I have several tracks in the works, but this one has risen to the top of the pile. The lyrics reflect on pre-pandemic society, which believed it was living in a magical modern renaissance, despite being surrounded by endless scams on every imaginable product. After dark times, we didn't read the tea leaves which led to hyperinflation that affected everyone. It felt like all we could do was buy a day, especially since we were unable to purchase homes.

The tracking details for this jam include an epic Polymax bass that drives the entire track, while the vapor synth adds a nice layer on top. When I started working on the guitars, I initially envisioned a funky riff; however, it inadvertently evolved into a retro wave metal sound. Blending synth and guitar can be challenging, as it often leads to muddiness, but in this case, the guitar complements the synth, the synth pushes back, and the vocals tie everything together.

I didn't expect the track to turn out this way, but all the changes seem to flow naturally into a unique blend of retro wave and desert metal.

Tea Leaves (Bake and Shake) 

Renaissance that you’re living in 
ended up in the dust bin of history
Inflation tops all spending is not important
not discretionary 

You’re nothing song You’re nothing song 
ya bought a day 
You’re nothing song You’re nothing song 
ya bought a day 
Renaissance is so long gone 
It’s so long gone
You’re nothing song You’re renaissance 
is so long gone 

Lining up for the latest scam
Everybody lines up around the block
Shedding their wallets and letting those dollars fall
You can’t have you just can’t have it all 

You’re nothing song You’re nothing song 
ya bought a day 
You’re nothing song You’re nothing song 
ya bought a day 
renaissance is so long gone 
It’s so long gone
You’re nothing song You’re renaissance 
is so long gone 

Stuck in the muck and I must wait
Won’t tolerate no bake and shake
Giving all my lovely time away 
Cause money don’t ever grow on trees

You’re nothing song You’re nothing song 
ya bought a day 
You’re nothing song You’re nothing song 
ya bought a day 
renaissance is so long gone 
You’re renaissance is so long gone
You’re nothing song You’re nothing song 
ya bought a day 
You’re renaissance is so long gone

Recreando momentos vividos en Attica con aquella música que tanto nos hizo vibrar y sentir…

Recuerdos sonoros 1.

I was on a mini holiday when I created this beat, looking out over the lake from my hotel room. This kind of experience is rare for me, as I'm usually stuck at home. I had just finished writing my other track, "Ijadiri," and while this one has some similar elements, it's not exactly the same. I would almost describe it as yacht rock, or perhaps 80s rock, or something with a retro flavor. 

I don’t know anyone named Anjolie, but I imagine her as an angel singing or a rare beauty, complementing a night that occurs only once in a blue moon. Everyone can dream once in a while, and I’ve had experiences like that too—memories that, once formed, can inspire art. I used to shy away from this kind of writing, opting instead for a different style that often felt disingenuous. However, when I embrace these moments and dive deeply into them, I find I can tap into my most unique and authentic way of expressing myself, reminiscent of old-school techniques.

It took me a while to finish because I went through some rough weeks after the trip to the lake, but I persisted, and here it is. I hope its retro flair is enjoyed by everyone who hears it. Now, I'm ready to move on to my next project. 


All it Takes is One  

She joins me for a day off on the neon streets for a while
Catching the rays of her lockstep dancing
on the yacht 
Bright seductive smile 

All it takes is one to start a wave in the crowd
Rising up while screaming as it goes around
stereo surround 

I can hear you Anjolie. 

On my way - like a tidal ray
Watch it all - golden rings as you start to sing
On my way - like a tidal wave 
Watch in wonder her voice takes me away

The glow on the street near the dock
seems to hang around for a mile  
Light-reflecting on the barrels
as I sip the red cherry wonder wine (Cherry Wine) 

I want to know you Anjolie. 

On my way - like a tidal ray
Watch it all - golden rings as she starts to sing
On my way - like a tidal wave 
Watch in wonder her voice it takes me away

(solos) 

On my way - like a tidal ray
Watch it all - golden rings as you start to sing
On my way - like a tidal wave 
Watch in wonder her voice it takes me away

Sip the barrel of the cherry wine.

Say What? Recordings Radio Show 149 | Ramon Tapia

Rising from the underground with a signature blend of groove and drive we are very happy to welcome Turkish DJ & Producer Bedez to our Say What? family.

The title track 'Chrono Spiral' sets the pace with razor-sharp percussion, a relentless groove, and eerie modular and vocal stabs that soar through time like mechanical echoes. The track builds tension through subtle shifts and syncopated patterns, creating a sense of propulsion that perfectly captures the EP’s temporal theme.

'Groove Tides' dives deeper into rhythm, pushing rolling low-end energy under intricate hats and a warped vocal slice that ebbs and flows like a restless tide. It's a DJ tool at heart, but with enough funk and swing to catch dancers off guard – built for those marathon sets that refuse to let up.

'Mildew Funk' brings a raw texture, combining dirty synth licks with filtered chords and a pulsating bassline that oozes underground flavour. There’s a touch of mischief here — think sweaty basements, strobing lights, and hypnotic repetition layered with funk-fuelled attitude.

'Tunnel Vision' closes the EP with a sophisticated touch. A tight, evolving groove pulses through a dense tunnel of reverb and atmosphere. Mechanical textures, looped bleeps, and rolling sublayers create a trance-inducing momentum — perfect for those introspective 4 AM moments when the outside world disappears.

Enjoy
