Remember that I participated in the 'Kompakt Open Air' DJ contest? Well, let's tell you a story in order to get you up-to-date. 

After submitting my mix: https://soundcloud.com/spoedsky/kompakt-open-air-entry?si=9531fb1420244a44a798be74e53ec556&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing , I got selected in the first round with the 16 best ones. After that I won the 2nd round in my poll with 66% of the votes on instagram. 🙌🏻 Nevertheless, they had forgotten to select me for the finals. 🙄 I had to contact them to inform them about their mistake... It took them exactly until 2 days before the finals would take place to inform me about the fact that I could also participate, leaving me with the very difficult task to get my fans informed about the event in such a short matter of time. 

At the finals on the 6th of July, 2024 @ JDH Bizar, I learned to my great surprise that there was no jury present. No, it would be done by a voting via a QR code, putting me even in a bigger disadvantage. 🙄 But look at the cover art of my set; Who got the most votes in the end? I got the first place with 61%! 😎

Nevertheless, they selected the 2nd in place as the winner. They disqualified me because of online votes (which was not mentioned, by the way, in their voting rules). One of my friends had taken a picture of the QR-code and sent it into some groups on our socials, leaving me eventually with more votes than there were people present on the event 😂. Now, a small detail, the second in place probably, used the same technique, only a bit less pronounced...   

Nevertheless, I'm pretty proud of my performance that evening. That's why I decided to put my set online for the ones who want to enjoy it again! 🎧🎶

I began working on this beat a month ago and realized it was an opportunity to incorporate more synthwave into my collection with a touch of space rock. As I developed the beat, lyrical ideas began to emerge, along with thoughts of adding a guitar. This music could serve as a way to divert your attention from current events and transport you to a different place. It's like endless summers from the past, with stunning poolside views and well-dressed companions.

Silhouette Skyline 

Gone are the memories of the skyline and 
crashing waves 
Turning all the corners on the surf tide 
I will catch a break

Bygone eras of your life appear
like magic
paint the neon canvas all balcony tone 

Beautiful and fancy 
Balcony tone
I could still see you
Silhouette moonshine 

Beautiful and fancy 
Balcony tone
I can still see you
Silhouette moonshine 
Beautiful dressed up 
Dinner at pool side 

Soaking up wind and the sun rays 
Think of what the future might be   
Turning all the corners of the surf tide
Finally catch a break - catch a break

I can still see you dancing in the moonlight
beautiful and fancy balcony tone
tones on the skyline 
balcony tone silhouette skyline

On the 9th of August, I played a set from 1 AM to 2 AM at 'De Bak' in Peer, in honor of the presentation of the delicious beer 'Elite Tripel'. 🍺
Just like the beer, my set was pretty strong and had a lot of character. 💪🏻😎 It  contained mainly 'hardgroove techno', and was played on a pretty high tempo of +/- 144 bpm. 
I'm also happy to inform you that I recorded my set and that I made it readily available for everyone who wants to enjoy it again. Have fun! 🎧🎶

Description: I started with an obvious beat and intended to create more synthwave and space rock, but it turned out to be more rock than I expected. Over the past year, I've tried to avoid this style for the most part. However, I found myself reminiscing about the fun summers before global warming and severe heat waves. I recalled a specific memory of my friend and me paddling a rubber raft along a river bed. The raft tumbled and flipped over, and we had to swim out. This memory combined all the summer fun, including going to malls. I thought about adding lyrics about a water park somewhere, perhaps for another song. Nevertheless, this track is another anthem for the end of August, capturing the essence of summer before fall arrives.

