A second take of the track “The Real Flex (Sober)” 9 years clean and still finding my voice. AI-produced beats meet raw human truth about addiction, recovery, and what real strength looks like. No romanticizing, no preaching - just honest bars about the hardest thing I've ever done: learning to live defenseless.
The machines can make the music, but they can't live the story.

The Real Flex(Sober) Version 2 [Explicit]

✨ Awakening isn’t just a song—it’s a moment.
A pulse that reminds us we’re human, alive, unbroken.
This beat is for every soul who refuses to be silenced,
For everyone rising into a new world with open eyes. 🌍🔥

Give Me Your Heart, Give Me Your Soul

Give me your heart, give me your soul

Give Me Your Heart, Give Me Your Soul – Tokyo Moonlight

Toxic romance dressed in silk lies and slow jazz

Velvet Alibi

Dedicated to a one woman on this earth, she knows who she is.

Universe

Shadows of Regret

Verse 1
You thought the silence kept you safe
But secrets always find their way
The mirror shows what lies can’t hide
The weight you carry deep inside

Pre-Chorus
Now the moment’s catching up with you
Nothing left but what is true

Chorus  
You can’t escape the price you choose
Every step’s a debt you’ll lose
The past returns, the mask removed
There’s no escape from shadows of regret

Verse 2
The words you whispered fade to dust
But promises decay with rust
No comfort in the games you play
The truth is all that stays

Pre-Chorus
Now the moment’s catching up with you
Nothing left but what is true

Chorus
You can’t escape the price you choose
Every step’s a debt you’ll lose
The past returns, the mask removed
There’s no escape from shadows of regret
 
Bridge
All the doors you tried to close
Open wide, the story shows
Time won’t heal what’s been betrayed
Only truth remains

Final Chorus
You can’t escape the price you choose
Every step’s a debt you’ll lose
The past returns, the mask removed
There’s no escape from shadows of regret

Half a While

[Intro – forest ambience fading into tribal drums]


نترك الغابة ...  
ونجد الإيقاع الجديد ...  
كل طريق يقود إلى النور  
(We leave the forest / and find a new rhythm / every path leads to light)

نترك الغابة ...  
ونجد الإيقاع الجديد ...  
كل طريق يقود إلى النور  
(We leave the forest / and find a new rhythm / every path leads to light)


From the shadow to the flame,  
A new rhythm calls my name.  
Through the trees, the drums reply,  
Echoes rising to the sky.

[Swahili call]
Ngoma za kule!           (Drums beyond the trees!)  
Tunasikia wito!          (We hear the call!)  
Tunaenda mbali!          (We go far!)  

[Yoruba response]
Awa ni awọn orin ilẹ!   (We are the songs of the land!)  
Ilu wa, agbara wa!       (Our drum, our power!)  
Iwọ ni aye, awa ni orin! (You are life, we are the song!)

[Verse 1]
Feet awaken, hearts align,  
The forest ends, the stars combine.  
A thousand hands begin to beat,  
The night turns gold beneath our feet.

نترك الغابة ...  
ونجد الإيقاع الجديد ...  
كل طريق يقود إلى النور  
(We leave the forest / and find a new rhythm / every path leads to light)

[Chorus – layered chants]
Drums beyond the trees,  
Calling me to seas of sound.  
Voices dance, the world released,  
In rhythm we are found.

[Swahili call]
Ngoma za kule!           (Drums beyond the trees!)  
Tunasikia wito!          (We hear the call!)  
Tunaenda mbali!          (We go far!)  

[Yoruba response]
Awa ni awọn orin ilẹ!   (We are the songs of the land!)  
Ilu wa, agbara wa!       (Our drum, our power!)  
Iwọ ni aye, awa ni orin! (You are life, we are the song!)

[Verse 2]
Leaves to dust, dust to drum,  
Spirit whispers: *“Time has come.”*  
Every echo from the ground,  
Becomes the heartbeat all around.

نترك الغابة ...  
ونجد الإيقاع الجديد ...  
كل طريق يقود إلى النور  
(We leave the forest / and find a new rhythm / every path leads to light)

[Bridge – spoken chant]
One tribe becomes another,  
One song becomes a brother.  
The wind carries all we know,  
And tells us: “Westward, go.”

[Swahili call]
Ngoma za kule!           (Drums beyond the trees!)  
Tunasikia wito!          (We hear the call!)  
Tunaenda mbali!          (We go far!)  

[Yoruba response]
Awa ni awọn orin ilẹ!   (We are the songs of the land!)  
Ilu wa, agbara wa!       (Our drum, our power!)  
Iwọ ni aye, awa ni orin! (You are life, we are the song!)

[Final Chorus – ecstatic choir]
Drums beyond the trees,  
Fire, wind and endless peace.  
Drums beyond the trees,  
Africa calls — and we believe.

[Swahili call]
Ngoma za kule!           (Drums beyond the trees!)  
Tunasikia wito!          (We hear the call!)  
Tunaenda mbali!          (We go far!)  

[Yoruba response]
Awa ni awọn orin ilẹ!   (We are the songs of the land!)  
Ilu wa, agbara wa!       (Our drum, our power!)  
Iwọ ni aye, awa ni orin! (You are life, we are the song!)


نترك الغابة ...  
ونجد الإيقاع الجديد ...  
كل طريق يقود إلى النور  
(We leave the forest / and find a new rhythm / every path leads to light)

Run into the Night

This loop inside never ends!

I have to wait until I'm almost 60 years old to finally make these deep house tracks with my own lyrics. House music has been with me since the 80s, for more than 40 years now. And it will probably never stop: “the loop inside never ends!”

When I told my friend and business partner Dennis about this in a melancholic moment, he immediately said: “Damn it, what are you waiting for? You've built a house, planted a few trees, fathered a son, driven a few eight-cylinder cars, published books, and worked on projects around the world... now just do it.”

No sooner said than done... I knocked out three or four tracks. And then it just kept going. It was going so well.

“Tell me, Bruno, aren't you getting too old for this shit?” Maybe. Maybe not. My good old friend, the German DJ legend DJ Hildegard, has already jumped on board. More specifically, my track “History of House.” She says, “You're never too old for good music.” I think she's right. In any case, I can say with deep conviction and some experience that staid conventions have never gotten me anywhere.

And now? It flows:

“The House in me”

[Chorus]
Beat is truth.
Groove is love.
You better move.
Feelings in flow.

(from my track: "The HOUSE in me FILE.001)

This loop inside never ends!
