KAT — Play Me Slow (EDM Festival Mix)

This one started as a warm reggae drift
and turned into something I never expected
a full on late night lights up heart rising dancefloor version

Pulsing synths rising like waves
a four on the floor beat that moves with its own desire
and a bassline that feels like breath meeting electricity

Sunset turning into neon
softness becoming pure energy

Shoutout to my friend Marol
who nudged me toward the electronic side
and made me curious enough to try something new
I did not plan it
I did not think it was my world
but the moment the beat opened
I knew
yes this belongs to me too

So here it is
my first step into the bright side of play life
wild in the best way
soft at the center
alive at the edges

Turn it up
let it lift you
let it move you

Play Me Slow (EDM Festival Mix)

SAINT-EX FLIES OVER THE ANDES FOR THE FIRST TIME (instrumental)

Holding onto love and conquering every obstacle is what this anthem is all about. It proves love is always worth the fight and embodies the pure power of perseverance.

Perseverance

****We have decided to link the song to a fundraising campaign. All proceeds and donations related to the song will go to a UNICEF project that supports children in the war-torn regions of Ukraine. We appreciate every contribution to the project, whether big or small. Thank you for your support!
www.unicef.de/spendenaktion/idee?cfd=jdo7r ****Well where do I start ? About 5 months ago me and Axel Menningen had a crazy idea to bring about 20 Soundcloud artists together for a Christmas song . So I got the chords and melody sorted and brought Andrea Brennan in to write the lyrics , the rough demo was then sent over to Axel for him to work his magic ! The next few months were spent gathering singers , and Axel had the massive task of mixing the whole thing together , we did the music almost last , everyone had to do their part working with just a rough acoustic and drum demo , but it did not phase anyone in the slightest , true pros !
A cause close to my heart is the Ukraine , so we want to make as much as possible to try and help these oppressed people .
Axel made a wonderful video too https://youtu.be/ZuvDeiWsgYE?si=kzRPIyrARDlvSHxj
I would like to thank everybody involved in this project , you are so kind to donate your time and effort , from the bottom of my heart I thank you , along with Axel and Andrea !
A big thank you to everyone involved

The Greatest Gifts

I’m surrounded by cardboard boxes  
Paper, ribbons and bows    
December 18th, only one week left to go 
Time to get, this show on the road  

And with every single bow I tie  
Each name I cross from my list  
I can feel my spirits start to rise  
Thinking about our gifts   
Not just at holidays    
But every day     

A smile from a stranger   
While walking through the streets of town
The hand of a close friend
When I’m knocked down 
The laughter of loved ones
That turn the darkest day around
These are the greatest gifts
That make the world go round

Lights on my Christmas boughs  
Blink red, blue and green   
And each branch holds a special memory 
Ornaments, sentimental to me  

And the angel glowing high from above 
Shines like a Christmas wish   
Of joy, peace, hope, forgiveness and love 
God’s precious given gifts   
Not just at holidays - But every day  

A smile from a stranger   
While walking through the streets of town
The hand of a close friend
When I’m knocked down 
The laughter of loved ones
That  turn the darkest day around
These are the greatest gifts
That make the world go round

I wrap the last gift ,     
place it under the tree   
Thankful for blessings I receive  

A smile from a stranger   
While walking through the streets of town
The hand of a close friend
When I’m knocked down 
The laughter of loved ones
That turn the darkest day around
These are the greatest gifts

A smile from a stranger   
While walking through the streets of town
The hand of a close friend
When I’m knocked down 
The laughter of loved ones
That turn the darkest day around
These are the greatest gifts
That make the world go round

On the next release I'll name and shame a new scammer , actually I'll
do it now !
Nick Sligh representing Universal , avoid this pondlife !

I watch the river - And I see it flow

I watch it winding - Where does it go?

