EMPTY IS THE SOUL - FADED IN THE CROWD

written 1999 for a acoustic competition and an after breakup song

Day 1 - Purewave Mi

[Verse 1]
Every time he said, “This one’s it,”
I packed our life and made it fit.
Left my job, left my friends—
Started over all over again.

He’d get restless, burn it down,
Swear the next town would turn it around.
And like a fool, I’d follow close,
Tellin’ myself that’s what love does most.

[Verse 2]
But this time I said, “I’m stayin’.”
Got roots now, and the kids need savin’.
They’ve seen me cry, they’ve seen me bend,
Each time he chased some dream again.

He said I was scared to grow,
Blamed me for what we couldn’t hold.
Said I gave up on the life we made—
Then he took the job anyway.

[Chorus]
He always lands on his feet.
I land in pieces he don’t keep.
Every twelve months, a brand new plan,
Built on the back of where I stand.
This time, I didn’t beg or break—
And he took the job anyway.

[Verse 3]
He’ll say I gave up on “us,”
But what he wants ain’t love, it’s trust—
Without return, without the weight,
He wants a home he don’t have to make.

He said too much, now I see clear,
All the blame he packed for years.
He called it duty. I call it escape.
And he took the job anyway.

[Chorus]
He always lands on his feet.
I’m left rebuilding in the heat.
I won’t chase him through that door—
Not again, not anymore.
This time, I didn’t bend or stay—
And he took the job anyway.

[Outro]
Let him call it what he needs to.
All I know is I am through.
I’m not followin’.
And I’m not waitin’.
He took the job- 
I’m just sayin’.

[Final Chorus]
He always lands on his feet.
I land in pieces he don’t keep.
Every twelve months, a brand new plan,
Built on the back of where I stand.
This time, I didn’t beg or break—
And he took the job anyway.
Took the job anyway.

Anyway

What began as a small instrumental homage to Depeche Mode ended up like this. Could be worse, I think...

Left behind (feat. Hèrbé)

bounded by the retrogrades

Selin Dinçer delivers “Left Behind”, a deep and emotional journey through melodic techno. Blending atmospheric layers, hypnotic synths, and pulsating grooves, this track captures the feeling of moving forward while leaving echoes of the past behind. A perfect addition for late-night sets and introspective moments alike.

Selin Dincer - Left Behind (Melodic techno)

When you find out that your love was taken by someone who never, ever planned on staying. When you realize that you were used. 

Never Really There

Ahrix - Left Behind | Royalty Beats Release

Italian record label founded by Losso Marco and Romano Zanni, boasting over 20 years of experience across the electronic music spectrum. Segment Music is driven by a strong vision: delivering cutting-edge underground sound while exploring a wide range of styles — from Techno and Melodic Techno to Tech House, Deep Tech, Progressive House, Raw and Synthwave.

A home for forward-thinking artists and authentic, high-quality music.

I write songs for the haunted, the hopeful, and the ones who still ache. These aren’t tracks—they’re testimonies. If you’ve ever loved and lost, scroll no further.

Rooted in emotional clarity and cinematic depth, I create music not for the charts, but for the moments in between—when silence begs for understanding and melody carries the words we can’t quite say. Every track is written with intention, produced with nuance, and shaped by a relentless pursuit of honesty. No gimmicks, no templates—just songs built to resonate long after the final note.

From timeless orchestral movements to progressive rock textures, I don’t follow trends—I follows truth. And when the world gets loud with noise, my work leans into stillness, offering solace to anyone still listening with both ears and heart.

Welcome to the other side of music—the side that means something.

I’m JD Hodge — Oklahoma-born, red dirt-raised, and songwriting for over 30 years.

In 2024, I flatlined on an operating table. Cardiac arrest. Everything changed.

When I came back, the words came with me — like they’d been waiting their turn. Since then, the songs haven’t stopped. I write what’s real: struggle, hope, grit, and grace — stories meant to be felt.

You’ll hear pieces of my past, my people, and the kind of heartland truth you can’t fake. These songs aren’t just mine — they’re for anyone who’s fought through silence and still found a voice.

Retired • Lyricist • Country • Americana • Acoustic Soul
Oklahoma, USA

Bringing you the best copyright-free & promotional electronic music.
Genres: EDM, Dubstep, Future Bass, Trap, DnB ⚡

I’m just a chill dude who loves creating music and honest sounds.
Social media’s pointless to me 
that’s why I don’t have it and don’t need it.
I’m not chasing fame.
I’m chasing feeling. 🌌

Detroit raised.
Family made.
Heart first.

If you vibe with real stories, soft vocals, and music that feels like late-night honesty welcome.

D-Nox (born 06 December 1975) is a German DJ/producer and 1 time DJ Awards winner whose career in electronic music spans well over 25 years. Everything started for him with the electronic scene in his hometown of Düsseldorf in the early 90ties, branding his mark in the music community by also being a part of the duo D-Nox & Beckers who are responsible for various club hits since 2004 and are still currently releasing 16 years later on prestigious labels such as Bedrock, Suara and Sudbeat to name a few, as well as through D-Nox’s own record label Sprout Music. 
D-Nox has brought his sound all around the world with his international bookings as a DJ, keeping him constantly on the move with his travels every weekend, through Europe, down to Australia, across the Americas, and around Asia and Africa. D-Nox has an exceptionally outstanding career in Brazil where he has his biggest fan community.
D-Nox was born in East Germany, but his family escaped to the West of Germany before the wall went down in 1989. As a young boy, he fed his interest in music by recording music on cassette tapes, as there was no way to buy records in East Germany. It was only in the time that he and his family moved to the West, that he got access to all the music which he had been recording on tapes and this is when his real passion for collecting music was born. In the early 90ties he started to go out and meet people from the nightlife scene of his new hometown Düsseldorf. Düsseldorf has always played an important role in the underground music scene. Many important bands such as Kraftwerk come from Düsseldorf.
With the first money that D-Nox made after he had left school, he was able to buy himself all of the important equipment needed to start the art of mixing vinyl records.
Around 1992 was the first time he got booked to play in a nightclub and by 1993 he became a professional DJ. These early years made D-Nox one of the most booked DJs in his region, with numerous gigs in his hometown and other cities near by. In 2001 he started to work as A&R for the record label Tatsu. This job taught him even more about the music scene and inspired him to start his own record label Sprout Music in 2003.

Along with D-Nox’s change of location from Germany to South America, a few new collaboration partnerships in the studio were formed. One of them together with Victor Ruiz, one of the most demanded DJs of today.  Together Victor and D-Nox produced ‘Arise’ which was released on Sudbeat Recordings in 2016, the label belonging to Hernan Cattaneo. This track became one of the most played tracks in sets of DJ’s all around the world. They followed up this release, with a second best seller in 2017 on Sudbeat from Victor Ruiz and D-Nox, called ‚Pure’. Another new collaboration made with Stereo Underground, a very well respect producer from Israel „Dolby“ has reached number 1 in Beatport, the world wide leading digital store for DJs and was holding the top position for over 3 month. The pandemic month have d-nox become way more creative in his studio than he ever was before and his discography has just grown bigger and bigger. Its is now over 20 years that D-Nox is traveling all around the world and keeps on moving the dance floors.

Ambivalent indiewave projections of an optimistic nihilist - inspired by New Wave, 80s, Coldwave, Darkwave, Postpunk and some slightly misanthropic thoughts.
No label, no rules, just music, as it comes...
