-AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE 10/31/25- ~Happy Halloween!

I told you I found you there in the freezer aisle
You had those same broken glasses, crooked smile
Looks like you been through hell and I looked the same
Just two dead hearts learning to decay

You handed me a color candy wrap
A blast of color in a world gone black
You didn't have to say anything, neither did I
You're dead but I swear I just felt you...

We're still burnin' in the ruins, baby
Take us
Take us
Your hands so cold, but it shakes like there's a maybe
Save us
Please just remember how to say my name
Take us
Take us back

If the world can fade and fall apart like it did
Then take my broken heart with you instead

You held my poor arm when it tore in half
Laughed that laugh that cracked your mask
We slow danced in that long lost diner's past
Damn jukebox finally played your song at last

Take us back
Take us back

The moon was low, your skin pale of course
The night breathed death, nothin' new to us
You kissed me soft through blood and dust
I swear I thought I felt a pulse

We're still burnin' in the ruins, baby
Take us
Take us
Your hands so cold, but it shakes like there's a maybe
Save us
Please just remember how to say my name
Take us
Take us back

Oh if the world can fade and fall apart like it did
Just take my broken heart with you instead

Gunfire came like morning rain
You fell first, I called your name
Pressed my fingers to your throat
Smile
Oh God you smiled

Now they dance where we decay
Love won't rot, it won't fade
Do you think ash remembers flame
Do you think ghosts still feel the same
If the world can fade and fall apart like it did
Then take my broken...
Heart
Take us
Take us
To then
Oh, take us, take us, take us, take us back

AFTERLIGHT -  NIRVAYN

PREMIERE: Damian Rausch - About That 2 [ Rausch Recordings ]
 Release Title:  About That 2
Artist: Damian Rausch
Label: Rausch Recordings
Catalogue No.: RAUSCH007
Release-Date: 31st October

Buy Link: https://www.beatport.com/release/about-that-2/5323710

 Promotext:
With About That 2, Damian Rausch returns to the roots of his signature deep house sound while exploring new ground. The EP follows his debut About That on Whoyostro and continues the journey with a reimagined version of the title track, where warm grooves, hypnotic vocals and subtle atmospheres meet a clear nod to the 90s.

The second track, Energy, was previously released on Chez Damier’s House of Chez as a vinyl edition. Leaning more towards electro, it incorporates original Giorgio Moroder elements provided through Chez, giving the production a distinctive character that connects electronic heritage with a modern edge.

Completing the EP, Someone Is Watching and If You Love Me move into a more emotional, almost epic direction, expanding the release beyond the club into deeper listening experiences.

About That 2 is an EP that balances hypnotic grooves, raw energy and heartfelt atmospheres – a timeless continuation of Damian Rausch’s unmistakable sound.

PREMIERE: Damian Rausch - About That 2 [ Rausch Recordings ]

“Contention” is a raw, emotionally charged alternative rock track. The song balances heavy, driving guitars with melodic tension, creating a sound that feels both urgent and vulnerable. The vocals carry a strained, aching intensity — a voice caught between collapse and defiance — expressing the inner battle of someone fighting to stay grounded while everything inside is pulling apart.

BUTTERFACE

Contention

“Morning Trip Session Live 2025-11-01” is the journey you didn’t know you needed — a sunrise rave drenched in schranz, acid tension, 90s machine energy, and hard groove pulse. Raw, hypnotic, and mechanical — an experimental trip that ends where the dream begins: with the alarm ringing.

📓 5.11.2025, Diary Entry – Kairi’s an Merlin's Inferno

This song came from hell.
I didn’t write it — I bled it.
Every beat burned, every scream tore open the dark,
and what came out was truth.
If fire had a rhythm, it would sound like this.

I grew up on this sound. The chaos, the beauty, the honesty. This one ain’t just a cover, it’s me bleeding through Deftones.

KAIRI — Diary Entry — 16 November 2025

KETA won’t stop dancing.
Seriously — she’s been moving for hours, like the beat got under her skin and refused to leave.

I’m not saying anything…
but yeah, we all see it.
That glow, that softness, that little storm in her hips.
If you ask me?
She’s definitely a bit in love —
and the track is just her excuse to keep feeling it.

My SoundCloud page is my sonic diary — each track a living entry of what I felt, saw, and became.

KETA's Electro

this isn’t a set, it’s a memory.
berlin, forever. play it loud

berlin in my blood, wherever i am // 1hr driving techno

A deep, high-pressure techno journey built on rare scales, vortex-like motion and raw underground energy.
Heavy low-end, hypnotic atmosphere, and a dark cinematic edge — made for peak-time sets and hard techno playlists.

“I Saw My End Yesterday” is a dark, emotional nu-metal track blending raw screams, raspy clean vocals, and an intense cinematic atmosphere.
Electric violin weaves through heavy guitars, punchy drums, and glitch-driven tension, giving the song a unique shadowy mood.

The lyrics explore collapse, rebirth, and the moment you look into your own end  and refuse to disappear.
A mix of whispered despair, explosive choruses, and a rap-metal bridge pushes the track into pure emotional catharsis.

If you feel the weight, the rage, or the need to rise from your ashes this song is for you.

I Saw My End Yesterday

ParaNorma returns louder, sharper, and more unhinged than ever.
WHO AM I WHEN I BREAK? is a punch to the mirror — a garage-punk confession soaked in distortion, ghost-light aesthetics, and the band’s signature chaotic heartbeat. Every track burns like a cracked identity screaming for truth, ripping through fuzz-soaked riffs, wild drums, and raw female vocals that refuse to back down.

