While exploring a friend’s son’s music, I stumbled upon "Yin & Yang" by KHAOZ & Kxngly. The track had raw potential, but it felt like a blank canvas waiting for more color. Inspired by their vision, I created this remix to highlight the song’s uniqueness and bring it to its full potential. This is my contribution to the collaborative music production space and a nod to the incredible groundwork laid by KHAOZ & Kxngly.

KHAOZ & Kxngly’s - Yin & Yang (REMIX)

Through the Eyes of a Bird is an experimental indie duet that blends two contrasting voices — a warm, vulnerable male memory and an airy, ethereal female presence — into a single story of perspective, love, and loss. Built on clean electric guitar with dreamy delay, subtle bass, and airy textures, the song feels intimate and cinematic, raw yet expansive.

It opens with a spoken admission of reluctance, then unfolds like an old reel of film, revisiting a fractured relationship “through the eyes of a bird.” Each verse rises higher — from the heaviness of the ground, to the clarity of the sky, to the unreachable silence beyond — until memory and reality meet in harmony. The 8mm flicker that bookends the track frames it as a memory played back: imperfect, fragile, but deeply human.

At its heart, this song is about what remains when love slips into memory — the ache of absence, the hope of renewal, and the truth that some hearts will always fly together, even when they are apart.

Song: 
Further Away From You is an experimental indie pop ballad with a retro, haunting vibe. Built on hazy analog textures, vintage organ, tape-warped guitar, and mellow bass, the music drifts like fog over a nighttime lake — dreamlike, cinematic, and deeply intimate.

The lyrics unfold two stories in one song:

The outer voice — a heartbroken narrator frozen in the cold silence of lost love. They imagine calling, returning home, and feel trapped in yesterday’s echoes. This layer speaks to the universal ache of absence and longing.

The inner voice — revealed through whispered parentheticals, is the darker spiral of suicidal thoughts. These fragmented intrusions escalate: from haunting panic (“It’s bang bang time”), to crushing despair (“I’m so weak”), to destructive impulses (“Lipstick and lead medicine”), culminating in resignation (“I’m dying to get away from you”).

Together, these voices create a deeply affecting portrait of grief, where heartbreak and suicidal ideation blur. The result is hauntingly beautiful — a confession, a ghost story, and an emotional echo that lingers long after the final note fades.

Further Away From You (Bonus Track)

Trimestris (The Seasons of Our Love)
A cinematic minimalist piece blending solo cello and lo-fi pained vocals, recorded raw in a single room with one omnidirectional microphone. The song moves through three emotional and sonic “seasons” — September, October, and November — exploring love, distance, and the quiet cycle of change.

“Trimestris” comes from the Latin word for three months or a quarter of a year, reflecting the passage of time and the impermanence of everything we hold close. The cello breathes heavy and slow, while whispered words drift like fading leaves — intimate, imperfect, and deeply human.

Recorded live, imperfectly beautiful.

“Complaint Number 35”

(I was locked out of my SoundCloud Account 08/24/2025 - 10/09/2025)

This song was born from raw frustration and defiance. I had to make it because artists like me—DJ Oracle—often feel powerless, stuck beneath giant music distribution platforms that prioritize profit over the creators themselves. Despite uploading my work with hope, SoundCloud—a cornerstone for so many emerging artists—failed to respond to not one, but 34 complaints, earning a notorious D- rating from the Better Business Bureau. That shock and betrayal is what fueled this anthem.

Right now (08/24/2025), I’m completely locked out of my account. The site instructs me to “reset my password,” but the process loops endlessly. I’ve run out of the “backup codes” SoundCloud once provided. As a result, I’m 100% locked out of my catalog — 110 songs and the fans I worked so hard to build. This song is my way of reclaiming power when the system silences artists.

Every lyric reflects that tension:

Verses expose the cold reality of ghosted artists and an institution that grades trust while abandoning creators.

Pre-choruses climb with righteous anger—“Boom, Boom, I’m going to rock this fucking room”—as I reclaim power.

Choruses and the bridge become stadium-sized chants, turning protest into a communal roar, demanding recognition and refusing to be silenced.

This is more than a song—it’s a rallying cry. It’s about taking back the mic when the system tries to mute us.

Artist vs. Distribution Platforms

Artists are often left with little control. Distribution companies like SoundCloud lock us behind policies—or silence us altogether. Even though they promise “tools” and “connectivity,” the truth is: when complaints pile up, we lose visibility, engagement, and trust. That imbalance is at the heart of this track—because without true access to artists, those platforms collapse into empty promises.

SoundCloud Today: Valuation & Revenue

Even while treating artists like ghost stories, SoundCloud is financially far from broke:

In 2023, SoundCloud generated approximately €288 million in annual revenue — around US $310 million — a year-over-year increase of 7–9%.

For the first time in its history, SoundCloud achieved a positive EBITDA of about €2 million in 2023.

Its valuation has climbed steadily, reaching over US $1 billion in 2023.

So yes—they can be profitable and command massive value—yet still leave artists in the silence. That contrast is exactly what “Complaint Number 35” calls out.

“Distilled Dreams” is raw, defiant, and unflinching — a collision of London punk-funk grooves and retro synth edges wrapped around spoken-word confessions and shouted anthems. The song swings between bold verses, jagged guitars, groovy basslines, and urgent chant hooks, creating a danceable yet dark atmosphere.

