Fantasy

Placer sin remedio

Silk & Venom is a dark, sultry Alt-R&B experience that drips with power, passion, and bite. From jealousy-drenched glances across the room to bedroom dominance and magnetic midnight encounters, this EP explores the rawest edges of love, lust, and revenge.

lyrics:

I don't believe you ever lied
But if you did I don't blame you
You never needed a reason to leave
It's a damn good reason to

And as we are
As we are
We are apart

I don't believe I ever lied
But if I did I don't blame me
I never needed a reason to leave
It's a damn good reason to

And as we are
As we are
We are apart

[Instrumental Bridge]

And as we are
As we are
We are apart

lyrics:

If I die at 27
I think that'd be just fine
Be one of the pretty girls and boys who don't have to die twice
They'll call me a local legend, say
He never got his due
The papers will say nice things about me 
And I'll have the receipts to prove

I'll finally be happy
Happy
But I don't wanna die

I just wanna feel alive
Just wanna look in the mirror
And like who I see
I just wanna be
(I wanna like who I see)
I just wanna be
(I wanna like who I see)
I just wanna be
I just wanna be
I just wanna be
Happy

I'm a sad 90s kid
With a 1600 on the ACTs
I got a smile like Kurt Cobain and teeth like Freddie Mercury
I'm gonna work at McDonald's
Until they hire me
But my resume's a fucking mess 
Cause I never even learned to read

But I just wanna be happy
Happy
And I don't wanna die

I just wanna feel alive
Just wanna look in the mirror
And like who I see
I just wanna be
(I wanna like who I see)
I just wanna be
(I wanna like who I see)
I just wanna be
I just wanna be
I just wanna be
Happy

[Bridge]
I'll finally be happy
Happy
I don't wanna die

I just wanna feel alive
Just wanna look in the mirror
And like who I see
I just wanna be
(I wanna like who I see)
I just wanna be
(I wanna like who I see)
I just wanna be
I just wanna be
I just wanna be
Happy

HAPPY

This is my take on GITM by the King of Pop himself. Michael has always been one of my biggest inspirations, and I wanted to honor his legacy while giving the track my own sound and emotion.

Recorded and mixed with a raw, personal feel — no overproduction, just pure vocals and energy. I hope you can feel the passion that made MJ timeless.

lyrics:

If you knew
If you knew how long it took me to find him
If you knew
If you knew how many good men I passed up
To be with him
If you knew
If you knew how happy we were
Then you'd understand

I am not okay
And he is not okay
Now we go our separate ways
The summer blue
And we cry every day
And we still think all's the same
Now we go our separate ways
The summer blue
Summer...

If you knew
If you knew how hard it was to find love
If you knew
If you knew how many girls I passed up
To be with him
If you knew
If you knew how happy we were
Then you'd understand

I am not okay
And he is not okay
Now we go our separate ways
The summer blue
And we cry every day
And we still think all's the same
Now we go our separate ways
The summer blue
Summer...

Summer, summer
Summer, summer...

[Bridge]
It's hard to find a good man
It's hard to find a good man
It's hard to find a good man 
And the world needs more good men
(The world needs more good men)
(The world needs more good men)
(The world needs more good men)

I am not okay
And he is not okay
Now we go our separate ways
The summer flew
And we cry every day
And we still think all's the same
Now we go our separate ways
The summer blue
Summer...

Summer, summer
Summer, summer

lyrics:

You ask me if you're still enough
The answer is yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
You ask me if I will leave you
The answer is no, no, no, no, no

Oh
It was summer when we met
And by fall, we were in love
And no matter what, I love you, I love you

And if the sun don't shine and the rain won't fall
If I lose my way, I'ma make that call
If the seas won't part and the sky falls dark
Whatever you want, just say, say, say, say

Say
Say, say, say, say
Say

When you ask me if you're still enough
The answer will always be yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
No, I would never leave you
The answer is no, no, no, no, no

Oh
It was summer when we met
And by fall, we were in love
And no matter what, I love you, I love you

And if the sun don't shine and the rain won't fall
If I lose my way, I'ma make that call
If the seas won't part and the sky falls dark
Whatever you want, just say, say, say
If my heart breaks down and I lose my faith
I will hold you 'til I go to my grave
And the truth is love will come and fade
But I love you no matter what
No matter what

[Bridge]
(my faith)
No matter what
(my faith)
No matter what

And if the sun don't shine and the rain won't fall
If I lose my way, I'ma make that call
If the seas won't part and the sky falls dark
Whatever you want, just say, say, say
If my heart breaks down and I lose my faith
I will hold you 'til I go to my grave
And the truth is love will come and fade
But I love you no matter what
No matter what...

