Awesome track. Very fresh and retro sounding.

Holding on
Holding on
Holding on 
Still holding on to you
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on to you

Here we go
Tryna make it tryna find out on our own 
Tryna love with dirty hearts made out of stone
Pushed a button that we shoulda left alone
Now we know

We complain
But it's our fault we lost our way
We shoulda kept our faith
There's no one else we can blame
We knew that it was wrong
It was a dirty game and we still played along
We thought that we were strong
And now we're clinging on and on and on to you

Holding on
Still holding on to you
Holding on
Still...

No time to waste
Driving down the highway just to get away 
Leaving everything behind that caused the pain
Out on the open road and don't know where to go
Tryna make it home

We complain
But it's our fault we lost our way
We shoulda kept our faith
There's no one else we can blame
We knew that it was wrong
It was a dirty game and we still played along
We thought that we were strong
And now we're clinging on and on and on 

We complain
But it's our fault we lost our way
We shoulda kept our faith
There's no one else we can blame
We knew that it was wrong
It was a dirty game and we still played along
We thought that we were strong
And now we're clinging on and on and on to you

MEORECORDS - 1988

Once a bustling city is now reduced to rubble and decay, overrun by the undead. 
A lone survivor, dressed in an old palm shirt, cautiously makes his way through the deserted streets, constantly on the lookout for the next zombie cop that may be lurking around the corner. 
His only hope for survival is to make it to the fallback point, where a lost patrol may still be waiting for him. But with each passing minute, the chances of reaching safety grow increasingly slim.
Suddenly, the survivor hears the unmistakable rumble of a powerful engine. As he turns the corner, he sees it: a gleaming pink GTO, its paint job somehow unscathed in the midst of the destruction. The driver, a woman with a fierce look in her eye, motions for him to hop in.
With no other options, the survivor jumps in the passenger seat and they tear through the city, dodging zombies left and right. The woman behind the wheel is a skilled driver, and she navigates the streets with ease.
Just when it seems like all hope is lost, they burst through the barricades of the fallback point, sending zombies flying in every direction. The other survivors cheer as the pink GTO comes to a screeching halt.
From that moment on, the pink GTO becomes a symbol of hope for the survivors. Whenever they see it speeding through the ruins, they know that there's a chance for them yet.

The lost patrol

Fallback Point

Darklight has two meanings for me. 

First it's a portrait.. you could even call it a love letter, to the independent producer community. People often only see the end result of a track. the polished final product. What most people don't realise is the sheer volume of hard work that goes into personal and skills development,  technical competencies, mixing, mastering, sound design and composition. 
Then there's marketing, promotion, branding, networking, social media management, ads and analytics... all of which is underpinned by a 24/7 focus to do their best work every day. 
And it's hard. Especially when you get flippant comments from playlist curators (literally every artist I know has experienced this) who really should know better...

Many producers quit. All producers find some days harder than others, trying to make space for their passion alongside work, family and life in general. But sheer determination and commitment pushes them on, through the dark days, to find th moment where something clicks. The adrenalin from producing something that expresses that which you intended, perfectly. There's no better feeling. 

It's also a self portrait. 

Darklight has been a hugely challenging production to complete - 63 tracks,. 11 changes and a lot of clashing sounds in the early stages of development .But I'm really proud of the final product. It encapsulates the sound I want to make. A blend of light ethereal sounds, coupled with dark undertones. A fusion of dark and light. Energy and trepidation. 
I'm so happy with the result and I truly hope you enjoy it!
