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.

Music News – New EP; Holding Onto Time

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. 

Music News – New EP; The Night Is Young

21/08/2023 - New EP; The Night Is Young

Another House EP I made and the last summer House EP for this summer and one of my favourite EPS from this year even though I just made it. I made it a month or two ago and has been up for quite a while now and I’m not sure if it’s getting the played so I now decided to give it a bit of a boost IE share it a couple of times. I’m 38 now and even though I’m getting older The Night is Still Young hence the name of the EP The Night Is Young and a tribute to all the late nights I had and still have but as I said I’m always on my computer now. The EP is more club vibes and I hope they are more to taste as I stripped back the tracks for more bass and vocals which I still think sounds better than the couple of synths and the bass and vocals. I tend to make tracks with just bass drums and vocals now which leads to a clearer sound I think. The craziest night is Young Saga was when I thought it was 4 in the morning when it was 4 in the afternoon and it was getting dark and I managed to stay awake till 12 the next day due to the confusion of time, I was messy and messed up lol. I am very grateful for all the good things that have happened to me minus all the shitty things that happened but I have everything that I need apart from the money I probably need a bit more money but apart from that I am blessed and thankful to still be here and enjoy life to the fullest with no regrets. Well, I have a few regrets but I’m living for myself and for anyone who cares to join me cos as I told the haters I don’t live for you I live for myself but anyway I don’t want to bore you with pettiness. As I said before I think people should be happy with what they got whatever it is and stop looking at others to compete or make them feel better as it’s unhealthy and a coward’s game and I don’t want to be anyone’s or even a sucker.  But at the same time, forgive people who want to be forgiven and if you trust them mend any broken paths in your friendship or love life, but yes I don’t think being a sucker is good luck as people will take your kindness for weakness and bleed you dry and all the niceness out of you or so they think. I must admit I like being nice but it doesn’t pay as a YouTuber put it and it’s so true but I do agree with being friendly with people who want to be friendly with you but not the haters let me get the hater blocker out! I actually miss dancing don’t know if I would get into it, it might take a few drinks but I do like to get up every now and then and shake a leg IE dance, especially with songs I haven’t heard for quite a while or feeling dramatically. I’ve played a few already on my podcast which can be found on this website or on Spotify Podcast as it’s free and a perfect place to put a podcast but I don’t think it covers copyright I’m not sure. Copyright has really put a bummer on making playlists for the internet to enjoy I made a few and most of them if all got a copyright claim I already got a warning and I don’t want to push it but I thought music was meant to be enjoyed and basically there should be softer rules on making playlists on YouTube etc there I said it, but it’s so fun making playlist I like to make visuals too. 

Sunrise 89 Bumper Pack

August 18, 2023

The 12th of August 1989 which was a Saturday was one of the changing points of my life and partly made me the person I am today. It was late around 10ish at night which isn’t that late in my eyes but is for the four-year-old me. My mum caught wind of an event happening in a place called   Longwick in Buckinghamshire and she really wanted to see some live acts as at some or even most events you would get some sort of live performance by underground artists who were popularised by rave culture. I have a brother older than me by a couple of years and we each used to have a babysitter to look after us while my mum went out and let her hair down. As my brother was babysat by this person and I had my own babysitter and on the pretence that I would sleep the night away it was decided that I would go with my mum to this event. The event was called Sunrise Back To The Future and was if not the biggest event the Acid House promoters Sunrise and Back To The Future put on. It was hosted on a field off the M25 (a motorway/highway junction) and brought in thousands of people on this one field to party the night away. Being in the car on the motorway/highway and seeing in the distance what I now know to be a Ferris wheel and other fairground rides I thought that was funny I didn’t know they did circus at night and was new to me. Also to explain it wasn’t just Acid House music and live acts there were bouncy castles,  coffee stands, fairground rides, face painting and so much more and involved smaller businesses around the UK in order to put on the show. I remember walking through the field of the carpark and into the crowd and seeing all these people who looked aggressive but were friendly like anything which was confusing. It was also confusing seeing people on this field in dusk light due to the stage lights and other lights dotted around I really couldn’t put two and two together and was wondering what all these people were doing and being up so late or though I was four so being up in this darkness. Like my mum predicted I went back to sleep up until I was awoken by the promoter onstage who thanked the other promoters and took a five-minute breather for everyone to soak up the sunrise which was coming over the horizon and such a beautiful thing to look at. This was another turning point for me as I had never seen the sun peer over the horizon before and I started to wonder about the sun and its purpose. Thanks to UK kid’s shows like Playdays a popular children’s TV show from the 80s and early 90s I knew it was called The Sun but I didn’t know its purpose or understand the solar system but I did know or wonder that the sun was very hot due to the proximity of being close to it.  The crowd clapped, cheered and whistled as we all took several glances at the new day’s sun before the live acts came on the stage to perform in front of the crowd and carry on with the party vibe which was in full swing.

