. As always I got the vocal samples from Splice.com and the drum loops I got off various sample packs I bought in the past, same with the bass which I found on loops and cut them down to one shots so I can make a new bass pattern out of. As I said all the tracks are released tracks and all can be found on all major platforms like Spotify, Deezer, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Beatport and many many more platforms. I only remix my released tracks and makes sense to do just that as there’s no point doing a unreleased tracks as you might go looking for it and you can’t find it so I made it easier but saying that if I find those damn files I might actually do a few unreleased tracks. They were on a old hardrive which I think I haven’t got no more as when I dropped it and sent it off some of the files couldn’t be recovered sadly so I only have what they recovered. Anyway they were my most older tracks that were too long, loud or not loud enough so I’m not too bothered about those it’s the ones that started in 2019 when I was at my most productive working day and night making tracks from scratch as at the beginning they were just loops which I put together but it was 2018 when I started making tracks without loops or just one for rhythm sake. I made this track which I haven’t got no more it was of Talim from Soul Caliber it was break music not Jungle/Drum and Bass as it was slowed down breaks at 110 BPM but sadly I lost it but I do have a copy I keep hearing when playing it in a old mix I made maybe I should get it from that. Anyway I won’t be able to release it as it’s copy written vocals and from a well known game, good game by the way the first couple were the best as I liked going to the fortresses and fighting them I’m not so keen on the newer one too many cutscenes but that’s just me. The first track Desires (Remix) is a House clubby tracks which the original was a Jungle/Drum and Bass track I made on my Jungle/Drum and Bass EP I made not so long ago. It’s one of my favourites on the album and I think is danceable and fast paced I like the House vocals too which is also featured on the Jungle/Drum and Bass original track which I think sounds like Jungle/Drum and Bass vocals too. The next track Everything (Remix) is a bassy club track which the original I I made not so long ago. I like the basses and also the vocals as always I picked the vocals I like and know will come out good and is the rule of thumb when making music always pick the ones not that sound good but what works with the track you are making at that time, but saying that I tend to pick the vocals first before I even open up my DAW but then again sometimes I make the beat first so swings and roundabouts. The next track Dorothy Land Awaits (Remix) is another favourite on the album, I like the vocals and the bass too which I think goes well with the music and I think is a club track you could dance or listen to the choice is yours. I’ve already gotten into the meaning of the track but I will say it’s not a homophobic slur but about people being in some sort of fantasy and me being there already and walking people through the pain of that fantasy IE the stuff that is on say YouTube. The next track Darkness Follows Me (Remix) is another bassy favourite on the album. I like the vocals and bass as always and the vocals make me laugh as I think he is saying eat your body which I’m not all for cannibalism but sounds good on wax lol. I used the M1 from Korg for the synthy stuff which is a favourite of mine to use on the dance tracks . The next track Why You Lie? (Remix) is another bassy favourite on the album. I like the vocals which I think can double up as Jungle/Drum and Bass vocals but I like the bass too there are two basses in this song and some others too. I already made a Jungle/Drum and Bass track before with these vocals in and I also made a House track too which the House version can be found on all my major platforms I’ve already spoke about. The last track In This Darkness (Remix) is a track to have in the background and isn’t necessarily a club track but something for the background and to listen to without the need or mention of wanting to dance. It isn’t a favourite on the album but I like it all the less but we all have different tastes and styles so it could be yours who knows, as always I used the M1 from Korg for the synthy stuff made in the track but when is it isn’t lol.

