26/05/2023 - New Single; Love Isn't A Thing

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.  

Music News – New EP; Just Another Day

23/05/2023 - New EP; Just Another Day

Getting ready for the summer with a 4 track House EP called Just Another Day as at the moment my life is quite boring and not have much activity apart from doing the music and making various stuff which I have put all on this site. I’ve said this a few times but life in the 90s and 00s was a lot more fun and there were a lot of things to join and do, now with all the funding cutting and the multiple disasters including the terrorist attacks life has changed quite a lot but we seem to go back and forth at the moment with stances and various of groups joining and declaring themselves x, y, z but hey that’s a different story. As always I don’t know what I’m doing this summer I want to get out more and I haven’t got a dog and so I barely get out, to be honest, I went out the other day and it wasn’t that long of a journey around 20 minutes on foot but walking up the hill on the way back I was so tired but I was glad when I got back. It reminds me of the days I used to go on two to five hours walks sometimes all night I once walked from Bristol my home town to Wales and they had Welsh signs and that night was a long one and my feet were hurting like crazy and I woke up with my back of my legs feeling numb I wasn’t on anything lol but I love walking in the night time when it’s quiet and it gets the dog out and I used to enjoy walking but now not so much but I will one day.  But yes who knows what I’ll do this summer I’ll definitely be making more summery tracks like House, Chillout and other summer tracks I might even do some reggae but definitely some more Jungle/Drum and Bass as I seem to make a lot of that and that all can be found on my Beatport page I’ll post the link below the player where it always is. Thanks to the people who are buying and streaming the tracks on a variety of platforms,  I’ve nearly earned £11.00 and have been getting quite a lot of streams on YouTube Music I hope you like the tracks and thanks for your support it means a lot to me since I am a one band man and do my own fancy moves. I will be making more synthy stuff as well but don’t know when though who knows.

Music News – New EP Release; 6 Pack Remixes I

15/03/2023 - New EP; 6 Pack Remixes I

Another House mini-album of remixes from some of the songs I made that was House, Jungle/Drum & Bass and synthy stuff. I wasn’t going to release it but I liked the tracks and thought why not so here they are. I do like making remixes and will be doing more remixes in the future as I have lots of files of my songs I can re-edit which is what I like to do. I was going to do another Remix This which is songs of other artists which I remix but I felt like remixing my own as I said I have lots of files I can open up and edit and most of the tracks have been released already at some point but I swapped artist’s name so they aren’t on the internet no more but I am putting up the best ones at some point. I also want to start making singles with the original track remix and two or one other song on there which I will be doing real soon as that is something I enjoy doing and means I can do more tracks which is why I don’t really do albums no more and like EPs and singles as it’s more quicker to do then the albums which take some time to do but to be honest not that much time only a couple days at the max. I called it 6 pack remixes as there are six tracks nothing much to it really but I want to make songs more on steroids but it does take more time to make outstanding tracks but I like them to be honest. Some of the original tracks can be found on my Bandcamp page and can be downloaded for free but I went for the ones I liked not the ones I rereleased so they are random really. I remember the days I was fit and had a six-pack and always was toned I mean I’m not fat just a bit flabby and I was a gymnast at some point when I was younger but now I’m a smoker and sit at home all day on my computer which isn’t good for the heart but I do walk quick so when I walk they say it’s more of a slow jog but it get’s me there more quicker . 

