The Protocol has been activated!
When I started remixing and making music, I never realized that I might actually need an artist name. At this point, I’m still not entirely sure if I want one – or what it should even be. But one thing I’ve figured out along the way is that having an alter ego helps separate my original work from the remixes I produce.
“Bass Assassin Protocol”
When I tried to publish the tracks on SoundCloud, I immediately hit a wall: their naming policy doesn’t allow track titles to match artist names. Why they enforce this isn’t entirely clear – I assume it has something to do with metadata indexing and compliance across different streaming platforms.
Eventually, I gave up on the original name – “(The) Houseifyer & (The) Rhythm Shifter” – even though it was meant to be a tribute track representing both alter egos. Time was running out for the planned release date, and I wanted the release out there as soon as possible. Hence, the project was renamed Bass Assassin Protocol.
The reason for releasing this track separately from my other work has been simple: if anything goes wrong, it won’t affect other artist projects. Besides, when it is time to release something officially, this problem has long since been sorted out. This also marks the beginning of a process where I aim to verify Houseifyer and Rhythm Shifter as official artist identities on platforms like Spotify, giving me long-term control over stats and plays.
The track itself symbolizes the workflow of a multi-genre producer. While I love the slower grooves of house, hip hop, funk, afrobeat, reggaeton and moombahton, I’m equally passionate about the fast and punchy vibe of DnB, jungle, hard techno, breakcore and speed house. This track became a meeting ground – where house collides with drum & bass, where four-on-the-floor meets breakbeats and legacy hip hop (think 90s boom bap) – and where remix culture folds back into original production. Lyrically, it’s a manifesto: a bassline rebellion, a rhythmic declaration. The voices of both personas – Houseifyer and Rhythmshifter – collide and fuse, speaking directly to what this project is about: transformation through sound.
“I take your sound, I flip your form.No genre safe when I bring that storm.”
From the beginning, the concept was simple – remix culture with a twist. Early tracks were labeled “Houseifyed Remix” (Sientelo, Whirlybird, Mr Worldwide, etc) as a badge of honor – reworking tracks and reshaping structure. But once original vocals and lyrics entered the mix, spelling quirks and weird lyric transcriptions forced a name change of “Housifyer” to “Houseifyer“. The Houseifyer emerged as the full embodiment of the idea – no longer just a remixer, but a sound sculptor.
Bass Assassin Protocol carries this evolution forward.
Built in Reason Studio, wrapped in basslines and some more subtle tempo shifts (like DnB breakbeats in the tempo of 126–128 BPM – not always the most clever idea), excluding a few stems that were AI-generated through trial and error, eventually leading to an old-school vocal feel that fit the theme perfectly.
The track is engineered to shake rooms and pave the way for future projects. The protocol doesn’t ask for permission. It detonates.

Backstory of the artist naming convention
At some point toward the end of 2023, I realized I’d been using the wrong method in my DAW to make remixes work. So, I did the research, changed the process, and adopted a whole new style. That shift brought songs like “Walk Like an Egyptian” to life in an entirely different way. Throughout 2024, I produced a number of remixes based on tracks by Pete & Bas – a UK rap duo known for their old-school flow and clever lyrics – but this time in completely different genres. The sound started coming together – and these remixes became unexpectedly popular on SoundCloud. In early 2025, I got in touch with Pete & Bas’s team, who gave my remixes an informal blessing (even though SoundCloud still requires explicit clearance for remix distribution).
During this phase, I started tagging these unofficial genre-shifted remixes as Houseifyed Remixes. The concept was simple: take an original track and inject it into a new genre. I realized this could evolve into a full artist identity – The Houseifyer – used specifically for remixing across genres. When official remix opportunities come along, having a separate name makes that process smoother. Initially, I used Housifyer (without an “e”), but the spelling caused pronunciation issues and awkwardness in metadata, so I ultimately switched to The Houseifyer. The idea was inspired partly by discovering the artist Balkanizer on TikTok – someone remixing music into Balkan-style club tracks.