No matter what

NO MATTER WHAT

I disappeared from your system,
a ghost in the archive,
lost between your cache and memory,
a mismatch your code can’t resolve.

You reach for another login,
another interface to believe in.
But every process fails,
every request breaks on you.

You flinch like a critical error,
I see you digging too deep.
Your uptime was always zero,
so I cut the line,
uninstalled your hold on me.

I’m the ghost file you can’t recover,
the data you’ll never restore.
Your threads are haunted,
your nights fragmented.
I slip beyond your control.

You pushed no patch,
just gave me a way to escape.
Now I linger in your shadows,
lagging every thought you keep.

She logs in now, unaware,
her screen full of holes you never fixed.
Your loops repeat,
your lies compile.
I should tell her the crash is coming.

You freeze like corrupted code,
and I watch your system drown.
Your uptime was always zero,
I’m gone for good,
no rollback, no restart.

I’m the ghost file you can’t recover,
the data you’ll never restore.
Your threads are haunted,
your nights fragmented.
I slip beyond your control.

You ping into silence,
timeouts in every line.
You thought my endpoint stayed open,
but I revoked the key.

I’m still there in the error logs,
not a song, not a prayer, just noise.
Your uptime was always zero,
and I never needed
to come back alive.

I’m the ghost file (Alt RnB reload)

NO MORE (Prod. BY PRODWILLY)

Trippin in the night
I'm alive when the sun go down
I keep outta sight
Meet me in the underworld

Underworld
Underworld
Underworld
Underworld

All this for a price
Be precise
Now
Don't make a sigh
Meet me in the underworld

Underworld
Underworld
Underworld
Underworld

Stirring the cauldron with 
My herbs and spices
The stars in alignment
The price is crisis
The bass on the low end
I'm slowing my heartbeat
My fingers keep drumming
in time with my dancing feet

This here is my life
It's my way
Not a hobby now
I keep outta sight
Meet me in the underworld


The Underworld

Dark late-night vibes with heavy low end and atmospheric textures. this one blends moody r&b energy with cinematic strings and subtle vocal layers. Something in the lane of the weeknd, bryson tiller, or 6lack. perfect for late drives, reflective moments, or anyone looking for a trap-soul backdrop.

REDEMPTION

The entire sound is in my hands. I write cyber poetry, produce, and compose every track ready for Immersive 3D. Every beat is crafted for spatial and next-gen headphones.
Intimate lyrics, total immersion, every track.

For 30 years I kept unfinished demos to myself, never letting them out. Now I finish what I start and release it the moment it’s alive.

Shut up and Vibe ヽ(⌐■_■)ノ♪♬

A retired Nightclub DJ (BOLT/Amen, Boston/The Detour, SF), current Music Producer (21st Century Express), and freelance professional Sound Designer (AudioMind CSD), 21st Century Express creator and frontman Joe Hudson has a deep, complicated relationship with music & sound. Whether it's DJing as part of The IGLA (International Gay & Lesbian Alliance) summer Tour in Sitges, Spain and Paris, France, performing for a year Off-Broadway as Orlando Percheski in Jordan Roth's "The Donkey Show" at The El Flamingo Club in NYC, or acting as producer and frontman of 21st Century Express, his love affair with music has spanned decades.

A front row witness to San Francisco's nightclub heyday of the 1990's (Colossus, Atlas, Fag Fridays, Pleasuredome, Rhythm, Uranus, Spread, Universe - just to name a few), and inspired by the creme de la creme of San Francisco DJ's (David Harness, Alec Cunningham, Nikki Rivera, DJ Bugie, Pete Avila, Aaron O., Jan Cooley, Michael Garrett, Neon Leon, Blackstone, Jerry Bonham, Matt Consola - the list goes on and on), the lasting impression of both can be heard in every project he is a part of.
