THE BOY
CHEMICAL is my 8th EP. It consists of 4 beat music tracks. Heavily influenced by 90s UK Dance music. The similar artists are The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy. Basically, all four songs are energetic, intense and aggressive. The genres are Big beat / Electronic rock / Breakbeat. The most relevant genre is Big beat. This is for rock audiences, suitable for outdoor and loud. Suitable for rock festivals. The first track is DEAD SYMPHONY. 123 BPM. 3m40s. This is an energetic, intense and aggressive song, especially in the chorus (The impressive sound effects in the chorus part are made from my voice). The beat and Lo-fi Hip hop piano are also unique features of this track. Second track is THERE IS LOVE. 120 BPM. 6m6s. The intro is long, but bear with it. It leads into a terrifyingly flashy and groovy tune. This was heavily influenced by Led Zeppelin and punk bands such as Primal Scream. Third track is SCARY TRUTH. 135 BPM. 9m39s. The longest track in this EP. But this is the most psychedelic and rave-like, so this is perfect for listening to while swaying back and forth. In short, this can be used as a good BGM. The last track is BEGINNING 3. 140 BPM. 6m1s. This is avant-garde and lacks any clear scale-based melody. In that sense, this may be similar to Polygon Window QUOTH. Dance music consists only of beats, sound effects, and noise. I guess I just hate common sense and preconceived notions.
