Creating music from the French Mediterranean coast for the Riviera and Ibiza nightlife. There was a time I only saw what fell away Shadows in the spill of yesterday I stood counting broken vessels in the rain Didn’t see what still remained Every tear became a lens I couldn’t clear Every echo said the past lived here But beyond the grief, beyond the blue Something steady carried me through Now the air is shifting Truth is standing still Every scale is lifting I feel the balance tilt Here we rise, here we rise (now I can see) Here we rise, here we rise (clarity) Here we rise, here we rise (fire returns) Into the spark that burns Here we rise, where the flame begins Here we rise, letting justice in I laid the facts out on an open line No disguise, no alibi What was owed, I let it land What was mine, I took in hand From the stillness something living grew A single spark that finally moved Not a memory, not a chain Just a calling with a name Feel the heat awaken After truth is sworn What was once forsaken Is suddenly reborn Here we rise, here we rise (now I can feel) Here we rise, here we rise (something real) Here we rise, here we rise (fire returns) Into the spark that burns But there were hands that held too tight Golden cages dressed as light Promises that asked for more Than the soul was willing for I saw the cord, I named the tie Watched it loosen when I tried No more bargains made of fear No more shadows steering here Now my feet are grounded Heart and body align Nothing here confounds me The earth says: you’re mine Here we rise, here we rise (rooted and free) Here we rise, here we rise (stability) Here we rise, here we rise (fire returns) From the ground, the spark is born I am held I am whole I am warm within my own I am here I am sound I stand steady on this ground Here we rise Here we rise Here we risemore

🌘 “A Prelude to Halcyon” - The Boom Raccoon “A Prelude to Halcyon” is the opening doorway into The Boom Raccoon’s world. A slow-burn, nocturnal ascent that sets the emotional temperature for everything that follows. The track begins with a sense of suspended motion, like the first breath before stepping into a glowing city at night. Soft pads drift in like fog over circuitry, carrying both warmth and unease, while the bass quietly anchors the space beneath. The track’s rhythm emerges gradually, blooming from subtle pulses into a steady forward momentum. It never rushes; it guides, beckoning the listener toward the horizon rather than shoving them into it. Synth lines shimmer with a glassy, dreamlike quality, each one hinting at the “halcyon” calm suggested by the title—but there’s always a restless undertone, a reminder that peace in the Boom Raccoon universe is earned, not given. It’s reflective, patient, and quietly powerful—music for late-night thinking, neon-lit windows, and transitions between worlds. For many listeners, “A Prelude to Halcyon” becomes the moment where the Boom Raccoon aesthetic first crystallizes: a balance of light and shadow, emotion and machinery, calm and motion. It’s not just an introduction, it’s an invitation.more

“Shocker” energises the sound world of MellowMellen & The Boom Raccoon with a bold fusion of punch-driven beats, shimmering synths and expansive, cinematic textures. It opens with an electric tension — a ripple of sub-bass under bright, shimmering keys — immediately pulling the listener into a charged atmosphere. From the first verse the vocals cut through with both swagger and reflection: the track feels like a revelation, a moment of clarity when the lights flicker and you see something you can’t ignore. Mid-track, the drums shift into a punchy half-time groove, layered with crisp hi-hats and snare rolls that create motion without chasing speed. The synth leads split into dual streams — one melodic and soaring, the other jagged and rhythmic — echoing that duality in the band’s name: mellow meets boom. Lyrically, “Shocker” plays with the idea of disruption — what happens when your steady ground is suddenly unsettled, when a truth emerges and everything changes its angle. It feels like a call to open your eyes, awaken to new patterns, and move with intention. The chorus lifts with sweeping harmonies and dynamic rise-ups, refusing to be passive. It’s both triumphant and contemplative — dance-floor energy with emotional weight. In its final moments, the instrumentation pulls back to a focused, single synth line and a soft pad, giving space for the last lyrics to land with quiet power before the beat slams back and the track ends on a confident, open-ended note. “Shocker” is a standout that highlights the band’s ability to blend high-impact electronics, storytelling depth, and groove-driven sophistication.more