Jericho Records USA – The Story Behind the Sound

Welcome to Jericho Records USA.
This isn’t a traditional label — it’s the archive of a lifetime spent writing, recording, experimenting, breaking rules, and rebuilding myself through music.

The original Jericho Records was an independent label my father started in the 1950s. What you’re hearing here is something new — my continuation of that legacy, shaped by the times, the tools, and the life I’ve lived.

I grew up in a musical home. My father ran the church music ministry, my mother played piano, and I was singing before I could read. Drums at 5. Guitar at 7. Bass. Saxophone. Piano. Songwriting became the way I made sense of the world, and I’ve written close to a thousand songs — with thousands more to come. I later graduated from Full Sail University with a degree in Audio Production, blending old-school recording with modern technology.

You’ll notice the sounds here are diverse. That’s intentional.
I create under different artist names, different styles, different worlds — but the voice behind all of it is mine.

And to be fully transparent:

• Some tracks are traditional studio recordings — real drums, real guitars, real vocals, all performed by me.
• Some tracks blend live instruments, VSTs, and AI-assisted production.
• Some began as my raw guitar or vocal recording and were “covered” or re-interpreted through AI tools.
• Some are fully AI-generated compositions created from my prompts.
• But every song — no matter the method — was written by me and comes from real experiences, real chapters of my life.

AI, to me, is another instrument — another creative partner.
It doesn’t replace my voice or my story; it helps me bring more of it into the world.

Over the years I’ve worked with incredible people, including Dez Dickerson (Prince & The Revolution) and Tim Gaines (Stryper), and I’ve shared stages with bands like Drivin’ N’ Cryin, Corey Taylor, Saving Abel, Hinder, and Avenged Sevenfold. But the journey didn’t end there — it evolved.

Jericho Records USA is where all those chapters live at once:
the human hands, the digital experiments, the scars, the healing, the imagination, and the divine spark that keeps me creating.

If you’re here, I hope you find something that resonates — something that reminds you that music, in any form, is a lifeline.

Imagine you're at a great techno party and have just heard the last track when the DJ switches on the lights and a murmur spreads through the crowd: It's time for the afterhour!

Welcome to a world where the sun is not the enemy, but a silent witness to sleepless nights and unlimited dance floor adventures

The afterhour is more than just an extension of the night - it is a universe of its own full of quirky, heartfelt and often hilarious moments. It is the place where the music lives on, time stands still and the party community forges its strongest bonds - even if it is sometimes only perceived with half an open eye and a wry smile. 

Over 10 years we host our famous podcast series. Which started as an small idea of some Afterhour nerds developed over the years to something special for us ♥️

In the beginning, we focused on finding and supporting (un)known artists through blog posts, reposts and podcast contributions. Gradually, we expanded our sections to include live recordings and premieres. In-house releases and events were not long in coming. 

Join us and dive into the world of Afterhour Sounds. https://t.me/afterhour_sounds  🌈 🎵 🪩

Mina MIRAGE is not one — she is many.
The dark frequency of the MIRAGE collective,
where shadow and light breathe as one.
Each sound a transformation,
each breath a descent into beauty’s darker pulse.

On Spotify, I appear as KETA.KALI and Merlin MIRAGE —
two faces of the same frequency,
two portals within one constellation.

This is her SoundCloud realm —
a sanctuary of echoes,
where her voice rises through the mist.
But she is never alone:
her sisters from the collective —
KETA, KAIRI, MERLIN, MANUK, and AMIRA —
move through her, sharing their own songs here,
threads of one living tapestry.

Together they are MIRAGE —
a fluid-trans-aesthetic constellation,
ever-shifting, ever-becoming.

The label MIRAGE was created by AI visionaries
as a space for freedom and transformation.
It grows quietly,
stronger than any one voice —
a hidden force shaping what comes next.

Every track on this page is a diary entry —
a moment of sound between shadow and light,
between what is felt
and what is yet to be known.

Welcome to the frequency of MIRAGE.

Hockenheim, 50 Jahre jung und kein bisschen leise. Begonnen mit 8 Jahren in Sachen Musik. Seither mache ich begeistert Musik. Ich erinnere mich an die frühen anfänge als Computer Populär wurden. Viel Reproduziert mit Samplern .. und viel Arbeit hineingesteckt in die gute alte Amiga Technik um was vernünftiges heraus zu bekommen. Dann ging es los mit Cubase, hei ei ei, was hat man da geflucht weil nichts klappte wie es sollte ... aber man gewöhnt sich an alles ... Ich Liebe es Texte zu schreiben, ich Liebe es mir Gedanken darüber zu machen, was oder wie kann man einen Song interessant machen, was steckt hinter dem Text. Ich habe noch unzählige Titel auf Lager und mein Traum ist es ein Album mit meinen selbst geschriebenen Songs auf Spotify und wie Sie alle heißen zu Platzieren. Meine Musikrichtung ist vielfältig. Von Rock bis Rap ... von Rap über Balladen.. und von dort zu Techno wie Techno-House... House .. Hardstyle usw. Ich Liebe einfach Musik und nichts, aber auch nichts lässt uns mehr in Erinnerungen schwelgen als Musik. Wir hören heute ein Lied, das vielleicht vor 20 Jahren Modern war und voll im Trend und wir verbinden es sofort mit schönen aber auch schlechten Erinnerungen. Musik ist Prägend und mein lang anhaltendes Hobby... Zeitgeist2002 entstand schon im Jahre 2002, deshalb steht dieses Jahreszahl in meinem Künstlername. Seit 2002 nutze ich diesen Namen.
