I’m back with a free download and the next instalment of Remix This. It’s mostly House remixes but there are two Jungle/Drum and Bass tracks and two UK Funky tracks in there too. As always I found the acapella online and made something new out of them and is a mixed genre from Trap, R’n’B and Motown with some other genres thrown in there and are some of my favourite songs to listen to. Some of the tracks are off my live music making I did on YouTube and I’ve made quite a few videos by now and I have plenty more to make so if you want to see how I make the music please go to my main YouTube channel @gasnolight. I’ve made a special place for my remixes with the original track and then my remix next to it. That can be found under the Inspirations page in the G.N.L drop-down menu if you are interested there are quite a few tracks on the page already and a mixed bag of genres so if you like your music or you want to hear the vocal samples I used please head to my Inspiration page. I must admit it’s getting harder to select suitable tracks to remix but I manage to do it cos I don’t make them all at the same time and are done over some time which I never rush but it is getting harder to find tracks and I don’t know how I find the good ones that I love. The first track Hiss (G.N.L. Remix) is Hiss by Megan Thee Stallion and something a bit current. It is what I call a club track and something for the party with the melody I made myself and is one of my favourites on the album. The next track Just Tripping by The Temptations and is another favourite on the album as I used a real tape deck by recording the vocals onto a tape deck and then using my Tascam to get the sound from and to record it. The next track Frozen (G.N.L. Remix) is by Madonna and is also called Frozen and is another one for the club. The next track Miss You (G.N.L. Remix) is by Aaliyah and is also called Miss You. It’s one of my overall favourites on the album as I love the bass and the lyrics. I used a bit of delay on some of the vocals for the crispy effect. The next track Recurring Dreams is by Lil Kim and called Backstabbers. I wanted to make something special for this UK Funky so I thought I bootlegged some vocals by making a DIY acapella of the song using RX7 by Iztope. Again it’s one of my overall favourites on the album as I love the funky rhythm and all what is in the song. I thought I haven’t heard a remix of the song Backstabbers and especially UK Funky so I thought there’s a first for everything. The next track Burnt By The Fire is from Janet Jackson’s That’s The Way Love Goes and is a Jungle/Drum and Bass track. I made this track live for a YouTube video which can be found on my main YouTube channel as discussed before. I do like this track and again another favourite on the album. I like the chilled but danceable beat over the deep bass good for those large speakers, with more delay as I love to make a lot of delay in my House and my remixes. The next track Go Through Things is by Mary J Blige and called Changes I’ve Been Through. I’m happy with this one as I used more tape deck and didn’t come out too well I in fact had to resurrect the vocals and get them up to listenable level which was a task. The next track Receipts is from Notorious B.I.G. and is from You’re Nobody (Till Somebody Kills You.) I was shocked to found the acapella online but I thought I just had to remix the track as it’s one of my favourite tracks and from Biggie. The next track Skin (G.N.L. Remix) is from Rihanna and also called Skin. It’s one of my favourites of Rihanna and another one I thought I’d like to remix and see how it comes out. The next track is Came Back For You (G.N.L. Remix) and is by Lil’ Kim also called Came Back For You. I was most shocked to find the acapella of the song and thought I couldn’t turn it down. Again one of my favourites from Lil’ Kim and something a bit different. The next track is Children Of The Night (Howl) (Jungle Remix) and is from 1930 black and white film Dracula. I’ve made a few versions of this song including a dub version so I thought I’d add another version since it’s been a while now. The next track I Like (G.N.L. Remix) is from Guy’s I Like and I went for a 80s DJ mixdown and reminds me of the set from Sunrise Back To The Future and from the DJ Carl Cox. The next track Scrub is from TLC’s No Scrubs and something I made a while ago but thought I put on the album since it is a remix and it is okay I feel. The next track Tide is from Chaka Khan’s Miss The Water and another UK Funky track I made and favourite on the album. It’s another one I used tape deck on by recording the vocals onto the tape deck which I think came out alright in the end. The next track Baby My Love is from The Supremes Baby Love and