There was a voice inside his head which he couldn’t help but try to let go. It continued to tease and tickle his sensibilities. If only he were able to just wake up and end the dream.

The sun was shining outside as he gazed longingly from the window, he watched as the airplanes passed by overhead. Where they were headed nobody knew but he did wish that he too could fly.

The ceiling fan echoed overhead, distilling some sort of fake, fantastic plastic air which was barely swallowable. Perhaps everything outside was just a mirage, maybe this was still the dream.

Wake up…

Derek V Bulcke is set to release a new record via La Bonne Musique, a collection of fast paced, highly energetic cuts which will work wonders on the dancefloor in high pressure moments. The sort of hypnotic heat we have become accustomed to as the world spins ever more quickly.

PREMIERE: Derek V Bulcke - WAKE UP [La Bonne Musique]

Ransom Note is an online music, arts and culture magazine. We provide a home for readers and writers with boundless enthusiasm, esoteric knowledge, fierce opinions and impeccable taste.

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

We're always interested in getting new writers on board – feel free to get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell.

With love until the grave.
