THAT'S RIGHT SUCKA
WE BACK WITH DA HARD STUFF
GET KRAZY N STUFF

And so, here we go again!
I don't have much to say on this song!
I started with a Public Enemy sample, and decided to make a more straightforward rave song, more akin to the ideas I worked on early in my music making... I started getting second thoughts about it... But I decided to push forward, not caring about it. "I know someone out there will like it". The thought kept pushing me. I needed to believe in myself. The "EGO" will push me...!
The in-your-face style of the song spits in your face directly with hard stabs and a straight-up amen break! The power to make music is yours... You just have to believe in yourself!

Once again, this song is accompanied by a BMS, charted by the wonderful isocosa! I couldn't work on a BGA for this song, unfortunately, so my friend Bearynice made a sketch for the thumbnail/BGA! Thank you so much! I linked his Twitter down below! Check his amazing art!

EGORAVE (Cut The Amen) (BMS TRACK)

ABSOLUTE HAZE
EXPERIENCE IT
UNTIL THE FLAME BURNS BRIGHTER


It's been a very, very long time.

A lot has happened since my last song release. Jobs, people, college, etc....
I built a new computer and moved all of my music projects there. Took a bit to get used to the new place, but it all worked out in the end. There's a lot I want to talk about, but I'm terrible at writing these sorts of things. Long story short, I haven't been able to work on music for some time due to many, many life circumstances. I'm going to college soon for music production, so maybe that'll help.

I always wanted to make music. Recently, I got into parapara. Listening to eurobeat and hyper techno made me realize how much I love this sorta stuff again. The excitement, the pulse, the sound of it all... I wanted to go back to my roots. To the people that inspired me to love this music. Realizing that good-cool's SENSE was inspired by Juliana's Tokyo music and the Japanese 90's rave scene as a whole, I wanted to make something with that sound again... the HARD RAVE name came back to me...

And so, I decided to make a sort of "Red Light 2". I wanted those classic stabs back, the loud electronic drum rack, the crazy vocal samples... It took me months of motivation, experimenting and acceptance to make something again. But I finally stuck to my guns and went for it. Another classic 90's rave track from yours truly! I wanted to give it a speedier BPM (145BPM), compared to the more deliberate house rhythm of the original Red Light... (Hoping this gets a techpara routine someday! The BMS cut would work perfectly for it... 'v';)

I wanted to thank all of the people who helped me out through these times:
my friends (June, Welson, Noor, Isa, Ruth, Michael Macaw, Nalos, Tangle, 0x0CA7F00D, Merf, Firlow, Bay, Ben, Jonathan "Fresca" Campbell, Alex, Seech, Sharb, and of course, Isabelle, who made the BMS), folks from the ParaPara community (Ryan, Bill, Beth and Skylar), my brother Victor, the folks over at UADY, my counselor Alcocer, Lewis Shields, Anthony Cloudy from Cloudy Games LLC, and every single artist that has ever inspired my music taste and development.
Without you all, I wouldn't be where I am right now, and I'm eternally grateful.

Had a couple of ideas floating around. Wanted to make something that would fit right in with GOTTAMIX... so I decided to make a hip-hop-like beat with a bunch of samples! Pretty groovy, huh~?

Main samples:
"You've Made Me So Very Happy" and "And When I Die" by Blood, Sweat and Tears
"Lovergirl In Summer ~GUHROOVY HARD CORE MIX~" by LUV 2 SHY feat. Sonomi (Remixed by GUHROOVY)

Rehearsal Vol.1

HOW DOES IT FEEL?
TO BE THE MAIN PLAYA?
BREAK THE GROOVE
WITH YOUR MIND

Two weeks. It started with a simple concept: simple amen cuts as main, simple drums. Then a friend on Twitter suggested a sax... From there, it went crazy. Stabs, piano, bass, rap samples, everything...
A pure old school track! Rave patterns combined to a Drum'n Bass beat!
Bounce to this!

Generic

ABSOLUTE LIGHT
LOOK AT IT
UNTIL THE FLAME FADES AWAY

And so, my first BMS track is out! With the help of my dear friend isocosa ( https://soundcloud.com/isocosa ), I turned my good-cool inspired track into something, let's say, a little more tangible!
I wanted to go full-on dance mode for this one, so I hope everyone can dance to this!
And of course, support my friend, isocosa, (who also makes amazing jams and BMS), who helped me turn this song into a BMS!
The background video was made by me! It was all a lot of fun!

