Hello everyone, I'm glad to be back with my new album, it's been...
...6 years...

This is a full 60 minute LP of multi-genre exploration that I've spent entirely too much time on. So hopefully it doesn't suck.

Believe it or not, I've actually been writing this LP that whole time. Long days/nights of practicing, recording, re-recording, scrapping tracks entirely... at least I've learned to be more efficient over the years, while writing for PrototypeRaptor and other projects. (I don't do PTR full time)

But the result is a LP that I really feel a connection to. Lots of experiences, and especially covid-times, have all been kinda summed up in this record, and I hope y'all find something, somewhere in it you identify with.

Or maybe just like a cool chord progression or synth sound, idk what I'm talking about really.

If you're still here listening to my spastic music after all this time, I'm truly grateful. Now that this big LP undertaking is over, I have a lot of ideas that have gone on hold, so look forward to more music and projects ASAP!

And if there's no one left out there, so long, and thanks for all the fish.

Jonathan

This album has been a long time in the works, with several of the tracks being started as WIPs during/before the production of Nostalgiarithm. It's more funk and jazz influenced than that album as well, especially toward the second half. 

Thank you all for your support! ♥

Bring Back The Funk [New Album 3-1 Available Now!]

The 2nd half of this track is probably my favorite moment in the whole album. #funfacts

Last Sprite Standing [New Album 3-1 Available Now!]

The 2nd single from the upcoming LP is out now - this one was one of my favorites to write, starting with this bouncy arp thing I accidentally made on a deepmind 12. 
Hope y'all enjoy, and thanks for listening... one more single next week, then the full LP drops wooooo

The last single from the new LP is here!
It's this kinda glitchy midtempo melodic thing, went through lots of changes over time. There's a lil track breakdown on my twitter/fb if you're curious about the layers in it.

Next Tuesday the full 14 track album drops ahhhhh

Holding On

Metamorphosis

Alone

I've wanted to do a remix of a classical track forever, incorporating a string orchestra and a fidget type bass melody - and this is a preview of the result.

Baroque + electro house = win?

Got lots of new tracks in the works too, it's going to be a busy month...

Vivaldi - Winter(RaptorEdit)

Here's a little surprise for y'all -- I've done uploads on my bday before, so I figured why not do one again now that I'm back into it. (sidenote: old af now)

Opening up the vault of unreleased stuff, this is a ~ late 2020 cover of one of my favorite tunes of all time: 'Strobe' by deadmau5. the idea was to make an epic 'intro' version for something like a set starter (that I never actually got to play out, but oh well) that wouldn't go into the standard house stuff but wind up at 140-150bpm with more of the new album vibes.

So it's a full 9min adventure-- Free DL on bandcamp, maybe on spotify at some point if there's interest, but it is only a cover so idk

As always, more music is on the way, and thanks for listening !

Strobe

Some classic 8bit action in this one, SID emulations are fun.

The 'Everything Old Is New Again' Mix (Tinywaves Set)

This is a track I did entirely with FL Studio native plugins, so you can download the demo of FL and load the project session and 'see' the track play itself if you're into that sort of thing.

Get the project .zip here and load it into FL studio (as the.zip, not the file inside it -- you can load .zips like FLPs):

Survivors [Tasty Release]

If you go way back (5 years!), one of the first tracks I ever did was a remix of Sonic 2's "Chemical Plant Zone" music - you can still find it on OCRemix today:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQz0PvxGXY0

For this new compilation I thought it would be cool to work some VIP-magic and bring it into 2015 - so here's a basically entirely new remix of my remix.

You can listen to the whole album/buy a copy here:

I started this track when "Helldivers 2" came out in early 2024, thinking about the good ol video game AMV days. I even wanted to make a brief machinima video for this, but yeah, I'm just one guy who has a full time job lol

The initial idea came together pretty fast, but as always that last 20% took a very long time... but now it's time to crush some bugs and bots! (democratically, of course)

I've been writing a lot in this older style, having fun with electro and house music again, so you can expect more in that vibe coming sooner rather than later. Hard to believe I've been at this for almost 16 years now. oof, ouch, my bones

As always, thanks for listening, and see you next time.

