Word of warning: This track is loud, noisy and angry and not for the clubs. I mean, if it’s actually gonna be played at a club, that’s awesome. But the main reason why I self-released it, is that I couldn’t imagine that there is a label that would actually be interested in it. Maybe in the “Anything goes” era of the 90s and early 2000s, when this would’ve maybe even been played on VIVA 2. But it’s simply as uncommercial as these things come. I don’t even know if there is a genre for it? Is it Hardcore? Breakbeat? Yes and no. Also I don’t know. Beatport describes it as “Neo Rave” and I don’t know what that is, so I accept it with a shrug.

Originally it was called DEPRESSION BOOGIE and conceived on one of many very shitty days. I opened up Ableton and just wanted to relief my anger by making the hardest and loudest beat I could come up with. No, really! I also was listening to Atari Teenage Riot at that time, so that was maybe an influence. (Another one would be maybe Metallica’s ST. ANGER album, which is the only one of their albums that I own, but that’s a different topic.) The result is however an overly compressed Breakbeat loop, with some extra boom, squeaky 303s and a chopped up and filtered electric guitar loop, that sounds more like a red alert.

In the middle is a sample from YOU CAN’T GET AWAY FROM A GOOD THING by John Byrd & Dorothea Epps (Shout out to Tracklib), that keeps telling you that “There ain’t nothing that you can do”, which is how things often feel.

Now is this a fatalistic or even negativity-endorsing track? No, despite its background story and being named after one of the dumbest possible advice you can give someone who suffers from depression, this is more angry, than that. I want you to blow off some steam by listening to it. Life sucks, but at least you can turn your speakers up and make the walls shake. You are stronger than the world and I hope this track will make you feel like it.

Get it now on Bandcamp or the store of your choice (if available) or stream it on Spotify or wherever else it is!
