Last post was July 18th, I don't remember why I was falling apart with consistency (⁠・⁠–⁠・⁠;⁠)⁠ゞ This one's quite link heavy too, but for the context of it all I suggest you listen along as they appear (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠) Anyways, subject at hand, I don't know if I ever mentioned it but there is a Flash era arcade racer I grew up on called Super Drift (1-3) that featured music that has since caught up with me all these years later.  Most known for its opening theme, Super Drift features " Trust - A Eurobeat Mix " a song by Ayumi Hamasaki on Super Eurobeat's ayu-ro mix album from 2000 (which imo, is peak years of Eurobeat (⁠￣w⁠￣⁠)). Actually I wanna focus on 2 songs for a second, cuz this game features my favorite song of all time, a slightly faster mix of Evolve's " Sugar & Spice ", overall a prime example of Happy Hardcore that (per Discogs) was one of 2 songs the group made before splitting up.  I personally believe that if it weren't for t...

If I ever come back to eat those words I'll make sure to delete this one, but I HIGHLY doubt it (⁠◠⁠‿⁠◕⁠).  I've mentioned before that I CAN in fact sing (and half decently if I do say so myself :P), I just choose not to.  As to why, I believe that I have nothing important to say that hasn't already been said by an artist I draw direct influence from, and while yes you can make the argument of "you're your own person with ideas", I feel like those ideas and efforts are best expressed in my compositions rather than conventionally through words.  My idea is that this leaves the work of understanding my music up to you, meaning you have to actually process what's coming at you tonally to comprehend feeling, instead of trying to dissect wordings, similar to classical music!   (⁠・w⁠・⁠) Probably one of the best examples of a modern artist doing this is Cranes , who aside from producing also writes very stylized, variety filled albums that are designed to let the...

I've been racking my brain quite a bit in the past few days (⁠╯⁠°⁠□⁠°⁠）⁠╯⁠︵⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻, mostly because of a singular Instagram story my friend posted (which is not at all related to the situation in front of me (⁠ヘ⁠･⁠_⁠･⁠)⁠ヘ⁠┳⁠━⁠┳ ) but moreso about the song being used in it, another Trance classic, reclaimed as downtempo and slightly remixed by some modern age Brazilian DJ.  I have absolutely no issue with the latter, I think it's better that people decided to make stuff like it to spread it around to new and old fans, it's more the fact that I cannot FOR THE LIFE OF ME, TRACK DOWN THE ORIGINAL MIX ( ⁠✧⁠Д⁠✧⁠)!!! When I'm presented with songs I don't know, I will always try to go to as many lengths as physically possible to naturally hunt it down, dissecting any lyrics or physical information I can find about them, before I ever go to Shazam or similar as a last resort.  While I'm at about a 50:50 success rate in this method of searching for my favorite tunes, some...

Hello there, the app broke so all of this is written on the webpage!  Hence why it looks like this and awful! (⁠ ⁠；⁠∀⁠；⁠)   To be honest, I think I'm about done producing unless it's just for fun or for people who really want it.  In turn, I have a lot of work ahead of me, but the end goal will be eternally worth it for me. I want to quit producing modern stuff and work on reviving (to the best of my ability of course :P) classic Makina & Hardstyle music.  I've been experimenting with it for awhile since getting into it around about 2023 but haven't felt the drive for it as much as I do now, all of this is thanks to a friends tattoo artist who I really connected with over a tattoo I want even getting! As for what instilled this interest in a revival of sorts, I along with some other people have wanted to return to the roots of what made the classics so good on spiritual and community levels.  So essentially, it's like a nostalgia project, but I wanna ma...

(written originally at 2am, 3/12/25) BUT NOW FINISHED 3/15 AT THE SAME DAMN TIME (⁠ب⁠_⁠ب⁠) I've noticed the genres I write my own music for are pretty broad as it goes, seeing as how I could post a Pluggnb snippet one day and a have an entire album length backlog of drum & bass plus some hardcore (which, teehee , I do (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) ).  I have been asked by people why this is the case and to be honest, I don't actually know... I post what I like and Ive always been straight with that, I'm not gonna just make a bunch of dark plugg for some quick numbers and promo the shit out of it, in fact that's why I write and intend on releasing more hardcore & breakbeats.  You shouldn't have to pander your own creations to just one community because its the genre thats getting numbers at the time, I have been teaching myself breakbeats & hardcore in the background of plugg because: 1. Everyone expects a quality out of their work that they themselves have to meet or the pr...
