@voyageloveblank

Ay, like a way I like your way

‘Cause, yeah, I like your day

This such a banger, like my brain

‘Cause, yeah, I like my track

야 진지 빼, 짐짓 해

‘Cause, life is like a game

I feel the pain, I feel the rain

‘Cause, bitch, I want revenge

난 진실만 말했어

너의 아픈 곳을 정확히 짚은 때처럼

원래 진실은 잘 지워지지도 않어

싱크대의 찌든 때처럼

해서 범죄는 타투와 같어

뭘 갖거나 팔건 어제처럼

더러워지는 거지 텔레비전

철판 깔고 인터뷰 하는 저 새끼처럼

그런 데 신경 쓸 시간 없어

우리 삶은 계란

처럼 품거나 팔거나 깰 수도 있어

그럼 아마 품는 게 나아

엄마의 피에 젖은채 남자로 태어나서

대가리 못될 바에 차라리 죽는게 나아


@highonyou-431753868

난 시작부터 달랐거든 그런 놈들과는

뒤에서 친구 욕이나 하는 그런 놈들 말이야

팀이라 하고 뒤통수를 쳐 맞았지

어쩌면 내가 호구새끼 였던 거지 생각하면 말야

사랑했던 집단은 적군이 됐고

노력으로 갈군 땅은 황무지가 됐어

진심이던 힙합은 소음 취급 받고

랩을 하는 나는 이제 찐따 새끼가 됐어

5만원의 mic

비싼 돈을 들인 오인페가 이제 빛을 발하기를 나는 기도하고 있지

내가 걸은 길이 잘못된 길이 아니기를

나는 매일밤 침대위에서 빌어대고 있지

Like Rick and Morty

IDGAF about it

정신차려 새꺄 여긴 맞지 전쟁통이

돈 벌기 빡세지

10만원에 만족하는 너완 달리 100으로도 만족이 안되지 나는

Don't tryna fuck with my team squad

부르지 같이 노래

Don dada she call me big daddy 항상 많지 shawty

So high when I rap

이 기분에 랩을 하지 너네같은 벌레들은 절대 모를 feeling

정대만은 아니지만 이 소리가 날 몇 번이고 되살리지

In Your Arms

The bark glows deeper on the tree,
A stranger smiles, and time breathes free.
The wind shifts tone to meet my grace,
The field can feel I’ve left the race.

I Walk The World

“Deeper” is the synth-funk-influenced second track on Ouroboric.

Lyrically, the song is about the album’s protagonist “sinking deeper” into their journey of isolation and beginning to dabble in substances to cope with it.

Electrique Boutique 28 2.7.25

This track started off with a question that lead to a premise that lead to...Interbay.  (Everything leads to Interbay, eventually.)  

The question is...what would Prince or Rick James or Parliament/Funkadelic sound like if instead of being funk artists who allowed themselves to be influenced by new wave, they were funk artists influenced by modern electronic dance music?  

The premise is...they'd use the new modern sounds to make their music sound..."more."  

Well, this is track is definitely "more."  

What I've come up with here is that specific variety of rock funk pushed to the limits.  Neuro bass joins slap bass guitar.  Keyboards are squidgey and distorted and everywhere.  Add some very P-funk vocals and a couple of snippets of dialogue from a classic blacksploitation film (bonus Interbay points for anyone who knows which one!) and you end up with "Bout To Turn It Out".  

Early on, it may feel oppressive or claustrophobic.  The neuro bass fills up a lot of space that you'd expect in a funk song.  Not only that, but the vocals start off singular and a bit weak.  As the track continues, space is added and the singular voice turns into a group chorus.  

I think it works.  I'll be interested in what you think.  

Now, regular Interbay listeners will be familiar with my calls for everyone to listen, like, repost, etc.  For more than a year, that's worked out pretty well...but occasionally, the algorithms would just skip a song every so often...and deserving songs would unfairly be ignored and unlistened to...  

...well, this has now happened three times this week...including the two days prior to this one.  

Perhaps the algorithm changed?  Perhaps the strength of SoundCloud's recommendation program has started to evaporate?  I don't know--but I've gotten used to the "every song gets at least 140 listens and some get far more" expectation...so, seeing track listens in two digits...or, gulp, single digits...is disheartening.  

So, if you have the time...I would definitely appreciate if you gave this track a listen...and then, go back and check out some other Interbay tracks.  They're all very different and all very Interbay at the same time.  You might find a new favorite!  (...one that would be worthy of shares, reposts, playlist adds and, hopefully, likes!  Feel generous!  It all helps.  Really.  And thank you!)  

If you like the wild ride that this Interbay music project takes you on, give this page a follow, too.  There are new tracks being dropped EVERY SINGLE DAY (for well over a year, so far) and it might be fun to hear what's new each day.    

...because we 'bout to turn it out.  



"Bout To Turn It Out" *SoundCloud Exclusive*

As often seems to be the case, this track changed a lot over night.    

I was opening a brand new empty project with no particular ideas in my head.  I saw that I had a plugin that offered some drum sounds and patterns that might be good for hyperpop--a genre that I don't think I've officially tried to do, but one that my kid seems to get into.  

I still haven't attempted to do hyperpop, because I'd forgotten that the tempo of the project had been pre-set to 103bpm, rather than the ludicrous speed that a lot of hyperpop travels at...  

