Alive

Hey friends!

It's been a while since I did a WB, but I'm keen on hopping onto it this year again as a way of keeping up my creative practice. I did the one in 2016 and lasted the whole year, then only did a few months of 2018, so hoping I can last the whole year this time around.

One of my challenges this year is to use my own vocals in every single track to try and get better at using them, because it's fun and I'm not very good at it...

Here's my first track! A fun DnB number for happy dance-y summer vibes. Vocals are very rough and just recorded through my MacBook microphone, but they're there! I hope you like it. smile

Lyrics:

Find me
By the light
I’ll be there
Waiting
For us to leave
‘Cause I believe that
We could
Save the world
Then maybe
One day
We’d fly into the night
And we could feel alive

This is fun. 

Vocals sound great, just have a different tone from the music.  Vocals are tough as hell, so stoked to see you work on it all year

Welcome back and it's always great to hear vocals on tracks.  Good luck on incorporating them every week! 

@PantherMountain @CosmicCairns Thanks folks! We'll see how long I last with the vocals thing, but I think it's a good goal to have nonetheless.

the dnb elements were definitely welcomed, I'm not into pop but this bouncing. nice mix btw

@moloko thank you. smile

great start on the vocals! inspiring me to try too. congrats on week 1!

pure uplifting energy cool

@nedsferatu @RajaTheResidentAlien Thank you both! smile

Honestly, I would never have guessed these vocals were recorded on a laptop mic. Your processing is on point! Great job. Excited to hear what you'll come up with next!

Thank you!! Definitely finding that I love producing this style of music, so there will be more! big_smile

Your 2016 beats were so inspiring man. I downloaded sooo many of them and still listen to them a couple times a year. You've damn near mastered how to put so much strong energy in your beats that I can't keep away from them. This track is no exception to that. This bassline has such a clear pulsating in it, so well done on mixing that in here.

Alphaglitch!! So good to see you again. smile

Thank you so much for the kind words, that's so awesome to hear you still listen to some of my old beats! Really glad you like this one too. smile
