KAT — Play Me Slow (EDM Festival Mix)

This one started as a warm reggae drift
and turned into something I never expected
a full on late night lights up heart rising dancefloor version

Pulsing synths rising like waves
a four on the floor beat that moves with its own desire
and a bassline that feels like breath meeting electricity

Sunset turning into neon
softness becoming pure energy

Shoutout to my friend Marol
who nudged me toward the electronic side
and made me curious enough to try something new
I did not plan it
I did not think it was my world
but the moment the beat opened
I knew
yes this belongs to me too

So here it is
my first step into the bright side of play life
wild in the best way
soft at the center
alive at the edges

Turn it up
let it lift you
let it move you

New track that I wrote recently.  A song about mistaken.identity.  Hope ya all like it.

I Went For A Walk.mp3

The Count of Monte Cristo, escapes, earns a fortune then destroys the lives of the people who betrayed him. You meet revenge in Hamlet, in Moby Dick and the film Carrie, as she enacts revenge on her cruel class mates. The Reign of Terror in the French revolution was all about revenge, as was the murder of Franz Ferdinand, which then triggered WW1.We come across it in in Kill Bill, The Gladiator, The Revenant and John Wick. Then of course there is Johnny Depp v  Amber Heard, songs from Talyor Swift about her ex-lovers and Donald Trump in his legal battles. Then there is the Jullian Assange Wiki leaks case, and numerous mass killings and murders. Revenge can be via meticulous planning or blind rage. It can be one act or a series of acts . There is also a blurred line between justice        ( liker Charles Bronson and Equalizer films) and a personal vendetta. 
The core motives for revenge are restoring justice and balance. That is is to ‘even the score’
or ‘ an eye for an eye’. It allows you to reclaim power and control, if you have been humiliated  or betrayed. It asserts identity and acts as a deterrent i.e. ’ this is what happens if you double cross me.’ Finally, there is a quest for emotional release i.e. getting even will bringing peace. Typically, these emotions are short lived, sometimes corrosive and replaced by negative vies e.g. guilt or shame or anxiety. It also chains you to the perpetrator for a long time.
Of course, revenge is not the only action you can take. You can declare your own part in the betrayal and walk away from it, to start again elsewhere and build a better life. It starts with self preservation before hopefully achieving some piece of mind. Revenge is an emotional debt that you pay the interest on every day. I like that I wish I had written that
This a revenge song. The man knows his wife has been unfaithful but he is in no mood to discuss it or even contemplate ‘’trying again’. He knows now that all he wants is revenge. He sings ,’ I just want revenge; I know that now. I just gotta work out, when and how. Not interested in me or the facts. She's trying to cover up her tracks’
He has previously made some attempt to reconcile but to no avail, He sings ‘’ Unavailable, cold and so distant. It's not right, not for a moment. I tried to ignite the spark with affection. Lucky if she even looks in my direction’
We then learn more about this doomed relationship, ‘Seen dates with guys on her phone
Blames it on me, on stress at home. I was sure, it’s what I knew deep down. Now home, after seeing a man in town’ So the cause of the problem seems to be stress at home and her new liaison. Well guess what, she is going to have more stress than she dreamed off when they go their separate ways. Sounds like he is relieved to bring everything out into the open when he sings, ‘Relieved not to have to sneak around. What I always suspected, beforehand. The heartbreak is wearing me out. Her betrayal, leaves me in no doubt’
On the other hand, she does not seem to feeling guilty at all and seems to have discussed it and even got approval from her family to call it a day. A verse in the song says  ‘But she’s not feeling guilty about me. What her family think, will be the key’ It turns out she also laughed at him when he attempted to remind her of happier times, i.e. ‘Gave her an old wedding photograph. I'm hurt; but does she need to laugh?’ His coping mechanism is to hit the bottle , He sings , ‘To fill the gap, may have turned to drink’. In the end he asks for a divorce in her birthday card ( thats novel), ‘I’ll ask for a divorce in her birthday card.A ten-year marriage lost, gonna be hard’. Is that the revenge he wanted or is there more ?

This song began with Chris composing it with his synth, guitar, drum pad and bass. Like many of his songs, it was pretty well formed before the rest of the group got a hold of it. This song was part of a load of songs he shared with the rest of Eclectic Collective all at once. We've been picking them off one by one, though, as we're always grateful to Chris for sharing his magic with us.
  The odd sound of the rhythmic melody, which uses chromatic walks, immediately caught Josh's ears. It struck him as something the Doors might have come up with. So, he set about replacing Chris' simple bass line with something fancier, as well as coming up with the lead guitar for the whole thing, and the lyrics and vocals, as well. Josh was really taken with this one, and heard all kinds of parts in it almost immediately. Ken went to bat next, adding his innovative, John Densmore-like drums to it, replacing Chris' initial rhythmic idea. JJ came next and added the essential piano you hear throughout. After that, Mark found a place for his amazing bassoon/harpsicord solo in the middle. But before it was all over, Chris also added some doubled vocals, too, to actualize the lyrics, which are about two friends taking an acid trip together. 
  After it was all laid down, we asked Tez to mix it for us, which he did in his expert fashion, as always.
  This is our latest song composed by Chris, and we love working on his music. If you dig this, you should pay his page a visit, too, as it's full of diamonds. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
Original lyrics by Josh Clary:
Come take a trip with me and together we will see
Into the end
Of time
That you are also me 
And I am also you
We’re in the soup
And in a loop

Underneath your skin 
You’re the same as I
Yet we strive  
To divide
If you want to blur the lines
Just dislodge yourself from time
Let’s fly
Let ego die


We’ll discover what is hidden,
And know why it’s forbidden 
So hold tight 
To what’s right
Just come along with me
And together we can see
Use the light 
Of night

You are also me and I am also you
It’s true
We’re in the stew
I am also you and you are also me
Just look inside 
And see
  
Just feel your temples squeeze
And put your mind at ease
And tune in
To my vibe
You can come along 
Just listen to the song
And melt 
With me

Down and down we go
We should take it slow
Unless we can’t 
We’re all ants
 I knew that we’d have fun
I knew you were the one
To do this with
Now we’re a myth

We could go all night 
Until the sun is bright
It’s a long 
Long ride

You are also me and I am also you
It’s true
We’re in the stew
I am also you and you are also me
Just look inside
And see