another one I was surprised to find the acapella to so I thought I just had to remix it and see how it comes out. The next track Rhythm Of The Night (G.N.L. Remix) is from Corona’s Rhythm Of The Night and something I was a bit scared to remix as it’s a old school banger but I’m happy with the outcome. The next track Searching 4 Love is from Mary J Blige’s Real Love and another favourite on the album. I like the chilled relaxing vibe to it and the the slight sadness to the song which is kind of funny as I was happy when I made this song and something I did quite a while a go but thought I rerelease it again. The next track Angels With Filthy Souls (Doorstep Material Remix) is from Home Alone 1 and the spoof film also called Angels With Filthy Souls. The next track My House (G.N.L. Remix) is from Beyonce’s My House and another favourite on the album. I thought with a track with house in I just had to remix it and again one of my favourite current songs from Beyonce. The last track Tears Of A Clown (G.N.L. Remix) is from Smokey Robinson’s And The Miracles also called Tears Of A Clown. Again I was surprised to find the acapella and it’s another one I thought I want to remix it and see how it comes out so I did.Â
I went on a live spree doing back-to-back five-song music-making live on YouTube and I quite enjoyed making them as always. I went for the genres I make a lot of which are Synthwave, House, Jungle Drum and Bass, Chiptune and UK Garage. Okay, I haven’t made quite a lot of UK Garage but I’ve made some so I thought I make some more since it’s something I enjoy making but don’t make too much of. I make more House, Jungle/Drum & Bass and Synthwave as that’s what I like to make and enjoy making the most. I didn’t know what else to call it so I called it The Music Sessions as it’s me making music live and not knowing what I was going to do next just me and my Akai keyboard which is a small but handy thing and it fits on my desk nicely. I keep meaning to be more active online and this is a small bid to start doing just that I liked the thought of making music live even though no one would watch me at the time which does make it easier to make the music knowing there ain’t no one’s watching or waiting for the next bit, I like to take my time but not take too long on it as the music gets boring. This is why I like to change the synths halfway through to give it some new life otherwise I liked the track and didn’t want to change it. I sampled two tracks on this EP which I won’t be doing again as YouTube and their rules and regulations I really don’t want to get banned from the platform or lose anything. I didn’t have a warning from YouTube until last week that was and I’m not happy about it. How are DJs meant to survive with all these rules? It does dampen the mood of good old-fashioned music making but lucky I make music myself as I own the rights to most of the songs I make except the copyrighted ones like the remixes I make and give out as free downloads, I don’t mind making free music as well. The two songs I picked and found samples on my computer were Janet Jackson That’s The Way Love Goes and Lil’ Kim the skit at the end of No Matter What People Say off Notorious K.I.M album. I wasn’t even going to do sampling on the tracks but I was listening to the song and the acapella and worked out they would go together quite well so I added them all together in two separate songs Burnt By The Fire and Whoose Calling. The Lil’ Kim skit is one of my favourite skits with TLC of Crazy Sexy Cool and the intro to Aaliyah’s Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number it’s the “I see her ass at the MF concert” on the Lil’ Kim skit though FIY it’s going down. I did use some aiders one drum pattern per song and did it on two songs, the other two I did myself as I wanted to make it interesting and it turns out that kept me happy as by now making music is sometimes a chore but an enjoyable one once you know what you are doing and making and it’s all laid out. Also, there is a bit of Janet Jackson’s – That’s The Way Love Goes on the sixth track, Dracula the 1913 version on the seventh track, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles’s – Tears Of a Clown on the eighth track and Diana Ross and the Supremes on the last track the tenth track. making it into sessions better for me as I can come back and make some more shortly and some genres I don’t make a lot of as I said UK Garage is one of them and also gaming music which I make now and then. My favourite tracks on the album are Summer Lasting, Now’s The Time, Children Of The Night (Howl) (Jungle Remix), Lost Control and Tears Of A Clown (The G.N.L. Remix.) My overall favourite is Tears Of A Clown (The G.N.L Remix) and Lost Contol.

