Z-Pieces of Fears

B-Back to Lament

F-Strength of Olden Ocean

G-Into Chaos

A vigorous anthem of release and salvation on the dancefloor: Pyrococcus' song "Cathartic Dance" tops off intoxicating rave energy with evocative vocals. Ziberia’s haunting voice paints a poignant picture of a dance as a healing and transformative experience. The pulsing beats, driving chords and sweeping melodies invite you to let go and transform vulnerability into strength – in a cathartic dance!

Veteran Sikøra from Germany is known for milestones on labels such as Klang Elektronik, Ongaku, Playhouse, Cocoon and Harthouse since the '90s. His bustling remix of Cathartic Dance is just as stunning, with bleeps and cowbells from the old-school techno vault!

Pyrococcus feat. Ziberia - Cathartic Dance (Sikøra Remix 1)

I was intending on waiting  couple more days to start SPOOKY WEEK, with dark and possibly scary songs appropriate for the season.  Then I spotted something that inspired THIS track--so, it is possible that SPOOKY WEEK is starting early...it might be starting now!  

What I noticed is that this song today is the 526th Interbay track posted here on SoundCloud (one a day for 526 straight days!).  When you add this to the 140 Interbay tracks that were originally posted on Facebook, before I started posting here...that means this track is the 666th Interbay track.  

And this song was the result of being inspired by such a devilish nummber.  

(Well, I suppose I could have posted an Interbay'd up cover of an Iron Maiden song...but I went with this.)  

The story is original to me.  The vocals, obviously, are not.  You've got some spooky ambience, a Gary Numan-y synthline, and constant dance beat pulse, and a section that, unintentionally, sounds a little bit like the theme from Phantom of the Opera (only because of the synth patch chosen and the chord used--but none of the melody or anything--just that one chord.)  

A little synth acid to spice things up and an occasional switch into a sped up trap beat.  

In other words, it's totally Interbay.  

Originally, I was going to call this track "Packed With the Devil"--notice that it is NOT "Pact With the Devil."  Ahhh, you see what I was gong to do there.  I think I was hinting at a Hemsworth-type guy who could lure any woman into some "Very Nice, Very Evil" (apologies to Danhausen) night time activities.  

The story also comes with a reference to Broadcast News, of all things.  When Albert Brooks' character is heartbroken when he learns that his crush, Holly Hunter, is entering a relationship with William Hurt...  Albert calls him the devil, and says that the devil wouldn't LOOk like the devil...he would be attractive...and that they'd get all the great women.  

(There's also a lyrical reference to Blue Oyster Cult in my story--BONUS INTERBAY POINTS IF YOU CAN SPOT IT.  Oh, hell, BONUS INTERBAY POINTS if you even remember Blue Oyster Cult or know who they are...)

This was fun to put together and it came together fast.  Love it when it happens.  

But I'm not promising that tomorrow's track will be spooky.  Not sure about that yet.  

Still, for Interbay track #666--could have done worse, yeah?  

Give "Devil's Night" a listen, a like, a repost, a share, leave a comment, add it to a playlist, etc.

And follow for more--because there's fresh baked Interbay dropping here every single day (so far!)  Thanks!

"Devil's Night" *SoundCloud Exclusive*

“Sun in 4/4” is a slow-burning techno odyssey that unfolds like dawn itself, patient, glowing, and alive with rhythm. Built around a steady four-four pulse, the track moves in waves: deep basslines breathing under layers of bright synths, percussive textures shimmering like morning fog. It’s a heartbeat stretched across a horizon, where repetition turns into revelation.

The vocals drift in spoken tones, half memory, half mantra, describing a night that dissolves into light, a field that becomes a cathedral of sound. Every phrase feels like a fragment of motion: footsteps in wet grass, a bassline warming with the sunrise, hands rising without hurry.

It’s music for the in-between, the last hour of the rave, the first breath of morning. The track captures that fleeting moment when time loosens, language fades, and rhythm becomes the only truth left standing.

“Sun in 4/4” is not just about sound,  it’s about arrival. The point where night gives in, and you realise you’ve danced your way into the light.

