Earthshine (Ibiza B-Sides) - A new release with one of my personal favourite songs I've made and a collection of songs that were made for the original Ibiza EP between January to February 2022. I'm proud to have this finished, thank you for your support on the last EP. 

This album contains: 

Earthshine - A new single made in April 2022, one of my personal favourite songs I've made with the most complex layering I've done so far. 

Hachimaki - A fast paced Synthwave song which was intended to be in the middle of the album but was never finished until now. 

Beyond - One of the earliest songs I made for the album and was made around the time of Dazed (Early January 2022). Was meant to be a bonus track but never decided to go through with it. 

IBI-Z4B - A song that was intended to be the last song for the Ibiza EP but was never finished, so now it sits as a small bonus track. 

Daybreak (Demo) - The earliest known demo of daybreak that I have (Mid January 2022), sounds pretty similar to the final product but there are drastic differences in the mix of each track.

Dawn Of Love

Music is therapy for me, first and foremost. When I say that, I mean it in every sense of the word: this hobby/obsession/lifestyle/whatever is one of the only things keeping me out of my head and present in my life. When I heard RAN's final master of this song for the first time, I wept like I haven't in a long, long time; it felt SO FUCKING GOOD to get this out of my head and into my ears and make it somehow external to myself, if even for a short while.

The Outer Darkness is where I end up when I let myself stop and listen to my own internal monologue reminding me what a useless piece of shit I am; how incapable I am of being a success, or a father, or a functional, useful human being in general; or how stupid I was to bring a child into this dying, collapsing, greedy cesspool of a planet; or how much better off everyone I love would be if I did them a favor and ceased to exist. It's foggy and cloying and pervasive and it makes even the smallest decisions or baby steps of progress insurmountable and terrifying, and most of all, it brings with it a lingering, abiding fear of things going right, because that is where disaster waits to drop me back to rock bottom if I let myself indulge in even the briefest moment of positivity.

My producer handle is Pashang 爬上, which comes from the Chinese "to climb up" or "to mount," and for me, it represents my ultimate goal in music creation: to climb up and out and away from the Outer Darkness and remember, even for a little while, that it doesn't exist everywhere all the time.

So this song is for me, and for you, if you find yourself curling your toes over the cliff face of oblivion, staring outwards and inwards at the endless expanse of nothingness and still find it within yourself to raise your voice to the universe and say "FUCK YOU, NOT TODAY." It does that for me and I hope it does for you, too. Thanks for listening.

All thanks to RAN for his amazing guitars and incredible master for the track, and to all the #synthfam out there helping and supporting each other no matter what. You all inspire me <3

The Outer Darkness (ft. RAN)

Lucid Echoes

Collective Unconscious

No Way Back

You step into the neon-lit arcade, the hum of machines and the glow of screens pulling you in. Rows of classic arcade cabinets line the room, each promising a new challenge. You pick your favorite game, fingers poised on the joystick and buttons, heart racing with anticipation.

Level after level, you dodge pixelated enemies, rack up points, and feel the thrill of near victories. The crowd around you fades as you focus, lost in the digital world where every move counts. But as the final boss appears, your reflexes falter just a bit, and the inevitable happens—game over.

You stand up, a mix of satisfaction and frustration washing over you. The neon sign above flickers: "GAME OVER." Yet, you know you'll be back, ready to play again, chasing that elusive high score.

Game Over
