Night Drive

Hey, it’s been a good while without any updates, but Halloween is a good time to give some. Turns out I’m still alive and kicking, I’ve just been looking into other things besides music lately, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t gonna be new songs – in fact, I have one here right now: 2023’s Halloween Mix, Night Drive!

Night Drive is a Eurobeat-inspired take on Diddy Kong Racing‘s Haunted Woods, which I already featured several times in past Halloween Mixes. It also includes just a little bit of Sturm’s Theme (Advance Wars) for good measure.

And here’s the video, I didn’t really change anything to the format, but you get some bouncy Wizpigs at least:

And with that, Halloween is saved! …Right?

No idea when the next song is gonna come up and what it’ll be, but keep your eyes peeled, I guess! Also if you’re into the spooks, you can check out my Halloween playlist featuring all of the past Halloween Mixes, including this one!

Happy Halloween!

Updates

Schedule update

Hey everyone, despite the stress at work I’m still alive and kicking! I’ve been doing some thinking about my music and wanted to share a little big update on how things are gonna go from now on.

Let me start by saying: I’ve made a LOT of remixes and medleys in the last few years and honestly, I feel it got kinda stale – a lot of my more recent songs feel uninspired, lack creativity and they all fit in the same pattern.

So I decided to slow down my schedule considerably, take a few steps back, watch some tutorials and learn how to do basic parts of song writing (which I never properly learned) and try out different styles.

My goal from here on out will be to make more original songs, but also to make remixes in different styles that I can be truly proud of. It will be a journey, but I sincerely hope it will pay off in the end.

Thank you for all of your continued support! I want to specifically thank all of those who commented on a related post on this topic I made on my YouTube channel, supporting me and wishing me the best – thank you so much for that, I’ll try to make something truly worth listening to!

New song(s)

Burning Spirit

I’m back with another song, and this one will fell somewhat familiar midway through although it’s not a remake: Burning Spirit is the continuation of last year’s song Way of the Fist and shares some parts of that song.

Although it also features Chun-Li Stage (Street Fighter II) and Victory Fanfare (Final Fantasy IV) like Way of the Fist, the focus is on the other themes, namely Primordial Beat (Touhou 14: Double Dealing Character), The Tiger Patterned Vaisravana (Touhou 12: Undefined Fantastic Object) and Fabul (Final Fantasy IV).

Burning Spirit (164081 downloads )

For that reason, the video features Shou, Raiko and Yang:

I’ve been trying a few things out aside from the usual uploads and I feel like I have to if I want to move forward. This also means that uploads are likely going to be less frequent in general, but hopefully I can upload more interesting songs to make up for it (don’t expect too much though).