Music News – New Single; Resolution

04/02/2024 - New Single; Resolution

I wrote a song sometime in 2019 it was a response to Aaliyah’s We Need A Resolution and I wrote it line by line changing them to their perspective. It’s from an album of me on all the tracks they can all be found on Bandcamp and maybe as a main release but some of the tracks are too loud and sometimes distorted thankfully this one came out okay so I thought I release it as a single with three other remixes I made after I made the original track I made in 2019 they are new basically. I enjoy songwriting and haven’t done it for a while now since I wrote back in 2019 when I made a few other albums. I like to get someone else to sing it so I can do the most and arrange a proper song or a House song something like Black Box or Inner Circle as I’m not a strong enough singer to sing melodies and harmonies and other stuff but I give it a go now and then. I haven’t yet found my voice as everyone has their recording voice I just speak the lyrics over the beat but I would like to sound more with it but I think it works for the song. I wrote it with the beat in the background and the lyrics to the original song which I found online writing a response to nearly every line. The song is just a playful funny ish song that talks about when people start to act ridiculous and the fallout of that which is not so much seeing Suzy anymore due to her selfish and paranoid roots of evil and also double standards of people due to their once again selfish and paranoid roots of evil need I say more.  The first track is the original track I mentioned before. It’s funny I did this before COVID-19 and the paranoid feeling when someone coughs it’s over now but once again something that I did before it happened maybe I’m good at timing or something but for some reason, I felt like putting a cough in it something I just thought of I don’t know why but it felt right so to speak. The situation as mentioned is a relationship gone sour and the need for a resolution to the ongoing back and forth which can be fitted to any situation in someone’s life which doesn’t have to be a relationship. There are a lot of one-liners and is one of my favourite tracks I wrote and it gets me back into writing more but I don’t have a mic at this time I’ll have to buy one and to be honest I don’t like getting on the mic too much but favour getting someone else to sing the lyrics as I mentioned before but I do enjoy songwriting and is one of my aspects I’m good. I’ve been writing songs since I was seven and also writing poems at the same age. Some of these get turned into songs sometimes changing them to responses for example if I wrote I hate myself the response would be Why do you look at yourself with such distaste or something simple like why do you hate yourself? or something like that. It’s pretty fun and I made my fair share of these tracks to my teachers when I was in school one read teacher, teacher turned into preacher where did she go she done lost her features. I was also good at making the school play rhymes or clapping songs rhymes and used to make them on the spot like like clap clap clap cheap like daps, her mother couldn’t afford it and that was that, they both were clapping songs and that one wasn’t as popular as what it said but I made up new ones every day or every time I was in the clapping circle with the girls and some boys. And for those who don’t know what Daps are they are cheap shoes but good for your P.E gear at school which is sports. The other three tracks are remixes one House remix one UK Funky House track and a Jungle/Drum and Bass track which are all new as I mentioned before and alternative versions of the original tracks which I did last month when I found the original track on my computer and though about rerelaseing it. 

Music News – New EP; High Voltage

29/1/2024 - New EP; Watch The Voltage

More music and it was the first EP of the year I didn’t know what I was going to make but I was listening to some old-school Jungle and Hardcore music from 1992 – 1993 by DJ Mickey Beam and I thought I was feeling some Jungle so I made it so more Jungle/Drum and Bass since I haven’t done it for a while now and getting a good feel of old school Jungle and also Hardcore music which is House mixed with break music, vocals, bass and synthy vibes. Even though it does have all those elements in the four-track EP, it doesn’t resemble the music I was listening to or was I trying to resemble it but is more in the mids 00s and 10s around where the bass was still bassy, melodic and harmonized. I’m quite pleased with how they turned out and I have my favourites, but as I like them all, I do have my favourites in the club and making music. I called it Watch The Voltage as perusal people need to watch the voltage come to find out I could attach that to several things in my own life right now. It’s all fine and dandy when you are sticking the plug into the main wires for the first time IE eating all that nasty up and all the lies and cowardness some people seem to go with it. Still, if you stick your fingers in the socket you are going to get an electric shock, especially with that silver spoon hanging out your mouth. The first track Watch The Voltage is a darkish bassy track which you can dance or rave to it’s sort of the music I myself like to dance to and is one of my favourites on the EP. I found the clip on a website it was a site where you can download free old movie clips and stuff and I liked the clip I used in the track. It sounds familiar to me but I’m not sure where I know it from. But yes damn the voltage is high on some of these channels but’s died down now but there was a lot of rotten tea shall I say. The next track I Can Feel is another bassy but radio-friendly track the vocals I got from Splice.com and I liked them for whatever reason so I put them in the track. I like the vocals and the bass the breaks I don’t actually make myself I also get them from Splice.com which is as you should know where I get my most legal stuff which is royalty-free or meant to be. I only say that as one release got thrown out the window saying it was copywritten material and got deleted from my account with no time to chase up the dispute I still haven’t chased it up, I’ll have to find it again but anyway I can make more lol. The next track Your Desires is my favourite on the EP and I am quite proud of it, to be honest. I like the vocals they are nice and powerful and reminiscent of 90s house and Jungle/Drum and Bass it definitely makes the song and gives it some impact. I also like the strings, I used the M1 from Korg I seem to like that a lot you get some good strings and other sounds to make good old-fashioned rave tracks. I’m sorry but I say it loud still can’t compare to new styles like the new wave of Dubstep and other genres that are new. I say the new style of Dubstep was more like slower at times Garage or UK Garage and was softer but bassy and had a lot of melodic stuff not just hard-hitting whops and ear-grinding sounds…..am I in the grandad in all this…huh! Moving on to the last track In This Darkness is another radio-friendly track that is a bit soft but has a hard bass to it.  I like the vocals and again I use the Korg M1 for the synthy stuff I did say I liked or preferred the tracks without the synths and liked or preferred bass and drums but I do like using synths on the tracks still and I’m now thinking a mixture of tracks with and without the synths on there but it’s hard to find the ones I like and would use to make it swing right but it might be cos I’m too picky and stuff lol.

