august brought a wave of inspired collaborations—so many creative sparks flew this month!

musically speaking, a lot of flavors covered: live jams, jazz fusion, funk, house, techno, classic rock anthems, punk, alternative, experimental, ambient, lo-fi, hip-hop, folk, singer-songwriter—every groove under the sun welcome.

our musical handshakes reached out from argentina to germany, poland, italy, japan, and switzerland.

languages dropped in the mix: english and german

collaboration languages: spanish, german, polish, japanese, english, and of course, swiss german

the playlist keeps the chronological drop order more or less, track one is already the exception of the rule - this song sums up this month of August in turmoil quite well, for me at least.

Lyrics:

Neon cities
Neon skies
Neon lights
I'm racing the cars
Racing the cars
Racing the cars
Oh racing the cars
Racing the cars

Foot on the gas
Flooding my senses
I let the radio
Feed my brain
That's what I want
That's what I want
Oh that's what I want
That's what I want

Pulsing stars, let the colors burn
No way back, there's no return
Faster still as the echoes play
Neon skies call me by my name

Pulsing stars, let the colors burn
No way back, there's no return
Faster still as the echoes play
Neon skies call me by my name, by my name

Speeding fast
Chasing the stars
The city's pulse
Beats in my heart
In my heart
In my heart
Oh in my heart
In my heart

In the night
In my car
We cast all aside
We race in the light
Race in the light
Race in the light
Oh race in the light
Race in the light

Pulsing stars, let the colors burn
No way back, there's no return
Faster still as the echoes play
Neon skies call me by my name

Pulsing stars, let the colors burn
No way back, there's no return
Faster still as the echoes play
Neon skies call me by my name, by my name

The morning comes
The lights are gone
The night moves on
Where I belong, I belong

Here's my latest track, Dystopian Dreams.

Fractal Shenanigans (with Negative Headphone)

A hypnotic warning for the future—where techno pulses meet the quiet tension of a world on the brink, and every beat asks: are we truly safe, or just almost silenced?
/
2030 — You Have Nothing to Fear // Almost Silenced Techno Take
/
A sonic meditation on the paradox of progress—a world promising safety and convenience while grappling with the quiet, persistent anxieties of technological power and control. It’s a call to listen closely, to question softly, and to dance thoughtfully in the face of an uncertain future.

2030 — You Have Nothing to Fear // Almost Silenced Techno Take

This title carries a haunting duality—an invitation wrapped in unease. The phrase “You Have Nothing to Fear” echoes with calm reassurance, yet when paired with “Almost Silenced Techno Take,” it suggests an undercurrent of suppression and muted warning.

Set against the backdrop of the year 2030, the track explores a world on the cusp of profound technological transformation. The “almost silenced” aspect hints at voices, concerns, or truths being subdued—whether by societal complacency, censorship, or the overwhelming noise of rapid innovation. It’s as if the techno beat, usually loud and unrelenting, is now tempered, restrained, reflecting a fragile balance between celebration and caution.

Beneath the surface lies the shadow of emerging autonomous AI systems, including weapons once relegated to science fiction. The “silencing” may symbolize the difficulty in confronting these realities openly, or the subtle ways in which critical discourse is drowned out amid techno-optimism.

Musically, the “techno take” suggests a reinterpretation or remix that is both hypnotic and introspective, inviting listeners to move physically while engaging mentally with the complex emotions of hope, fear, and uncertainty.

2030 — You Have Nothing to Fear // Almost Silenced Techno Take

I started making this piece with the intention of it being a set of songs that could stand on their own as well as being an open collaboration, but then it took on a life of its own, and things just got out of hand from there, lol! 

But I still managed to control myself and didn’t add too many samples though, haha! 

I was listening to 1985 and 1986 hip hop singles when making this so….

You can download this for free as well as some of the unmixed stems on Bandcamp. The lyrics can also be found on Bandcamp since SC didn’t provide enough space in the song info. I reached my description limit!

Feel free to treat it as an open collaboration if you like. The song list, BPMs, and time signatures are listed below.

two cover versions performed by the Soul Maniacs, a collective based in Zürich, Switzerland.

Streetplayers are the pulse—urban troubadours weaving raw life into every beat and rhyme.  
They own the streets’ secrets and stories, turning the daily grind into art and anthem.  
More than performers, they’re navigators of culture’s undercurrent—voices of unfiltered truth.  
In every corner, their signal sparks connection: streetwise poetry alive and thriving.