But I also understood that just one alter ego wouldn’t be enough – especially since I dive into the DnB zone just as often. That’s how The Rhythm Shifter came into being – a fitting alias for my heavier, high-tempo remix work. So here we are: two alter egos created to reflect the genre I’m working in.

The track and its originsInfluences from RörelsenReflections from Kalle about the movementContext: The documentary series
The track and its origins
This Friday marks the release of the track “Vägen till frihet” (“The Road to Freedom”), a track that plants an easter egg for anyone familiar with the so-called “freedom movement” in Sweden. The original title, based on the chant “Hajaka”, didn’t quite hold up as a standalone song title, so it eventually landed on “Vägen till frihet”, aligning with the Swedish lyrics.
To avoid copyright issues with the sampled audio, I had to rework the spoken-word elements that the track is built on, rather than simply creating a mashup of the original audio – something I experimented with back when I was more of a DJ trainee (as a mashup).
Influences from Rörelsen
The track gives a subtle nod to the orchestrators featured in SVT’s documentary series Rörelsen – Max Winter, Filip Sjöström, and a handful of spiritually inclined figures searching for identity during the pandemic. The song doesn’t directly reference the series, but traces of the storyline are woven into the lyrics – particularly the segment in episode 2 that resonated with me the most, largely thanks to its use of the rhythm. The core of the lyrics is the chant – the “Hajaka” – and how the group, through an imagined encounter with “the woman in the forest”, builds to that point.
She doesn’t call out, but she is heard. She doesn’t lead, but she walks ahead. She carries an energy that can’t be bought, sold, or contained.
Reflections from Kalle about the movement
I have to say, Kalle Ström approaches the whole subject with genuine humility and nuance in an interview that I found at Martin Stensö, which makes me appreciate both the series and the people portrayed in it even more. He’s clear about his intention – “this is my journey into it”, as he puts it.
Ström doesn’t deny the strange elements, but rather leans into them with curiosity: “It may seem strange or peculiar, but I thought it was quite fascinating. We perform rituals all the time – in different ways”. In response to criticism or skepticism about the participants’ mental states, he maintains an empathetic stance: “I try to remain open to the fact that people can be different”.
He also addresses the idea of bias in media: “Those who were part of the movement have described themselves as misrepresented and skewed by the media… but my impression is that now they feel the depiction has been fair”. And he knows what he’s made: “I think it’s a very strong story – and most of those involved think so too”.
The man who leads the men’s circle remains a mystery though – and this is one of the reasons why I chose to resample the original spoken text and render it more anonymous – and to avoid any copyright issues.
Context: The documentary series
The documentary series Rörelsen (“The Movement”), broadcast by SVT, was created by ethnologist Kalle Ström. Over the course of two years, he followed the so-called Freedom Movement from the inside, with a particular focus on its more spiritual and alternative dimensions. One segment of the series shows a men’s gathering at “a lost place”, where eleven men sit around a fire and – through rituals, breathing exercises, and emotional release – attempt to “meet the woman from the forest”. This is where the track comes in. The rest of the series is not explicitly about this group of men.
The charismatic leader of the session – a man I refer to as “The Man with the Hat” due to his anonymity – encourages participants to envision a woman stepping out of the darkness, walking toward them, and filling them with immense, radiant energy.

The song extracts this image from the documentary – the woman, the energy, the rhythm – and gives it a new context. It’s not reduced to roleplay or spiritual technique. Here, she becomes power. Rhythm. A cry.

The track and its originsInfluences from RörelsenReflections from Kalle about the movementContext: The documentary series
The track and its origins
This Friday marks the release of the track “Vägen till frihet” (“The Road to Freedom”), a track that plants an easter egg for anyone familiar with the so-called “freedom movement” in Sweden. The original title, based on the chant “Hajaka”, didn’t quite hold up as a standalone song title, so it eventually landed on “Vägen till frihet”, aligning with the Swedish lyrics.
