#Combustion

#devsays – “No problem survives me. I believe through the night.”

Track Details: 120 BPM, Melodic EDM × Ambient Cinematic Techno 
Vocal: Instrumental (spoken intro + half-sung placeholders + chopped hook inserts) 
Mood: Volatile, mythic, rhythm-forward

Combustion opens with a whispered spoken intro, low-pass filtered and stereo-faded, setting the emotional fuse. A four-on-the-floor kick drives the pulse, layered with crisp hi-hats and a sub-heavy bassline. Synth pads flicker like heatwaves, rising in stereo drift. The lead melody is sparse and urgent, a signal breaking through rhythmic static. The mix is clean, low-end dominant, and built for modular vocal phrasing.

Vocals are layered and cinematic: 
– Spoken phrases (“The floor hums beneath me… Just motion in the static…”) 
– Half-sung verses (“You move like a question… I answer with fire…”) 
– Chopped hook inserts (“Run… Rise… Break… Burn…”) 
– Ambient outro harmonies (“Still louder than silence… Still lit in the dark…”)

Granular FX, shimmer delay, and harmonic lift shape each vocal layer into emotional motion. The breakdown suspends rhythm with reversed pads and gated silence — a mythic pause before the return. The drop slams back with layered arps, war drum propulsion, and stereo bloom. The outro dissolves into pad fade and signal scatter.

Built for peak-time sets, cinematic loops, and headphone immersion. Combustion ignites. Silence breaks. Rhythm survives.

Combustion

[Verse 1]
It's been a while since I've been home
I've been staying on the road
And seeing things that I ain't seen before
It gets cold in late October
I've been waiting to be older
I never thought I'd leave my home for good

[Chorus]
I could stay with you
I could stay with you

[Verse 2]
I could tell you stories
I could stay up all night
Drink some beer and feel alright
Watch the sky 'til it turns blue

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you want me to
I could stay with you

[Chorus]
I could stay with you
I could stay with you

[Verse 3]
It seems like everybody's sad here
The world's getting smaller every year
And no one knows what we're doing anymore
If I could, I'd take it back
But we both know it ain't like that
And maybe I was running for a reason

I Could Stay With You.

Track Bio: DJ J Instinct – A Beautiful Place (feat. Nicole Adams)
Featured on the album Forever In Motion — out 18/10/25

A Beautiful Place is a trance-laced journey through memory, longing, and the quiet hope that lives in every goodbye. Featuring the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Nicole Adams, the track blends shimmering synths, cinematic pads, and a driving rhythm that evokes both movement and stillness — like watching the stars from a train window at midnight.

Crafted with Jamie’s signature emotional depth and sonic precision, this anthem stands as a centerpiece of Forever In Motion, a collection of DJ J Instinct’s most evocative trance and liquid DNB productions to date. It’s a celebration of connection, of places we carry inside us, and of the collaborators who help bring those visions to life.

Releasing on 18/10/25, A Beautiful Place invites listeners to pause, reflect, and remember that sometimes the most powerful journeys begin within.