Music News – New EP; Fear Inside You

January 22, 2024

08/12/2023 - New EP; Fear Inside You

The last EP of last year 2023 and more clubby house tracks. I called it Fear Inside You as I thought it was a good title for an EP but more importantly, the older I get I’ll be 39 next year but the older I get I realise that fear was inside me and I can’t be shy or get paranoid about silly things and also things that are out of my control. I’m more of a happier person now I have dealt with my paranoia and other issues that were a burden to handle from a young age but I survived and got through it and I can still produce a smile. It’s not only fear that lives inside you that needs to be let go of but it’s also your well-being and not overdoing it with say drug substances or alcohol too much is damaging for your body. You might end up regretting starting the abusive relationship you will develop from too much drug substances or alcohol for example. This is except for cannabis and some other drugs I won’t mention not to get the hype bandwagon out but too much of something is always a bad thing. The other thing as the song from Martin Ikin’s Nothing To Fear goes, (And in case you don’t know what song that is it is a house banger with an acid bass and diva singing.) As the song goes “I think it’s something I feel but there is nothing to fear.” It’s all inside you and something you feel which at times can be quite tense and scary but it’s mostly in your head. Especially when you have the haters on your back but if you know you’re not X, Y, or Z there is no need to stress about it as they also say the truth will set you free and lies will always be unwebbed. I am a believer in not letting your fear get the better of you and doing bold things like doing something you don’t do and is out of your comfort zone especially if you see light at the end of a very dark tunnel. I was lucky though I had the guidance around me to guide me through my younger years and also my teenage years which helped me help other people better whilst they went through their troubles and stuff but it’s all swings and roundabouts. It’s the same with the luck I had from my younger years to around 22 which I’ll be sharing on this website gasnolight.co.uk as I make them. The first track Ahead is a bassy house track not my favourite on the EP but I like it. I think it needs something more to it but you can be the best judge of that. I do like the vocals which like always I get my vocals and one-shots and loops from splice.com. It reminds me of stuff you would hear in a club and I would say it is danceable or something you could stick on at a party but not my first choice.  The second track You is not the most danceable go-at-it track on the EP but I think it’s the type of music to have on in the background while you do your thing but is suitable for the lounge of a club or something for the cloak staff in the cloakroom. It does get more clubby at the end where I like to change the beat into something new, upbeat and faster-paced to close the song down. It’s one of my favourites on the EP and I like the end bit the most on this track even though I should have added more elements to it like some unexpected sounds. I’m relearning how to make music and is a step-by-step process which involves listening to other people’s music from the early years the most to get a good feel again. The next track There goes to the haters simply questions snivelling vinegary tits are you there? As in are you all there? Or do you need a blanket and some coco ha! I like the vocals on this and the bass I made which made it more unaware dancing in the club track which I’m happy with. It’s another favourite on the EP and probably my overall favourite on the EP as it’s something to dance to and have a good time and is something I would dance to in a club or rave for example. The last track Let Me is a bassy track and is a medium-paced track that is danceable but also good for just chilling or doing what you do like on the computer or jogging/working out. It’s not a favourite on the EP but once again I do like it and am happy with it even though I don’t class it as my favourite I like the change of feel to this track which makes it sound different from the others’s tracks on the EP as I like to make them all different or though that’s always the plan.