More Christmasy tracks and Vol 2 of this year’s carols that are remixed to the future. This time it’s all Synthwave or synthy tracks. Again I picked my favourite and some of them I liked and sang in school. It’s been a few years since I made a Christmas carol album so I thought I would make it and remake it more synth as the title does say synthmas so it does suggest lots of use from synthesizers. Again just to point out the obvious merry synthymas is a sort of play on the words merry Christmas and has the words synthesizer and Christmas in the title. I only know the most famous carols and Christmas hymns so it was hard to make up another 12-track album with new songs so I decided to remake my favourite and choose some other’s I didn’t consider last time. Watch Their Flock is the hymn Whilst Shepherds Watch Their Flock By Night and is a Christmasy Synthwave track with the 80s drums and Christmasy synthesizers which I think make the songs on this one and has that Christmas feel to it I think. It’s not one of my favourites on the album but I enjoy it and would be something or something I would listen to around Christmas. Holly is from the Christmas carol The Holly And The Ivy and has this Christmas feel to it with something that sounds a bit like a Haripschord with the fat bass over it. It has an 80s feel to it too and I would describe it as a bit mellow and a bit Hip Hopy with the synths that play after the main melody of the song and carry the song making it a bit different from the last version. The next song Christmas Tree is from the Christmas song O Tannenbaum or Oh Christmas Tree I like the laid back but melodic and uncertain feel to it and brings it into the future. It’s one of my favourite carols to sing even though I have forgotten all the lyrics but I like the melody to it and the ending to each bit which does get tiring on the singing side but it’s a nice Christmas song I think. The next track Ye Merry is from God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and is something a little bassy, dancy and a bit different and also fun. I like the fun side to this song and isn’t necessarily Christmasy but might be fun for the Christmas party with alcohol involved. Like all the songs it has an 80s backdrop with the drum patterns which I made myself and love doing 80s drum patterns, especially electro stuff. Night Silent the next track is from Silent Night and is something a bit different to the album and Christmas. Well, I say that something samey something different. I like the calm feel of it and the different synths which can be heard from the start of the first synth. It’s one of my favourites on the album as I think it’s quite a soothing song to listen to and also Christmasy. Three Ships is from the hymn I Saw Three Ships Sailing In and is a funky Synthwave track. It’s also another bassy track and an old favourite one to sing to and reminds me of school and also singing it in church Christmas time in the early 2000s. Noel is from the hymn First Noel and another favourite on the album. I like the calm and soothing feel that reminds me of Christmas and winter. It’s a good track to unwind and just relax by the fire or whatever which is what it reminds me of. Ye Faithful the next track is from Come On Ye Faithful and is another favourite on the album as I like the Christmasy jolly feel to it which starts at the beginning of the track. I also like the bass and the chorus to the track which is the main bit of the song and is repeated a few times. It definitely reminds me of Christmas and again is something I would play around Christmas and hopefully you do too. The next track This Child is from What Child Is This and is again one of my favourites on the album as I like the electro bass to it and the Christmas feel to it. It has a whole lot of bounce to it which I like and the standard drum patterns but I think the bass makes the song with the synthesizer you hear at the beginning of the track and goes throughout the track. The next track Good King is from Good King Wenceslas and is another jolly upbeat version of the song and isn’t my favourite but I like it all the same. I like the upbeat feel to it and is one of my favourite hymns to sing and is one of my favourites overall. I think it’s another song that reminds me of Christmas and is something to get drunk with or have fun doing whatever you think is fun. The next track Three Kings is from We Three Kings Of Orient Are and again one of my favourites on the album as I like the bass and the synths which make it funky. I also like the bits of the chorus which I think makes the song with the bit before that. I would say it’s my favourite overall track on the album and also reminds me of winter but especially the holidays. The last track on the album and to finish this edition of Merry Synthmas is Lang Syne and is from the New Year’s song Old Langs Syne and as if I had to tell you that. It has a calm feel to bring in the New Year of 2024 and is not something I have done before or considered to have the Merry Synthmas album but I thought I put it on as something different and relaxing. Well if you celebrate Christmas or whatever you celebrate have a nice Christmas and also a Happy New Year or though I’ll be posting more during that time just in case Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.
Something a little Christmasy and Vol 1 of my Synthmas Christmas IE synthesizer music with a Christmas twist. It’s an old album I made years ago and decided to release as a main album for Christmas. This year I did Vol 2, which is also up on all major platforms and is more synth stuff than this one as this one is a mixed-genre album but I’ll be posting that in the next week or two a little bit about the album so stay tuned for that. The twelve-track album is of Christmas carols and hymns which I picked as my favourite for this album. I enjoy Christmas carols in the church but I haven’t been for a while it gets me in the Christmas mood. I found the MIDI files online from various websites so shout out for the recordings. The first track Three Kings is a synthy track which has a choir on the track and is one of my favourites on the album or though I could have made the choir a bit better but it’s okay I suppose. The track is from We Three Kings of Orient and is my favourite carol or at least one of them. I like to make a choir version one day maybe next year as next will be a winter album but I have a few releases up or to be released soon so look out for them. The next track another favourite on the album Holly and is from Holly And The Ivy