Lyrics:

"I'm back at it again
and this time I will take you down with me.
Time has given me its will
and I will that you don't rest at all.
Keep looking over your shoulder.
You don't know I'm coming after you.
Dead men can spin no lies --
It's how I know you're running out of time.

Taking time
To change a life
Turn a crime
To save a life
Taking time
To change a life
Turn a crime
To save a life

I've got a Second Chance
I get to do do it all again
We're going to change the past,
history's end that's never been.
I've got to take this chance,
so I can do it all again.
I'm taking destiny back,
so that this hell in my mind can end.

Time draws short for us both,
so I know there's one thing left to do.
Fate has given me this oath.
Does it end with me just killing you?
I'm not promised a way back, and
if I die I'm taking you with me.
All our visions and hopes lie
in this future never meant to be."

Electronic producer d.notive has been at the forefront innovative sound design for well over a decade. Entranced by the lush and dynamic soundscapes of the 1980's, his aesthetic borrows heavily from the cinematic imagery of Neo-noir, classic alternative music, and of course synthpop.

Leveraging a rich, illustrious backdrop of classic synthesizers, his work includes countless pop songs and dance tracks, video game soundtracks, cartoon fan music, and film scores, drawing comparisons to artists like Depeche Mode, New Order, and Duran Duran.

His critically acclaimed album Sentinel has enjoyed consistent rotation thanks to synthwave outlets like NewRetroWave, with the first single "Red Light Syndrome" debuting at the #7 spot on their weekly charts. He has also been a regular collaborator with FiXT records, appearing alongside artists Cassetter, Fury Weekend, and Scandroid. Additionally, he maintains a close relationship with Funky Way Records (the official label of Funky Panda,) and Laserdiscs Records as a noted contributor to the original soundtrack for UK-based independent film "The Summoner." 

His signature vocal style even earned him a leading role in a short animation by Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss animator Vivienne "Vivziepop" Medrano.

"...d.notive’s music is all bound by an energy that is completely entrancing..."

If you're a gamer, artist, dreamer, transcendentalist, one-ear listener, or something else, I've got some loaded playlists for you. Most of my playlists contain EDM, primarily heavy bass and dubstep, but also contains experimental, future bass, classic dubstep, chillstep, melodic, hardstyle, DnB, synthwave, house, techno, trance, NRG, among many others and all things in between. My public playlists are regularly updated with new tracks. I try to have all of my liked songs at least put onto one playlist, you may even find some that show up on more than one playlist. (mostly a personal preference.)

If a playlist's description is TLDR then just refer to the hashtags for guidance.

Been listening to Dubstep since I was a kid, and it's primarily all I listen to, though you may find some R&B, Soul, Rock, or a couple of other niche genres, but if it's EDM or electronically produced you'll definitely encounter anything on here.

You'll find Dubstep from 2008, even some eurodance inspired stuff, all the way to modern releases that you'll hear at festival sets today.

I hope you enjoy

Quick note, pretty much all of my playlists you'll see will have a word in (parentheses). You can just ignore it, it helps me organize and search for my playlists much faster. I have a lot of them and some of them are privated. 💀😵‍💫