02/11/2023 - New EP; The Last Time

Happy New Year people I hope everyone had a nice night I didn’t do much but ah maybe next year. I made this EP now last year now and is another House music club party EP for you. I love to make House music quite a lot nowadays and seems to be the most popular so I thought I make more since I enjoy making it and is more popular than the other stuff I make but I will make more of the other stuff one day lol. The first track Born is a club party track that I think would be good for dancing and has a club/rave feel to it. It’s one of my favorites on the EP as I like the club feels to it and is good for stepping you can’t beat a bit of one-two-step music ha. I got all the vocals from the same place Splice.com and I think has the best club vocals that are good to go and don’t take much messing about IE putting FXs and other things on them. The next track Just is another favorite on the EP and is something I would have on in the background it’s not the most danceable track but the bass and the rhythms make the track and I think is something to enjoy. I like the vocals on the track and I also like the bass too I have a wide range of bases now but I tend to use the most bassy basses as I like my bass bassy and loud. I would say the track has club appeal to it and is something you could play in a club but is not the track to go wild with and is a steady pace track I would say. The next track May U is another bassy house club track that you could dance or bop to if you are not in the club. It’s another favorite on the EP and I would say my overall favorite on the EP as I like the bass and I also love the vocals to this one it makes it more vibey and clubby. I would say you could dance to it and is another track to two step to or skip to and is the stuff I tend to listen to in my spare time when I’m not making music or when I go out I love to listen to tracks like this and just lose the time and before you know it the lights are on and it’s over. 🙁 The last track Around The Corner was inspired by Christmas coming around the corner and now it’s over for another year but I based the title and the music on Christmas and was my House Christmas song even though you could listen to it throughout the year. I like the bass and again I love the vocals it’s a kind of opera that I ran to by accident and thought I could use the vocals for something special or what it was intended for. I would say it’s similar to Deep House and has a calm and pleasurable feel to it and is something you could have in the background or at the start of a night before you go out. You don’t hear a lot of Opera in House music so I think it’s unique and works quite well for Deep House and other genres similar to that. It’s not my favorite on the EP but I like it and think it’s some good music to listen to.

17/11/2023 - New EP; Holding Onto Time

Another four-track House EP and something for the dancefloor as always. I felt like doing some more House as I was in the mood but I was taking a break from The Sims 4. By the way sorry for the unwanted Sims 4 emails if you got emails from me I’m shuffling it out as I moved from Sims 3 to 4 so I didn’t put the right settings in but if you want Sims 4 updates then please go to Creation Zone>Gaming Lounge>Sims 4 Downloads on this website and scroll down to any of the pages after that including the main page where you can sign up for live updates for Sims 4. The first track Past Time is a bassy club track and is vocal like all the tracks as I like to add vocals in all my House tracks and most of my Jungle Drum & Bass which I haven’t made for a while and might be something I’ll do in the future. I called it Past Time as I like to keep occupied and do stuff as I always say and said a few times now I don’t like to sit around and do nothing and like to pass time doing stuff not watching films or TV or even playing the computer nowadays I like to do creative stuff and has to be something hands-on and also easy to use. I like the first track and thought it was a good club track or something for the workout/gym and also in the background wherever you are. It has the Tech House vocals which I like and tend to use quite a lot in my tracks and used them in a few tracks now as it’s one of the vocal styles I go for in my tracks. The second track Dorothy Lands Awaits is for the people stuck in a tornado IE too much fantasy and not enough reality and also for the YouTubers who spread false information on their conspiracy channels. As I said before I love a conspiracy but when it goes too far like when they say something nasty like a nasty rumour and that person is dead or even if they are not it’s like having some respect. It’s probably like they don’t mean it some of them and they generally think that it’s true but some stuff is just silly and some things are sick. I see a lot of people digesting unsavoury food and some people are just born guinea pigs and need a feeder or something. Dorothy Land Awaits is a Deep House mellow vibe another one for the speakers and also something mellow as it’s not that fast-paced and I think is relaxing in a way. The third track Doll has no meaning I just thought it was a good title as comes from the title you doll and is shortened to doll so I thought I’d name it that also it sounds like she saying doll in the vocals but I still haven’t figured out why she saying I think it’s actually so what. The track has more bass, vocals and House four-by-four beats and is one of my favourites on the EP so was the last one actually Dorothy Land Awaits. The last track On Repeat is also one of my favourites on the EP and is something to dance to as all the tracks but I like to dance to stuff like this and something old school as well. It reminds me of old 80s or 90s House tracks which I think it’s the bass that makes it feel that way as well as the dusty claps which I like and think it moves the song onwards to the next bit. I like the vocals too and think it also makes the song and I think goes well with the bass and drums but you can be the judge of that we all have different tastes.
