Fascination is your monthly inclusive queer femme-run dark DJ night in Hamilton, and this time they brought through Dreamstate Seven for some industrial chaos -- alongside an all-vinyl set from Castelvi -- and fantastic drag shows from Belle Bottoms and Kunty the Clown!! 

An absolutely stellar night -- found me leaning into some tried and tested dance floor destruction. This is all 3 of my sets stitched together into one continuous play. 

Enjoy!!

Live @ Fascination - 2024-05-30

Another song from the album Hell in Life, this one talks about a protagonist who feels lonely and also unloved, he thinks that nobody really loves him and that if he died maybe he wouldn't even cry for him, here I leave the lyric:

If I die, 
Would you cry for me?
If I die,
Would you miss my peace?
If I die,
Would you really care?
Only in dead, 
Would you care about me.

If I die, 
Would you cry for me?
If I die,
Would you miss my peace?
If I die,
Would you really care?
Only in dead, 
Would you care about me.

[Verse]

Putrefaction
in solitude,
Watching my humanity go by,
a heart bitten
by darkness.

(Alone, alone always.)

[Chorus]

If I die, 
Would you cry for me?
If I die,
Would you miss my peace?
If I die,
Would you really care?
Only in dead, 
Would you care about me.

If I die, 
Would you cry for me?
If I die,
Would you miss my peace?
If I die,
Would you really care?
Only in dead, 
Would you care about me.

[Chorus]

crying ain't the worst thing,
There's nothing wrong with tearing up on a birthday,
and heaven knows it's death you're crying for,
So when you're done, you regret it? 
(Do you regret it?)

[Bridge]

If I die, 
Would you cry for me?
If I die,
Would you miss my peace?
If I die,
Would you really care?
Only in dead, 
Would you care about me.

Only in dead,
Only,
Only in dead,
Only,
Only in dead,
Only in dead,
Only,
Only in dead,
Only,
Only in dead,
now you will care.

[Outro]

If I die, 
Would you cry for me?
If I die,
Would you miss my peace?
If I die,
Would you really care?
Only in dead, 
Would you care about me.

If I die, 
Would you cry for me?
If I die,
Would you miss my peace?
If I die,
Would you really care?
Only in dead, 
Would you care about me.

Hell in Life

Alone

I wore your name like second skin,
A hush beneath the storm within.
You never asked me to belong,
But I did anyway—too loud, too long.

You spoke in echoes, soft and far,
While I learned every silent scar.
You built no house, but I came home
To hands that never felt like my own.

And I broke myself in quiet ways,
Spilled out like dusk on brighter days.
You never held, but I still stayed—
A shadow you forgot to name.
Now there’s salt in the shape of you
In every tear I never meant to lose.

You lit a match and watched me glow,
Said nothing… but it felt like “go.”
I begged the stars to make me less—
Too much heart, too little flesh.

You kissed like something you’d regret,
A promise wrapped in a silhouette.
I bled in poems you won’t read—
Love letters stitched in quiet need.

And I broke myself in quiet ways,
Spilled out like dusk on brighter days.
You never held, but I still stayed—
A shadow you forgot to name.
Now there’s salt in the shape of you
In every tear I never meant to lose.

I carved your silence into song,
Hummed it soft but held it wrong.
You were the dream I couldn’t wake—
A ghost too warm to call a mistake.

And I broke myself to feel you near,
Traced your absence year by year.
You didn’t ask—but I still gave
The parts I swore I’d always save.
Now I’m salt in the shape of you,
And I don’t know what’s left of me to lose.

Salt in the Shape of You

You look at me like I’m the edge of dawn,
But the night still pulls you where you don’t belong.
You touch my hand like it’s the last goodbye,
Then vanish in the hush of every sigh.

I know you feel it — the ache, the flame,
But we’re always drowning in someone else’s name.

I hate that I love you with nowhere to go,
Trapped in a dream we’ll never show.
I scream in silence, break on repeat,
Wanting you near but cursed in defeat.
You want me too, I see it clear—
So why do you vanish every time I’m near?

You speak in riddles wrapped in fear,
Like love’s a crime if someone hears.
I’m tired of shadows, tired of wait,
Of loving like it’s some cruel twist of fate.

You hold me close, then push away,
I lose you a little more each day.

I hate that I love you with nowhere to go,
Trapped in a dream we’ll never show.
I scream in silence, break on repeat,
Wanting you near but cursed in defeat.
You want me too, I see it clear—
So why do you vanish every time I’m near?

You’re not a ghost, but you’re never real,
A wound that time refuses to heal.
I taste your name like bitter wine,
Sweet and cruel—never mine.

I hate that I love you with no way to win,
The door’s wide open, but you won’t walk in.
We burn in secret, we bleed in light,
But you still choose the wrong over right.
And I’d fight the world, I’d break and stay,
But you’re the one who walks away.

So I’ll love you in silence, from miles away,
And curse the stars for a love that can’t stay.

Break on Repeat

Hello, my name is Wh Lexx (Wh = Witch and Lexx is a nickname for my name, so it would be Witch Lexx, but you can call me whatever you like ;3). I am an independent, underground artist. I create music for the love of it, using different genres. I am an experimental dark electronic artist. I tackle many topics that I have experienced, seen, and so on. My goal is reflection or catharsis. Although I am a self-destructive artist, I do not seek to idealize or romanticize anything.

I love electronic music, so I tend to use all kinds of subgenres in my songs. I hope you enjoy my music <3.

Landing somewhere between industrial and psytrance, somewhere between chillstep and dark ambience -- and perfectly at home everywhere from dark subterranean clubs to the wide open forest skies, Dreamstate Seven fosters a genuinely one-of-a-kind sound and vibe, with an unmistakable passion and energy. Whether setting the decks alight with progressive and full-on psytrance, or commanding Ableton with bass-heavy emotive productions – the culmination of decades of musical experience yield an unmistakable spirit of dance, delight, and dancefloor destruction.