To avoid copyright issues with the sampled audio, I had to rework the spoken-word elements that the track is built on, rather than simply creating a mashup of the original audio – something I experimented with back when I was more of a DJ trainee (as a mashup).
Influences from Rörelsen
The track gives a subtle nod to the orchestrators featured in SVT’s documentary series Rörelsen – Max Winter, Filip Sjöström, and a handful of spiritually inclined figures searching for identity during the pandemic. The song doesn’t directly reference the series, but traces of the storyline are woven into the lyrics – particularly the segment in episode 2 that resonated with me the most, largely thanks to its use of the rhythm. The core of the lyrics is the chant – the “Hajaka” – and how the group, through an imagined encounter with “the woman in the forest”, builds to that point.
She doesn’t call out, but she is heard. She doesn’t lead, but she walks ahead. She carries an energy that can’t be bought, sold, or contained.
Reflections from Kalle about the movement
I have to say, Kalle Ström approaches the whole subject with genuine humility and nuance in an interview that I found at Martin Stensö, which makes me appreciate both the series and the people portrayed in it even more. He’s clear about his intention – “this is my journey into it”, as he puts it.
Ström doesn’t deny the strange elements, but rather leans into them with curiosity: “It may seem strange or peculiar, but I thought it was quite fascinating. We perform rituals all the time – in different ways”. In response to criticism or skepticism about the participants’ mental states, he maintains an empathetic stance: “I try to remain open to the fact that people can be different”.
He also addresses the idea of bias in media: “Those who were part of the movement have described themselves as misrepresented and skewed by the media… but my impression is that now they feel the depiction has been fair”. And he knows what he’s made: “I think it’s a very strong story – and most of those involved think so too”.
The man who leads the men’s circle remains a mystery though – and this is one of the reasons why I chose to resample the original spoken text and render it more anonymous – and to avoid any copyright issues.
Context: The documentary series
The documentary series Rörelsen (“The Movement”), broadcast by SVT, was created by ethnologist Kalle Ström. Over the course of two years, he followed the so-called Freedom Movement from the inside, with a particular focus on its more spiritual and alternative dimensions. One segment of the series shows a men’s gathering at “a lost place”, where eleven men sit around a fire and – through rituals, breathing exercises, and emotional release – attempt to “meet the woman from the forest”. This is where the track comes in. The rest of the series is not explicitly about this group of men.
The charismatic leader of the session – a man I refer to as “The Man with the Hat” due to his anonymity – encourages participants to envision a woman stepping out of the darkness, walking toward them, and filling them with immense, radiant energy. The scene culminates in rhythmic clapping, chanting, and the now-iconic call: “Hajaka-hajaka-hey’o, hey’o!” – a sequence that left a lasting impression in the series and has now been reinterpreted musically in this track, but entirely resampled and processed through AI (Suno).
The song extracts this image from the documentary – the woman, the energy, the rhythm – and gives it a new context. It’s not reduced to roleplay or spiritual technique. Here, she becomes power. Rhythm. A cry.

TITLE:
Run Inna Fi Storm: The disaster that became a Drum and Bass track
DESCRIPTION:
Two years after the setback, I turned the journey into a Drum & Bass track. The storm, the chaos, the struggle – it’s all here. This track isn’t just about running; it’s about survival, even though it was never a matter of life and death. Pushing forward when every fiber of your being screams to stop. Battling the personal crisis, the exhaustion it brought while I was also sick, the breathlessness as I ran – in both the physical world and in life itself.

March 2023. My Facebook account was hijacked, replaced with the name “Lily Collins” and then shut down with no way to appeal. No warnings, no security alerts. Two-factor authentication – useless. Probably because it happened in the middle of the night when I was asleep.
I fought for weeks with this, with only dead ends.
Then, my partner said:“Go for a walk. It’ll help”.
