ABSOLUTE HAZE
EXPERIENCE IT
UNTIL THE FLAME BURNS BRIGHTER
It's been a very, very long time.
A lot has happened since my last song release. Jobs, people, college, etc....
I built a new computer and moved all of my music projects there. Took a bit to get used to the new place, but it all worked out in the end. There's a lot I want to talk about, but I'm terrible at writing these sorts of things. Long story short, I haven't been able to work on music for some time due to many, many life circumstances. I'm going to college soon for music production, so maybe that'll help.
I always wanted to make music. Recently, I got into parapara. Listening to eurobeat and hyper techno made me realize how much I love this sorta stuff again. The excitement, the pulse, the sound of it all... I wanted to go back to my roots. To the people that inspired me to love this music. Realizing that good-cool's SENSE was inspired by Juliana's Tokyo music and the Japanese 90's rave scene as a whole, I wanted to make something with that sound again... the HARD RAVE name came back to me...
And so, I decided to make a sort of "Red Light 2". I wanted those classic stabs back, the loud electronic drum rack, the crazy vocal samples... It took me months of motivation, experimenting and acceptance to make something again. But I finally stuck to my guns and went for it. Another classic 90's rave track from yours truly! I wanted to give it a speedier BPM (145BPM), compared to the more deliberate house rhythm of the original Red Light... (Hoping this gets a techpara routine someday! The BMS cut would work perfectly for it... 'v';)
For the first time, I'm including an extended cut of the song on this release! It's made with the intended purpose of having it be used for live sets, megamixes, etc.. For DJs! Because of this, I'm making this my first paid single! You'll get both the original BMS track, the extended cut, and a bonus radio edit!
I wanted to thank all of the people who helped me out through these times:
my friends (June, Welson, Noor, Isa, Ruth, Michael Macaw, Nalos, Tangle, 0x0CA7F00D, Merf, Wes, Will, Mido, Firlow, Bay, Ben, Jonathan "Fresca" Campbell, Alex, Seech, Sharb, and of course, Isabelle, who made the BMS), folks from the ParaPara community (Ryan, Bill, Beth and Skylar), my brother Victor, the folks over at UADY, my counselor Alcocer, Lewis Shields, Anthony Cloudy from Cloudy Games LLC, and every single artist that has ever inspired my music taste and development.
Without you all, I wouldn't be where I am right now, and I'm eternally grateful.
