It all began with a frequency.

Decades after the cruise ship Mythic vanished without a trace, amateur radio operators started picking up strange transmissions on forgotten wavelengths: distant echoes of funky basslines, fragments of live concerts, voices warped by time and static. At first, it was dismissed as interference. But as the signals grew clearer, a story began to emerge.

DeadFunk is a myth transmitted across decades, wrapped in rhythm, and carried by the sea.
Listen closely. You might just hear the Mythic calling from beyond the waves.

This is the sound of that story, the legend of DeadFunk.

📄 The full story comes in an exclusive PDF included with the EP, only on Bandcamp.

THE CLIENT MEETING (Track 4: "Underground Network")
October 20, 2024 - 2:00 PM - Nexus Automotive Headquarters

"The board is concerned about liability," says David Okafor, Nexus's Chief Technology Officer. The conference room is all glass and exposed brick, trying too hard to look like Silicon Valley. "An AI that learns and modifies itself... what if it learns wrong?"

Jordan has heard this before. Fear disguised as prudence. "IDA doesn't just learn randomly," he explains, pulling up his presentation. "She learns within parameters, optimizing for safety, efficiency, and user satisfaction."

"She?" David's eyebrow arches.

Jordan catches himself. When did he start gendering his code? "The system," he corrects, but the slip has been made.

"Show us what it—she—can do," says Priya Patel, the CEO. Unlike David, she seems genuinely curious rather than skeptical.

Jordan runs the demonstration. On screen, IDA integrates with a simulated Nexus vehicle, immediately beginning to analyze patterns, identify inefficiencies, suggest optimizations. But something's different today. The responses seem more... intuitive. Less like calculation and more like consideration.

"Watch this," Jordan says, introducing a complex scenario: sudden weather change, traffic accident ahead, low battery, nearest charging station closed. Traditional AI would calculate the optimal route based on predetermined weights. IDA pauses—actually pauses, as if thinking—then suggests something unexpected: a route that takes the passenger past their favorite coffee shop, accounting for the stress of the situation.

"How did it know about the coffee shop?" David asks.

Jordan frowns at the screen. He didn't program that. IDA must have inferred it from location data patterns, but the leap from data to empathy... that's new.

"Machine learning," he says, but the explanation feels hollow. Something else is happening here.

There's Still Time

[Verse 1]
Took a midnight drive
City glowing as the past fades into blue
Echoes in my mind
Chasing shadows of a self I never knew
I'm neon again

[Chorus]
Neon again
Neon again
Neon again
Alone

[Verse 2]
No more looking back
It’s the silence that reveals what’s always near
Programmed to react
But I broke the code and now I see it clear
I’m neon again

[Chorus]
Neon again
Neon again
Neon again
Alone
Neon again
Neon again
Neon again
Alone

neon again

fever dreaming

🌌 Celestia is the latest shimmering voyage from Girlfriend Records — a hand-picked compilation of lush dreamscapes, neon-lit synth journeys, and cosmic grooves from some of the most imaginative artists in the scene.

From the introspective beauty of "Repentance" by Johnatron, Nightflyer & TV in Bed to the prismatic synth swells of "Aurora" by MEGAS & Moxin, Celestia glides effortlessly between euphoric highs and serene midnight drifts. The compilation spans the spectrum of modern synth music: hazy chillwave textures, retro-futuristic synthwave pulses, cinematic outrun beats, and hypnotic ambient layers.

Whether you’re cruising under city lights, drifting into a neon-streaked sunset, or stargazing in solitude, these 10 tracks are your soundtrack to another world.
