Nakura's Music

I was listening to older dance music about a month ago and remembered this song. I had forgotten how much I liked it and remembered that I had tried to remix it back when I first started producing. That did not go well because I did not know what I was doing at all back then. Maybe I still don't know what I am doing, but I sure am a lot more skilled now than I was then and I was able to give this song a proper treatment now. I completely transformed the feeling of the song by giving it a longer chord progression, more in line with how I normally do chords. I then put a classic style hardcore riff over the top and I am really happy with how it turned out. Super glad that I decided to remix this.

I can't believe that I have been doing this for more than ten years! The 2010's where the era where I had the most growth as an artist and where a very important time for me. I wanted to start off the new decade by giving all the music that I have made during the 2010's a special release. So that is what I have done, a huge 64 track compilation of all my best and most popular music.

All of this music is very important to me and has a lot of memories behind it. Some good, some bad, but all special. There are also a lot of remixes that are important to me as well, but I did not include them. I wanted this to be a release that showcased all my original music. If you want my remixes, I released RMX in 2019, so check that out if you want my remix work. I also wanted to include a lot of my non hardcore music early in the planning stage, but I decided against it. Hardcore is what I made the most of and I needed to focus the album.

I am super proud of what I was able to make over the 2010's and am kind of amazed that I have made so much music. I think this compilation turned out great, and I want to give a big thanks to Debisco for giving me pointers with the artwork. I also want to thank all of you, who listen to and enjoy my music. I think it is so cool that I am able to make something that people enjoy and I am so thankful for you all. Here's to another ten years of making music!

Happy new year and new decade everyone! Lets start the decade off with some old school style happy hardcore. This track was originally finished in 2018 and was supposed to be part of a free compilation album. The album never ended up happening and I forgot about it. I rediscovered it last month and gave it a refresh so I can give it a proper release. The song features one of my favorite acapellas mixed in with some M1 piano, breaks, stabs and a big kick for some old school vibes. Really like this song and I can't believe I forgot about it lol.

This track was made at the same time as Live For Real, my song on SEVEN's CODE, and is similar to that track. The vocals are some of my favorites and I used them as a placeholder/backup until the vocals I had commissioned for Live For Real where recorded. I started working on it separately from my SEVEN's CODE work and it ended up becomings its own thing. I have always wanted to make a song with these vocals and I am super glad that this track came together so well :)

This has been available for a while on my Patreon. Since it is so similar to my SEVEN's CODE song, I did not want to release it until after the game was out. If you want early access to my music, all kinds of other goodies and want to help support me, please consider donating.

I worked on this song from start to (mostly) finish during my Patreon live streams. It was an interesting experience working on a song that way, but a little annoying when I had an idea for it and had to wait until the next stream to implement it lol. It's a more traditional style hardcore song, instead of the 2-step type I had been working on. It felt good to go back to making something with a standard 4x4 beat, but I am still liking the 2-step stuff a little more. I ended up calling it Indian Summer because of how hot the autumn had been where I live, there was still some summer holding on. Anyway, pretty happy with how this song turned out and am looking forward to hearing what I come up with next in my streams.

MY MUSIC IS IN A GAME! This is my song in the new rhythm game from Naoki Maeda, SEVEN's CODE. It has always been a dream of mine to be in a rhythm game, and I still can't believe it has come true. Really surreal. Huge thanks to Naoki & the SEVEN's CODE team for making this a reality.

I was going through my large acapella collection for something to use/remix and came across these vocals. I had never heard the original before, but I really liked the vocals, so I just had to remix it. After spending some time listening to the original song, I was able to figure out the chords and basic structure. Then I wrote my own original melody around the vocals and I am super happy with what I came up with, especially considering the original does not really have a lead melody. Really like how this song came out overall, enjoy.

My birthday falls on the same day as Autumn this year. Which is super cool since Autumn is my favorite season, so I just had to make a song for the occasion. I went with another DnB/Hardcore hybrid track, I have been really digging that style. A lot of my other Autumn themed songs use the Korg Monotron Duo to some extent, so I dusted the Monotron off and used it in this track. That synth now has a very Autumn feel to me now because of this. Everything just kind of came together with this one, and I am really happy with how it turned out. Happy Autumn everyone!

Also, since this is a special occasion, I thought it would be cool to include the remix pack for the song. This is normally something that I have as a reward for my $5 Patrons, but I wanted to give it out as a gift to everyone for my birthday and the first day of Autumn.

I've really been liking the 2-step DnB/Hardcore hybrid stuff I have been making lately, so I made a few more original tracks in that style and compiled them into an EP. I also wanted to would give Summer Breeze, the first track I made in this style, a proper release and named the EP after it. The EP also uses mostly the same artwork from the Summer Breeze single, which might be a little lazy, but I really like it and wanted to use it again. I am very happy with this collection of tracks, and am excited to make more songs in this style.

For Summer Breeze, I wanted to make a DnB song using the same production style and arrangement that I would use in a UK Hardcore track. The end result is skewed more towards the DnB side, but I feel I more or less accomplished what I originally set out to do with this track. The vocals where a last minute addition that I think really helped complete the song and made it sound and flow much better than if I had left it as an instrumental like I originally intended. I tried around 7 (million) or so vocals before I settled on these, I like the theme and they flow really well with the already existing chords.

Guiding Light is the second track that I started in the style of Summer Breeze and I was actually a little stuck on it for a while. The ideas where not really coming to me at first, but I was eventually able to get something going that I really like. This song is written in a major scale, which is something that I normally don't do, I just have a hard time making things I like the sound of, but this time I was able to come up with something I like. I could not come up with a title for this one, but eventually I settled on Guiding Light after looking some artwork with the same name by Alena Aenami.

Another song named after some Alena Aenami art. I usually turn to her work for inspiration, really fantastic paintings. I am particularly proud of Endless, I think I did a really good job on the melody. I actually had the vocal samples in before I knew what the title was going to be and kind of struggled to think of something that fit. Eventually after seeing the Aenami painting, I thought Endless was a really cool title and fits the vocals well enough.

INB4. Endless. Ends.

Finally, Autumn Breeze is mostly the same song as Summer Breeze, but the melodys and everything (except the stuff that would sound terrible) is in reverse. I was going to call it Winter Breeze, since that is actually the opposite of Summer, but I like Autumn more and it is closer, so I went with that. I don't normally mirror stuff like this, but I think it has an interesting sound and was a cool way to finish off the EP.
