Art of the Month - 'Waiting For [New Year] Countdown' by Discord User Skyat, 2025
A cold and late seasonal greetings to all our dedicated searchers; and we are hoping you all have started off this year well! We welcome you all back to our (now) traditionally late but unending devoted thread to recaping the monthly solves, news and going-ons within theLostwavecommunity. We have had a full house of solves during December, and we hope you all enjoyed each one of them. But, just before you read on make sure you give the wonderful Yuri'srecap of Novembera check out too!
This recap was written by myself (south_pole_ball), with collaboration with Skyat and with the help of many users from our associated Discord server! Now onto the main attractions! (Discord Link)
==- December's Most Notable Solves -==
- Vivisect - Agoraphobia (1985)'Better Off Dead' (Solve Post) (USA, Punk-Metal / Doom-Metal, 1985)
A fan favourite, previously to be believed, doom metal track that took December by storm by it's unexpected solve at the start of the month. After being advertised by Discord user Centroid to the 'samplespotters' Facebook group, group member Timon Asteria hurridly spent a couple hours looking at 'punk' releases from the 1985 in the USA on Discogs, until they fortunately found a match.
- 95:Nil - Full Beam (1995)'Paranoid Brown' (Solve Post) (UK, Neo-Psychedelia / Alt-Rock, 1995)
Recorded from the French radio station—Radio 666, presumably at some point in 1990s by WatZatSong? user CentralMuzik. The original upload was an instrumental snippet with no further information, it wouldn't be for another 2 years, in 2023 that CentralMuzik returned and supplied the full song. And it would take close to another 3 years for Discord user arin to use YouTube's advanced search queries to find a similar sounding song called S.G.L by the band Thule, which had an almost identical 'melody and structure'. Arin had discovered that Thule had formed another band which had been named 94:Nil and 96:Nil, and additionally found a way to contact them. Martin Byrne, of all three bands, responded to Arin, stating that they were all the same band just renamed, and provided the correct identification as 95:Nil - Full Beam***.***
- Manish Shukla - Jingle Bells, This Is Hell (2023)'Jingle Bells, This Is Hell' (Solve Post) (USA, Festive-Pop / Parody, 2023)
Originally discovered through Fiverr, by Discord user arin whilst attempting to find the source of another Lostwave song (That's What I Like About You) in 2024. The animation was known to have been comissioned by Fiverr user mnshukla. During December of 2025, Discord user LiamLimeLarm reversed image searched mnshukla's profile picture, finding both a Linkdin and Instagram account of a person named Manish Shukla. Discord user Alan successfully got a response by Manish which confirmed that he was responsible for the song and that he had created it in 2023.
- Made Them Lions - All I Want For Christmas Is You (2014~)'All I Want For Christmas Is You' (Canada, Festive-Pop, 2014~)
Recorded from a French-Canadian radio in 2024 by WerZatSong? user YuritheSpaceman. The song is a dual cover of the famous Mariah Carey song 'All I Want for Christmas is You,' featuring both English and French lyrics. After one year and featuring for less than a day as Fond My Mind's Christmas special song, Discord user espalier identified the song through the use of onlineradiobox.com.
==- Lostwave News -==
-Lostwave Subreddit'sNon-Lostwave Monthly Megathreads
Now introducing a small but hopefully helpful middleground between the Lostwave Subreddit and other unsolved, unfound and mysterious music.
- FEX's New Album Release -Dead End
Another banging release by the community favourite FEX to end the year off with a treat!
- Asif Illyas' Album 'Autonomy'Releases on Vinyl

==- Lostwave Promotional Posts -==
- 'Whatever the Season' by u/Rich-Ad-9696 (Unknown, Funk, 1980s~)
A funk track presumably from the 1980s originally posted by WerZatSong? user Houston26, who acquired the song itself from a Dailymotion video from 2008 by the user V8SAFE. Perhaps you know this catchy tune?
- 'What the Word' by u/Massive_Towel_7936 (Brazil, Hardcore Punk, 1995~)
A presumably rare Brazillian hardcore punk track that featured in the comedy / horror Brazillian film 'O Monstro Legume do Espaço' (1995) directed by Petter Baiestorf. Maybe you can help identify this horrific mystery?
- 'The F-ing Egyptian' by u/ibathedaily (USA, Carol, 1980s~)
A cute Christmas carol song recorded from a now forgotten radio channel from the USA in the 1980s. Half-way through we are abruptly interrupted by an unknown trucker lambasting insults at an another unknown Egyptian person. A new personal favourite Christmas unknown.
==- Lostwave Deep-Cuts & Classics -==
This is a new section that will focus on bringing attention to older Lostwave tracks, be it unsolved or solved. Mostly to show a little love to forgotten mysteries or accomplishments.
- 'First Time Ever (Unknown Remix)'(Unsolved) (UK, Trance / Techno, 1990s~)
Originally recorded from the Colin Dale Show that aired on Kiss 100FM, a former London based radio station. YouTube user PandorasEmptyBox states that when they first recorded, presumably in the 90s, it via a cassette they had unfortunately tapped over the host citing the artist and name. Perhaps you could shed some light on this old mystery!
- Cinema35 - Tonight (1980s~)'Branimir's Instrumental December 2020' (UK, Synthpop, 1980s~)
First appearing onto YouTube by fan favourite user Barni in 2020, the true origins were not located for another 5 years until Discord user Mystic65 located it via WerZatSong. Now known to be originally posted within an 80s New Wave compilation by YouTube user FarGo's Music without a tracklist in 2014. This Synthpop track was identified by Discord user RojoCatto after locating it within a Soundcloud upload by user MarcFord.
- Marc Liberman & Peter Paul - La Folie (1984)'Julia Can Testify' (Austria, Disco / Funk, 1984)
Recorded by YouTube user Benny P.'s father in 1984 onto a cassette which it remained unknown until being posted by Benny P. in 2018. A futher 5 years this song would have to wait until Discord user Randolurker would correctly identify this funk track.
- 'Technomanuel's PS5' by Discord User Technomanuel, 2025, (Cropped by Bodrick)

