Hello, friends!

Alex on the beat!

This post is a bit off-topic, but I just want to share something with you. Yuki and I finished MiSide, and I highly recommend it! Itā€™s just a great game with a pretty ambiguous ending. The developers really put their heart into it, and you can feel it. Iā€™m honestly surprised that an indie game could hook me like this. MiSide is a prime example that a great game can be created almost single-handedly. You donā€™t need a $30-60M budget, over ten years of development, a massive team, or top-tier hardware to make it work ā€” only for it to still drop to 15 FPS on release.

My only regret is not buying the extended version. The devs did an amazing job and deserve support. So, if youā€™ve got $15 lying around and want to spend an evening playing an unusual and intriguing game that hides a chilling nightmare and a sense of hopelessness behind its candy-coated facade, I highly recommend it!

Honestly, I donā€™t get the hate toward the game. Those who say itā€™s just for teenagers probably didnā€™t even spend an hour playing it.

Anyway, give it a try! And no, this isnā€™t an ad. I mean, who in their right mind would sponsor a channel with 3k subscribers? Especially through community posts! šŸ˜„

Hey guys! Alex on the beat, as always!

So, the New Yearā€™s holidays are over, and itā€™s time to return to the boring routineā€¦ Or is it? Nah, screw the boring routine! On this channel, itā€™s always a party!

And I think now is the perfect time for a little competition. Itā€™s been a while since we had one, right? This Friday, I dropped my first track of 2025 ā€” Scary Tales. And, funny enough, its vibes are kind of similar to a track I released exactly a year ago, which was the first track of 2024. Yep, Iā€™m talking about Bloody Mary! So, hereā€™s the deal: letā€™s decide which track is better!

Cast your vote! And if you havenā€™t had a chance to listen to them yet (though, come on, Bloody Mary dropped a year ago ā€” how could you miss it? šŸ˜), head over to the Videos (or Releases) section and check them both out.

And donā€™t forget to share your thoughts about the tracks in the comments! You know I read all your feedback and try to reply whenever I can.

So, are you ready? Letā€™s go! šŸŽ¶šŸ”„

šŸŽ¶ Hey, friends! šŸŽ¶

Alex is on the beat! šŸŽ§

2024 is coming to an endā€”a year many predicted to be the one for me. The year where Iā€™d rise to fame, rack up millions of streams and views, and the world would start talking about Alex Esseker as a top-tier artist, with my waifus becoming a global trend.

Wellā€¦ that didnā€™t happen. The prophecies didnā€™t come true. But you know what? Iā€™m not upset. šŸ˜Š Iā€™ve shared more about why I let go of my ambitions for global fame on my Patreon. If youā€™re curious, feel free to check it outā€”the post is public.

But hey, donā€™t think this New Yearā€™s post is about to turn into a pity party! Nope. Instead, I want to take a look back and appreciate the journey Iā€™ve been on with all of you this year. And honestly? Thereā€™s plenty to be proud of!

šŸŽµ I created 66 tracks this year. Not bad, huh? Some of them performed pretty wellā€”SENPAI is about to hit 300K streams on YouTube Music, for example. Others didnā€™t get the attention they deserved. Maybe the algorithms buried them, or maybe I made some wrong choices as a creator. Iā€™m human, and mistakes happen.

šŸŽ„ Our channel grew! A year ago, I was dreaming of hitting just 1,000 subscribers. Now, weā€™re close to 4,000! Is that a lot? Depends on how you look at it. From YouTubeā€™s perspective, itā€™s not huge. But for me, thatā€™s 4,000 amazing people who appreciated my music enough to hit subscribe. That means the world to me, and Iā€™m endlessly grateful to each of you!

šŸ’” This year, I launched a Patreon, giving those of you who want to support me financially a way to do so. Living in Ukraine under current circumstances is tough, and finances can be a real struggle. Your support not only motivates me to keep going but also helps cushion the blows. Thank you so much for being there for me. šŸ™

šŸŽØ Letā€™s not forget the new characters who joined us this yearā€”Luna, Crystal, and Nancy! That brings us to a total of 8 mascots, making this channel truly unique. Each of you can find a waifu to your liking, and I plan to do more with them in the future. From novels to (hopefully) video games, the possibilities are endless! Over the past few months, Iā€™ve been diving into Unity. Itā€™s way harder than I expectedā€”programming is a serious challenge for me. But Iā€™m determined, and I hope Iā€™ll figure it out!