Democracy Made Manifest (Helldivers Assemble!)

Getting back into the old tradition of October releases - this is a pretty silly tune about a skeleton decoration I have up in my yard. but he brings me calcium and strong bones, so he can stay, thank mr skeltal

coming up in november: more game remixes

thanks for listening! Till next time

Good Bones

For those of you who don't want to hear me yapping on the track, here's the instrumental :)

Next up, a Nov 1st release: an electro house take on the Sonic 3 Final Boss track with the lads at Firaga Records. See you soon!

Iconic

Due to popular demand and a late night with no company, here is the studio reject turned full track 'Drive Hard' available for free download while soundcloud can take it.


PrototypeRaptor - Drive Hard

This is the first of several monthly releases I'm doing in the old 2010 electro house/complextro style. It's fun to brush off old techniques but with new tools.

(I was thinking about jurassic snack pack with this one)

Expect more of these singles all summer long, to be combined with an EP later this year.

As always, thanks for listening!

Continuing the monthly releases! This is a cinematic electro house tune that was originally done for a game that is still in production - maybe one day I'll get to share that as well :)

Danny Baranowsky - Deep Sea Bass (PrototypeRaptor Extended ReMix)

'Still Waiting' is intended to be a nod to some older tracks with complextro roots. Striking the balance between many sounds and the groove is the hardest part of writing a track like this to me, so I recorded some live bass and simplified the drum parts to keep it from being overwhelming. If you have any sort of nostalgia for electro house circa 2012, hopefully this gets you moving a little!

PrototypeRaptor - Still Waiting

Lately I've been really into the electro house sound again, as I was back in 2012 - which is basically an eternity in dance music time. So, in that vein, this track is a bit epic. 

Hope you enjoy - I've got several more singles coming out in the next few months. 

Till then! 

Here's the Spotify pre-save, if you'd rather stream it right when it becomes available instead - bit.ly/2GkyNWS

It's the 26th! That means... it's my birthday! And, to celebrate, I've got two free tracks for you! Everyone wins! 
I finally finished up Jurassic Snack Pack - it's a fun track with melodic upbeat/8bit influences that started around the same time as "Drive Hard," and a super chilled out, downtempo version of deadmau5's latest "the veldt"
It means a lot to me that you guys still listen to my stuff after all this time... here's to another year!

PrototypeRaptor - Jurassic Snack Pack

I haven't done one of these contests in forever but had to come out of semi-retirement for this one as I dig tf out of Haywyre's music. I had a bunch of fun doing this kind of old school reharmonization thing. also solos

And yes, more music is coming (how has it been 3 years already)
There'll be an official announcement soon.

thanks for listening

Haywyre - Contagious (PrototypeRaptor Remix)

Two new tracks for you guys today, a fidget electro house track like some of my older stuff and a new 8bit trap experiment called "Vintage Swag" that samples a bunch of video game SFX

Hope you all enjoy these until the new album gets here in January!

PrototypeRaptor - Thrillseeker

Boo.

This is a surprise Halloween track, something I had fun putting together quickly in between finishing all these new LPs...

So thanks for listening and stay spooky friends

Serenade Of Water

Today is a big day: I'd like to announce that the release date for my sophomore album, Nostalgiarithm, is two weeks from today, 1/29/13!

This is the first track from the album, and hopefully it gets you as ready for this release as I am!

The album spans multiple genres at around a 70 minute runtime, including 130 bpm electro house like this track, old school prog house, experimental dubstep, ambient works, and includes most of the track IDs I've been playing out/putting in sets here on SC.

Thanks for all your support - hope you enjoy the music, and I'll see you soon for the full release!

PrototypeRaptor -  Timeless [Free DL]

Another October, another spooky tune... this one is a result of too many westerns and the great Ennio Morricone. Yes, I am doing the whistling in this. no it's not particularly amazing.

Also: the next LP is done! Currently figuring out how best to release it in this new algorithm dominated age, but y'all can be ready for that :)

Thanks for listening!
