Such a Waste

By jegasus on February 15, 2026 11:42 pm


Well hello there!!!
Thank you so much for stopping by and giving my weird tune a listen!
This one doesn't have any lore to it because it came together VERY much at the last minute. Once again, I did not have all that music-making time this week, so I arrived on Sunday empty handed. Just a few hours before the due time, I joined the M8 Discord chat and, with some help from Dustsucker, I managed to get this thing out.
It's called "such a waste" because I really like the build-up, but given my time constraint, I felt like I didn't get much of a chance to really explore it more and use that juicy drop goodness, so instead of allowing myself to feel frustrated, I just made myself laugh and started using meme samples instead, hahahaha... And yes, it is Taco Bell. It's just pitched down a bit.

Oh, also: apologies to folks for not leaving any comments this past week. I just had some other life and community organizing stuff going on this week, so my music time was really cut short. Also, I've been trying to spend more time with my banjo, which has also been taking up bigger chunks of my time. Maybe I'll be able to incorporate it in a Weekly Beats... Who knows...

Anyways, thanks for being such a cool community and leaving such kind comments on my songs, I really appreciate y'all heart

Cheers, folks!!!

M8 has a microphone
You have a banjo
Just saying

Just heard the sample 😂

Haha very keen to hear your banjo playing!

And this is great, man!
Glad you still got this out, even it frustrated you.

I miss the lore though...

Haha have a great week, man!

RELEASE THE BANJOOOOOOOO

*this was a fun listen, my Friend. thank you heart

The lead synth line in the beginning is quite catchy.  Some cool textures abound as well.  And yes!  Let's hear some banjo this year!

LIFTOFF at 1min. love the layers at 1:30 and all the quack quacks. Catchy melodies!

Agree with you the buildup is nice (especially the gating). But I'm also a big fan of the buzzy saw (both as a lead and as an almost metal chug under the drop) and the high tom. Glad you are able to make time to be silly even with community organizing

+1 on the request for banjo

nice work.
looking forward to some banjo.
Have you been watching Steve Martin videos? His banjo playing is unreal. There's a tiny desk concert of his on youtube.

ooooh nice build up!  love those 303 squelchies and da taco bailllll! also +1 banjo? yes please!

This was a fun listen! I like the low rumbly stuff throughout. There's some really cool rhythms in here.

Always a super fun listen. Love your stuff Jeg

Just cut the slack, so many places to go