āœØ So, hereā€™s to a New Year filled with dreams coming true, goals being smashed, and, most importantly, peace. May 2025 bring an end to the war and bring health, happiness, and prosperity to you and your loved ones.

šŸŽ† Happy New Year, friends! šŸŽ†

Now, I want to hear from you! Tell me in the commentsā€”what stood out to you most about 2024? Maybe share a personal story, an achievement, or let me know which of my tracks this year was your favorite! For me, itā€™s definitely ANGELā€™S BLOOD. What about you?

I canā€™t wait to read your comments!

Yours,
Alex šŸ’œ

I wish all Catholic Christians a Merry Christmas!

As for me, Iā€™m not a religious person, so thereā€™s not much I can say about this holiday. But what I truly want to express is this: I wish everyone peace, good health, warmth in your homes, and loved ones by your side. I believe these are the things that truly matter. Everything else will follow.

Hey, friends! šŸŽ„

Alex on the beat! šŸŽ§

The winter holidays are upon us, and, as per tradition, Iā€™m dropping a special themed track called THE LAST CHRISTMAS. If you havenā€™t listened to it yet, make sure to check it out on our channel! I even got nostalgic and put together a little animation just for you. šŸ–¤āœØ

Now, about the trackā€¦ Itā€™s not your typical remix. On one hand, itā€™s a fresh take on a Christmas song we all grew up with (for me, it feels more like a New Yearā€™s song, since New Yearā€™s is the bigger holiday where Iā€™m from). But on the other hand, reflecting on the songā€™s title and everything happening in the world right nowā€¦ you canā€™t help but wonder: What if this really is the last Christmas?

Still, itā€™s better to hope for the best and believe in something good, right? šŸŒŸ To keep the vibes positive, Iā€™m attaching an original artwork by Yuki instead of the trackā€™s cover art. Itā€™s a cozy scene with Luna standing by a window on New Yearā€™s Eve. And no, thereā€™s no nuclear mushroom cloud reflecting in that window... šŸŒŒšŸ’›

Alex on the beat as always!


I just need your opinion about my fresh track "Medium"? How you can rate it from 1 to 10?

Hey there! šŸŽ¶āœØ

Alex on the beat! šŸŽ§šŸ”„

I'm really curiousā€”how did you discover my music, and what about it caught your attention? šŸ§šŸŽµ I've noticed that Iā€™m starting to get some fans, and that's so awesome! šŸ˜ Itā€™s exciting to think about how my tracks made their way into your playlists. Was it thanks to the algorithm? šŸ¤–šŸ’æ Did someone share a couple of my songs with you? Or maybe you clicked on it because of the cover art and ended up vibing with the track? šŸŽØšŸŽ¶

Let me know in the comments! šŸ“šŸ‘‡

Hi!

Alex on the beat! And...

Iā€™m obsessed with cyberpunk! šŸ’¾āœØ


No, not Cyberpunk 2077ā€¦ Honestly, I didnā€™t even make it halfway through that game. Itā€™s not that itā€™s bad ā€” it just didnā€™t grab me. But Iā€™m talking about cyberpunk as an aesthetic. The whole idea of massive, multi-layered cities drenched in neon lights, where cutting-edge technology coexists with decay, crime, and poverty. That high-tech futurism wrapped in grittiness, wear, and decline, seen by people as something ordinaryā€¦ just everyday life.

In a way, weā€™re already living in a version of cyberpunk. At least here in Ukraine. But Iā€™ve written plenty of posts about how much I hate the country Iā€™m stuck in, so this isnā€™t about that.