One of 1,300 Israeli Academics Against War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity
/
In the shadow of war, more than 1,200 Israeli academics have broken ranks with silence, raising their voices against war crimes and the devastation in Gaza. Their open letters and campus protests put the suffering of Palestinians in the center, naming the deliberate starvation and destruction as crimes against humanity. Professors, scholars, and students stand together—no longer quiet enablers, but truth seekers whose hearts refuse denial, demanding justice and a future where innocent lives are protected. This rebellion of conscience is a spark in the dark, a plea that history must never forgive silence: for the children, for this land, for humanity itself.

A dream pop excursion into the meaning of love...
Have you ever said those three words without meaning them?
Or ever heard them, but knew they were a lie?
Whispered without care, tossed into the void as a gesture of placation...
A preoccupation 
A mental vacation

A ticket to easy street
Or manipulation...

Actions always speak louder than words 🖤

Lyrics:

I used to think you had a heart
But now I know it fell apart
The emptiness you gave to me
Some cheap apology

I love you
(I love you)

I Love You

Original title: I like to sample old drums

Open collaborations have always triggered me and they have to be cooked, when they are still hot. So when I listened to the new track of Marquis I knew immediately what I wanted to do and created a remix in a few hours. My approach is, that I have replaced the warm and organic sounding drum-loops with cold and sterile sounding synth-sounds. Though I am far from being a Hip hop-producer I tried to apply a polished and modern attitude. I painstakingly recreated the groove of the original loops, shifting sounds exactly to the same place. All sounds are made with the Zebra-synth and mixed in Logic. I used two raps and tried to create a smooth transition between them.

Lyrics 
Take The Max Down To Hillsboro  
Hey maybe when were done collabing  
You should  
Take the max down to hillsboro  
Kickback and relax 
We could have fun 
Eat some cake at Decadent Creations  
Chill and bake in the sun, then Run to the Bagley park pavilion 
When the rain has begun 
We don’t use none umbrellas here 
Just jackets from Columbia  
I could buy you one cause there Is no sales tax,  
I don’t lie, just facts 
We all like to try to put bike racks on our Subarus  
What chus got to loose  
Boos is only sold  
At the liquor store I got one near me called 
Wholesale Liquor store 
Yo what more  
Do you want to know From the Portland Airport  
You can go  
Take the max down to Hillsboro It’ll cost around 4 to 6 bucks  
And take about an hour and 45 minutes 

This One Goes  
This one goes out to Portland breweries even though I don’t drink keep making them brews 
This one goes out to Washington Park for the oldest west of the Mississippi zoo 
This one goes out to Beaverton Nike workers cause you know we keep wearing them shoes 
This one goes out to Hillsboro  
This one goes out to Cornelius, every day I go to work I’m just passing through 
This one goes out to Forest Grove Pacific University keep collecting them dues  
Fuck going into debt for school

we, da people, are we still in control? — hate to tell you // a 'obey and cry' opera

Well hello… are we having fun yet as we travel around the sun? First off, I do not know how to play piano. Bear with me on this. I am just learning hand and finger placement on the keyboard. I did not use any of that to do this song. Ha. A friend just gave me an older electronic keyboard that he dug out from all the dusty junk in his shed. So I have been noodling about and learning a bit of music along the way. I am also testing glass, as a percussion instrument. I already broke my favorite glass slide. (Just get a drum set Dude!) Hahaha. I am also exploring my vocal range, as an advanced beginner, when it comes to singing. You’ll hear that on this track, as the song is in a higher register than I am used to singing in. The first vocal stanza is just me finding my voice. Hahahaha. (I guess I need to try some pre-singing.) The recorder works but isn’t in the key of the song, so I had to wing in, insofar as melodies. That is what I like about music, these little creative explorations that develop into ‘music’. I had about an hour or so to lay this down… Outside summer distractions have cut into my music time. Hope you are all well. Thanks for dropping by, Mark

Hey, it's been a while!  
Glad you're visiting. 

