Wow, this was rushed out fast. I thought my contribution to SOS7 finished with "Howard Jones" (released as 'Demichelis').
As usual i tried to make something i'd like to listen to, putting together elements that i love or used to, namely: early rap style, 90s style, Commodore 64, melancholic female melodies, 303, demoscene, cheese, 8 and 12 but D/A converters, a simple bassline leading the track, Commodore 64, SID, funky guitars, and, don't know if named it, c64 :). So, just enjoy :)
lyrics
Commander K and Twisty J rocking this space,
Hey DHS, give me some bass!
1, 2, 3...
Another day passed in the demoscene,
On my 64, crafting dreams unseen,
I code with precision, breaking through the mold,
Unleash magic, watch the visuals unfold.
With every byte I write, a masterpiece takes shape,
Diving into the depths of this digital landscape,
I'm a demoscene soldier, raising the bar,
Commodore 64, scene's brightest star.
Another day and counting,
He wants to lose time, lose time, alone,
All the things he really loved were gone,
forgotten, gone.
I'm a wizard of code, an artist with pixels,
On my brown breadbin, I weave digital miracles,
From great demos to mind-bending effects,
I break the barriers, leaving public perplexed.
With parallax scrollers and SID symphonies,
I sculpt virtual worlds that bring joy and glee,
The demoscene thrives with passion and love,
Unleashing creativity, soaring above.
DHS drops bombs, a sonic fascination,
Feel the scene groove, no need for hesitation,
From Italian Bad Boys to The SoundWavers,
Always going along with misbehavers.
Another day has gone by,
He wants to be away, be away, afar,
All the things he really wanted were gone,
beyond reach, gone.
In the realm of 8-Bits where legends are born,
Commodore 64 the machine we adore,
together we'll rise, pushing boundaries higher,
fueling the scene with relentless desire.
Let the demoscene thrive, in this modern age,
Commodore 64, where memories engage,
Another day and counting, i'm changing my mind,
I found what i've lost, a love redefined.
Another day and counting,
He's found his passion back, passion back, oh yeah,
All the things He really loved were there,
Forever, there.

Contrairement à ce que le titre peut laisser croire, le Sound Interface Device de la Commodore 64 n'est pas la seule composante de C64 ReMIXed car LukHash le croise avec de l'electro. Par contre, cette compilation regroupe ses premières entrées dans un univers plus synthwave : c'est rythmé et super efficace ! Pour faire simple : prenez l'énergie contenue dans un pain de C4, multipliez là par seize et vous obtiendrez celle transmise par C64 ReMIXed. Cette compilation est aussi bonne que ça ! Jordan Vauvert
Dans THE OTHER SIDE, la première personne qui passe de l'autre côté, c'est LukHash. Désormais, l'intégralité de la musique est assistée par ordinateur : en plus de la chiptune et de la dubstep viennent se rajouter des chants cybernétiques ("THE OTHER SIDE", "ITAEWON", "SURVIVE") et des structures aussi rythmées que complexes ("ANDROID"). Il ne nous faudra que quelques secondes pour passer nous-mêmes de l'autre côté car c'est tout un monde électronique joyeux qui s'ouvre. Une petite merveille ! Jordan Vauvert
GHOSTS : un titre idéal pour un album sorti en octobre mais pas que. LukHash change de stratégie et fait appel à plusieurs chanteurs et chanteuses — et je ne parle pas de voix passées au mixeur mais bien de vraies performances vocales — ce qui nécessite un ajustement : il se fait plus discret et donc disparaît, en un sens. Il adopte aussi un style plus occidental avec une synthwave influencée par les années 80. Bref, LukHash s'obstine à toujours prendre des risques, c'est son grand point fort ! Jordan Vauvert
