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.Â