 

I see the love - I see the hate

Is there an answer - I just can’t wait

 

I see the children - I see them grow

The things they learning - I’ll never know

 

I see them laughing – I see them cry

I wonder will they ever – Ever wonder why

 

 

Chorus

 

Here I stand with my disguise

I see it all through tired eyes

Flowers bloom and flowers die

But I’ll go where my fate lies

My fate lies

My fate lies

 

Solo

 

Chorus

 

I don’t know why – I don’t know when

I just can’t seem – To say it again

 

I think about it – And it makes no sense

Looking back – At what it meant

 

Chorus

Where my fate lies

Where My Fate Lies

MY EGO-TRIP BLUES

THE SHATTERED KINGDOM

The sky was blood red when the horsemen reached the hill. Before them, the castle blazed, once a symbol of power and eternity, now a memorial to pride that had fallen. Towers collapsed, walls burst, and the wind carried screams and ashes across the scorched land.

At the head of the cavalry sat Ser Caelis, the king's last commander. His gaze was fixed, not on the flames, but on the banner lying in the mud—torn, like the empire he once served.

“We could have saved it,” someone murmured behind him. Caelis did not answer. Words had no place in this world anymore. Only memory.

In the distance, the last villagers fled, shadows amid smoke and rubble. Children clung to their mothers, old people stumbled over roots and stones. But no one turned back.

Caelis raised his sword, not to attack, but to say goodbye. One last time, the blade glinted in the firelight—then he lowered it, and with it, any hope of return.

The horsemen turned around. No command was necessary. They rode into the darkness, to the place where legends die – and stories begin...

The Shattered Kingdom

VC JACOBY - POET ON MUSICAL WAYS

Volker Carl Jacoby - Autor, Poet, Kabarettist, Comedian, Liedermacher, Synchronsprecher - https://www.literaturland-saar.de/personen/volker-carl-jacoby

Author, poet, cabaret artist, songwriter, voice actor, journalist and even pastor: Volker C. Jacoby is active in many fields.

He spent his childhood and youth in St. Ingbert. Saarland, Germany, where he attended the humanistic and classical language branch of the State Secondary School. After university and various jobs, he began working freelance for „Saarländischer Rundfunk“ Radio, initially as a correspondent for the SR 3 regional news program, in parallel with his readings and literary solo cabaret programs. This was followed by roles as a narrator for radio plays, as a voice actor, and for various commercials.

In 1977, Jacoby teamed up with Schorsch Seitz to form the duo "Jacoby & Schorsch." Together, they primarily composed humorous songs in Standard German and the Rhenish-Franconian-Saarland dialect with a cabaret-like, ironic touch. Their dialect songs, in particular, filled a clearly existing gap in the market, especially since "SR 3 Saarlandwelle" featured them permanently on their programming, thus making them known to a wider audience. Subsequently, "Jacoby and Schorsch" produced three vinyl albums and three singles. During their tours, they also performed open-air gigs with rock bands.

Soon well known beyond the borders of Saarland, the duo received engagements in Berlin, Stuttgart (Südfunk), Cologne (Westdeutscher Rundfunk), Frankfurt, Munich, Basel, and Brussels, among others. During a TV recording at the Renitenztheater in Stuttgart, they also met Mathias Richling and Karl Dall. Jacoby collaborated with the latter several times for RTL on the radio show "Die schlaue Stunde." In 1993, the popularity of "Jacoby & Schorsch" peaked – not least through their appearances with Hanns Dieter Hüsch  (A "Hüsch Evening" with music in memory of his friend and cabaret colleague Hanns Dieter Hüsch was added to the repertoire – later in 2010).

He moved to France 1994. Since then, he has been performed readings, including singing. His dialect contributions have provided him with a rewarding outlet in the "Mundartring Saar" (Saarland dialect circle), including as a reciter of poems by deceased fellow authors, to whom he lends his voice.

Constantly prolific in literary terms, his poems are in the tradition of comic poetry in the style of Wilhelm Busch, Christian Morgenstern, Joachim Ringelnatz, Eugen Roth, Heinz Erhardt, and Robert Gernhardt. Volker C. Jacoby also publishes his poetry and prose on LiteratPro, Facebook, and YouTube. Since 2025, he has been setting his poems to music and is constantly writing new songs. And, of course, he continues to write his cheerful, humorous, and often very quirky poems.
