my favorite bass tracks of 2023, most of them lean in a dubstep direction. i'm not really trying to keep it in chronological order this year.

this one has my vox!!! yay! 

“With no luck in their search, the Child kept moving through the crystal cave, until it began to close into a tunnel. The final echoes of light from the glowworms began to fade out - it seemed the next portion of the Child's journey would not be blessed by their light. In the next area, icy white crystals lined the walls, and the air was frigid and bleak. Snow absorbed all the sound in the cavern, except the crunch of the Child's footsteps and the thoughts racing through their head. 

The Child felt a sense of isolation - like they had stumbled into a place once filled with life, lost to an eternal winter. There was no contentment or warmth in this part of the cavern - simply ice and decay.  Their hope was beginning to fade out, and they pondered whether this Crystal Heart was meaningful at all… or even real. What if this was all for nothing - would they be tethered to their simple life in the forest forever?  Regardless, the Child pushed forward, alone with their thoughts and doubts…”

Lyrics:
no im not okay
watching the decay
of a forest in the winter
wandering through barren trees

its not forever
but come december
i wont be here for a while
will you move on, or wait for me?

a place i thought i knew
for the warmth of summer bloom
but the color's fading out
and the snow is falling down

i'll be gone until the spring
lamenting the distance, my burning insistence to be something
but i know in time it won't
be enough to stop the snow

Lyrics:

Dear machine, I am haunted by a world that swallows me
The ice beneath me, frozen memories, slowly breaking as I reach
So can I climb through snow and ice, taking strides through this new life
Or drift astray, as I decay, the mountain claims me as its own?

I just wanna crumble to the ground (please tell me how)
All alone can someone hold me now? (If I knew now)
The winds, they're calling out to me and I can barely breathe
Dear machine, can I break free
From these thoughts that beckon me? 

Fear has fallen down on me, I’m buried in too deep
I stumble to my feet, tears frozen to my cheek
Dreams that bring me light, they tell me to survive
I’m reaching for a life beyond the...

Fear can take its toll on me, if fear is all I see
So come chase me as I seek, a new reality
I watch the northern lights, they gleam against the night
I choose to stay alive, I'm reaching for… 

I'm reaching for a life beyond the peak

Here's a remix I made of Matthias' song "Backwards" which came out exactly 10 years ago. I wanted to try playing around with sentimental instrumentation to complement the vocals, all while adding some Brostep-adjacent vibes, hope you enjoy it ^_^

Escapade (FNAF Security Breach Flip)

@sharkstunes @diontimmer

On the bright and early morning of August 12th, 2023, over 1,000 creatives began their 24-hour work session that resulted in 558 unique songs and 66 album covers. Musicians bounced out stems for each other and shared samples, visual artists scoured the Internet for fonts and graphics, and everyone excitedly buzzed about what would come of it all. The final result? 45 of the most outstanding, creative, and genuine tracks our corner of the digital world has to offer—with an equally beautiful album cover to match.

The real enrichment lies in the act of creation. A piece of art does not have to be forward-thinking or never-seen-before, nor does it have to be better than the last; it simply has to be. To create something without worry of what others might think, to have fun with your work, is one of the greatest things this world has to offer—digital or otherwise.

All proceeds from All Nighter Vol. 8 will be going to Out & Equal, an organization dedicated to workplace equality for LGBTQ+ individuals.

After a show in Dallas in March 2022, a fan approached me and suggested a collaboration with Daeya (DDD at the time). I was familiar with their work but had never actually thought about writing music with them… now it feels so obvious that this collab just NEEDED to exist. If you're reading this, thanks fan!!!

We started this tune back in April 2022, when I was fresh off the hype of a full 2D Metroid playthrough. Specifically the buildup of this tune is inspired by the glitchy techy soundtracks from the series. This is one of the few tracks I’ve ever made that STEMMED from a buildup!

We're both eternally grateful for the support from Tokyo Machine, letting us put this tune out on their CHOMPO imprint! We're both massive fans of his work and what the label has put out over the years.

LOVE YOU GUYS! DROP A COMMENT IF U DIG THIS ONE :)