Music News – New EP Release; All Said & Done

09/03/2023 - New EP; All Said And Done

A House EP or it’s more like a single as there are three tracks. It’s Tech House, House with a bit of Deep House which is the last track on the single. I didn’t really intend to do a single and it was going to be an EP but I couldn’t be bothered to do the last track, I should start making more singles but with more remixes and the original track as I enjoy making remixes with the original track which I’ve done a few times now. I haven’t made Tech House for while now and the last track was in 2017 when I started making music again as I was making music in the mid-2000s but in 2017 I bought FL Studio and a sample pack which is all that I had at the start now I have lots of stuff like synth plugins, drums, and also stuff to improve the sound like EQ filters and hardware filters to scope the sound. I like to buy synth plugins and other plugins and even though they are quite expensive it’s always worth it just as long as they don’t break down also updating them takes some time which is why I don’t really update them that much. When it’s all said and done it’s all down to you or though it’s cool to rely on people I think only you can look after yourself and it’s important to rely on yourself and most importantly keep yourself happy and focused only you can do that and relying on people to keep you happy shouldn’t always be done but spending time by yourself and doing what you want to do should always be put first but having people around is important even though I don’t really need no one as I’m in my own world doing creative stuff and keeping busy with stuff I enjoy doing which is a lot of things actual but all creative stuff. 

Music News – New EP Release; Raver’s Anonymous

07/03/2023 - New EP Release; Raver's Anonymous

An Acid House EP with one Acid House with Break music track which is the first track on the EP. I was lucky as I noticed on all the junk I bought or all the junk I use IE synths I noticed I had the TB-303 plugin which is the Acid Line plugin and the hardware is made by the music company Roland for those who didn’t know or don’t know what the TB-303 is but to sum it up it makes acid house music and was the chosen instrument for people who made House music and also Techno in the late 80’s to the mid-90s where by around 1995 music had moved and changed again into more soulful stuff or it was around me. Out of the 80s and 90s, I do prefer 80s Acid House and I like the fact they only used it in parts, not in the whole song like most 90s Acid House where people just wanted to hear the B line with the drums and vocals over it but they would do with just the instrumental as people loved to hear the new sound or new at the time sound the sound of the TB-303. It is a shame the illegal raves circuit is no more and is now illegal to have a rave say on a field, for example, I would love for it to still be around as I would be out a lot more but ah that’s life or is it Bistro. The closet I got to a field rave was what I would call the hometown Glastonbury Festival but it still brought in some big DJs and names as this is Bristol you never know what’s happening but it’s been quiet for me for over a decade now I need to get out more and live a little it’s boring being stuck in doors all day.

Music News – New EP Release; Sucker Game

20/01/2023 - New EP Release; Sucker Game

A UK Funky and House EP which is all vocal. I haven’t made much UK Funky or House for a while as I’ve been making Drum and Bas/Jungle which has been getting me the plays that I want on Spotify, Soundcloud etc but I do enjoy making House and UK Funky even though I more used to making House it was good to try and make something new as I’ve done an album and a couple of tracks that I was and wasn’t happy with. I called it Sucker Game as I see a lot of suckers in the mist and I also feel some people are being drawn into stuff that has no meaningful explanations or exact answers apart from the obvious which is all debatable but not exactly stuff within our control so therefor is not worth stressing about but worth debating face to face as an open discussion and your thoughts on it instead of being in this fear-mongering society we live in. This doesn’t mean to be ignorant of the situation but don’t be suckered into the fear and go or say something stupid or something that could land you in hot water. I think the world is getting a bit dare I say it dunce and people are willing to believe anything but not believe the smaller things in life also due to the rise of clout and fame it’s harder to tell your story without being judged, crossed examined or be called a liar which okay I can take being crossed examined and in a way called a liar I have nothing to lie or hide but I know they do but I do think people need to slow down with the look at me I trying to breathe over here lol!

Music News – New EP Release; Phone Calls Of The Past

26/12/2022 - New EP Release; Phone Calls Of The Past

More Jungle and Drum & Bass for you. I named it Phone Calls From The Past as I believe in leaving the past in the past along with all the baggage including frenemies in the past. It’s sort of like an old phone you don’t use anymore or a person you don’t wish to speak to and not picking up on them. It’s important to make mistakes my worse mistake is taking so much crap from some micro-aggressive people who run around for fish sticks and clout I mean wtf man, but anyway moving on. I always say you should only forgive for so long I mean I person can make that same foul mistake and believe me it has to be foul before you say enough is enough I now admit being too nice isn’t the way forward but you still have to be nice and forgiving in some degree but it depends on what they did. Also, the EP is about the good times of the past some more of that as well it’s sort of like having a funny conversation over the phone that makes you laugh. It’s also about leaving the past in the past and moving forward with your life with or without the people you once cared for which is a hard decision and not one I take lightly. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter where you are now only you can move forward and advance to where you want to be in life but the phone calls are our memories and what we hold dear. Also knowing when to put down the phone and to be strong enough to walk away at the best point before it gets sour but hey that’s relationships for you but we all need one.

