Moroccan Dances - I High Atlas the Majestic (World Premiere)

As the leaves fall and the evenings grow quiet, I Left My Shadow brings a sense of bittersweet calm. This lofi chillhop beat, crafted in collaboration with the brilliant Quicknap, captures that feeling of walking away from something — or someone — and leaving a part of yourself behind.

Soft percussion, faded chords, and textured atmosphere all melt together into a track that feels like an autumn evening wrapped in headphones.

🍁 Feel: reflective, calm, nostalgic, slightly melancholic
🎧 Perfect for journaling, walking through golden leaves, or staring out the window in thought.

💬 Let us know: what did you leave behind this season?

I Left My Shadow

Website

Dallar Sunstar ft Quicknap - I Left My Shadow (Mr Silky's LoFi Beats)

120 BPM of pure energy.
This track blends the raw soul of old-school funk with the punch and clarity of modern dancefloor production. Driving bass, tight funky guitars, an electric piano, sharp drums, a grooving sax, and female vocals that channel the golden age of funk — everything is here to make you move.

It’s not just funk. It’s not just EDM.
It’s a statement: get down, dance hard, and remember who you are.

Mixed in Cubase, mastered with Ozone 11, this song stands at the crossroad between classic groove and club-ready sound. For fans of Jamiroquai, Chromeo, Daft Punk, and anyone who loves music that makes the body and the soul vibrate.

LYRICS:

May the sun shine for you on each step of the way 
May flowers blossom at your feet every day 
May the breeze sing to you the words you need to hear
And may it guide you gently when the path is  unclear

May your mind stay open, may your dreams never die 
May they nourish the love that you’re holding inside 
And when shadows grow long when the skies turn gray 
May love be the lantern that lightens your way 

So walk on, through the wind, walk on through the rain 
Walk on, walk on my son, I’ll always be there

This world we live in is shattered and bruised 
You can’t ignore the pain if you don’t want to lose 
The warmth of your soul and the light in your eyes
Your love for your brethren is what will make you thrive

So walk on, through the wind, walk on through the rain 
Walk on, walk on my son and choose your own way

"Alchemy of Life" is a tribute to Maria Skłodowska-Curie, who was one of the few people in the world to win two Nobel Prizes in two different fields: physics and chemistry. The piece captures the extraordinary passion and determination of this scientist, who was unafraid to face dangers in the name of progress. It reminds us that every step in science, although it can lead to great discoveries, carries risks, even mortal ones. Despite this, Maria Skłodowska-Curie constantly strived to expand the frontiers of knowledge, aware of the dangers her research posed. The piece highlights both her genius and her courage and dedication to science. It reminds us that science, while fraught with challenges, is also a passion that drives humanity forward. It is a tribute to her legacy, which continues to inspire future generations of scientists.

Rome

Low Tech

This track is about Doris, a very close companion of mine who was in hospital from a virus which attacked her lungs.
She was receiving oxygen, antibiotics, nebulizer and steroids the whole time she as there and had difficulty breathing.
I prayed through deep breathing exercises at home so she would recover from this and after 3, 4 days she showed signs of improvement. After one week in hospital she was recovering, but still had a bit to go.
Now a week out of the hospital, she is doing very well, quit smoking and can walk normally now thanks to hospital staff and prayer.
This song has positive uplifting melodies throughout and creates a mood of wellbeing and strength.

The Yearn Of A Camelopard / The Turn Of An Ambiguous Trick

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
