This song is inspired by Underworld "Dark Train" and some Vangelis. It starts of on a rough track, goes on a reduced pace, to drive into the sunrise with a melodic, uplifting feelgood vibe.

Tje Sunrise Express

The Sunrise Express

This song started out as an eighties inspired synthesizer track years ago. Today I've tried to spice things up and make it more danceable.

Past the Horizon

One of the hardest things, which I hadn't thought about while creating a SoundCloud account, is putting my music into a genre. Or working genre specifically and conforming to certain song building and structures. That's not quite my thing, for those of you who appreciate that; I hope you like my song.

November 31th

The original version of "Everything" did pretty well on MySpace back in the days, but I had a computer crash and the original files were lost. This is the seventh version of the melody and I thought it would be fun to let a robot 'sing' about Auto-tune and artificial intelligence.

Don't take 'everything' too serious. 1 : D

:: Lyrics ::

Everyone, sings like a robot
Everyone is trying, but is not
Everything is in Auto-tune
Perfection lies in fine-tune

Everything will be Artificial Intelligence
Everyone do the Robot Dance

Everyone, everytime, everywhere, 
Everything will be Artificial Intelligence

Everyone, sings like a robot
Everyone is trying, but is not
Everything is in Auto-tune
Perfection lies in fine-tune
Perfection lies

Do the Robot Dance

error 404

Everything A.I. (Do the Robot Dance)

Do you know the feeling of getting something out of your system before you can move on? I've made this songs many years ago and made some adjustments, changed the mix and all. 

When writing this, I had a collaboration with a rapper in mind, but it still can turned into someones beat. Just let me know if you're interested.

But if I don't upload it now I will regret it in the future, as I got a lot more songs coming up for you all. I also really like the artwork for "Ultramarine" and don't want it to be forgotten somewhere on my harddrive.

Ultramarine

"Eventually" is another strange musical journey that found it's own way. It's been hiding on my hard drive for a long time and I really don't know what to do with it and I guess that it's finished. So I can get it out of my system. I hope you'll enjoy it.
Thanks for listening, have a great day.

Eventually

I'm fully aware that my music probably isn't mainstream or easy to specify in some sort of subgenre. I tried doing genre specific tracks, but they came out so boring. So I've came to the conclusion that I can't help myself, this is it. This is what I do. 
Thanks for listening and reading.
Have a great day! 1:D

The Unusual Hour

I got inspired by deep house, Plastikman and movie scores. I like it when songs tell a story, go somewhere or find their own musical way. 
There's a lot of room for improvement and it's okay if you want to give some feedback, I really would appriciate it. 
Thanks for listening. 
Have a great day

Interstellar

The rolling bass was inspired by Pink Floyd "Echoes" and the piano by Unkle "Piano echoes" and from there the song wrote it self. Feedback is welcome. 
Thanks for listening, I hope you enjoyed it.

Catching Rainbows

This is one of my favorite melodies and I've made up many variations on this. Usually they could not be clearly placed in a musical category. Electronic Dance Music; not to be specified.
In fact, I'm regularly advised to make more typical genre-oriented music, because listeners would like that.  And algorithms of music sites and playlists like it even more. 
I have quite a bit of danceable (and listening) music pretty much completed, but my drawing tablet broke so I can't draw new albums for a while. Since I still like to share new music with you, I decided to make a clearer genre song and reinvent and discover one of my own for that. Also I can simply adjust the original albumart for a second version.
I think the genre is Lo-Fi, but let me know if you disagree.  
As always, critiques and feedback are also welcome. :D

Journey to the Stars (Slow version)

I've tried a long time to find a singer or a rapper for demo versions of this song. And still think it could take this song to a higher level (after a few musical adjustments), let me know if you hear potential for a collaboration.  

It did gave me the oppurtunity to make an orchestral ending inspired by Vangelis, something I never did before. 

Try everything and you might surprise yourself.

Tidal Waves

The tittle is inspired by the Bikura from Dan Simmons "Hyperion" & "Endymion" book saga. A pretty weird song to make you happy and dance.

Dancing Bikura

A classic ballroom waltzing rhythm evolving in an old school house party.

Waltzing

Melodic electronic with deep warm feelings

Past the Horizon (Into the deep mix)

Inspired by the '80 melodic synthesizer songs and early '90 dance tracks by artists like Vangelis, Underworld and many more.

Monorail

This song was written for a female vocalist, but unfortunatly she declined. If you're interested in doing some vocals please contact me.
I've reworked it into an instrumental dreamy, lo-fi kind of song. Full of reverie and melancholy.

