Dancing Tonight

Dancing Tonight (feat. Maxthor)

The anthemic second single from SENTINEL -- Second Chances blurs the synthetic division between darkwave and synthwave, highlighting our protagonist's internal struggle -- weighing the potential consequences of meddling with time, in creating a "future never meant to be."

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."

Second Chances

The voice of the neon light cuts its way through the stream of digital noise.
It is time to introduce our first single - "Wolfshifter"!
This track is the product of the collaboration with our good friend Paul Kirjenin (the leader of the band STVORE https://soundcloud.com/stvore). He performed the guitar solo, played bass and also shaped the sound of the syntheizers and drums.
The atmosphere of the track was inspired by many iconic 80's horror-movies, including "The Howling" and "An American Werewolf in London".
So hit play and prepare to be afraid, because all your nightmares are about to be transformed into one single inescapable fear!

Wolfshifter

Cyber Nightmare is my first Single!

This song is a homage, deeply inspired by the classics 80's cybernetic horror movies, you know what I'm talking about ;) 

I always wanted to create a song to show how much I love the cinema universe. I hope you like it!

Last Moon

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..."
