Melting in the summer heat

By CatchinAshes on January 11, 2026 10:01 am

This week was a bit of a slog. Hard to get excited or productive when the weather cranks itself to 11 and the heat blasts past 40°C (about 104°F for friends abroad). A couple of those days felt like wading through soup — roasting on public transport with no AC, drinking what felt like my own body weight in water. The kind of heat that melts motivation right off the bone.

Still, the ritual is the ritual. I chipped away at this track in the pockets of cooler air. Sometimes showing up is the whole point — not being the best dressed, but having the spirit to turn up even on your worst days.

Hope everyone’s staying cool, hydrated, and creatively intact.
And for friends abroad, hope you’re bundling up and staying out of the cold.

Ordered some new hardware though, well by new I mean new for me haha

but looking forward to putting it to use for weeklybeats

Such a vibe! I’m a kid again, walking through the shopping plaza and my imitation walkman’s lo-batts are making the music sound better just before it drops 3 octaves & stops

SO what is this called? A pad lead? Whatever it is, it sounds fantastic. I love the tape vibe but the musicality is great too. Nice work. Stay cool! I've got a wood stove roaring to keep me warm here in Canada!