Make Friends with the End

 You know how it feels
When things are getting dire
And you reel, try to run
Just as things are catching fire
And you feel time compress
As your vision starts to tunnel
Swallow hard, catch your breath
Put your hands out just a little
And make friends with the end

You know how it feels
When the sky is growing darker
On your own, look around
As your vision starts to falter
Try to see, feel the ground 
And as midnight is approaching
You give in, let it win
And embrace medianoche
You make friends with the end
You make friends

You know what it's like
When things are getting stranger
And you're sure that it's real
And you know that you're in danger
Makes you shudder just a little
Must be your imagination
Hear a whisper like a riddle
Ride a ghost hallucination 
Ride a ghost hallucination
Ride a ghost

You know how it feels 
When the tide is rising higher
And you paddle, try to float
Then swim out a little further
As the current starts to pull 
And you slow down your resistance
Swallow hard, take a breath
You’ll be in it for the distance
You'll make friends with the end
Make friends with the end

Make Friends with the End

Lyrics: 

Our bodies are enslaved, but our minds and our spirits do not have to be. Do not fear thinking outside what is considered normal, do not fear to think unlike your peers. If they judge you, let them; their opinions are of ill importance; what matters is your heart, what matters is the truth. This physical existence is but only a short chapter in the epic tale of you and I; a tale that connects us all and stretches throughout eternity.

As your lives are spent working day in and day out to reach the a-typical material goals, ask yourself in a deeper sense: are you happy? Do you know true happiness? Or do you merely find comfort within the confines of societal boundaries because it is safer to follow the majority?

Liberate your spirit; even if it means being criticised, even if it means being considered abnormal;

 everyone has the right and/or power to be themselves, we just need to break free from the shackles of fear which hold us back from revealing what is behind the mask.

LIBERATION. 🎧

Trump's Return - The Circus of Democracy // Mediaval Tribal Mix

/
Mama Too: It's A F** G-Thang

/
“Mama Too: It's A F** G-Thang” is a powerful chronicle of resistance and truth, stitched from authentic, brave voices broadcast on our mighty Instagram story feed. These voices illuminate the spiraling madness and horror we witness daily: the confirmed genocide in Gaza, enabled by western nations that declare themselves democracies but suppress peace, arresting those who protest the massacre of children under new 'anti-terror' laws—most harshly in the UK.

This song stands in solidarity with those fearless enough to speak, to shine a light, to withstand pressure and misunderstanding. Like Mama, we all know—forced to watch, forced to obey, forced into silence—but the truth demands to be heard. “Mama Too: It's A F** G-Thang” is not just a song; it's a tribute to every witness, every protester, every heartbeat refusing to surrender.

Mama Too: It's A F** G-Thang

Firstly on easy listening 6/4 bars, I cut some notes out of the main theme so as to give it dynamism, and finally obtained a prime amalgam of 17 quarter notes. I hid any recognizable thing in the accompaniment, and for the organic lines (voice and guitars) I tried the strong rhythm would not fix too much the melodies, first paying a lot of attention, and finally ... just letting me go.

Translated lyrics:

Oídos sordos (17 negras)  /  Deaf ears (17 quarter notes)

Quiero gritar todo lo que siento, estando solo;  /   I want to shout out everything I feel, being alone;
pero gritándolo al viento y si no contesta,  /  but shouting it at the wind and if it doesn’t answer,
dime, ¿de qué me sirve? (bis)  /  tell me, how does that help me? (bis)

Todos los vientos conocen mi historia  /  All the winds know my story
pero no hacen nada.  /  but they don’t do anything.
¿Será que no me oyen? (bis)  /  Perhaps they don’t hear me? (bis)

He estado aquí y allí gritando como un loco,  /  I’ve been here and there screaming like a madman,
pero todo sigue igual.  /  but it’s all the same.
¿Será que no me oyen? (bis)  /  Perhaps they don’t hear me? (bis)

Quiero gritar…  /  I want to shout out…

Ahora sé que no sirve de nada;  /  Now I know it’s no use;
el viento sois todos que callais al verme,  /  all of you are the wind, silent when you see me,
y dejáis que hable y hable,  /  and letting me speak and speak,
y dejáis que hable y hable y hable.  /  and letting me speak and speak and speak.

No creo que vuelva mañana  /  I don’t think I’ll be back tomorrow
a escuchar vuestro silencio.  /  to listen to your silence.
Quiero encontrar a alguien. (bis)  /  I want to find someone. (bis)

Quiero gritar…  /  I want to shout out…
