This is my favorite Skybreak tune ever omg ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

STREAM/BUY: https://hypeddit.com/halfblood

HALF BLOOD was never the album I expected to write. I was in the process of writing the album I thought others wanted from me, but nothing felt genuine. So this kinda started out as a sidequest - my attempt at taking established tropes of UK Bass music and spray painting them with my signature colorful sound design. But it became so much more. This record became a catalyst for rediscovering the roots of the genre. An ode to my heritage, both as a dual citizen of the US and UK and an electronic music fan at large. My bridge between the sounds and aesthetics of New York and London. Most importantly, a diary documenting the mistakes and growing pains of learning to become my most authentic self. I believe this to be my maturest body of work yet and I’m ecstatic to share this with the world.

Skybreak - HALF BLOOD

In 2021-2022, despite my newfound success in the electronic music scene, I ironically found myself at a creative low point. It was like I was cosplaying a distilled marketable version of myself. At some point, I stopped creating music for myself and instead started shaping my sound based on what I imagined others—fans, managers, friends, industry executives—wanted from me. It worked on paper and I still managed to write some music I love - but it was far more strenuous on my mental health than it needed to be. I convinced myself that anything I created that didn’t fit within the “Skybreak Coded” mold had to be ironic.

Through creating ironic art, I realized that only I can define what “Skybreak Coded” really means. It’s a thousand times repeated cliche, but by truly letting go of others perceptions of me and allowing my subconscious to take over, was my path back to creative nirvana. I figured it’d be kinda meta to write this song about that struggle to let go and become the most honest version of myself NOW. Toronto based Ana and Tyr seemed to resonate with this theme greatly. Since starting this tune, we’ve all become great friends, even performing this tune on stage together at the Rampage festival in Belgium.

In preparation to write this project, I deep dove into the roots of the genre to pay my respects to pioneers like Benga, Skream and Coki. The original Dubstep music that came out of Croydon, UK in the early 2000s just has a certain swagger and viscerality to it that I’d never explored in my music before. While it’s a little different sonically to the work these pioneers put down, CAN’T LET GO is my honest attempt to harness that swagger and fuse it with my signature colorful sound design. I hope you enjoy it <3
Lyrics:
Can't let go
I can't let go
Can't let go
I can't let go

Can't let go
Holding on to a part of me
Lost in identity
Only one that you know

Now I'm telling you honestly
Just who I wanna be
How can I let this go

And I'm trying to change
But my mind's playing games
And I'm hiding, I just can't show

How I'm feeling inside
All the words I can't find
And I'm breaking, I can't let go

You only see the highs, not the lows
I'm trying to free the lock on my soul
I'm not the one you think you know
Think you know

Can't let go
Can't let go
Can't let go
Can't let go

Get up

Can't let go
Can't let go
Can't let go
Can't let go
Can't let
Can't let

Skybreak - CANT LET GO (feat. flowanastasia)

STREAM/BUY: https://hypeddit.com/skybreak/anti-clg

I’ve been meaning to give the Drum & Bass genre a PROPER shot for a while now. I feel like there’s a stigma about Dubstep Artists making DnB since it’s such a vastly different workflow, and I was never confident enough in my technical chops to try to say something meaningful with the genre. But when I started HALF BLOOD, it felt like a good time to strike! I started ANTIMATTER at a time where I was RELIGIOUSLY bumping Noisia, The Caracal Project and Mefjus and this was my attempt at emulating the pocket that they all manage to obtain in every single tune. I bingewatched their tutorials/interviews trying to wrap my head around their music making philosophy.
 
Once the instrumental was done, I knew I wanted the lyrics to say something deeper than the average hype DnB song. It took a few tries to find a lyricist who was down for the extra challenge, but I came across a Brighton-based MC named Purple Velvet Curtains who agreed to work on the record and absolutely nailed it. The two of us resonated on this theme of how the feeling of glory and fame is cyclical - if you're tempted too much by ulterior motives and others perceptions, you lose the plot on why you really do this.

We wrote and recorded the whole topline in an intense six hour studio session in Croydon, London. I’ve been writing poems and song lyrics for my entire life, but had never attempted to write a Rap until this track. It was an extremely refreshing experience getting to collaborate on a new medium and PVC was patient with me throughout the entire process.