another favourite and well-known Carol. The song has this 70s bass to it with a melodic melody to the carol and also it has this bright Harpsichord sound that I think makes the song. The next track The Good King is from Good King Wenceslas and another favourite Christmas carol and carol on the album as I like the 80s feel to it without it being too Synthwave but it’s a synthy house number it’s kind of chilled but upbeat at the same time and has this cool feel to it which I like quite a lot. The next track Hark The Herald is from Hark! The Herald Angels Sing and yet again another favourite on the album. I like the arp and the 80s bass it’s quite a chilled track and one of the chilled tracks on the album. It definitely reminds me of Christmas this one and is something I play quite a lot around Christmas time. The next track Ye Gentlemen is from God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and is one of my favourite carols yet another one. A bit of a change for this one and is a Reggae-infused track which I also like to play around Christmas and is something different. The next track This Child is from What Child Is This and is a House track again something different and something a bit bassy and Christmasy another track that feels like Christmas probably cos I play it around Christmas and also on my radio Ghosting Radio every day from 8.00 PM – 12.00 AM, Monday to Friday and 6.00 PM – 12.00 AM, Saturday and Sunday from the 25th of November to 31st of December GMT every year. The next track Ye Faithful is from Come All Ye Faithful and is a relaxing track not one of my favourites in general and on the album but I do like it. It reminds me of New Year’s Eve and also Christmas as I think the synths make the track or though I think it’s so so but I do like it. The next track Noel is from First Noel and is yet again another favourite in general as in carols and also on the album. I like the synths and the bass which I think it goes together quite well and I like the bit that comes in the quarter a way in the track, it also reminds me of Christmas I think it’s got a nice Christmas feel to it. The next track Do You Hear What I Hear is from the carol Do You See What I See. It has yet another 80s bass with synth music and relaxing drums or generic but it goes with the synth stuff. I like the follow-on patterns and the flute-like sound it makes it feel Christmasy but also funky. The next track Away In The Manger is from the carol Away In The Manger and is another funky favourite on the album. I made it a bit more upbeat and it has this Hip Hop feel which reminds me to do more Hip Hop sometime as I enjoy making it and haven’t made any for a while now. The next track Watch Their Flock is from Whilst Shepheards Watch Their Flock By Night and is another favourite carol and also on the album. I like the bass and the synth stuff which again makes it Christmasy and gets you in the mood for Christmas. The last track Night Silent is from Silent Night and another favourite on the album and in general. I like the calm peaceful of it which I think is quite relaxing and again Christmasy for some reason it reminds me of Christmas Eve and also Boxing Day.

This is part of an online quiz I made and is What Deadly Sin Am I? You answer the questions and you get one of seven answers depending on what you answer you know the drill by now. This one is Gluttony so fat and round music that will leave you eating for days and non stop only kidding. It is all synthesizer music hence the name Seven Deadly Syns and is all of stuff I made in the past 6 years and stuff that is not released anymore but I’m giving it away as a free download to enjoy anyway enjoy the free download.
A mixed bag of House and a Jungle tracks that I made recently and was a single as I felt like doing a single I haven’t done much of them only the odd one or two so I decided to make one for fun and put it out on all the digitals and more summery music for the nice weather. It’s been so nice I got my fan on it’s been a hot night, to be honest, but thank goodness for the fan lol. I have more club tracks lined up like this and I think it’s a massive improvement but I let you be the judge of that when they are released within the next two weeks but should be less than that, or alternatively go to my Soundcloud page the link is in the top header menu with all the other socials. As the title reads love isn’t just a thing and it’s not a game either I hate to see people in misery cos they mistreated the person so love them right basically and that does count me as a person why not. We have all been in love I remember one person I won’t say her name but I thought we would be together for eternity but it wasn’t meant to be we were on both different paths like she wanted to settle down and live dare I say normal lives and I also loved the excitement and a bit of change every now and then so that was one thing and the main reason why we dare I say again fall apart but it didn’t end sour which is always a good thing. I bring that up as it was at that time I realised that love wasn’t a game and even though I have seen many car accidents when it came to love it dawned on me when I was around 15 that I was to take it seriously or have no love at all. Turns out other people wouldn’t take it as seriously as I did but hey we were young and dumb so it’s all in the past but if I was married with kids that would be different…sort of. I’m very picky with what I do and for example who I will have kids with if I will ever have any at all which I doubt but there were times when I nearly did and I was always careful it was the right choice again turns out that wasn’t the right choice to make for me and I enjoy being single with no ties and kids and being in a relationship does that and I like to be free and do whatever I like without the hawking and the arguing etc, no remain single and be happy every day without all the stress anyway I enjoy being alone but I do admit I need some more friends to bounce off from and do random stuff and talk about random stuff that would be nice in a way but for now I’m happy making music and doing this and that online that makes me happy but love is a serious thing and shouldn’t be treated as second-hand luggage but of course choose who you fall in love with friends or other and love does include your friends even though I find it hard myself to say this words “I love you” there lol but love is here so everyone stop whining about love doesn’t love me I hate the world cos that isn’t going to get you back in motion and I like to prepare for the future.
