~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"POKE" is a mixtape/compilation/thing, structured the same way as our 2017 "THAW" compilation.  The first 6 songs are from completely new musicians, who have never been on DESKPOP before, while the rest of the tracks are remixes of existing DESKPOP songs (with some of the remixers making their own DESKPOP debuts as well).

The title was decided upon because of the word's versatility.  As the first track by HiP CoLouR uses it, a poke can be to get someone's attention in a friendly but personal manner, as it implies physical contact.  "Poke" can also be used to describe how seedlings start to pop up out of the ground, similar to how the new producers on this compilation are poking their heads into the music industry.  And finally, a cactus will absolutely poke you if you mishandle it, so the word could have a more aggressive meaning attached to it, like how tracks from Cromulon Twins, pooldad & Low Poly have very in-your-face fun moments.

don't do anything else 
i said don't do anything else

don't look back
look alive
act like you don't want to die

360 no scope
you'll have to learn how to cope
yeah
do you know how to fight?
protect and serve
hold & stand steady
when you see the white of their eyes they should have been dead already

replenish this life
and restore your mind's eye

baby are you breathing?
baby are you breathing?
baby will you breathe one more time for our lonely hearts

give me your reason
why i shouldn't cry over you

cover the entrance 

sigh

Lyrics:

I'm trapped inside my dreams
a thousand worlds away
my legs are tired and freezin’
a crack down the thin layer of ice
But I won’t fall

as chunks start to drift apart
I zero in on the brightest spot
spring to my feet and show what I’ve got
and I won’t stop till I feel complete in my heart


somewhere in this frozen wasteland
hides a treasured epiphany
that I’ve been sleeping on
for so long


we race towards our dreams
our world’s breakin’ away
and when some finally make it
they’ll find there’s more than what meets the eye

I'm yours, glazen barrier
you keep me save, you're my carrier
you give me strength, I'm your warrior
and I can’t fall, for you fuel my roaring heart

determined, in search of someone with no face
I’m restless, prepared to set things straight
today’s your pay day
for all the things you’ve done (wo-oh-oh)
I’d lie if I was not grateful
you brought me in this world
gave me a chance
to repay you in double