Music News – New EP; The Rough With The Smooth

07/08/2023 - New EP; The Rough With The Smooth

Another House EP I made about a month or two ago now but I just released it. The summer is nearly over so I probably start concentrating on doing more synths stuff and maybe my winter albums sometime. I still don’t know what to do whether it be Christmas or just winter or both who knows? I did my Halloween album for this year and can be found on all major platforms it’s called Tales Of The Darkside. I named the EP Rough with the Smooth as of course in life that’s how it is and I’ve done a full circle and came back the other way due to my mental health and the stresses of the jobs I was doing at the time. It was either staying and getting paid for what I enjoy doing in life or retiring early and working on my mental health and recovering from an already stressful world but on the possibility of me coming back and doing it again as the door was always open. I choose my mental health as I thought I could recover and come back and to be honest, this was in the 2000s by the way but it all vanished from my mind and I only remembered a couple of years ago when I was thinking back to the 2000s and before that. It was after the September 11th attacks the world got a bit downhill and things were being cancelled or put on hold which is when I was the most active but I saw the funding for things go down the drain and people lose their jobs it was quite stressful. I’m not that actual cut-throat when it comes to getting the job some people are just overbearing but at the same time, they do have their reasons. This is how I learned to take the rough with the smooth and not feel hard done by or take pity on myself as I never and I thought after all those years from the early 90s to 2005 I should take a rest as I always was on the go and living a happy and vibrant life. Now I like to stay in I used to have my dog Patch but I had to put her down due to old age which is another rough with the smooth outcome as I knew she wouldn’t live forever but I do miss her and going out a lot with her I live near to the country in the outskirts of Bristol in the UK so it was nice to get out and walk the country. Once I got stuck up a tree when the cows decided to charge me so I ran with my dog and kept her on the tree as I was taking pictures of my dog in her own world as she sat up the tree. In the end, I took charge and climbed down as they wouldn’t go then they decided to chase me down to the entrance where I escaped, she was a good dog though and I vow never to get another one because she was that good. I like to wake up every day with something new to do and that is something I am lacking at the moment which is something I would like to improve on but apart from being on the computer day and night it gets boring I like to get out there and do something new or old. 

Music News – New EP; Catch Me At Recess

27/07/2023 - New EP; Catch Me Recess

I made another House EP of Dancy tracks so more of the same as I seem to have gotten back into the habits of making rave tracks or what I call House/rave tracks. The EP is House but with two Break tracks which I sandwiched in between the other two tracks on the EP. I called it Catch Me At Recess as yet again more childish petty behaviour and mostly to Brexit but I won’t get into it but I will say this there seems to be a lot of monkies laying around who are quick to call themselves racist like it’s fashionable or a fashion statement. I don’t know what’s up with this earth we live on I know what I did and I know what I saw or heard and doing my own fact-checks on things is how I get to the bottom of things but people will lie for clout and this so-called power. Honestly, we are living with power-mad junkies who want to lord it over the normal people or so say, normal people. It’s not even the ones in power it’s this cancel culture we now live in and too many people with time on their hands. I mean to cancel someone they need to be the worst person out there and what I see is people with their opinions getting shouted out for believing something that mostly makes sense to any normal person. Don’t get me wrong I’m for change and for people to be heard and to change society one step at a time but when it turns into a shouting match it turns me off especially when it’s getting silly and weird. I like to have debates and be inappropriate sometimes it doesn’t make me a bad person and what I mean by it is mostly innocent as somehow I remove all the negativity out of it like the word spaz something I know isn’t a nice word to use but I mean you are having an unnecessary tantrum. I don’t really use slurs and especially racism but I never think disable people when it comes to the word spaz. I think we are living in a nanny state where the people in cotton wool jackets are patrolling the areas looking for someone to cancel or to go barny to. It’s kind of shocking how many outraged people there are maybe it’s the technology and the fact we now share everything actual that starts from scrapbooks or wedding and holiday photo collections everyone does or used to do. It’s shocking how many people rage on the streets and in shops there is nothing wrong with everyone losing it but there is such a thing as not causing too much of a scene I learned that the hard way and no I’m not a Karen. I’m not one to play childish games or be petty and I rather ignore it or talk about it as when I get mad I do get mad like Hulk mad and I don’t want to end up doing something stupid in the long run which is why I have my temper in check. I like to laugh a lot makes me happy and move but sometimes I’m not in the mood to be laughing and gun people down I wouldn’t do it in public like scream and shout and most of all act like a two-year-old. As I said I don’t play games and the haters can catch me at recess since we have gone into your time machine I have stolen from you but pushed you in and ended up in the school years of my life. It’s so sad to watch grown-ass people act like spoilt privileged brats.

