And today, Iāve got two big announcements!
š First ā 4,000 subscribers!
We did it! 4K on the channel ā thatās a win! š Huge thanks to everyone supporting me, listening to my music, and sticking around. You guys are the best! And where thereās 4,000, thereās 40,000ā¦ or maybe even 4,000,000? Okay, now Iām dreaming too big. š
š® Second ā my first game is finally here!
Thatās right, Iāve officially finished my first game, featuring our beloved Luna! šµ Youāve heard her vocals in many of my tracks, like "My Power" (if you havenāt checked it out yet ā go listen in the "Videos" or "Releases" section!).
š¹ TimeRunner is a cyberpunk infinite runner, where youāll:
ā
Dodge obstacles šāāļø
ā
Shoot enemies š«
ā
Collect coins to increase your score š°
ā
Try to outrun time itself! ā³
I really poured my heart into this project, making it as fast-paced and fun as possible. Hope youāll enjoy it!

Hey everyone! Alex on the beat! Hereās a selection of screenshots from my first game, which Iāll be publishing soon on Patreon for free access. This is a student project where I tried to solidify the few basics Iāve managed to learn since November. In my opinion, it turned out pretty well. Yes, itās definitely not something I could upload to Steam, and the game doesnāt have everything I originally wanted (for example, a skin shop, where you could buy skins for Luna with coins collected in the game. But I donāt even have a clue how to implement that. Maybe later). While working on this project, Yuuki also became interested in game dev. The only thing is, sheās terrified of programming (I, by the way, am too), so sheās started learning Blender. In the future, we plan to create our own games, including ones set in the universe of our waifus. So, youāll have the chance to dive into the world of Keira, Luna, Eva, and the others. But not anytime soon. Game development turned out to be WAY harder than I thought. And this is a challenge that really tests me. But... I hope Iāll manage!
You can watch the gameplay footage of the game on my Patreon for free (patreon.com/ALEXESSEKER?utm_medium=unknown&utm_souā¦. Iāll release the game in a week. I want to see how it performs on a weaker PC. Maybe Iāll try adding English language support...

Hey there! Alex on the beat!
Lately, I've been wondering why some people abroad seem so hostile towards AI. Iām emphasizing foreign audiences here because, in our corner of the internet (Ukraine, Russia, Belarus), people are either positive about AI or just donāt care at all. Many phonk producers, like myself, use AI-generated art for their covers. Some are even starting to use AI for generating vocals for their tracks. Itās super convenient ā having your own personal vocalist whoāll sing as many takes as you need ā and there are no copyright issues to worry about. With a quality instrumental, a machineās voice can be a perfect addition to a track (just listen to "ANGEL'S BLOOD" or "HAUNTING PARTY" ā maybe it sounds a bit cocky, but these are genuinely cool tracks, and I love them).
It seems like we're way behind Western Europe or the US when it comes to tech. But weāre eager to embrace new technologies, while in the places where these technologies are developed, theyāre often met with resistance. Or maybe Iāve just been unlucky and keep running into AI haters. Anyway, Iām not seeing the full picture, and my opinion isnāt claiming to be objective. Itās just a weird situation.
Whatās your take on AI? Drop a comment below. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Hey guys! Alex on the beatā¦ Probablyā¦
Lately, the views and streams on my channel have dropped significantly. Iām not sure why, but itās been really demotivating and leaves me feeling apathetic. You put in so much effort, give it your all, and then see the gap between the energy spent and the tiny success you get in return. But you keep pushing forwardā¦ Through the gloom, through the doubts, through the āI canāt.ā And then you realize, even that isnāt enough.
It reminded me of that iconic line from Alice in Wonderland:
"Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!"
And I wonderā¦ is running faster even possible?
I have a big request for all of you who enjoy my music. I appreciate you so much! You give meaning to my creativity and keep me going when things get tough. Every time I sit down to work on a new track, I imagine you in my mind and think about what I could create to surprise both myself and all of you. That means the world to me.
So hereās the favor: please donāt forget to like my videos, leave comments (anything at allādonāt feel like you have to only praise me. Criticism is welcome too; I value any feedback from you), and subscribe if you havenāt already. Also, itās super important to hit the notification bell. YouTube doesnāt always push new videos or tracks to your feed, but it does notice a drop in engagement. When engagement drops, YouTube reduces the reach even further. Itās a vicious cycle. The bell can help break it a little.
I believe this is just a temporary phase. Of course, Iām not giving up or going anywhere. Thereās been too much progress to quit nowāquitting would mean truly losing, and I hate losing! My next track drops next Friday, as usual.
Thank you so much for being here with me. Iām grateful to have you all!

