The original is really slow and melancholic, and as my student colleagues wanted to do a cover track (to the original tempo), I thought it would be fun to produce a Dance version. It actually turned out much better than I thought it would!  :-)

Sink (pre) - Jesse Crews

It has been awhile since Interbay has let Blendersample mess with a track, and this is classic Blendersample--some rather old-school edits (some might say dodgy or even sloppy, but it's all in the pursuit of "even more fun."  

What we have here is a club house song with some thick, almost neuro, bass and saxophones slipping into some cheesy 70s disco pop samples (bonus Interbay points if you know where it's from without Googling!) and then there are stutters and needle drops, including some 80s house samples, and somehow it all ends with a hint of an absolutely classic early 90s new wave song?  

If you're not familiar with Interbay until this track (where have you been?  glad to have you on board, finally), you might be thinking "WTF?"--but this is, strangely, par for the course for Interbay...where every song can include anything and everything, including the kitchen sink.  

(Oh, previously undiagnosed adult ADHD is sometimes really fun!  But can also cause whiplash for people expecting their mutant pop dance music to more unidirectional--sorry, but not really sorry.)    

Giving this the Blendersample treatment really didn't change this track all that much, honestly...it was pretty all over the place even in its original form.  But, when you have to Nigel Tufnel yourself, it is nice to know that when Interbay is all the way up (all the way up) on ten, there's still that little bit more to push it over the top.  

As it is still windy (still dealing with the bomb cyclone) and gloomy here in Seattle, the home of Phantom Laboratories West and all things Interbay...I thought maybe something silly and fun could lift our spirits.  And what better to do that than a "Magic Nightlight"???  Hope you agree!  

In order to agree, of course, you'll have to hit play and listen to this latest Interbay track.  And if you DO like it, give it a like...consider reposting it on your page or sharing it with friends or leaving a positive (or helpful) comment or adding it to your playlist...and, perhaps most importantly, follow this page...so you don't miss ANY of the madness made by Interbay, as new tracks are being posted every day (so far!)

another 2023 re-something from the 2018 album Disposable Designs.  In this case, i can't find the logic project... so it's a remaster of the original mp3 with some new artwork!!!  Artwork is possibly better than the track...

Call My Name II

https://youtu.be/ITrCntZuP9Q

something's on fire
I'm choking on smoke
with one hand stuck in the sink

I can hear sirens
red lights are on
and it feels like someone kicked my head in

“then please         
exit through the real door
someone will help you
someone will certainly help” 

but what if I’ve already tried
every door there was to find?

“please hold the line”

So, this is how Interbay parties.   

If I was still dj'ing, I might have thrown this into my NYE mix, depending on the crowd.  It certainly presents a shameless party vibe, ripe for celebration.  The original "Fun Baby" version ended with the fading out of the young men of the beach singing about the enjoyment they'll feel until their male parent removes access to the family vehicle--everything after that was added when it was decided that "Fun Baby (remix)" would be my New Year's Eve Interbay post.  

This is a feast for trainspotters and ex-record store employees.  There's so many different elements at play (with a healthy foundation of 80s, because...Interbay) and, again, this is a track that just makes me feel giddy when I hear it--and I can't wait for YOU to listen to it.   

BONUS INTERBAY POINTS...if you can pick out everything thrown into the blender to make this one happen... 
  
Thank you to everyone who has joined me on this crazy journey of posting never before heard Interbay tracks every single day (so far) in 2024.  I have a lot of plans for the new year, including digitizing music from my previous music making efforts, remixing Interbay experiments that posted previously on Facebook, and seeing how long I can keep this streak of consecutive days posting a track going (we're at 230 days and counting--including one that I took down because it wasn't good enough, and I'll remix and post that one again, I'm sure--and one that SoundCloud zapped (rest in peace, Icarus), though I did quickly replace that one with a reasonable alternative mix.)  

Yes, I'd love to have more listeners.  No, I'm not at a point where I necessarily deserve to have more.  And, unfortunately, no, I'm not in a position to hire anyone to help me with promotion or artwork.  (Though, perhaps someday--I'm working on it...making my mistakes in public and learning as I go along.)  

For now, it's enough that you're reading this...and that you're listening to Interbay.  

