A song for you and your bf (bird friend)

My morning is your night,
You're in a different place,
I'm on the other side
of something I can't break.

You're always on my mind,
so if you find this tape,
just know that I can wait.
(I can wait)

It's unbelievable,
how much your heart can take.
You're indestructible,
but if it starts to break,

You're always on my mind,
so if you find this tape,
just know that I can wait
(I can wait)

My morning is your night

I'm on the other side

It's unbelievable,
how much your heart can take.
You're indestructible,
but if it starts to break,

You're always on my mind,
so if you find this tape,
just know that I can wait

You're always on my mind,
so if you find this tape,
just know that I can wait

(I can wait)

There's something I can't say, 
I'm running out of space,
but still you're on my mind,
and I still got this tape,

So, baby, I will stay,
I'll keep your secret safe,
and love you every day,
just know that I will wait.

To celebrate 20k followers on SoundCloud, I'm putting out this bubblegum pop version of Blushy ahead of the rest of the EP tomorrow.

I made this beat a few years ago when PC Music was starting to get really popular and at one point tried to pitch it to them... In fact, in Shawn Wasabi's "Marble Soda," this beat was sampled and credited as "ABSRDST - Brights" after I played it for him in an Uber in San Francisco. I was happy to find out that the Blushy vocal fit pretty well over it so I decided to finish it up and release it as my own official remix.

I hope you guys enjoy Blushy (Ringtone Version)... I've wanted to put this track out for a long long time so I'm pretty stoked to finally share it with yall :v

I’d never heard of Cube Panda before this remix but he caught my attention immediately, and checking out his soundcloud I was pleasantly surprised to find that he was in on the joke: this remix is just as shameless as the original. 

Borrowing every cliche from the futurebass handbook, Cube Panda is the Slushii to my Chainsmokers, but that’s not his typical sound. Listening to Cube Panda’s soundcloud, he reminds me of myself when I was starting out. Soulful renditions of every kind of music that inspires him; EDM, chiptune, hiphop, vaporwave, brostep, trap, electro, and now futurebass. Sometimes finding your identity takes trying on a lot of different outfits, but I have no doubt that this dude is on to something. He has the marks of a great soundcloud producer; lots of chiptune influence, not alot of plays, a hell of a lot of comments. Slept. On. Keep him on your radar.

I first heard about this guy last fall when Simon played one of his tunes during the Jack NY 2016 pre-party, and I’ve paid close attention ever since.

Shagia is about as strange as they come, super experimental and wonky. His rendition of Blushy is the most revealing of one of the lyrics… Being on the other side can really hurt. 

The vocals are pitched down to a crawl. Sad, Tekken 2 esque piano melodies reverberate in the distance. Shimmering pads swirl with dissonance and confusion. There’s so much buried in the murky production, and people willing to explore this tune will find rewards in abundance. This is the official Depression Version of the song for me, and it’s definitely a standout.

I’ve known Ricco Harver since back in the day when I wrote gay fanfiction for Cartoon Network shows. Including him in this comp felt great because this release was really meant to recapture the innocent side of gay romance that I always wanted to show in my writing back then.

Ricco Harver’s rendition of Blushy is absolutely gnarly. Creative sound design, razor-sharp vocal chops, heartrending leads and heavy drops make this one read like an undiscovered Skrillex tune. I think alot of people remember Skrillex for his drops, but I remember him for his tearjerker melodies, and I think Ricco has a similar talent in that regard. That’s about the highest complement I can give to a producer.

Colin’s been a friend of mine since college, and he’s been a supporter for years. He helped me book my first gigs and taught me how to use CDJs… he also invited me to his wedding earlier this year.

Colin’s a really underrated producer in my opinion and I really liked his sweet, radio-friendly house take on the song. This remix feels like a quiet breeze coming off the ocean or something. Very fresh, clean and tasteful.

Hop Box is my friend and has been for a while, and I thought that his version of the song captured a quiet sadness that I didn’t tap into with the original. This song is so much about the passing of seasons and letting people go, and the rapidly changing instruments he used in the drop reminded me of the times changing or different scenes in a movie….

It sounds like it was built for a sad anime AMV and the chords were so melancholy and bittersweet... I actually think he captured the meaning of the song better than I did, so I wanted to make sure as many people heard it as possible.
