JoeLectrick dropped a new cosmic adventure of a track. His latest track Meteor had originally debuted as part of CFK Radio: Transmission 1. Now it’s available on all platforms to purchase and stream.
A mix of experimental techno and acid house, this track brings together soaring melodies, quirky video game sounds, a pounding beat, and a groovy acid bassline. Originally envisioned to be more of a peak time/driving techno track, it took on this whole different atmospheric vibe during the production process as the music layered up.
“This track explores the loneliness of traveling through the far reaches of interstellar space. But also it’s about the existential thought that humanity on Earth is sailing through the cosmos completely alone. But then we spot something and it spots us back. So basically it’s about aliens coming to Earth,” says JoeLectrick about his new track.
Originally launched as an exclusive track on Crazy From Kong’s new music video series CFK Radio, Meteor’s visuals, directed by Arne Venema, showcased an aggressive Vaporwave storm above a cyberpunk city skyline. You can check out the music video for Meteor below.

Neon Electrick Nights 06 now up on my SoundCloud and MixCloud. For my latest jam, I wanted to do something kind of specific and well, I kind of got something else. Read below for the full story.
They say you need to stay on top of the trends so I took to Spotify and listened to a whole bunch of the latest top Techno tracks. In particular, I listened to a bunch of tracks by Belgian DJ Amelie Lens.
So, decided that I would try to jam out a driving Techno track in her style. After playing around with my Novation Circuit a bit, I thought I had the tune to make it happen. So I went to recording my “Amelie Lens” inspired techno jam.
Then I listened to what I had just recorded and immediately was thinking that this doesn’t sound much like Amelie Lens. Reminds me more of Amelie the movie starring Audrey Tautou.
That famous shot of Audrey Tautou in the cinema from the movie, in particular, got stuck in my head when I listened to the track.
So, with that in mind, I decided to name this tune “Amelie Dreams” and voila! Neon Electrick Nights 06 was born.
If you’ve managed to read this whole story, I hope you will also check out the whole, now on SoundCloud and MixCloud. I’ll upload to YouTube soon.
Let me know what you think. Does it sound like Amelie Lens or remind you more of Amelie the movie?