Usually, it should’ve been spring. But nature has jumped back to hard winter. But I went out. The cold air bit my face as I walked through streets. I wasn’t walking to get somewhere – I was walking to escape frustration, helplessness, and the lack of control. Step by step, something shifted. Walking became routine. Routine became habit. But at some point, this wasn’t enough. So, I started running. And this time – I didn’t quit. Instead, I started to run, with Drum & Bass playing in my headphones, to get into the right tempo.
Two years after the setback, I turned the journey into a Drum & Bass track. The storm, the chaos, the struggle – it’s all here. This track isn’t just about running; it’s about survival, even though it was never a matter of life and death. Pushing forward when every fiber of your being screams to stop. Battling the personal crisis, the exhaustion it brought while I was also sick, the breathlessness as I ran – in both the physical world and in life itself.
The disaster that tried to break me became the fire that pushed me forward.
Below, there’s some lyrics to the track…
Run Inna Fi Storm
[VERSE 1]Lakkah sloth, mi move like ghost,Neva too fast, but a so life goes.One foot limp, di odda one gone,Push thru di breeze, mi still ah hold on.
[VERSE 2]Mi drag mi foot, mi nah rush none,Cyaan run race, cah di race nah done.Mind so chill, mi cyaan tek stress,Mi tek one step, then mi tek one rest.
[CHORUS]Mi move slow, but mi still deh yah,Laziness deep, but mi nah disappear.Step by step, mi tek mi time,Nah watch no clock, cah di pace a mine.
[VERSE 3]Mi set small goal fi keep mi sane,Di next road sign, dat a next campaign.Soon get steep, mi know it rough,Time move slow, but mi nah in no race.
[VERSE 4]Mi fight fi breath, mi chest feel tight,Cold air cut like a blade in di night.Lung dem weak, but mi still push on,Pain in mi back, but mi cyaan stay long.
[CHORUS]Mi move slow, but mi still deh yah,Laziness deep, but mi nah disappear.Step by step, mi tek mi time,Nah watch no clock, cah di pace a mine.
[BRIDGE]Mi sip likkle water, den mi walk again,Tired real bad, but mi push thru pain.Foot dem hurt, but di bassline call,Mi feel di riddim, mi cyaan stand tall.
[CHORUS]Mi move slow, but mi still deh yah,Laziness deep, but mi nah disappear.Step by step, mi tek mi time,Nah watch no clock, cah di pace a mine.
[VERSE 5]Snow ah fall, but mi push thru storm,Cold breeze bite, but mi body stay warm.Try fi outrun di stress, but it stick like glue,Mi deh yah pon road, cah mi got ting fi do.
[VERSE 6]Mi run likkle bit, but mi nah go far,Up di hill, down di bridge, cross di tar.Pass thru tunnel, under railway track,Home soon deh yah, mi cyaan turn back.
[VERSE 7]Stretch out di foot, stretch out di hand,Every muscle need fi feel di expand.One last move, before mi done,Cah mi know seh rest soon come.
[OUTRO]Breath come calm, mi deh yah still,Body feel light, but mi mind stay trill.Journey rough, but mi make it through,Now mi cool, like di morning dew.
[EXTRA CHORUS]Mi move slow, but mi still deh yah,Laziness deep, but mi nah disappear.Step by step, mi tek mi time,Nah watch no clock, cah di pace a mine.

March 2023. My Facebook account was hijacked, replaced with the name “Lily Collins” and then shut down with no way to appeal. No warnings, no security alerts. Two-factor authentication – useless. Probably because it happened in the middle of the night when I was asleep.
I fought for weeks with this, with only dead ends.
Then, my partner said:“Go for a walk. It’ll help”.
