so i found the instruments used for Bowser’s Inside Story’s “In the Final” and decided to use them for my own original song. this is not my footage btw - but i wanted to have a visual of my song actually being in the game and i think it would fit perfectly :)
here’s an idea that just popped into my head at 3am (i have no idea why i’m still awake) that i was able to flesh out in ~20 mins. the very first part sounds almost like Donkey Kong on the NES to me which i found cool. might continue working on this, might not :)
i had an idea for a new jack swing track, so i cracked open my M8 last night and got to work :) it’s a work in progress so i’m thinking about adding more instrumentation to this section. stay tuned!
when making my track “Liminal Space Interlude” for my M8 album Bad Vices, i aimed to recreate/nod to that classic eurodance sound. one of the songs i used as a reference was “Better Off Alone” by Alice Deejay. i played my track for a few friends and they said it reminded them of Better Off Alone, which made me very happy! but it also gave me the idea to try and mash them together. so, i took her vocals and put them over my track. it’s not an official remix at the moment but who knows what the future holds :) my original track is on all streaming platforms under my name amateurLSDJ, as well as my Bandcamp.
my track “Don’t Lie to Me” on my album Bad Vices uses vocals from “Plastic Love” by Mariya Takeuchi. here’s the process of how i sampled her! hope you enjoy and stream/buy my track. it’s on all streaming platforms as well as my Bandcamp page :)

here’s a bit of the outro to my upcoming album Bad Vices. the lead melody is also muted in this clip. i sampled some electric pianos and degraded a few instruments because i just love that downsampled sound lol. the album should be coming VERY soon, aiming for a release in September. this has been the most fun i’ve had making a project thus far and i hope you all tune in for it 🥹
i decided to sample some 808s, kicks, hi hats, and snares typically used in rap to make this beat. honestly i could visualize some rap over this but it’s meant to stand alone as a song. i’m thinking about sampling/chopping some PaRappa the Rapper vocals too lol.
