I just released my first single!

[Taishaku]

Hey guys,
Some of you know me as one of the first remixers from this site, and now finally after many years, I've decided to release my debut single! I did the production, arrangement, mastering and vocal takes by myself.

Here's the Spotify link and the lyric video, inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion:



Hope you like it!
Here's a little backstory in case you have time:

Spoiler:

I wanted to create an old-school Trance/EDM anthem with a future house vibe. As for the lyrics of the song, I wanted them to be political and inspiring, and to be in English instead of Spanish (my native language) so that it would be a message that would reach not only the people of my country, but all over the world.

There is a part that says "even if we have one eye left / we're not blind enough not to see / that we need to keep on fighting". In Chile, 352 people have suffered eye damage due to police brutality in social protests from October 2019 to March this year, before the quarantine period began. While at this time people are already beginning to go outside in the rest of the world, we continue to be locked up, starving and suffering the consequences of a government unable to care for its people.

Although the lyrics were inspired by the social outbreak in Chile, the words are relevant because of the pandemic that's affecting us worldwide at the moment.

It really has a bit of an Ayu feel lyrically. I always loved the design aesthetic of the titlecards/etc from EVA.

Oh, the feels I get from from the beat.. I loved, you did amazing!

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Congratulations on releasing your first single! You should be very proud, the work you did is incredible and the song is really beautiful! I will add in straight into my playlist!

[KPL]

So good!!

Is it possible you'll shoot another video for promo perhaps? Would be interesting to see that beyond the lyric PV!

[EndOfTheWorld]

I think it is so good. I love the blend of classic and modern sound.

Thanks so much!!! I'm very proud you guys like it
Ayu was a fundamental inspiration to me, especially with songs that have a message of unity like "Daybreak", and most of her Trance remixes of course.

I'd love to! There's many ideas I have in mind, but I really wanna make an official PV for the song sometime soon... Let's see how it goes.
There's a remix EP I'm working on right now and I invited people like DJ AMAYA and Breezesquad from Japan to be part of the project. I'll let you know when it's officially released!
