Hey guys, time to make a bit of an announcement here too.

I'm going on an indefinite break for a good while (might be a few months, I really don't know) to concentrate on my finals and hopefully come back with fresh ideas for music.

This will be a big and difficult year for me, but if everything goes well I will be able to get a diploma and go on to get a job! This said, I truly believe that putting aside music for a while is not gonna hurt anyone.

Also, on a side note: I've made most of my recent tracks available for free download here on NG, so feel free to grab any song you liked to listen everywhere you want to :)

Hello NG fam, long time no see from me! Last post I made on this site was over 2 years ago which is... Embarrassing, considering how much I used to kinda just hang around here some time ago.

Anyway, LOTS has happened ever since that last announcement post, especially things that are better kept private for the sake of my own privacy.

One thing that some of you may obviously have seen is that even though I stopped really interacting on the site, I kept uploading whatever tracks I had made at the time, which is really the least I could do.

I'm mentioning this because I want to make somewhat of a "comeback" to this site (mainly being a bit more active with the community here) but we'll have to see about that for now.

As for new music, a new track is on it's way to digital stores! It's a VIP of an older track I made, and in my opinion it sounds pretty decent. And on the topic of music... I'm slowly planning on finally switching DAW! Very few people will care about this, but up until this point I have been constantly producing on a 10 year old abandonware mobile DAW called "Caustic", which don't get me wrong: it's an amazingly simple and powerful DAW to start on, but it's proving every day even more limiting for the things I'd wish to produce... So I'm planning to phasing from Caustic to most probably FL Studio, since it's been on my radar for a while now.

Soooo... All in all, if you've read this far and asked yourself why I've made this random post rambling about seemingly random stuff, it's mostly because I want to show everyone here that I'm not completely dead lol, time has not been on my side ever since I started my apprenticeship (which btw I'm already on my last year jesus christ) and song ideas have been sparce to say the least. I've got a few more ID's to cook up for the future (some more finished than others) so be on the lookout for future releases.

So yeah, that's about it for the moment!

To anyone reading, have a good rest of your day/night!

Check out a preview of the tracks here!

Guys this has been a HELL to finish, but it's finally done and I will be publishing 8 tracks on April 27th (not all at once) and I really hope y'all will like what I have in program.

There will be many experimental tracks of various genres, so be ready to listen!

Have a good day/night,

Yo guys.

You all most likely noticed my really long ''break'' by now. I am sorry for not updating anyone on this site on whats been happening the last couple of months, but I will tell you some hopefully good news to keep the audience on NG interested.

First of all, keep in mind that I'm still at the ''start'' (first year) of my apprenticeship, and that's my priority over anything else. For me music is just a hobby, not a real job were I can gain financially from it.

As for my music projects, I have been silently working on a moderately big EP (6/7 tracks in total) that I'm going to publish ASAP. It's still under going production, since I finished only 3 tracks for real. Inspiration has been on the low end for a lot of time now, and new ideas hardly come out of me. But I'm still gonna release it, with many new genres I had the fun to explore more over time. The name of the EP is going to be ''Reverse Polarity'', and tbh it just sounds cool, so it has no deep meaning lol.

Once again, I'm sorry for my inactivity and all, but priorities are... well, priorities.

Hopefully I'm gonna be able to finish the EP by February, but until then...

Have a good day/night

Yep, it's out now on Spotify and other streaming services too! Have a great time listening to the song guys :D

IT'S HERE YES HHAAHAHAHAHHA GO AND LISTEN TO THAT HELL OF A SONG AAAAAAAAA

Yeah it's published here on Newgrounds earlier than YouTube, enjoy and be sure to leave a review!

EDIT: it's now available everywhere, youtube included! Had a little talk with Spavit about it, and he gave me full permission to upload everything everywhere.

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO I FINALLY FINISHED THE OST YES!!

Okay, so some of you might remember that last year I did an OST for @Spavit and his MC animation. This year we worked together again, and after 2 MONTHS of grinding on the song, it's finally over and I can say without thinking twice that it's absolutely my best, biggest and most detailed song I've EVER made in all my 3 years of music production :D

The animation by Spavit is still not out yet. It is indeed finished and is ready to be published on the 22nd of september, when the MC Day 2021 will take place here on Newgrounds!

I can't wait the release date for the song, I promise it'll be an EPIC track!

Have a good day/night,

Yo guys, it's been quite a while since I haven't said anything here on NG, but I really wanted these little infos to be here for people to read too, since I already said this on YT. Basically, I'll have to slow down production quite a lot or maybe even take a break for a while. If you want to know why, just read what I've written down here.

This is the reason of why I might stop production for a while:

-I've started out my first apprenticeship and I have to focus on that before anything, so for a couple of months music won't be my priority, but mostly my studies. Expect a major lack of content through mid September till mid November, as I have to do courses for my job.

So, before anything: I'm NOT quitting music production. There is no way this will happen in the near future. Maybe the most ''extreme'' thing I'll do is take a break (perhaps even a long one) as said, and if that was the case I would make an announcement for that.

If you have any questions regarding this situation, don't hesitate to ask me, I'll try my best to respond.

Also, as I spoiled before on another video (btw I spoil quite a lot of stuff on my YT channel, so maybe check it out if you still haven't), I'm working on some BIG projects that are coming soon enough, one of them being the new Project MERC 2 OST (coming out in September, so tune in in that time frame :D) I'm working on that's going to be a whopping 8 minutes long song, maybe even more! Also I'm planning to make a new EP, but it's still just a thought, and *if* I'll actually make it, just know that it won't be related to dubstep for once lol.

This was pretty much everything, hope I've been clear on all the stuff said in this post, since I don't usually make this kind of announcements. Have a nice day/night!

Best regards