Endless Summer Daze

How I long for those endless summer daze 
When everything was new
When we were just kids 

Everything that we would do 
Felt like a dream come true with you  

Time it played it’s tricks on us
Don’t worry wise one said 
Exploring with our wanderlust
Rolling up the trail

Well endless summer daze 
When we felt that craze
Running through the fields
Is any of this so real 

Eagle flight and I’m taking you 
Open malls and the waterfalls 
 
Timing made a fool of me 
It’s real what’s Einstein said 
Rafting on the river bed  
Fishing in the lake 

Endless Summer Daze 
Everything that we would do 
Felt like a dream come true 
again with you  

All those days are gone for us 
Memories remain 
I’d say we made the most of the
endless summer daze

Wasteland

When I first started making retro music, I struggled to capture certain sounds. Despite growing up listening to a lot of it, I had to immerse myself in knowledge of how it was made and the techniques of the time. By combining modern DAW and techniques, I've developed my own unique approach. This track was inspired by those times when you lack the energy to socialize. It reflects on the circumstances, the rooms, the glances, past loves, and past life, yet not finding the energy to create something special and unique again. It's like running on fumes when the well has run dry. While creating this 80s vibe sound, instead of my usual sci-progressive direction, I found myself leaning into the 80s vibe lyrically.

Fantasy Glance

Gliding through the end of hemisphere
Didn’t you know you were on my mind 

Forever reaching for the unattainable
If I find you there will help me stay 

Running on fumes and I’m feeling so lonely 
How often I roam this city
looking for you

The lamp shade mirror in the room where you
used to be 
Seductive glances 
stuck in my memory 

Roads crossed and the merchant village fair 
Amid the fantasy nostalgia waves

Running on fumes and I’m feeling so lonely 
How often I roam this city
looking for you

I’m running on (running on)
I’m running running on fumes
I’m running running on 
running on empty

Synthbuster, a French music producer, has crafted some incredible music. His music spans a wide range of styles, including retro and synth, pop, and more. One day, a few Synthbuster tracks unexpectedly crossed my ears, and I quickly added them to my Spacey Synthwave collection. Then, out of the blue, he reached out to collaborate with me, asking me to sing. I was thrilled and immediately agreed.


He sent me this exquisite track, and I spent some time brainstorming ideas for lyrics. The music evoked a vivid scene of sudden rain followed by a drought ending in a desert, with a fast car speeding down the road. It was a story about choosing one’s own destiny and embracing the joys of life amidst the struggles.

Dream Unwind  

How am I supposed to feel
7 long years in drought
Spinning through the rain at dusk
Droplets reflect in my mirror  

So finally the rain 
We’ll never be the same 
Let go of the tears
Thats caused all the pain
The altitude gains
While spinning my tires
Travel for awhile (feel’s like we’re waiting) 

So finally the rain 
We’ll never be the same 
Let go of the tears
Let go of the pain
Just take what you feel
We’ll all be ok 
Look out for out for each other 
Wash those fears away 

Finally the rain 
altitude gains
spins off my tires 
Travel for miles
Better to give 
Than to receive
More than belief 
Curve through the streets 
These are my dreams
Control my own destiny

Finally the rain
Altitude gains 
Spins off my tires
Travel for miles 

So finally the rain 
We’ll never be the same 
Let go of the tears
Let go of the pain
Just take what you feel
We’ll all be ok 
Look out for out for each other 
Wash those fears away 
Wash the fears away 

How am I supposed to feel? 
How does it ever end? 
Soaring down the road at dusk
Rain hitting off my windshield 
After all this time 
I find a dream unwind
How am I supposed to feel?

Dream Unwind

hold on

Hi there and welcome to the latest release from NEON MONOLITH, 'Beautiful You'

This track is inspired by friendship and all the beautiful people we are so blessed to have in our lives.

Lyrics, Composition, All Instruments, Arrangement, Vocals & Production: Matt Baker

Verse 1.
Sometimes I don't know what to do
Some days the sky's so grey and cold
Sometimes the world spins me round and round
I try to hold on, hope things slow down

Chorus:
Beautiful You, Like a beacon of light
Shining Love, that conquers the night
Through the chaos, and through the fear
I am safe when you are here

Verse 2:
The World outside, it frightens me
So many monsters, chasing after me
The light is blinding, the thunder roars
I try to hold on, forever yours

Chorus:

Verse 3:
The doubt that creeps in, Whisper fear
Telling stories I don't wanna hear
I run to find, tranquillity
Somewhere safe, where I am free

Chorus:

Verse 1 

Chorus

End



Recorded at Yew Tree Studios Liverpool

Peace, Love & Respect