It’s a track about emptiness, honesty, and the hunger to be more — perfectly pure, and painfully real. With sharp dynamics and a relentless rhythm, “Distilled Dreams” thrives in the underground but belongs on festival stages.

“Mother Fucking PEP Boys” is a raw indie punk-rock playboy-power anthem — loud, sweaty, and rebellious. It’s a swagger-fueled shout from the stage, celebrating the reckless charm of every pretty face, electric hand, and leather-clad playboy tearing up the night.
Distorted guitars, gang chants, and riot-rock energy collide in this gritty, live-festival banger.

Backstory:
Four of my high school friends were playing Baldur’s Gate 3 online when one of their spouses yelled in the background, “MOTHER FUCKING PEP BOYS!” — because her vehicle wasn’t ready on time.
That moment triggered a vivid image in my head: “Norm” pushing back from his computer chair as a roadie walks across the living room, hands him a guitar, and he launches into a full-on indie rock performance.
That intrusive thought became a song… and now “MOTHER FUCKING PEP BOYS!” is immortalized on our Discord soundboard.

Turn it up. Break the rules. Be a pep playboy.

“The Long Goodbye” is a cinematic, haunting tribute to the moments between duty and release — the last heartbeat between chaos and peace.
It fuses Industrial Psychedelic Lo-Fi Pop with Indie Bedroom Synth to tell the story of a soldier’s final moments on the battlefield.

The song opens with a cry for a medic — not just a call for help, but an echo of every soldier who’s ever faced the weight of war. It’s about the stillness that follows the noise, the quiet mercy of the river, and the peace found in the long goodbye.

Written and by DJ Oracle, this song draws deeply from his 30 years of service in the U.S. Army. It’s not just about death — it’s about brotherhood, memory, and the courage it takes to let go.

“I’ve buried friends in the earth, folded so neat.”
This line carries the soul of those we lost and the honor of those who remain.

For every soldier who stood their ground, every medic who answered the call, and every friend who didn’t make it home — this song is for you.

“Rebel Chorus” is pure defiance — a rally cry for every voice that’s ever been told to quiet down.
It’s Experimental Indie Bedroom Rock Pop built from distortion, sweat, and freedom — where the walls shake and the lyrics bite back.

This track sits at the heart of the A Wall of Light album — a moment of uprising between darkness and awakening.
It’s what happens when a thousand unheard people start singing the same truth.
There’s no autotune, no polish — just grit, guitars, and the pulse of rebellion.

“We won’t obey.”
“Tear it down. Take it down. We’re building something new.”

It’s the sound of resistance becoming harmony.
It’s a revolution set to a beat — and everyone’s invited to sing.

“City of Echoes” is the quiet panic of modern life — where every voice fades into static and every message gets lost in the noise.
It’s Experimental Psychedelic Bedroom Pop at its most haunting: soft synths, echoing guitars, and a voice that sounds like it’s calling from across a city at night.

The song belongs to the album A Wall of Light — a meditation on shadow, silence, and survival.
“City of Echoes” captures the loneliness that hides beneath connection, the heartbreak of being seen by everyone but known by no one.

“Can you hear me? I want to hear from you.”

“Falling Through The Ice” is the sound of surrender — a fragile, acoustic meditation on fear, loss, and the hope that lives beneath it all.
Recorded with just a single microphone, a guitar, and the sound of breath between words, this song captures the moment when everything breaks — and what still shines through.

From the album A Wall of Light, it stands as the emotional low point and spiritual rebirth:
the sound of drowning that somehow feels like healing.

“Careful where you stand… all my cracks are in your hands.”

Falling Through The Ice

DJ Oracle | Multi-Genre Music Producer, Songwriter & Festival DJ

If you hear it, I wrote it

My Focus:
Industry says: “Focus on one genre to build a fanbase.”
I say: “I’ll master them all.”

My writing isn't meant to be confined to one playlist category. Every moment is a mood, every lyric is a poem, and every song tells a story. I refuse to limit myself. Writing music across genres isn’t just a skill—it’s my passion. I have no desire to change who I am to meet industry expectations.

Genre = Mood
Lyrics = Poems
Music = Story

Where Am I Today?
I can write in any genre, any language, and on any topic. I have access to any instrument and can create with any vocal style—male or female. But at my core, I am a writer, not an entertainer.
I feel timid stepping in front of a microphone—exposing myself vocally is still a challenge. There are skills to master and fears to overcome before I record my own voice or perform live. But I am comfortable behind the DJ decks.

Where Am I Going?
As I navigate my place in the music industry, my goal is to split my music into three primary genres and sign with labels that align with each sound:

EDM – #SpinninRecords, #Monstercat, #UltraRecords
South Florida Country Pop – #BigMachineRecords, #CurbRecords
Everything Else – TBD

Next Steps for Me:
✔ Write daily and publish new music weekly
✔ Finish EDM albums: #IWantToDestroyYou and #AlicesSonicJourney
✔ Intern with an established DJ – @PhilHarrisMusic
✔ Start publishing behind-the-scenes content
✔ License a song or album to a record label or collaborate with an artist to expose my music and make money

I know social media is necessary, but it’s far outside my comfort zone. Sharing the creative process, the "sauce" behind the songs, feels vulnerable. But I also know that if I want my music to be heard, I need to open that door—even if it’s uncomfortable.

This is my journey. Let’s see where it leads.