Usually, it should’ve been spring. But nature has jumped back to hard winter. But I went out. The cold air bit my face as I walked through streets. I wasn’t walking to get somewhere – I was walking to escape frustration, helplessness, and the lack of control. Step by step, something shifted. Walking became routine. Routine became habit. But at some point, this wasn’t enough. So, I started running. And this time – I didn’t quit. Instead, I started to run, with Drum & Bass playing in my headphones, to get into the right tempo.
Two years after the setback, I turned the journey into a Drum & Bass track. The storm, the chaos, the struggle – it’s all here. This track isn’t just about running; it’s about survival, even though it was never a matter of life and death. Pushing forward when every fiber of your being screams to stop. Battling the personal crisis, the exhaustion it brought while I was also sick, the breathlessness as I ran – in both the physical world and in life itself.
The disaster that tried to break me became the fire that pushed me forward.
Below, there’s some lyrics to the track…
Run Inna Fi Storm
[VERSE 1]Lakkah sloth, mi move like ghost,Neva too fast, but a so life goes.One foot limp, di odda one gone,Push thru di breeze, mi still ah hold on.
[VERSE 2]Mi drag mi foot, mi nah rush none,Cyaan run race, cah di race nah done.Mind so chill, mi cyaan tek stress,Mi tek one step, then mi tek one rest.
[CHORUS]Mi move slow, but mi still deh yah,Laziness deep, but mi nah disappear.Step by step, mi tek mi time,Nah watch no clock, cah di pace a mine.
[VERSE 3]Mi set small goal fi keep mi sane,Di next road sign, dat a next campaign.Soon get steep, mi know it rough,Time move slow, but mi nah in no race.
[VERSE 4]Mi fight fi breath, mi chest feel tight,Cold air cut like a blade in di night.Lung dem weak, but mi still push on,Pain in mi back, but mi cyaan stay long.
[CHORUS]Mi move slow, but mi still deh yah,Laziness deep, but mi nah disappear.Step by step, mi tek mi time,Nah watch no clock, cah di pace a mine.
[BRIDGE]Mi sip likkle water, den mi walk again,Tired real bad, but mi push thru pain.Foot dem hurt, but di bassline call,Mi feel di riddim, mi cyaan stand tall.
[CHORUS]Mi move slow, but mi still deh yah,Laziness deep, but mi nah disappear.Step by step, mi tek mi time,Nah watch no clock, cah di pace a mine.
[VERSE 5]Snow ah fall, but mi push thru storm,Cold breeze bite, but mi body stay warm.Try fi outrun di stress, but it stick like glue,Mi deh yah pon road, cah mi got ting fi do.
[VERSE 6]Mi run likkle bit, but mi nah go far,Up di hill, down di bridge, cross di tar.Pass thru tunnel, under railway track,Home soon deh yah, mi cyaan turn back.
[VERSE 7]Stretch out di foot, stretch out di hand,Every muscle need fi feel di expand.One last move, before mi done,Cah mi know seh rest soon come.
[OUTRO]Breath come calm, mi deh yah still,Body feel light, but mi mind stay trill.Journey rough, but mi make it through,Now mi cool, like di morning dew.
[EXTRA CHORUS]Mi move slow, but mi still deh yah,Laziness deep, but mi nah disappear.Step by step, mi tek mi time,Nah watch no clock, cah di pace a mine.

Since creating my first remix last March, I’ve been wondering how licensing works for Pete & Bas’ music and whether I need to pay to use their samples.
I still consider myself somewhat of a trainee in the world of remixing – and since I’ve only recently started to get a real feel for music production, I guess that makes me a trainee in every other sense as well. That’s why getting proper licensing and permissions in place felt extra important for those projects. For example, I did the same thing with both Erik Vilde, Bamse of Sweden, DemianHDC and a few other artists, just to make sure I did all things right.
Today, I discovered that two days ago, I finally received a response from Sindhu World, whom I had reached out to some time ago to ask about licensing. And this is huge – huge enough that I want to share with everyone that my remixes will keep dropping as long as Pete, Bas, and The Northern Boys continue making music.
All love to them!
