I recommend listening on headphones for the full-on Neurospace experience.

Neurospace is where my mind goes when listening to crazy Neurofunk shit.
And this is my first attempt at making my own Neurofunk!

For the uneducated: 🤪
"(Neurofunk) is the fun-free culmination of jungle's strategy of cultural resistance: the eroticization of anxiety."

This is an unusual one for me as the change in dynamics doesn't come from a change of melody but only a change of instruments.

This is the first song from my EP "The Ascension of Dark Math"!

6/8 at 182bpm (DT), this must be a first for me. :)

You know that feeling of walking on eggshells? Imagine if they were made out of metal. It hurts!

Walking on Metal Eggshells

This is a track that transitions from Hiphop to Drum & Bass to Rock.

Originally called 'Instant Tragedy', this song was written around the start of the war and takes the Y2k22 bug (did you know there is also a Y2k38 bug?) as a metaphor for how humanity - probably the actual bug - is destroying everything and how poorly this year is already going for the world.

Lyrics:

Y2k22, what's the damage?
it seems so different from the original, as it
broke IT systems, but this time
we broke society, yep, we absolutely smashed it!
you can read all about it online, all the crashes
but nothing about how to fix all this madness
it’s very different from then at the turn of the century
back when this habit/ wasn't yet established
Now if there's information out there, I gotta have it
so I'm always eager and ready to go down the rabbit
hole, but not back then when I was like a savage
not that things are really that civilized now, has it
even improved since then on average? I don't know
every single ad is/ a distraction, that's the leverage
making you pay premium to enjoy the advantage
of easy access to content and brand message

Y2k22

Metallic Bass

Lyrics:

Hook:

waiting, waiting, waiting
I hate waiting, waiting, waiting
even though I keep others waiting too
I hate waiting, I hate waiting


I'm Waiting…										
for the bus to come/ I must become
more patient, otherwise I'll be busting some
heads, which is out of character
trust me son/ I'm Waiting... 
for the subway to work again/ It's getting 
on my nerves again/ don't leave me hanging, I gotta get to work, my man
I'm Waiting...
for the internet to reconnect/ 
between stations/ cuz this place is
so backwards, it's gotta get really wrecked
it's about damn time, cuz I've been waiting
For people to respond to my messages
you can't imagine how much I'm stressed by this
Waiting to see what my next adventure is

Waiting

This song is dedicated to my grandmother, may she rest in peace.

Lyrics:

Hook:
You are the strongest woman I know							
Mama Alma, Mama Alma
Some things just come, and some things just go
Mama Alma, Mama Alma
you gave me so much, it’s forever I know
Mama Alma, Mama Alma
I’ll always carry you with me wherever I go
Mama Alma, Mama Alma

Verse 1:
so resilient/ I’ll never forget							
you were so brilliant/ and commanded respect
so multi-talented in every aspect
a great dancer and seamstress, and a great chef
so many books you introduced me to
you always made sure to induce me to
learn about the world, read as much as I can
which made me the curious person I am

Bridge:
I didn't realize, how much you 							
shaped the person I've become
cuz it was you, who I got 
many of my talents from

Verse 2:
I love dancing… just 									
like you did… I can't stand still
when I can feel/ the beat 
and rhythm of the music
it's just so natural/ and so effectual							
just like speaking languages
Tu me manques/ Te extraño/
I miss you/ Ich vermisse dich
you're not dead, no chance								
cuz you're living through me every time I dance

Outro:
Mama Alma, delam baratoon tange								
bedoone shoma, tamame donya birange
tanha yadegari ke wassam moonde, in ahange
harwakht be fekre shoma hastam, ghalbam milange

Mama Alma

This interlude commemorates the time when I showed my nephews how to fly a kite. 💙

A boy and his kite

The feeling of being stuck in a waiting loop.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Ich häng in der Warteschleife/ wo ich Phrasen schreibe
phasenweise/ ist das Leben nichts anderes als'n Fragezeichen
wie soll ich mein’ Plan erreichen/ wenn die wahren Feinde
mit auf dei’m Pfad rumschleichen/ so wie in ner Pfarrgemeinde
wenn Tageszeiten/ nie g’rade bleiben/ sondern nur schaden, bleiben	
dir wenig Stunden am Tag, wie zwischen den Jahreszeiten
das Leben rau wie Nagelfeilen/ zwar schon fast am verzweifeln
lass mich nicht von Panik treiben/ schon gar nicht in harten Zeiten
denn ich kann das gar nicht leiden/ da bin ich wahrlich eigen
wenn ich denn schon untergeh, dann nicht auf so ne Art und Weise
wenn ich meine Parts hier schreibe/ gibt es keine Klageschreie
das wäre ein Armutszeugnis/ ich bleib chill wie Hasenheide


Verse 2

Endlich bin ich raus aus der Warteschleife/ raus 
aus Verfangenheiten/ raus in die lange weite/ Welt! 
endlich raus aus der Langeweile/ darauf wartete ich 
schon ne lange Weile/ weil mir das Gefangen-Sein misfällt
nun erleeb ich so viel Abenteuer/ wenn ich durch Staaten reise
die mir die Welt so zu bieten hat, und manchmal bleibe
ich auch länger denn ich will nen besseren Eindruck von da erreichen
und schau'n ob ich nicht nen Platz find' zum da verweilen
schließlich passt das wunderbar mit mei'm Job und meiner Arbeitsweise
neue Erlebnisse verjüngen das Hirn, drum bleib ich auf Trab und zeige
was noch möglich ist, frech und vorlaut wie'n paar Naseweise
und ich weiß ich kann's mir leisten/ denn ich weiß, was ich leiste
und ehrlich gesagt, man kann nicht immer artig sein wenn
jemand drauf nicht klar kommt, dann lässt sich halt gar nichts deichseln
weil ich mittlerweile so alt bin, dass ich drauf wahrlich scheiße

Warteschleife

This song 
is for those moments 
when life deals you a bad hand.