However, if you want to help.  Listen to more Interbay.  Give a like to any of the songs you like (there is a DEEEEEEEP back catalog of tracks waiting for you to discover.)  Consider giving an Interbay track a repost or share it with friends.  If you have a playlist that you think an Interbay track should be added to, go for it!  If you have a comment to make (especially encouraging ones), I welcome comments.  I remain backed up on disappointing hopeful marketers who have sent me messages that I haven't responded to yet, but I'm working my way through them...and you can certainly message me if you'd like to.  

Most of all, what would help me most, would be if you followed this page.  (And, as ever, a follow earns a follow back.)  

From everyone involved with Phantom Laboratories West (and East, for that matter) and from me...happy new year.

"Fun Baby (extended blendersample NYE medley mix)"  *SoundCloud Exclusive*

At the end of the description for yesterday's posted track, I hinted that the title of that track should have been a diva gospel house track.  And, being the mischievous imp that I can be (though some might choose "troll" as a better description), I thought that I should make that happen...and that THIS day's track should be a diva gospel house track titled "This is ALSO My Church."  

It isn't...obviously.  But, I did start work on it...and I liked what I came up with enough to not rush it, just for the giggles.  Expect to see a diva house track from Interbay at some point soon.  

Today's track might be as far from a diva house track without being an atonal No Wave piece.  "Quarrel" was my attempt to craft a tom tom heavy darkwave track--think The Cure (Pornography era) or Siouxsie & The Banshees.  

I wouldn't call it goth, though--maybe pieces of goth, but there are also some icicle Simple Minds-like synths that aren't all that gothy.  (And the fact that I just used the word "gothy" should clue you in to the fact that I lack the sincerity to really pull "goth" off...)  

It became a bit of a monster that I lost control of...at one point, I thought I was done with this--and it was about three and a half minutes long.  

It isn't...obviously.  It's an Interbay track, and despite a couple of fairly "simple" tracks the past two days, any chance I get to fill in all of the empty spaces on the canvas, I tend to take.      

Is it long?  Yes.  Is it busy?  Yes.  Is it noisy?  Good heavens, yes.  

But, if you're willing to join me on this journey, I think--in a "would you get into a boat with Willy Wonka?" sort of way--I think you'll have quite the time with "Quarrel."  (Especially if you consider this to be me channeling my inner Jim Steinman in the production/arrangement.)

I think my biggest concern with this track is--you can't really buy a royalty-free sample pack featuring vocals in the style of Siouxsie Sioux, Robert Smith, Andrew Eldritch, etc.  

I did what I could with what I have access to...but I don't think I'll truly get my darkwave/post-punk tracks quite right until I start putting my own vocals on songs--something I continue to promise to do soon.  (Not saying my vocals could be compared to Siouxsie or Robert or other post-punk singers--but at least I can pick and choose how to express the emotions I'm trying to get across.)    

I haven't done a proper post-punk track in awhile, so that made choosing today's posted track a bit easier.  However, you can likely expect some dance-oriented stuff escaping the Labs soon!  

As always--you are encouraged to do all the things. 
Listen! Like! Repost! Share! Playlist! Comment! Follow!    
(...and thank you!)

Hi, thanks for stopping by my Soundcloud page.  I'm a songwriter and novelist from North West England, looking to reach a wider audience with these little treasures of mine.

My three novels, 'Gavin & The Bodysnatchers', 'Sixth Beatle' and ‘Peckersley’s Bird Cafe’ are available through my website - link below. Plus you can find out a lot more about me there.

For music fans on here, you’ll find that my ‘Sixth Beatle’ novel is about a young composer trying to come up with the most perfect piece ever written. What most of us creating on Soundcloud strive for, I guess - but not many come close to achieving! 😁 Why not check it out?

Hi all, so I have assembled and produced this collection of many of my favorite tunes as my own hobby (and many during COVID lock-downs!) and I have accumulated over 2,700,000 plays across the world which is awesome!

I am much more of a producer that a musician. The first 8 years of my music was mostly based on midi cover tracks often downloaded from the Internet but heavily reproduced and re-imagined variously on my two Yamaha keyboards (Clavinova and PSR 975), but also using PC midi editing & DAW software.

More recently, I have included some of my more original electronic music which I produced over the past two decades under the name of Funkleberry in order to consolidate my Soundcloud accounts. 

But in 2024 I got into AI music generation. My first AI Album can also be found here:
