No blog post today. My birthday is July 3rd and I'm taking the week to just play video games and watch movies/tv. Plus, we're having a heat wave in Michigan. In the meantime, check out my latest track Kicking and Screaming, retro electro energy for a hot summer day! youtu.be/m1dPcwkV_p8?...

From The Vault Last week I shared Mistakes And Perfume. This week I want to shine a spotlight on totally reworked version I made in 2024. Producers, do you like to remake older songs? Listeners, do you like it when your favorite artists remake older song?

🎵 From The Vault Today I'm revisiting Mistakes and Perfume. This song was created back in 2023. One thing I still love about it is the reese bass. Listen here:

It’s so crazy that 490 people have subscribed to my YouTube channel since starting my music journey. No paid ads or constant promotion. Just random people stumbling onto my music and staying. That’s pretty cool.

Ai usage is a bit of a hot topic in the electronic music scene right now, so I decided to make a blog post about my early use of ai images for single covers and why I decided to move away from using it. laxraxmusic.blogspot.com/2026/02/why-...

I have some really cool ideas for cover art pictures and music visualizers for YouTube. I just need to focus and not be lazy about it. I think I posted these before, but here is a photo I took on the way home from work one night, I edited it with Canva. Lettering could be bigger, but I like it.

Shimmering synths. Punchy 80s drums. Clean low end. That wasn’t always the case. New Neon Notes is up. I break down how my mixing has changed and why I now build clarity into the song from the start, and the next blog talks about a heated subject. Neon Notes posts every Wednesday.

Got some ideas for cover art for new and old songs. Thrift shop is the best bet, can find some gems there. Been slowly replacing my old ai cover art using real photos and editing them with Canva. Tbh, didn’t think about it when I first started, I was just focused on the music. No excuses, anymore.

The family and I have been binge watching some tv shows lately. Finished Breaking Bad, again. Almost done with Better Call Saul, finished Sons of Anarchy, GoT, The Boys. I prefer sci fi and fantasy but the family as a whole prefers crime drama it seems. What are some good crime dramas?

Even though I create, and save tons of Serum synth patches, I almost always create a new patches when I make a new song. I could just use some of my presets but that’s no fun. Sure it’s faster, but I like tinkering. Plus, sometimes you have happy accidents, and make something truly unique.

My first blog is live! It's a weekly series I call Neon Notes, it's intention is a way for me to think out loud. I could talk music and music production all day, or share cool stories of how a song came to be. At least they're cool stories to me. Anyway, check it out here. laxraxmusic.blogspot.com/

I decided to start a blog. We’ll see where it goes, but it’s intended to be a place where I can share my thought, ideas, inspirations, about the music or just life in general. The posts will be every Wednesday at 12 pm est starting this upcoming Wednesday. I’ll share it when it goes live!

My latest single from my upcoming EP is now available on SoundCloud! I've been locked out of SoundCloud and finally gained access this morning! Give it a listen, leave a comment, like it, share it, anything helps me reach a wider audience! soundcloud.com/laxrax/i-don...