Red Light (BMS TRACK)

CUTTING UP MEMORIES
TOGETHER INTO A COLLAGE
OF JUMBLED LOVE

After nearly half a year, I managed to put my stuff together and decide to put another experimental track out there. I had the concept of a mash-up style song, based entirely on sampling other songs.
I thought about a DJ quickly switching between turntables, swapping and cutting tracks rapidly, while combining their own techno and breakbeat flavor into the rhythm (BEMANI and SEGA fans will be pleased, hopefully! ^^;;).
And so, after some playing around and feedback, I decided to finish this up and release it.

Once again, this track is also accompanied by a BMS, courtesy of https://soundcloud.com/isocosa , bringing her unique and stylish charting style, accompanied by a "soft landing" style chart! The background video was also made by me (again!).

To everyone who's listening to my stuff and enjoying it, thank you.
I don't know where I'd be without you.

Samples from:
"DESTROY 2 THEME" by DESTROY 2, from "We Are Voice And Rhythm Only"
"Tell me your memories" by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, from "Virtua Fighter 3 Sound Tracks"

FREEHARDSAMPLE!!! (BMS TRACK)

Hey, folx! JA-573 here!
Jess made a little gift for me... A song!?
It's 20, November! Let's dance and groove all night long!
💙(c^o^c)💙

[For the sake of the occasion, I decided to finally let this lil' jam I made all the way back in March out. It's the last 20, November of the decade, so I wanted to do something cute here! Sampled songs from every main 5-key entry, and gave it a ClubMIX feel to compensate, samples included. Happy BEMANI day, everyone! Please, play 5-key!]

[[~5-key fans will know the samples~]]

Five Keys ~ Jaste's Theme

HOW MANY AMENS CAN U FIT IN A JPOP
LETS FIND OUT
THANK U FOR PLAYING OKAY BYE

Made as a tribute to du$t.c's "e.f.p" BMS, a giant middle finger to the Japanese music industry, the concept came from a combo of "amenpunk" (a combination of a random track, meshed into aggressive amens), and gabber. Thus, this.

Samples "POP STAR" by Ken Hirai, released 2005

REALPOPSTAR [MANIFESTO TRACK]

DANCE TILL U BUILD UP
CAUSE LEMME TELL YA
I GOTCHU NOW

A song with an incredibly peculiar sound, neither house or techno, "Build-UP" by FORWARD is one of the most bumpin' licenses in "Beatmania 4th MIX".
My friend suggested a remix of the short cut, and I decided to give it a shot. I kept this half-done for a while and decided to finish it up for fun.
I gave it a harder, more robotic beat, mixing in its famous voice clips in an intense atmosphere.
Once you hear it, you'll say "I GOT YOU NOW!"

Original song by GTS (Satoshi Hidaka), as featured on the "Build-Up" vinyl and on the "GROOVE TRACKS VOL. 1" CD, both from 1999.

Samples "Searching For My Rizla" by RATPACK.

Build-UP (COMPILE MIX)

RU-PA
NO TE PUEDO DAR MÁS (QUE MI AMOR)
CHANSON D'AMOUR


It's been a while since I worked on something like this, let alone music in general...
Between college, the lockdown, personal/work stress, and an infuriating ear infection, I've been on and off with sound period. Not being able to enjoy music properly has been one of the most life-draining things I've ever lived through. Couple that with no motivation/depression, and you got an unhealthy cocktail of emotions. It wasn't until very recently that, in both pure anger and bliss, I yelled "what the hell" towards the heavens above and decided to make something out of this.

Flashes of life, both past and present, assaulted me when thinking about what to put into this song. The songs I sampled here, the pace, bass, cuts and stops... It's all a culmination of my thoughts and feelings as of recent.

I originally started this song back in February, in an attempt to one-up myself after the success of FREEHARDSAMPLE!!!...
That's when I realized that I couldn't work anything like that. Not this. Not like this.

So, I made this. Because this is me.

Things have gotten better--or rather, I've gotten better. I've found a new purpose in my music; life, in general. I don't need to be the best. I don't need to satisfy anyone. Because what is music, but a reflection of the artist? This, regardless of what you say or want, is FASTHARDSAMPLE!!! (or FHS2!!!, if you will), because this is what I want.

But it isn't the end.

I'm fine, don't worry.
I genuinely appreciate all the support y'all have given me. Thank you all.
I'll have more music done. I won't stop, no matter what.

In regards to the BMS... well, after isocosa made a surprise "sofla" chart for the original FHS!!!, I went to her and told her. "add as many sofla as possible". She delivered. This track is meant to represent the anger and pace of the song. Feel the song. That is the only way to clear these charts.
Also, I asked her to make 9k charts for those who play with Pop'n controllers! Please, practice this song plenty.