Even during Spooky Week+, a Monday means an exclusive remix from Interbay's shady past--back when tracks were not posted exclusively to SoundCloud, but posted (with a music video, no less) over on Facebook, exclusively.  

Because tracks I posted there did not have to follow the same guidelines that I use for tracks posted here, I've begun to put these tracks through RRR:  Rethink, Remake, Remix.  It is a chance to imagine these older tracks in new ways, to get them up to SoundCloud Exclusive standards, to find structure, to add vocal elements, to make the track sound better--based on the skills and experience from having produced music a couple of years more than I'd done when I posted these songs to Facebook.  

And is this one Spooky?  I believe it is!  

The track that had been "Experiment 40" was an effort towards post-punk on a grander scale--and there are few inspirations on as grand of a scale as the New Zealand film "The Quiet Earth."  

The madness that ensues from finding out you're the last person on the planet, the uncomfortable relief to find out that you're not...not quite.  And the last shot of the film?  One of the most dramatic final segments in movie history.  If you haven't seen it, you should.  

I'm noticing an unexpected theme this Spooky Week+.  Loneliness.  This could be a subconscious cry for help...or just an acknowledgement that things are spook when you're alone.  Time will tell.  

Tribal drums, dramatic strings, swells and synths--with only a few choice movie snippets (and one vocal sample that is not actually from the film.)  I think this song verges on terrifying (but, in a good way.)  

Please give "Understand (You Are Alone)" a listen and a like.  Repost it, add it to a playlist, share it with a friend.  Leave a comment on it (the nice ones, the encouragement, the enthusiasm--all of those are appreciated!)  

And, most of all, if you haven't yet, give this page a follow.  Though Spooky Week will end, the flow of new Interbay will not.  There's an Interbay track dropping here EVERY SINGLE DAY (so far!)  You'll want to follow this page so you don't miss any of it!

"Understand (You Are Alone)" (exp40 RRR) *exclusive remix*

[dance pop] Lucy & mary

A late night blend of quiet deep house, modern electronic pop, and melodic deep techno.
These tracks live on warm sub bass, soft pads, and patient, metronomic grooves, minimal enough to breathe and detailed enough to hold you. The sound favors restraint over spectacle: clean percussion, shimmering synth lines, and hush close, restrained baritone vocals that feel intimate and unforced. Repetition is not a loop but a slow bloom; each layer arrives with purpose, opening space rather than filling it.

Emotionally the music sits between melancholy and lift, reflective, tender, quietly euphoric. It leans into longing without drama, trading big gestures for small shifts: the moment a chord warms, the way a note lingers, the pulse that steadies your breathing. There is softness at the center, a calm that carries weight, a sense of being held while something inside lets go.

Designed for after hours and dim rooms, the tracks move like a steady tide: inward, then outward, never hurried. Nostalgia is present, but it is gentle, more glow than glare. The aim is simple: to give feeling a shape in rhythm, to turn memory into motion, and to let the listener rise a few inches above the floor without ever breaking the hush.

Celebrate the pursuit of dreams, fueled by the awe of the cosmos and the vibrant energy of dance culture!

The fiery force from the Baltic Sea: Pyrococcus electrifies minds and bodies with his thrilling take on energising dance-pop – charged with infectious grooves, powerhouse vocals and irresistible hooks! Fusing the euphoric spirit of '90s dance music with an own strong signature, Pyrococcus channels the legacy of legends like Moby, Snap!, Culture Beat, Jam & Spoon, Pet Shop Boys and Rozalla.

Teaming up with striking vocalists, Pyrococcus explores themes of transformation, liberation and expression – music as a messenger unafraid to wear its heart on its sleeve; anthems ready to resonate with fans of Dua Lipa, Katy Perry, Ava Max, Becky Hill and Sophie and the Giants.

Post-punk, dance, indie, electronic, and mutant pop in various styles (seriously!)--new tracks being posted daily (every day for over a year, so far!)

Interbay is the new project of Peter Greyy (previously of Cremation Dance and DangerScience), based out of Seattle and Phantom Laboratories West.
