Clocking Out

This is the time of year where it feels like I've never written a song before. Grabbed this track out of the trash bin, it's been kicking around since week one and has been gathering and losing bits every couple of months. Kind of reminds me of my older stuff, but finally decided to finish it since it's better than nothing. Hopefully everyone is adjusting well to the time changes this week!

At least every song for a while will basically be the first now. You never forget your first.

That's definitely an apt way to describe a familiar feeling.
Really digging this one - glad it got to see the light of day!

I wish my first song (or this week's) had this pace and uplifting goodness! smile  Excellent machine-gun drums and feeling a bit of a DnB vibe.  Those bright synths remind me a bit of the kart racing themes you were working on earlier.  Oooh and that outro verbage yais!

Ooo this is super neat, kinda gives me DKC vibes.

Yeah, it never seems to go away, but I guess I've learned to work through it.

I have a few DnB tracks from the beginning of the year that just didn't make the cut. But this beat made it!

It's been a long time since I've played it last, but I remember it had good vibes!

I love the hectic beat on this one. A lot of groove also with that bass.

Thanks!

It's satisfying to finally be able to complete a song that's been gathering dust for a while. This sounds awesome, I love the way the between sections continue to build upwards to the next big groove. Great dreamy ending too!

Thanks! Glad you dig this dusty groove!

Beautiful sweeping synth chases! Very whimsical with a touch of bitter sweet in the chords and melody. Damn, hate it when someones trash is better than my prime cuts... what else you got in the trash bin?

To be fair it needed a lot of work to not be a dumpster fire.

Great track and one of my favorites! I definitely got some SNES vibes at times, except for the fact that this song is awesome and SNES songs aren't. smile I'd love to hear some ipaghost-style DnB tracks in the future.

I used to do some DnB back in the day, like the 90s and early 2k. I think I might have a few tracks on WB, this one comes to mind. I wound have to make some new DnB specific drum kits in Sytrus.
