Recently I've realized that I really miss making dance music. I really miss putting things out that are fun and feel good. When I started "Alamo", I instantly locked myself into the project and let everything out. It's a little chaotic, but playful. 

Growing up listening lots of breakbeats and funk, I always envision images of people of the past dancing. 

Music that speaks to you can really evoke memories or fictional stories in your head. Music that really speaks to you might generate a new story each time you listen to it again. I have had so many great conversations with friends about what they see in their heads when they listen to certain songs.

Here's a short summary of a vision I'm seeing now while listening to "Alamo":

It's 2050...

Imagine you're with your best friend in a drop top in the desert. You don't recognize your best friend, for some reason, but you know they're your best friend.

Somehow it's getting darker in the sky even though it's in the middle of the day and also getting hotter. Both of you start sweating buckets and the car is also bunny hopping up and down, side to side.

You both decide to take off your t-shirts, but when each t-shirt is removed another one is there in its place. This keeps going on and you decide to just keep driving and smoking. You forget about taking off the t-shirts, because there are vampires next to your car chasing you. You have absolutely no way of surviving unless you turn on your hyper thrusters and blast off to the Alamo - somewhere warmer and sunnier. 

Somehow it doesn't take that long for both of you to get close to the Alamo. Gas prices are nonexistent in 2050, as cars are mostly urine-powered. The sun comes out when you both arrive at the Alamo and things cool off. You put on hoodies. Everything fades to black.

- The end.

Thank you for reading & listening. Hope this song makes you do the dancing and brings you joy.