Music News – New Single Release; Elephant Bounce

22/12/2022 - New Single Release; Elephant Bounce

A mixed genre single from House, Jungle and a bit of synthy stuff with sounds I recorded whilst I was out and about at a playground with old playground equipment which I did a little blog post about it on my old site but I might repost again and use all the stuff I got to like the photos and videos if I still have them.  I recorded the original version a couple of years before and was on my Haunted Playground EP which I made for Halloween a couple of years before. It’s not new and I made a version while I was doing a bit of work experience with the school and I recorded a version I think it was at the zoo or at a place called the Fire Station I can’t remember now. Some of the  poor elephants come from the circus and other places kept as a pet and the same with the tigers where I learned that at Isle Of Wight Zoo something I am against and not the circus but animals like wild animals like elephants and tigers they shouldn’t be kept as an entertainment property it’s sad and not worth going to see for me as I don’t want to be the next person to see a stunt go horribly wrong and that’s putting it lightly.  I do wish to see it banned and like to shout out all the states and countries that have banned wild animals for entertainment kudos to you. I have made a visual for one of the songs on this single and that can be found on my YouTube channel if you are interested the link is on the top of the screen above the menu. where you can go straight to my channel it’s called Elephant Bounce also and I think it’s all the songs in one plus the visual I made for it all for the elephants.

25/11/2022 - New EP Release; Courtesy Of The Memories

A Drum and Bass and Jungle EP for you seems to be popular on my channels so I made another one and will make some more in the summer when it’s rave music mainly with some synth stuff or at least that’s the plan. I have a lot of good memories and also loads of good nights out and this EP is around the good times missing all that sorrow for another time. Also, I’ve made got some top tips and real love from people at the Fire Station (shout out to them) it’s a place in Bristol for up-and-coming and current artists, DJs and promoters in the 90s it’s not there no more but this EP is and means courtesy of the time making music there and getting away as a child and youth and being around GOOD people. The EP is mainly clubby and danceable there was a slight hiccup on one of the tracks called Wormz but I will be sorting that out and renaming and reposting on Spotify etc in the further. I won’t go into my memories as I did a whole blog post about my past which can be found in the interactive section on my other site randomgas.com where it’s all my other than music stuff as I make stuff on my computers like visuals and stuff but it’s not that about that it’s all about making memories and new ones and keep adding onto that as we don’t live forever and it’s better than sitting at home crying about nothing when there are things out there to get involved with. I myself have to go out and do more stuff as I am not satisfied no more at sitting at home no more I want more from life guess I need to suck up my fears and get on with it also good luck to you too.

3/06/2022 - New EP Release; Mind Situations

A House and UK Funky EP again for the summer and is a little different to what I usually make but I’ve made it in the past and wanted to make more but make it better than the last time as I wasn’t happy with the outcome of the album I made before. I used to work in the UK Funky field what as that is yet to be decided but shout out to Supa D for giving me the part but it was a whole lot of walking around and promoting also music-making but I went all over the UK outside clubs and bars and field research and that was fun and a right laugh but was tiring, it paid well though and opened so many doors for me it was untrue. I saw on the internet that UK Funky isn’t dead and I haven’t heard that much in more recent years and that’s good to see that it hasn’t died but I miss going out raving it was one of my favourites to rave to or to go out on a night out whatever and wherever that was. UK Funky is just one of my favourite genres and is hard to put it in numbers from best but House and Jungle is also my favourite which is why I also make a lot of that it all stems from the rave scene I have always been a part of and started from an early age, while I’m there shout out to all the old ravers, promoters DJs and anyone else its kind of weird as when the rave scene went quiet around 1992 I forgot all about it and went back to the normal life which was good as I was just a kid but I’m been dipping in and out throughout the years.