GERDA IS HERE! AND SHE'S READY TO BITE! šŗš„
Have you heard the new track HALO OF BLOOD II that I created with dewerro? If not, hurry up and check out my channel! š There's something truly epic waiting for you there! š¶
This track was heavily inspired by the game MiSide, and I think you can feel that in its sound ā alluring yet haunting. š¾āØ
Honestly, Iām so damn proud of this one. š A year and a half ago, I dreamed of releasing tracks like this. It's amazing to see dreams coming true! š
What do you think about new song? Let me know! š¬š¤

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! Itās just a great game with a pretty ambiguous ending. The developers really put their heart into it, and you can feel it. Iām 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 donāt 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 youāve 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 donāt get the hate toward the game. Those who say itās just for teenagers probably didnāt even spend an hour playing it.
Anyway, give it a try! And no, this isnāt an ad. I mean, who in their right mind would sponsor a channel with 3k subscribers? Especially through community posts! š

Hey guys! Alex on the beat, as always!
So, the New Yearās holidays are over, and itās time to return to the boring routineā¦ Or is it? Nah, screw the boring routine! On this channel, itās always a party!
And I think now is the perfect time for a little competition. Itās 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, Iām talking about Bloody Mary! So, hereās the deal: letās decide which track is better!
Cast your vote! And if you havenāt had a chance to listen to them yet (though, come on, Bloody Mary dropped a year ago ā how could you miss it? š), head over to the Videos (or Releases) section and check them both out.
And donāt 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? Letās go! š¶š„

š¶ Hey, friends! š¶
Alex is on the beat! š§
2024 is coming to an endāa year many predicted to be the one for me. The year where Iād 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 didnāt happen. The prophecies didnāt come true. But you know what? Iām not upset. š Iāve shared more about why I let go of my ambitions for global fame on my Patreon. If youāre curious, feel free to check it outāthe post is public.
But hey, donāt think this New Yearās post is about to turn into a pity party! Nope. Instead, I want to take a look back and appreciate the journey Iāve been on with all of you this year. And honestly? Thereās plenty to be proud of!
šµ I created 66 tracks this year. Not bad, huh? Some of them performed pretty wellāSENPAI is about to hit 300K streams on YouTube Music, for example. Others didnāt get the attention they deserved. Maybe the algorithms buried them, or maybe I made some wrong choices as a creator. Iām human, and mistakes happen.
š„ Our channel grew! A year ago, I was dreaming of hitting just 1,000 subscribers. Now, weāre close to 4,000! Is that a lot? Depends on how you look at it. From YouTubeās perspective, itās not huge. But for me, thatās 4,000 amazing people who appreciated my music enough to hit subscribe. That means the world to me, and Iām endlessly grateful to each of you!
š” 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. š
šØ Letās not forget the new characters who joined us this yearāLuna, 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, Iāve been diving into Unity. Itās way harder than I expectedāprogramming is a serious challenge for me. But Iām determined, and I hope Iāll figure it out!
āØ So, hereās 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.
š Happy New Year, friends! š
Now, I want to hear from you! Tell me in the commentsāwhat 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, itās definitely ANGELāS BLOOD. What about you?
I canāt wait to read your comments!
Yours,
Alex š

I wish all Catholic Christians a Merry Christmas!
As for me, Iām not a religious person, so thereās 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! š
Alex on the beat! š§
The winter holidays are upon us, and, as per tradition, Iām dropping a special themed track called THE LAST CHRISTMAS. If you havenāt 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. š¤āØ
Now, about the trackā¦ Itās not your typical remix. On one hand, itās a fresh take on a Christmas song we all grew up with (for me, it feels more like a New Yearās song, since New Yearās is the bigger holiday where Iām from). But on the other hand, reflecting on the songās title and everything happening in the world right nowā¦ you canāt help but wonder: What if this really is the last Christmas?
Still, itās better to hope for the best and believe in something good, right? š To keep the vibes positive, Iām attaching an original artwork by Yuki instead of the trackās cover art. Itās a cozy scene with Luna standing by a window on New Yearās Eve. And no, thereās no nuclear mushroom cloud reflecting in that window... šš
