This track captures the intimate poetry of Zouk — where bodies connect, emotions surface, and time melts into movement. Built around a smooth beat and flowing phrases, it’s an ode to the dancefloor’s quiet magic.
Created with a mix of virtual instruments and AI input, it’s part of a growing catalogue of ‘proto-tracks’ — musical sketches waiting for real dancers and musicians to bring them fully to life.

The count (90bpm)

A head-nodding semi-rap meets dancefloor Zouk — “Striker” blends gaming and football swagger over an Afro-tresillo groove. Originally sparked by AI, rebuilt with human hands (SubmitHub agrees 😉). Catchy, cheeky, and danceable as a Lambazouk at 90bpm.

LYRICS

Evidently as relevant as elephants, ya get it? (Eee, yo)
One of the last emcees on Earth, better check it
I be going 'til my pen breaks and my friends hate
You want it? Go and get it, I'm a dead weight
Set straight like a pin at the end of the lane
Told my father I'm a starter and I did it again
See, the reason I'm believing, no one lives with the shame
So I'm an illogical adult that went and changed up the game

I could play a different way, I'm on a new track
On a real attack
A different field
Another map
Every day, I'm feelin' better, I'ma hit the ground running
To my defense, every line is gonna be stunning
Give me the ball, every pass gonna be the one
To help you score, guaranteed, I can make it fun
Any role you need, just put me there
But now I need you to repeat after me, everybody

Striker
Striker
Striker

Hold up, everybody

Striker
Striker

Let it simmer, hold your breath
Game ain’t over, not just yet
Heartbeat syncs with every step
Power loads — now place your bet

Crowd goes wild, can’t fake that flair
Joystick hot like I’m light as air
Top of the board, yeah, stats insane
But I’m playin’ for soul — not just the game

One more click, unlock that skin
Drop that pass — time to win
No cheat codes, just real-time vibes
Glory’s built when you stay alive

Striker (Whoo!)
Striker (Say it loud)
Striker
Striker

You feel that pulse? That’s sync not luck
Boots on digital turf, feel the pressure stack up
Late night grinds, no rage quit bluff
Striker’s code — when it’s tough, get tough

Eyes on the goal, no need to rush
Just feel the rhythm, don’t kill the hush
Every move, every frame, precision’s art
It’s you and the screen — now play your part

Striker
Striker (One more time)
Striker
Striker

Striker (90bpm)

🇬🇧 On Saturday, May 17th, during the Canada Zouk Congress, I kept a promise: to deliver a set that touches the soul.

Esse set é um tributo à essência do zouk brasileiro: verdadeiro, vibrante, inesquecível.
Dedicado a todos que sentem o zouk pulsar no peito.

👋 Hi, I’m Ed — and this is where I share original music I’ve produced using a mix of digital techniques, including some AI-generated elements (especially vocals in some tracks).

My main focus is creating or remixing music for Zouk dancing, but like most producers, I love to tinker — so you’ll also find a few outliers that don’t follow the same beat.

Some of these songs are also available on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, but I particularly enjoy SoundCloud for the ability to receive comments and critiques — it really helps shape the creative process.

All of this is non-commercial. I’ve enabled downloads and sharing on most tracks so others can pull them apart, remix, or use them for non-commercial purposes — or even just to practice mixing (which I’m still learning too!).

I welcome honest feedback, suggestions, or just some relaxed listening. And hey — if it makes you smile, even if it’s a little cringe… that’s still a win. 😉
