"NEON" is the latest single from lilbrick_ix, blending raw emotion with slick pop production and anti-pop aesthetics. The track captures the anxiety of growing up in a world that’s always on fast-forward — a soundscape for anyone feeling the weight of time and the rush to find meaning.

With moody synths, catchy melodies, and a vocal performance that cuts deep, NEON is built for late-night drives and introspective moments. It’s pop — but not the polished kind. It’s Anti-Pop with soul.

🎧 For fans of: Aries, IannDior, Ryan Hall & MICO

Band of Georges: Growing Up

“Coral Reef” is the emotional low point of BlueScarf’s debut album “Weightless In-Between”. It represents a struggle between daydreams and reality, teetering on the edge of life and death.
As the narrator drifts through the sea, his body comes to rest at the coral reef. He feels weak, so the reef tries to lull him into death with its hypnotic choir. He is tired. Ashamed of his life. Slowly, he begins to give in.
Producer, singer, songwriter: BlueScarf (Kiss Bálint Béla).

Weightless In-Between

Coral Reef

Goldfish is indecision. The fear you feel on the verge of change. It's fun though!
Producer, singer, songwriter: BlueScarf (Kiss Bálint Béla).

Goldfish

A haunting and poetic emo-rock ballad about disillusionment and resilience. “When Shadows Follow” unravels the slow realization that the glittering promises of youth often hide betrayal and emptiness. With moody guitars, atmospheric textures, and aching female vocals, the track traces a journey through deception, toward inner clarity. It's not just a story of being misled, but of finding unexpected guides in the darkness. Perfect for fans of introspective, emotional music with a cinematic edge.

When Shadows Follow

Not my time

SON, WHAT WILL THE PEOPLE SAY?
A song about growing up under watchful eyes – and choosing to walk your own path anyway. Inspired by a grandfather’s warning and the quiet rebellion of a grandson who just didn’t care what they’d say. Raw, poetic, and real. For everyone who’s ever lived loud in a world that wanted them quiet.


SON, WHAT WILL THE PEOPLE SAY?
Ein Song über das Großwerden unter Blicken von außen – und die Entscheidung, trotzdem den eigenen Weg zu gehen. Inspiriert von einer Großvaterfrage, die nachhallt, und einer stillen Rebellion, die keine Maske mehr braucht. Rau, ehrlich, poetisch. Für alle, die sich je gefragt haben: Und wenn ich einfach ich selbst bin?

Son, what will the people say?

This one eluded me as a songwriting attempt, so decided to take a different approach...

Treehouse

Kiss Bálint Béla, also known as BlueScarf is a Hungarian writer, independent singer-songwriter, producer, filmmaker & creative individual from Bratislava, Slovakia. BlueScarf started making music in his high school years in an attempt to combat his fears and face the inevitable end of childhood. With his genre-bending style and honest, transparent voice he creates about the metaphorical, as well as the painfully raw and real.

BlueScarf’s debut album, “Weightless In-Between”, is a metaphorical coming-of-age story – an introspective voyage across the sea toward a deserted island, where the narrator confronts his deepest fears and must find the strength to overcome them to survive.

His debut single, “Suffocating”, takes its listeners to a place of quiet despair and sheer panic, mashing soft, melancholic piano with agressive drums and grungy electric guitars in the midst of a thunderstorm.

The follow-up, “Goldfish” is a radical departure from the tone set by its predecessor. It sounds fun, upbeat, but beyond its innocence there lies unexpressed fear and indecision.

“Lonely Island of Mine”, the last single before his narrative album is about second chances. Trial and error. Embracing mistakes and being patient with ourselves. It is gritty, real, but uplifting at the same time, merging elements of rap and rock with heavy screams.

Solive Raye is the sound of solitude given form, quiet thoughts turned into raw, melodic truths. An engineer and lifelong observer, Solive Raye writes for those who feel alone in crowded rooms, where silence speaks louder than words.


Blending dark, atmospheric tones with flickers of hope, his music lives in the in-between: not quite despair, not quite light, but something honest.


Raised in movement, from football fields to refereeing lines, he now wanders more internal landscapes, shaping every lyric with the precision of an outsider looking in.


Solive Raye doesn’t shout. He resonates.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
