Lyrics:

Kill the beat
As the lights strobing, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
CONFESSIONS on repeat, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
As my body breaks
Kill the beat, the beat, the beat
K-k-kill-k-k-kill

Radio plays the same song (no no uh oh)
No pulsing beat electric bass 
Hazy blizzard blast, can't find my speaker now
Turn this off give me a break

Whats, this, song playing so loud
I love mercedez baby my head is throbbing
Stayin all night, that's the name of the game
Don't forget it dont forget it forget it

Kill the beat
As the lights strobing, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
CONFESSIONS on repeat, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
As my body breaks
Kill the beat, the beat, the beat
K-k-kill-k-k-kill

Keep a secret kiss n tell
Whys my phone gone misplaced
Got my poker face they'll never know what I'll say
We're off to the moon tonight

Whats, this, song playing so loud
I love mercedez baby my head is throbbing
Stayin all night, that's the name of the game
Don't forget it dont forget it forget it

Kill the beat
As the lights strobing, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
CONFESSIONS on repeat, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
As my body breaks
Kill the beat, the beat, the beat
K-k-kill-k-k-kill

Take this blow
To your ego now you not regal
Keep it classy, not messy
Don't go slow
Pump that bass loud spin that record
We keep it humble
Never simple

Kill the beat
As the lights strobing, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
CONFESSIONS on repeat, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
As my body breaks
Kill the beat, the beat, the beat
K-k-kill-k-k-kill

Kill the beat
As the lights strobing, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
CONFESSIONS on repeat, da-da-doo-doot-n
Kill the beat
As my body breaks
Kill the beat, the beat, the beat
K-k-kill-k-k-kill

Released: 9/8/23

Kill The Beat

In this track I am trying to fit together the sound of the Strat with the synthesizers available in the #AKAI #MPC. For example, the second verse starts with a #Strat arpeggio followed by a synth #arpeggio. 
An arpeggiated Strat is present also on the chorus, and it is stereo-balanced with the synth pads.

All the effects applied on the Strat are stock ones available in the MPC, and the pre-amp is done by the #Marshall DSL-1. The overdrive on the guitar is generated by the DSL-1 #tubes.

I am experimenting the usage of #synthbass, using two different tracks, for #subbass and for bass. I like the thick sound I get from this approach.

I doubled the melody on the chorus on different octaves to have a bigger sound, and I think it works quite well, please let me know what you think in the comments.

I like a lot the intro-outro which is harmonized using 11th chords with the synth - mainly #Hype - and and with the Strat.

The title Verkehr is a German word that means traffic. I shot the photos in the #Verkehrshaus museum - museum of transportation in Luzern, Switzerland.
