**Intro**

**Carl Clarks:**

Hey, dear community! Good evening, good morning, or good day – wherever you are on this beautiful planet. Thanks so much for tuning in to my podcast. I’m a bit under the weather right now, but I didn’t want that to stop me from talking with you all. You’re important to me, and it’s been way too long since I last shared an update!

**Overview of Today’s Topics**

Today, I’ll be sharing some behind-the-scenes details about my current projects and latest releases. There’s a lot going on, and I’m excited to bring you along.

**Section 1: Current Releases and Successes**

**"Wake Me Up"**

First up is my version of **"Wake Me Up"**, a classic by Avicii. My deep house take features lovely guitar elements and tropical sounds, and it’s already reached 126,116 streams on Spotify! While Avicii’s original is, of course, iconic, I’m proud of my version, and I hope you’re enjoying it as much as I do. If you haven’t heard it yet, check it out on Spotify or search *Carl Clarks – Wake Me Up* on YouTube.

**"Frequency F1"**

Next is my new release, **"Frequency"**, which has already hit 42,423 streams on Spotify and even made it to the *German Dance Charts*, reaching the number 6 spot. This track is a bit harder than my usual sound, reflecting my love for exploring different styles. Music is my passion, and I’ll produce anything I enjoy, as long as it stays electronic!

"Frequency F1" is the first track of a new album set to release in 2025. I plan to release around eight songs in this same style, which is why it’s labeled “F1” on the cover. I’m also working on a second album for 2025 if the schedule lines up.

**"Hypernova F2"**

Another recent release is **"Hypernova F2"**, which dropped on October 18 on all platforms. This track has a unique melody and a driving bass, perfect for club or festival nights. It’s a track that brings out a lot of energy, perfect for those who love to party.

**Section 2: Original Compositions and Songwriting**

**"Rockstar"**

Now to **"Rockstar"**, a song I wrote myself and that’s close to my heart. It starts out relaxed, but at 0:46, there’s a beat punch that gives the song a surprising energy boost. I love adding unexpected elements in my music. The songwriting process was really fun, and I’m thrilled to share this track with you.

**My Start in Songwriting (2023)**

For those who don’t know, I’ve been making music and DJing for a long time. But 2023 was a special year, as it was the first time I began writing my own songs that actually came together well! I’d tried it before, but it just never clicked. In 2023, something changed, and suddenly it worked. I’m proud of this – it’s a big step, especially since I was never particularly good at songwriting before. Now, here I am, excited about the progress I’ve made and looking forward to what’s next.

**Section 3: Future Projects and Upcoming Releases**

**Upcoming Tracks and Albums**

November is packed with new releases:

- **November 1**: "Eclipse F3" will be available on all download platforms. It’s the next track in the album series planned for 2025.

- **November 15**: "Come Back Home" will be released – a quieter, self-written song that I’m really proud of.

- **November 29**: "Echoes Of Acid" will bring some serious power, marking the third track in the planned album.
