Do I need more gear to feel creative? No.
Must every track have a melody? No.
Should I chase the next trend? No.
This is the sound of that refusal. The result of stripping away unnecessary layers to get back to the core. It's a soundtrack for focus.
Forget melodies and polish! "No" cuts through the noise with only the essentials: a dry, punchy kick, raw percussion, and an assertive rhythm. It's the liberating energy of a single word, much needed in our modern lives where everything is so connected and you are being pushed around, never getting the chance to say "No".