Just stay strong
and don't give a fuck.

This song resolves one of my two longings.

Lyrics:

I already told you 									
in a previous song
about my longing
to see this world

It finally came true
I’m where I belong
And happy to tell you
that finally this longing was

Hook:

Satisfied										
I won this fight
I am satisfied
Satisfied
I am satisfied

Hook											


I am											
the happiest I’ve ever been
And ready
for what I have never seen

Earth has so much to offer								
so much stuff to cover
there’s no one to stop her
like an evergreen
So many things to see
the joy it brings to me
thereby convincing me
that it is the rarest thing
earth is our mother
there’s simply no other
reminding each other/ that
we have no Planet B
there to see/ where to be
readily/ dare to speak
won’t stay forever green
that’s our reality

...satisfied.

A special song for a very special lady. ❤️

Lyrics:

Verse 1

I love night life with you/ I love high life with you
every night out is a highlight with you
I just fucking love being in your presence
It's like you’re filling me with life's essence
I'll always be your light in the darkness
I'm always with you, right where my heart is
Thinking of you, when I’m laying in bed
always wishing I was with my baby instead
Focussing my mind, body and soul on you
Extending my arms, wi th nothing to hold on to
all I can feel, is the absence of you
but never wanna talk in the past tense 'bout you
missing your warmth, your face, the beauty of you
such a cutie with juicy lips, tits and booty like you
I miss that magical shine that's all around you
all I wanna be, is all around you!


Hook (2x)

Everywhere, everytime
With You
Wherever, I wanna be
With You
Everything’s better when I’m
With You
I wanna be forever
With You


Bridge 1

When I think of you									
it makes me wanna sprint to you
no place too far for me
I’m just that much into you
all I want is be with you
so I’m out here seeking you
No matter how hard it gets
I wanna see it through


Verse 2

I'm laying in bed, still enchanted by you
Reminiscing 'bout smiling and dancing with you
About the day my heart was stolen by you
since then our love has been growing and you
make me so happy, I didn't know it was you
the love of my life, and girl I'm so into you!
Every moment apart/ puts a strain on my heart
but I'm strong for you, ja für dich bin ich stark
moving heaven and earth, from below and above
Cuz seeing you smile, makes me happy my love
for there's no one better than you
All I know is I wanna be forever with you


Bridge 2

you're the Value to my Village
you’re the Comfort to my Zone
you’re the love of my life
and the one who feels like home

you’re the Ginger to my Ale
the Cider to my Batch
the Cherry to my Beach
and the Phantom to my Fest

you’re the Bovine to my Bass
you're the friendship to my brace/let
the Green to my Wood
you’re the neighbour to my hood

you’re the Tim to my Horton’s
no one is more important 
the Honey to my Bee
with you is where I wanna be

Resurgence/Rebirth, because I've become more active in music production again, but also because:

What I’ve gained, is clarity
It pulls you in, like gravity
It comes from within, the serenity

I gave you love, but you see me as your enemy
Your fallacy’s
Not scaring me 
Not anymore, that’s for sure

Can’t say for sure… it makes me sad

Emotionally - Do you still love me?

Kamihamiha! - Shark In A Shotglass (Shani Ace Remix)

This is the first single from Headradio as well as my first collab with Aimée Britannia.
2020 started with a lot of pain (both emotional and physical) and heartbreak for me, I could barely sleep or function at all. One day I poured all of those emotions into this beat.
Later on, Aimée picked up on those feelings, she wrote and recorded the perfect lyrics and vocals that captured/expressed exactly what I was feeling. It was a really great start that laid the groundwork for our second collaboration.

Out now on Spotify & Apple Music: https://www.gate.fm/DDfOReMR

Days like this (feat. Aimée Britannia)

This was a late addition to Headradio and the first time I made something Trap-like, even though I sure like that heavy bass.
So I call this genre Glockentrap, because of the bells (aka glockenspiel) it is built around. Some people also said it sounds spooky.
This tune certainly gave me some severe earworms, so you better watch out! 😂

Bell Air

I call this genre Metalstep because it combines elements of Metal with Dubstep and/or Dnb.

MUSIC VIDEO

The world is on fire

I would summarize my music as Strum & Bass.
A fusion of bass music and guitar music. 

(Dnb, Future Bass, Dubstep, Dub, Rap, Rock, Metal)

My producing & recording journey started in 2002. Around that time I was also playing live gigs as a rapper & singer in a band and always felt at home on stage, which comes to no surprise as the child of a professional musician. I just grew up improvising on all kinds of instruments, so the addition of singing and rapping - especially freestyle - as well as electronic music production was just a natural progression from that.