Music News – New EP; Fairy Tales For Dummies

27/07/2023 - New EP; Fairy Tales For Dummies

Another House EP of clubby vibes seems to be what I’m making a lot of at the moment as it is or meant to be summer. I say that as the weather hasn’t been that nice the last time it was nice and hot with the sun out was around early June maybe late May I can’t remember but I wished it would be nice again but still doesn’t dampen the mood it just feels better. I called it fairy tales for dummies as I just thought it was a good title but also there is a lot of lies and misunderstanding in the world and with the internet and website like YouTube it’s easy to spread misunderstanding and lies and people are quick to believe whatever they said. I mean I like YouTube don’t get me wrong it is where I am the most and spend a lot of time there but I do get a bit bored when I see gossip channels and other outlets spread all these rumours without showing one part of factual evidence but speaking a lot of things. Again, I’m kind of for the gossip when they have something juicy I do tune in and watch the story but it has to be good and someone I know not some YouTube I’ve never heard of. That’s not me shady cos I know they are liked and known but a lot of people like the younger crowd on there are more likely to know them but I must admit some of them I’m glad I found out about them even though they are not people I would watch as it’s not thing IE makeup channels. I do engage in speculation, rumours and conspiracies but as I said a few times now it leads me down the wrong path so now I am a bit hesitant about what to believe and consume myself with as I like to get to the truth but when it becomes shady and damn right weird and stupid I turn off as I don’t believe in those sort of fairy tales that’s not the fairy tale that would come to mind. My fairy tale would be about getting out of poverty or overcoming a major hurdle in your life or even moving away abroad but I think everyone has their own image when you think fairy tale life oh rich and success without fame is another thing I would call a fairy tale that I would call and go to. It’s not the fact they are spreading lies and misinforming people it’s the fact it makes people look and feel stupid when they hear about something or found out that just wasn’t true plus I don’t believe in slandering people without them slandering them you first or without having proof and you know I keep it hot and truthful. Anyway, I am not at school no more and local gossip is a killer and something I don’t interact with but it starts a lot of trouble I just want to get on with my day and do something creative like making music. 

Remix This Vol. 3

Vol 2 of my remixes I made of other people’s pretty famous tracks from artists Brandy, Snap, Baby D, Danny Tenaglia and Celda, Petria, Pierre’s Phantasy Club, Quantic Soul, Adina Howard and more. If you want to know the songs and clips used in the songs then don’t worry I got you you can head over to the inspirations page for the clips and tracks with my track as well.

Bandcamp News – New Album Release; Remix This Vol. 3

BANDCAMP NEWS

10/07/2023 - New Album Release; Remix This Vol. 3

Decided to make a new Remix This and is Vol 3 so far and is of tracks I made ages ago and some I just made last night but the old tracks have been released ages ago on Bandcamp but they aren’t on there no more so I decided to rerelease it again and is a free download, I can’t sell them on the major platforms so enjoy. The remixes are from artists like Mary J Blige, Brandy, CeCe Peniston, Monica, Snap, Baby D, Adina Howard, Zhane and more, for more details on the exact songs used you can go to Creation Zone>Inspirations for the original track used in the songs. I do enjoy making remixes of acapella I found online it’s always hard to pick a song that I like and can use I also like to make my own acapella with Iztope RX whatever the number as it keeps going up. It’s always fun to make the acapella and hope it doesn’t mess up the bit you intend to use and that is always the way guess I’m bad at picking bits beforehand which is why I like to do it while I making it instead of it being planned and beforehand. I must admit I do feel blessed with all the songs and acapella at my fingertips but I do miss having the acapella on a single which was a main feature on most CDs and tapes of the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s. I don’t even know if they still do the acapella on a single or on the album which is rare unless it’s at the end with the remixes and that but I do miss having acapella on the singles, I would be making more remixes as. I find it hard to pick songs from the top of my head, I used to be good at knowing songs without playing them as I played them so much but now I struggle to think of songs, especially the more obscure ones mainly from the 90s but nowadays they are overplayed a little like One For The Money by Horace Brown. I can’t remember the first remix I ever listened to that would be a hard one but I did love all the remixes from the 90s especially R’n’B and Hip Hop/Rap and I love when they flip it around and turn Hip Hop to R’n’B or vice versa they did that a lot in the 90s and 2010s era in Trap, Hip Hop and R’n’B. They did some sick Hip Hop to R’n’B one of my favourites was just a female perspective something I also love when they switch perspective but one of my favourites is Milla J Don’t she was pretty good and had a couple of hits in my opinion but the most played was Smoke, Drink & Breakup but I like that remix a lot also the SWV remix to Anything Featuring Wu Tang Clang.