Raindrops

Bystander

Progressive house, with deep and warm feelings expressed by piano and with hints of a choir. A woman talks about her dream of getting a gentle kiss with soft whispers.

Soft Whispers

This is my entry for the @jauzofficial's "Higher For Your Love" remix competition. It's my first remix ever and I absolutely enjoyed creating it. Feel free to comment or give feedback, I really appreciate it

Higher For Your Love (daanniejel remix)

I really wanted to do a song with female vocals and found some of @Miscliqued on Looperman. One of the hardest parts was the mixing, please DM or comment your feedback and tips for improvement.

Fallin' in love (ft. Miscliqued)

Cindy Beau Cherie wrote wonderful lyrics for her song and gave me the chance to do my own version.
Check her profile (and the original song) out on https://soundcloud.com/trans-femme

Well of Tears (ft. Cindy)

I grew up listening to the "Synthesizer Greatest" albums performed by Ed Starink, for Star Inc. and it piqued my interest in finding the original artists (Vangelis, J.M. Jarre, Jan Hammer and many more). With "Telocin" being the exception as it was an original by mister Starink.
My version is not a one-on-one cover, because I can't compete with the original and it's beautiful ambience arrangements. And I don't want to either. 

Search for "Star Inc. - Telocin" to find the original version here on SoundCloud. 
"Telocin" is composed by Ed Starink © Star Inc.

This song's uploaded with the kind permission of mr. Starink. 
Thank you!

Telocin

Telocin (Ed Starink cover)

Big thanks to the talanted Nina Moody for letting me turn her vocals into a song.
The music almost wrote itself, but mixing and mastering the vocals took me a lot of time. It's a great experience and I've learned a lot. Although I'm not entirely sure if this is deep house, it was my inspiration, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

I love doing collabs and remixen, DM me if you're interested. 
There's a lot more new music coming up in various genres.

Warmer Than Your Arms (ft. Nina Moody)

With every song I learn a lot and I think the evolution in my (online) music is very clear. You're feedback and comments are welcome.
In this song I didn't want to go nuts with melodies, instruments and creating a wall of sound. To create a simple popsong. I like to try different things and if my music interests you in doing a collab please DM me.

I found this sample from 0Equinox0 on Looperman. 
Check out his SoundCloud profile on https://soundcloud.com/equinox-19

By Your Side (ft. Equinox)

I've reworked some old demo's into more LoFi sounding songs and am planning to upload an EP over time. To get the songs finally out of my system. Feedback, comments and critics are always welcome in comments and messages.

Going Nowhere

Once upon a time, long ago, I wrote a song called "Butterfly Lullaby". It was a sweet and lovely song that people liked a lot. Then an evil computer crash killed the original material and hid the song in a cocoon on my harddrive. 
Many moons ago I rediscovered it by excident and started to recreate the original song. But in this proces something magical happened, as evolution had kicked in on my songwriting, this magical butterfly appeared. 

Butterfly Lullaby

Another LoFi inspired song as a soundtrack if you're going to work, study, sleep, live and love.

For those who don't like the downtempo songs, my next upload willl probably be another genre, have a great day

Exit Sign

I was trying to figure out the chords of Aphex Twin "Rhubarb" when I noticed a similarity in chords with an acapella of eSoreni that I was working on a few days earlier. A mash-up didn't work and neither did a dance version. When I added a slower beat some time later, this song started to take work. I've tried a lot of different drums, loops and other beats, but always came back to the first version. Recognisable?
Yet again I'm not sure about the genre of this song (you're suggestions are more than welcome!), because I find it hard to work genre specific. 
I hope you like it

I close my eyes (ft. eSoreni)

'Hoteldebotel' is freely translated from Dutch; head over heals/ confused thoughts while being in love. It has nothing to do with hotels or botels, it's a fun title.
It's also one of the last downtempo songs for this upcoming EP, so fans of my uptempo music; you're time will come!
Have a great day

Hotel de Botel

I have so many different versions of this song, mostly uptempo dance, and there still isn't a definitive one. I think the perfect one should have vocals and if you're interested or inspired to sing some lines on it; please DM me. Feedback and critics are welcome, there's always room to improve.
Have a lovely day and thanks for listening. 

Evol Lounge

I love drawing comics and illustrations, making paintings and animations, but my real passion is music.  Inspired by the seventies and eighties synthesizers that evolved into the nineties house. Now I try to do my own take on dance, progressive house and LoFi inspired lounge.

Try everything and surprise yourself 1 : D