But there was something compelling about hearing this particular pattern and the sounds that go with it played at a tempo it was never meant to be played at.  I let it play over and over again...I was mesmerized and I thought it was already very cool.  And the only thing that I could do would be to ruin it.  ;)  

Oh yeah, I Interbay'd all over this drum pattern and sound--but, surprisingly, I believe I showed more than my normal amount of restraint.  For a change, when I describe an Interbay track as being "minimal"--this time, I'm not kidding...it's really minimal.

And yet, funky.  Helped by a vocal chop that when I added an echo effect to it, these non-articulate chopped up sounds suddenly sounded like they were saying "Aero-funk" in various configurations, over and over again.  

Now, I have NO idea what Aerofunk is--but doesn't that SOUND cool?  I thought so, so I added a deeper male voice that is ACTUALLY saying "Aerofunk" and I have it matching up, more or less, I think there's an Arrow where a Funk should be in at least one part of the loop.  

And that's when I realize what this was all reminding me of...  Prince's Sign O The Times album, specifically the title track and, even more so, "Hot Thang."  That is an underrated track in the Prince catalog--a display of expert minimalism and the joy in repetition and how only a few precise sounds can work so well...a lot of the credit goes for the spaces in between the sounds.  

So, as I was falling asleep after enjoying a plate of bucatini that my kid made for me, that's where I left things...and what I thought I was making.  It seemed obvious to call the track "Aerofunk" but I didn't name the temporary project file that, instead, I named it "Gossamer."  

Over night, in between some frighteningly realistic and intense dreams (I blame the bucatini--not that it wasn't good, it was just too much, too late), I woke up and had a completely different idea in mind.  (But, I kept all the cool parts from what I'd already done--so, Aerofunk now means nothing in particular to the track...just...something...very...Interbay.)  

Gossamer, the blanket of cobwebs that can stretch across grasslands and around trees, gave me an image of something fragile, breakable...whose beauty is often overlooked.  And that's where Piper comes in.  She's our main vocalist on this track--though she doesn't ever say Aerofunk.  

Piper is saying my words, my thoughts, my fears...and my vulnerabilities.  (If you haven't noticed, I'm a bit of a mess.)  And yet, in coming up with the words I wanted Piper to say...I found myself wanting to give myself a happier ending, and perhaps some motivation to change my circumstances?  I hope someone other than me can relate to all this...  

Gossamer can seem scary (after all, spiders...ugh) but it isn't that big of a deal.  It doesn't have to hold you back.  

So, not exactly "Hot Thang."  

Hope you like it.  Listen, like, repost, share, comment, playlist and follow (or any combination of those if it includes listening to "Gossamer.")  And please follow for more Interbay, daily drops of new tracks continues and you wouldn't want to miss any!

A demo track by Dream Fiend for the Dreamstate soundbank for u-he Diva (https://dreamfiend.bandcamp.com/)

Flowstate - Dream Fiend

 Uh, yeah…  
Push it now… come on…  

I could stand here night and day  
Feel the motion pull my way  
I call the rush, it has to stay  
It’s the sound that makes me sway (just push it now)  
And when I feel that line  
It lifts me up, it breaks my spine  
I lose the floor, the world’s not mine  
It’s driving my soul tonight  

Push it, push it, light it up  
Electric fire fills my cup  

Push! (yeah)  
Come on push me hard  
Push it through the dark  
Just light it up and start the spark  
Push! (oh)  
Come on push me higher  
You know it feeds desire (push it, just push me higher)  
Light it up, light it up  
I’m never stopping all night long  

Push it (push it), push it (push it)  
Push it till it’s gone  
I don’t care if morning’s moving on  
Turn it up, it keeps me strong  
Keep rushing all night long  

It feels so sharp, it cuts so deep (so deep)  
It shakes my skin, it kills my sleep  
Whenever the sound is mine  
If it ends, I will press rewind (push it back again)  
Let me feel it one more time  

Push it, push it, light it up  
Funk vibration in my blood  

Push!  
Come on push me hard  
Push it through the dark  
Just light it up and start the spark  
Push!  
Come on push me higher  
You know it feeds desire (push it, just push me higher)  
Light it up, light it up  
I’m never stopping all night long  

I just wanna move, is that a crime?  
Alright then — ooh, uh, oh (alright)  
Yeah, that’s the madness right there  
Push, push, push, push!  

Push! (woo)  
Come on push me hard (now take me higher)  
Push it through the dark (I’ve asked you louder)  
Just light it up and start the spark  
Push!  
Come on push me higher  
You know it feeds desire (push it, just push me higher)  
Light it up, light it up  
I’m never stopping all night long  

Push it… push it…  
Just push it higher…  
All night long…  

Push (Electro Funk Pop reload)

Step into a retro-futuristic universe where neon lights, 80s nostalgia, and modern electronic energy collide. This track blends the infectious grooves of disco and funk with the shimmering synth textures of synthpop, inspired by the golden age of analog synths and retro drum machines. Infused with the cinematic mood of The Weeknd’s retro vibe, cyberpunk-inspired nightlife, and the dreamy tones of vaporwave, the song creates a timeless soundscape that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

The driving funky bassline, upbeat retro drums, and colorful analog synths capture the spirit of crowded dance floors, glowing city nights, and euphoric escapism. Designed for fans of synthwave, k-pop crossovers, disco revival, and retro electronic pop, this track brings together high-energy rhythms with an emotional, nostalgic atmosphere. Perfect for late-night drives, neon-lit parties, and anyone chasing the thrill of timeless retro grooves in a modern sound.
