Lyrics:
Starstruck from the twilight gleaming, just leave me alone
Thoughts of you keep my mind racing, I'll be fine on my own
You patched me up while I was hurting, can you feel my heartbeat
Still stuck to me for no reason, can't be your one & only

And now, I'm in need of something new
My feelings are so true, I hope they get through to you
Come take a look into my eyes
No matter space or time, I'm stuck in the twilight

(Twilight) I'm in my zone
(Twilight) Now I'm in my zone
(Twilight) I'm in my zone
(Twilight) Now I'm in my zone

And now, I'm in need of something new
My feelings are so true, I hope they get through to you
Come take a look into my eyes
No matter space or time, I'm stuck in the twilight

(Twilight) I'm in my zone
(Twilight) Now I'm in my zone
(Twilight) I'm in my zone
(Twilight) Now I'm in my zone
(Twilight) I'm in my zone
(Twilight) Now I'm in my zone
(Twilight) I'm in my zone
(Twilight) Now I'm in my zone

Stuck in the twilight

TC Rapha - Broken Savage (prod. by vinogradov)

Lyrics:
I can't get too comfortable, gotta break the habits
Going through the motions, yeah, whatever happens happens
Gon get hurt regardless so I'ma stay steady trappin'
This the tale of the cold-hearted broken savage, yeah
Cold-hearted broken savage, yeah
Cold-hearted broken savage, yeah
Cold-hearted broken savage, yeah

I told shawty, baby, we gon have some fun
Tre-5 wit a blunt, Tito's on the run
While we cruisin', yeah
Cuz I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't
Really give a fuck, heart sunk to my lungs
I just need some love, prayers sent above
I'm gon, I'm gon, I'm gon, I'm gon
Runaway, the great escape
From me, myself, and I, we're not the same
If I switch up, my twin's to blame
Call me, but I don't pick up, I've gone insane
Bipolar express, let's hop aboard dat train
I'm gon talk my shit so you can feel my pain
My life is a mess, got anxieties and stress
They came in like a wrecking ball, gotta catch 'em all
Cuz I know my destiny is that I'm next up

I can't get too comfortable, gotta break the habits
Going through the motions, yeah, whatever happens happens
Gon get hurt regardless so I'ma stay steady trappin'
This the tale of the cold-hearted broken savage, yeah
Cold-hearted broken savage, yeah
Cold-hearted broken savage, yeah
Cold-hearted broken savage, yeah

DAY N NITE  [Prod. POODIE]

In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Chicago creatives Greg Corner — bassist, DJ, promoter, and co-founder of the legendary Darkwave Disco parties. From playing bass with Kill Hannah to booking breakout artists at JBTV, Greg has lived through multiple eras of Chicago music and helped shape the city’s underground into a global influence.

He shares the journey from sneaking into raves and punk shows to sharing stages with icons, why the “bloghouse” years created a blueprint for today’s DJ culture, and what it really takes to build a scene. We dive into his philosophy on curation, taste, and trust, plus the challenges of breaking artists in a city that often celebrates its own only after they’ve left.

Greg also gives his perspective on the future: how AI could flood dance music, why bands may be poised for a comeback, and why real fans — not algorithms — still decide which art lasts.