Back in the summer, during the energy terror imposed by our authorities, I would often lie there, just thinking. Running images through my mind like slides in PowerPoint. Iā€™d imagine the world of our waifus, figuring out how everything works there ā€” the technologies, political and economic systems, how half-demons coexist with humans, and what kind of social agreements theyā€™ve made. Stuff like that.



One unbearably hot and dark evening, while Yuki was already asleep, I started wondering: What kind of music would exist in the waifuā€™s world? What would teens dance to in clubs? What would play in taxis? (Though, letā€™s be real, who needs drivers? Bet Bitropolis has fully automated taxis by now.) Thatā€™s when the idea of creating my own subgenre hit me.



And so, I got to work! The moment the electricity came back on, I rushed to my computer, skipping meals and sleep. Who needs food when thereā€™s music to make? šŸŽ›ļøšŸŽ¶

Over time, I ended up with a ton of demos, but three of them stood out: CYBER HOUSE, TRANSCENDENCE, and MACHINE SOUL. If you vibe with these tracks, there will definitely be more in this style.

For the sound, I took inspiration from the overall vibe of Cyberpunk 2077ā€™s soundtrack, added a heavy dose of phonk, and filtered it all through my personal vision of music. The result is something unique, atmospheric, and, most importantly, banging! šŸ”„



I like to think that if we could live in Bitropolis and hit the dancefloors with Eva, these beats would be our go-to.

What do you think about my new track "Cyber House"? How do you like my experiment? šŸ’¬šŸŽ§

DEATH MARCH IS BACK! šŸ’€šŸ”„

Hey, everyone!

Alex on the beat, as always! šŸŽ¶

A year ago (back in December 2023), while trying to figure out how I wanted my music to feel, I experimented a lot with sound and visuals. Thatā€™s when I started using our waifu mascots as virtual ambassadors for my music. The result of those experiments was the track Death March. It was the first track to feature Gerda on the cover, and it marked the moment I began trusting my instincts over YouTube guides or the styles of other artists.

Fun fact: I hesitated for a long time before including the speech of a certain Austrian artist who, in a meme twist, shot Hitler. I worried people might label me unfairly. But luckily, my listeners are smart enough to get the humor and didnā€™t jump to conclusions. šŸ™Œ

Death March has since become one of my top-performing tracks: almost 100k views on my main channel, 46k on my topic channel, and 137k on YouTube Music. For a small, no-name artist like me, those are massive numbers. Iā€™m incredibly grateful to all of you for listening, adding my tracks to your playlists, sharing them, and supporting me in so many ways. It means the world to me. šŸ–¤

Since you loved the first Death March, Iā€™ve decided to release its sequel. Iā€™ve done this before with Downfall. Creating Downfall II was a huge challenge because I wasnā€™t just trying to make it ā€œas goodā€ as the original ā€” I wanted to surpass it. Whether I succeeded or not is up to you to decide. Let me know in the comments how you think Downfall II stacks up against the original Downfall. Personally, Iā€™m happy with how it turned out, even though making it wasnā€™t exactly fun for me.

With Death March II, though, things were different. I set no goals, no expectations ā€” I just let my instincts guide me. I felt like Bilbo Baggins, stepping onto the road without knowing where it would take me. I just created. And when I stood on my balcony, cigarette in hand, listening to the final result, I realized Iā€™d taken a huge step forward. Iā€™d not only learned how to make beats that hit hard, but Iā€™d also discovered how to enjoy the process. The key? Trusting your feelings. Thereā€™s something deep inside that always knows how a track should sound. Itā€™s like an ancient ā€œmusic of the spheresā€ ā€” you just need to hear it and follow it.

The result? A mind-blowing beat. šŸ¤Æ Fast, dynamic, versatile ā€” and of course, it comes with another dose of ā€œDICTATORSHIP!ā€ from our Austrian artist friend, plus a little ā€œmeowā€ from my wife, Yuki. (She insisted on that sound at the beginning, grabbed my phone, and ran to the bedroom to record herself meowing into the mic. šŸ˜‚)

I hope you enjoy this track. Let me know what you think about Death March II. Your feedback means everything to me! šŸ’¬šŸŽ§
