Name: Third Snare from the Sun by n1CKed
Duration: 5 min 54 s
Description: Another beat battle track with the snare chopped from a drum loop and placed on the third beat. A more orchestral bent to this one on this occasion.

My band, Trucker Piss Juggs are back with a tune about buying stuff online.

Emu Off Of Temu

Built on the organic sounds of life — footsteps on pavement, a breeze cutting through open windows, distant voices full of stories — and woven with the nostalgic crackle of oldskool modems calling out to forgotten worlds, this song captures the feeling of breaking free.

Spoken word flows through it like a heartbeat, telling a story of liberation — from systems, from expectation, from weight we were never meant to carry. It’s that feeling of lying on a rooftop at sunrise, watching the city exhale. Of dancing alone in your room, finally not caring who’s watching. Of remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.

“So High” is the moment between sunset and sunrise — when night hasn’t quite let go, and morning hasn’t fully arrived. It’s a place where trouble doesn’t stick, where time slows down, and where you finally float above it all.

This one’s for the dreamers. For the ones who feel too much. For anyone who ever needed a song to remind them: you were never meant to stay grounded.

Falling Down

Falling Down (Eugenio Tokarev Remix)

Lie to lie

I still remember the night I started building the track.

It was 2:14 AM. One of those restless nights where sleep feels miles away, but emotion sits just beneath the skin — itching to become something real.

I had this feeling stuck in my chest. Not sadness. Not joy. Something in between. That aching kind of wanting — for connection, for closeness. For someone.

I opened a blank project, tapped out a slow, pulsing drumbeat — like a heartbeat amplified. Then I laid down some warm chords, like sunlight through curtains. It felt tender. Hopeful. Like waking up next to someone you love for the first time and realizing, “This is it.”

That’s when the line came:
“Needed me, like the sun needs somebody to dance.”

It made no sense at first. But it felt right. That was the rule for this one — no overthinking. Only feeling.
I looped it, added more textures, shaped the bass to breathe beneath the words like longing. Then I layered in the hook, almost like a whisper at first:

“I wanna know you… I wanna show you…”

It wasn’t a love song in the typical sense. It was before the love. That moment when you’re just overflowing with emotion — not knowing where to put it, but knowing it’s meant for someone. That urge to connect. That need to be seen. To give something honest.

By the time I finished, I didn’t feel alone anymore.
The song had become a conversation I hadn't yet had.

It was raw. Real. And maybe that’s why people resonate with it.
Because everyone, deep down, just wants someone to say:
“Let me know where you wanna go… I’ll go with you.”

And that’s what this song became —
not just a track,
but a heartbeat shared.

Produced for the Lofi Girl x Native Instruments competition.

The title comes from my watching @bennjordan's "I Saved a PNG Image to a Bird" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQCP-5g5bo) during the time I made this song. Starlings feature prominently in that video. If you're into birds and mad science, I highly recommend watching! 🐦

starlings and storms

Adaptation of the song of Jean Baptiste Clément and Antoine Renard en 1866/1868.

Le temps des cerises

We might call it 'Folk Dub' - a blend of modern sounds set against some mandoline and harp samples, with an AI voice delivering the 'Sheep Crook and Black Dog' lyrics

The Shepherd's Dub

The silence echoes where you should be,
I reach for you, but it’s only me.
Two hearts divided, worlds apart,
Still you’re the fire inside my heart.

I feel your shadow in every night,
Calling my name through the endless light.

Across the distance, I need you near,
Through time and space, I’ll find you here.
No walls can break us, no stars too far,
I’ll cross the heavens to where you are.

I hear you…
I feel you…
I need you…
Forever…

Across the distance, I need you near,
Through time and space, I’ll find you here.
No walls can break us, no stars too far,
I’ll cross the heavens to where you are.

I need you… I need you… I need you…
