Mercury Retrograde - Kayos2

7th Aug 2025 21:03 - 1 year ago
Description : A long time goal of ours was to produce an Electroswing song. Mercury Retrograde means that your day is actually spoiled with problems (If you believe in Astrology) due to the fact that Mercury seems to rotate in a different direction. Thank you 8keey,1Eig8ty and Baby Vice Beats for the loops. And now: Please Start to swing :-)

wow, Kay great vocal performance your vox are so matched to this style, great delivery, the track is music from yesteryear when cabaret was all, i could picture the jazz band and dancing girls in red frocks bopping either side. all your vocals are good Kay, singing or rapping but this was spectacularly good, top marks Oli on the production

The Olster is at the top of production tree - I am blessed he knows how to showcase my vocals and has such an intuitive connection to the music - thank you for sharing your vision - we were aiming to get that kinda stuff in peoples' minds ;)

Oh boy, this one is something. So good Kayos, how could a person not move to this. I always thought about taking a stab at a swing type track, and now it's a must...lol. Awesome work, I love this.

A purely artistic song of a great team that you two have. It is so surprisingly good what inspires you to write such good music. It is so common among us the expression of Mercury retrograde that messes all it up, and you made beautiful lyrics with melody and rhythm inside, a great musician worked on it and the outcome is a awesome song, full of love for life even in its "bad" moments. I admire your works, you always get me amazed. My compliments on this.
Best regards, Anthony

Well that was unexpected. I love the New Orleans jazz cabaret sound here. Honestly, I think this is your best by way of vocals. They fit right in the mix, and they sound good. If you were to do more of this, I would not complain, one bit.
As far as Mercury being in retrograde, I think that's every day in my camp!
Take care.

I know what you mean, if I listen to a jazz track 'I get it' but it isn't my bag - electro-swing isn't a typically popular genre but it does hold a space for us, while we get our next rock track together ;)

That was FUN! Loved the track. Instrumentation was excellent, vocals were great. I have never heard of "electroswing", but then I'm woefully ignorant about virtually all EDM genres. But, speaking as an "oldie", if not a "goodie", it was a wonderful surprise and really, really, well produced. Thanks for sharing this with us on LM.

On a side note, I wanted to start mentioning to people that the Collab Album that Cyberflares and I had put alot of work into is finally finished, after unforseen delays. Its called The Lozerz Club, and its free to download from my Google Drive with a link. If you'd be interested in having it, LMK and ill email the link to you. Happy Music making man.

Your voice never fails to grab my attention Kay. What i love the most about your work (and olli's) is that youre always experimenting, trying something new or different, pushing countless boundaries simply bcuz u want to, it's who u are. Some of your ideas completely surprise me bcuz of that - but that's an extremely good thing. I enjoy it, and I learn from u too. I have plans to explore some new things myself bcuz ur work intrigued me and gave me the desire to do so. I value that very much, Thank you.. As for this song, I enjoyed it. I kept thinking of random things while I was listening, but ill run out of space if I start talking about it lol. I'd say u accomplished what u set out to tho. Great work as always. -Aaron

Hello Kay , I really enjoyed this track ! There are moments when everything (one after the other as if it were planned) really goes wrong...and the song perfectly conveys this feeling of irritation, yet with its rhythm and style it gives a pleasant hopeful mood that everything will (eventually) go well !!! It is a wonderful track ! Cheersssssssssssssss !!

I am familiar with Mercury Retrograde and all its darned frustrations, so the lyrics were easy to write. We wanted to reflect the amusing side, so I'm glad u picked up on that optimism ;)

Description : A blend of heavy bass, melodic piano vibes, and atmospheric synth textures. I wanted to create a sound that balances powerful low-end energy with emotional melodies and subtle sonic layers.
I'm still learning and improving my production skills. I'd really appreciate your honest feedback on the overall sound, mixing, bass balance, melody, and arrangement.

This is one of my latest experiments in EDM production. Hope you enjoy listening!
