Tells the story of a soulmate who has had a profound impact on who I am as a person and how I approach life. He introduced me to the world of techno and helped me discover the immense passion I have for it, allowing me to channel my emotions through it. When people share passions, they create exceptional connections that last a lifetime. His critical mindset and personality encouraged me to keep experimenting. "Max" is the first techno track I completed and truly felt. The most crucial lessons I learned from him are: a strong foundation is paramount, simplicity often reigns supreme, and be unexpected. His passion and drive for music infuse me with energy and motivation. Surrounding yourself with individuals who chase their dreams, offer support, and believe in you is invaluable. The people you choose to have around you hold significant influence over your personal growth and development. Thank you, Maxim. I love you.

Lyrics:
Swimming through the clouds
like a weightless bird
in the deepest blues 
Seeing all the sounds
that move through the 
skyline hues 

Living in electric dreams
riding waves of neon streams 
Everything so soft and sweet
except the ground beneath our feet
               
My wings about to break down
But we can’t eject somehow
Embrace for the impact
But I know how to fix this now
we need it now!!
 
Just take the pill
to make us feel better
We need the thrill
and we can go on forever!

No more fear and no more pain
just the rush inside my veins
It dominates, it elevates
are they real, these pearly gates? 

My wings about to break down 
Are things about to end now? 
Embrace for the impact
But we know how to make things right!
this never-ending flight

Just take the pill
It will make us feel better
We need the thrill
so we can go on forever!

Don’t take the pill
It wont make me feel better
I need to kill
and lock you up forever

I wont take the pill
cause I wanna feel better
I’m gonna kill
and bury you forever

Swimming through the clouds
like a weightless bird
in the deepest blues 
Seeing all the sounds
that move through the 
skyline hues

The Pill

DROP ZONE REDUX:  Episode 004 (01-Apr-2025)

NewOldSchool is a fresh instrumental genre that builds on the mellow vibes of lo-fi but injects a bit more energy into the mix. While lo-fi is often characterized by its soft, understated percussion and warm textures, NewOldSchool turns up the intensity with louder drums, crisp claps/snaps, and an unmistakable groove. The basslines lean toward funky sub-bass, giving the sound a deeper, punchier foundation while still retaining the nostalgic, chill aesthetic that lo-fi is known for.
This genre could work well for both relaxed listening and upbeat creative sessions, offering a balance between laid-back and head-nodding rhythms. The contrast between vintage elements and modern production gives it an unmistakable personality—hence the name, NewOldSchool.