Lyrics:
It doesn't really matter
It doesn't really matter
It doesn't really matter
It doesn't really matter

Looking for sanctuary
Somewhere I can't escape from
We've survived for centuries, built off this miscreation
You idolize me, hoping one day I can save 'em
But everything you see is the result of my mistakes, yuh

No exception, I'm reckless in my coping
Pretending I'm invincible, my eyes still hard to open
Taken by the tide, now I'm drowning in the ocean
Thought I'd part the waves like Moses but can't seem to stay afloat
I hope you notice

It doesn't really matter
I find it hard to breathe but still make my city chatter
It doesn't really matter
Carrying this weight to make the world shatter

It doesn't really matter
I find it hard to breathe but still make my city chatter
It doesn't really matter
Carrying this weight to make the world shatter

Don't lose the plot on why you started
Get your mind in order 'cause your dreams are empty-hearted
Passion's turning jaded, thought my outer skin was hardened
But inside I'm feeling faded, we still searching for the answers
Let go of all these motives
Remember your goals
The lonely times on the train when you stared at your phone
Writing poems in your notes, take your eyes off the road
'Cause when nothing really matters, let the bassline roll

We let go
We let go
We let go
We let go

It doesn't really matter
I find it hard to breathe but still make my city chatter
It doesn't really matter
Carrying this weight to make the world shatter

We let go
We let go
We let go
We let go

This garden can’t bloom when I’m with you.

STREET GARDEN is about the sea sick feeling after you break up with someone. When a relationship becomes so wilted that you just have to put it down, but you spend weeks if not months second guessing your decision, fantasizing about if you could have salvaged the good times if you ‘tried harder’. 

Of all the tracks from HALF BLOOD, this one means the most to me because it literally helped me grieve one of the most tumultuous times of my life. Finally releasing this one to the world feels surreal; I can only hope it means as much to someone else as it did to me at my darkest points last year.

—————-

Paper cut on a train ticket to nowhere
In the end, you still found a way to bleed me dry
Sea sick on the waves of my decisions last night
The cities pass by
Could I be your light if I tried?

Could we be more than our mistakes?
What did you see through the decay?
We tend to the seed
But the soil's concrete

And maybe we're stained by our mistakes
Pesticidal love can't be maintained
We try to make do
But this garden can't bloom when I'm with you

Love sick on a subway ride to somewhere
Full carriage but I never felt so damn alone
Your stop's next
Remember when we used to ride?
I hate myself 'cause sometimes I still fantasize
The day you step onboard and I apologize
"Could I be your light if I tried?"

Could we be more than our mistakes?
What did you see through the decay?
We tend to the seed
But the soil's concrete

And maybe we're stained by our mistakes
Pesticidal love can't be maintained
We try to make do
But this garden can't bloom when I'm with you

While I showcased the more emotional side of this project with the first two singles, my goal with ‘STONE KOLD’ was to make the hardest banger I could. But to me, this track is arguably the most notedly ‘HALF BLOOD’; it’s got the energy of an American dubstep tune but the groove of a dutty garage tune you’d hear in a 250 cap club in Edinburgh. This one’s gonna be staying in my sets for a long time.

[Verse 1]
I’m a stone cold killa
Heart got iller
Dressed in black like Cilla
Everybody wanna be a driller
Till they see the monster in me like MJ up in Thriller
On that pillar
Where's your TikTok and Triller
I’m in that mode GloRilla
I got the power like Cain, life ain’t the same
I got my flowers, J Dilla
They won’t get this
Nowadays everything’s metrics
Stay on track like Scalextric
Watch it like Netflix
Tried to draw me out
But this veteran, they can’t sketch it
It gets hectic
Play the game like Tetris
Go in, then I exit
I put on for north, I was selected
I’m the final boss, it gets electric

[Build]
Anywhere I feature, belter, heater
Bassline bang through the speaker
Young Days in a Vauxhall Tigra
Now it's over boy, like Malika
Anywhere I feature, belter, heater
Bassline bang through the speaker
Young Days in a Vauxhall Tigra
Now it's over boy, like Malika


[Verse 2]
Yeah
Mana Man, don’t panic
Just came back from the mountains, dammit
A-game flow in the wars, I brang it
Don’t get caught in the rain, Titanic
I speak up and they still can’t ban it
Heart is pure, never been Satanic
I pull up and flip the dynamics
Jump in the ring just like Naseem Hamed
I hold the urn just like pallbearer
Word to Fat Joe, I bring terror
I’m a all-star just like New Era
I came out of the 80s clever
In a soundclash there’s nobody better
Been there, done that, I wore the sweater
Don’t get spun for a fake vendetta
Out here tryna be the greatest ever

[Build]
Anywhere I feature, belter, heater
Bassline bang through the speaker
Young Days in a Vauxhall Tigra
Now it's over boy, like Malika
Anywhere I feature, belter, heater
Bassline bang through the speaker
Young Days in a Vauxhall Tigra
Now it's over boy, like Malika
