Jay Smoke House 19 (September 2013)

Jay Smoke Techno Prisoners

A banging House and Techno mix from October 2013

Jay Smoke House And Techno 21 October 2013

I first wrote and demo’d this song in 2012.  A year later, I recorded an updated version with some new lyrics and a bit more effort into the audio quality. I then got a bit distracted with moving house and raising a couple of young kids.

A decade later, I finally got around to finishing the mix.  Like I said, I was distracted.

There’s more half finished songs still sitting around on my hard drives, and who knows maybe I’ll be back soon to share them with you.

On the other hand, I might disappear for another 10 years. It happens.

Anyway, this is “Turn The Tide” - the 2013/2023 version.

Written, performed, recorded and produced by me, in collaboration with a decade-younger version of me.

"Holographic Love" Fedra & Kanyika Feat. Lek13

Vocal based, dreamy pop..

Lyrics:
i'll give you more and more,
then we realise love is all,
time, in time the break will mend,
but it's hard to lose a friend,

knowing we're the same as we are,
wanting us to stay as we are,
knowing it's too late,
to say cause it's too soon,

to give you more and more,
then I realise love is all,
time, time will let me know,
it's hard to let you go,
when everything I see or do,
is beautiful with you,

time, in time the break will mend,
but it's hard to lose a friend,

knowing we're the same as we are,
wanting us to stay as we are,
knowing it's too late,
to say cause it's too soon,



Too Late, Too Soon

She's playing with the need to find herself and she,
Doesn't know what she wants herself to be,
Looks around for someone else,
And now your looking for an out again,

Education plays your social class,
But I know she just needs one thing to get her back on her feet

She waits for him,
For comfort and need and the hope of altered reality,
You will control yourself,
For something's in need of the hope of altered reality

Tea for me, 
I need this hope for now

She's looking in between and above herself and she's,
Learning how to love herself and she,
Looks around there's no one else,
And now your playing on your own again

Situation has you dancing for the chance,
And I know you just need one thing to get you back on your feet

She waits there for him,
For comfort and need and the hope of altered reality,
You will control yourself,
For something's in need of the hope of altered reality

Tea for me, 
I need this hope for now,
There's one thing you need,
To get you back on your feet

She waits there for him,
For comfort and need and the hope of altered reality,
You will control yourself,
for something's in need of the hope of altered reality x 2

Alt Reality

Unsigned, Songwriter, musician, singer, producer from Margate, Kent.
Here's my bio:

Rob Lloyd was a member of London punk trio Betamax for a few years.
During his time in Betamax they had many highs, being signed to HTT Records, releasing 5 singles & an E.P and playing some great gigs including supporting Graham Coxon on his UK A+E tour.
After coming to a creative block in Betamax, he decided to take some time out and concentrate on solo work. 
It was slow moving at first trying to find creative energies on his own, but after experimenting with different sounds in his home studio, he would find his creative flow and new songs started to emerge.
Soon after, the first solo release was ready and in 2013 he would release "She's in Love".
After a few reviews, some local airplay and "She's in Love" reaching number 4 in the MRU Music Charts, things started to progress.
Not long after this U.S label Oreya Records approached with the offer of a handshake publishing deal. In September 11th 2013 they released "My Friend & Me" as a general single release.
In July 22nd 2014, Oreya Records released "Two Axons" which would be the first official album under the name BetaRob.
The album was well received making it in to the ITunes official album chart peaking at number 24. As well as getting extensive airplay in Europe & America, a few of the tracks also received some good reviews (which can be found below).
Since then to keep the momentum going, in 2015 Rob Lloyd has gone on to release "Like a Machine" & "Too Late, Too Soon" (reviewed by BBC Introducing's Sam Bonham below) as free downloads which can be found on his SoundCloud page.


"The music I am is currently exploring is a little different from my punk roots and while I miss the creativity of working with others, I'm also very much enjoying the creative freedom that comes from working alone, leading to different and varied sounds.
I hope to keep this momentum going and build on the positive reaction I've received for my solo work so far."
