I was honoured to get a message from Mark Sartori (@user-83791253-79179570), whose music & guitar playing I'm a big fan of, asking if I might want to collaborate on one of his pieces of music. He suggested I add some percussion to his guitar, and this is what came together. Mark S has since recorded a new, solo version of the song as well. 

Thanks Mark, for giving me the nod to work with you on this really fine & catchy tune. Hope folks dig this pan-Pacific partnership!

Little Wind (Mark Sartori with MisterMark)

Mirror Of Time

This track is a heartfelt tribute to my beloved sun conure, Mango, who filled my days with light and joy. Inspired by the moment of letting go, the song reflects the delicate journey from this world to the next, where every note is a step closer to the peace beyond. As you listen, imagine the fields where the brightest souls take flight. Rest in peace, Mango, may your wings always find the light. 💫✨

In this Beat Battle, you are supposed to create theme music for the encounter with the final boss - however exactly you choose to interpret this. It could be the soundtrack for a video game, it could be the score for a movie scene where the heroes encounter their ultimate opponent, or whatever else you can think of. I would ask you to a) use at least two of the samples provided, b) describe the final boss you imagined for your musical piece in your entry text and c) try to make the track you produce as atmospheric, gripping and immersive as possible. Which can mean different things: You can focus on the suspenseful build-up to the encounter, the heroes' determination in the face of imminent demise, the shocking revelation of the overwhelmingly powerful opponent or the heated back and forth of the battle itself. Trying to capture these different aspects/moods, there are three folders to choose samples from:
Epic (90bpm)
Menace (130bpm)
Adrenaline (168bpm)

Let the battle begin!

The Beat Battles Castle (Epic Boss)

Hi everyone, please have a listen to my latest Progressive House Warm Up Mix 🫶🫶🏠🏠

February’s Progressive House Warm Up Mix!!

Unforgettable Moments

BPM 71

Lyrics

New merged blue
Building light from true
'Boldest ambient
Ever ready sambo sound
Nightime comes to seed
Aurora musical feed
All access sips of soul
Underverse and all
Kinetic core of creed
Two timed souls turn to tease
Industry of tone
Insane makes sane from song
Two rhymed rolled rhythms be
Free for fine tuned to happy
Annoint the light
Universal right
Love is living loose
Nurtured selves we soothe
Drinks got thc
Eat me some cbd


For possible collab

Idea is to alternate singing the lines referring to each of our artist names

Note: Lyrics are built on our artist names written down the side. For that reason sense is found in each line but possibly not so much in the lyrics as a whole. I'm cool with that...

The alternating vocals I think will work best in unison towards the end of phrases

Tempo of 71 BPM tapped out from NB Nikita first uploadnon SC ro have a cool realm random connection without any originality encroachment. 
Love robbing tempos! I recommend not listening to the tune you are taking the tempo from if you can... It's clean as a whistle and a nice link made anyways

TITLE: THE MILKING $-MACHINE
_________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
They smile like sharks in suits too tight
Pockets swollen feeding on your fight
Handshakes slippery promises in flames
Their empire’s built on selling folks your name

(Chorus)
Milk the machine keep the lights all low
Shiny deals but they stage your woe
They’re cashing in while you fade away
Breaking your wings so you’ll always stay

(Verse 2)
Your dreams are notes locked in a gilded cage
They play the tune but you feel the rage
Every step is sold every word a debt
They steal your time the clock’s their pet

(Chorus)
Milk the machine keep the lights all low
Shiny deals but they stage your woe
They’re cashing in while you fade away
Breaking your wings so you’ll always stay

(Bridge)
You try to climb but the ladder’s fake
They own the rungs, and they make you ache
Oh, their smiles feel like a velvet knife
Cutting your art in the name of life

(Chorus)
Milk the machine keep the lights all low
Shiny deals but they stage your woe
They’re cashing in while you fade away
Breaking your wings so you’ll always stay

(Outro)
So... Eff me... Eff you, too! If all unsigned artists pulled away the machine would break in two. Don't push it too far...It's future's fate for you, too.