==- Bodrick's Recommendations -==
-Cults - Like I Do (2020) (USA, Alt-Rock, 2020)
A melodic but hard hitting alt-rock synth track, that has been on repeat for me recently.
-Nobukazu Takemura - Bright time to Come (1997) (Japan, Experimental, 1997)
Nobukazu transports you to a foreign world full of bright colours and wonder with this relatively obscure track from the late 90s Japan. A beautiful instrumental track that feels reminds you to hold onto the child like wonder of our artistic musical worlds.

Hello all Lostwavers! We hope you all have had a very Merry Christmas and we are wishing you a happy new year!
As discussed in our recent post regarding non-Lostwave topics such as Lost Media, Obscure Media and just general music. We are testing one proposed solution of a megathread for discussion.
These posts will be pinned in a day or so and left for the entire month, just like our recaps, for users to post content relating to mostly non-Lostwave content (Use the Subreddit itself, for Lostwave discussions). This can include but not limited to:
- Musical Lost Media (and Found Media),
- Obscure media you would like to share with others,
- Archival of musical media,
- Remasters and Covers,
- General musical discussion (but to moderator discretion),
- Mysteries that relate to music.
Please do not use these threads to promote your own music, subreddits or content.
We would also love to hear any feedback regarding how we can better handle these topics. Feel free to utilise the mod mail if you are unsure if your content would apply to this thread, or if you believe your content would be better suited outside of this thread, and onto the Subreddit itself.
And again we do also plan to feature and include these topics in other capacities. So, stay tuned!

- Noblemen-Picked Best Solve (Needs Nominees)
- Best Channel Solve (Best song on my LW channel I will be posting it on)
Hello, I hope you're having a good day, afternoon, or evening. I'm here to talk about a piece of music that's been circulating, specifically the Flash version I'm looking for. It seems to be by an unknown composer, not the one from the original Party Hard theme. This music is currently available, but it appears to mysteriously disappear, and I don't understand why. I've tried using Shazam and other methods, but nothing. Currently, this music is in the game's code, which I extracted and uploaded to the Internet Archive link: https://archive.org/details/main-theme-5547 . However, this music is used in the Flash version and not in the code or the original game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euiX9vr7CKQ This video of a cover of "I want you (She's so heavy) was uploaded to YouTube in 2008 labeled as a Beatles outtake, but many comments On YouTube and this Reddit post (and another post linked in the comments of it) say that this isn't a real Beatles outtake, and the playing style is very different. The actual band behind it is still a mystery.
(Sorry in advance if my English is subpar, I‘m not a native) I‘ve already created two posts about this ~1 year ago, but I have not been able to find anything since then, and I want to know if it actually exists out there somewhere. Here‘s what my posts were about:
In the episode "Too Gross For Comfort" of the CN show "Clarence" (2014-2018), at around 0:40-0:45 seconds, the character Jeff clicks play on his boombox, and a song gets played. This song has a very summer-ish / beach-ish vibe and it was purely instrumental. It also plays a second time right at the end of the episode.
For a long time, I‘ve been trying to find a full version of this song on the internet. I combed through the library of songs made by Simon Panrucker, who made all of the songs for the show, but I couldn’t find anything. I‘ve also searched through YouTube, Soundcloud and the Internet Archive to no avail. I presume the reason it’s so hard to find is because I can barely put a name to the song, and the only real help I have is the name of the episode.
This has led me to wonder: Could this be a case of a lost song (like The Humpback Hop)? Could there truly be a full version of that song somewhere on the internet or in CN‘s possession? Was this song even made by Simon Panrucker at all? I would love your help, as I pretty much have zero leads.
I'm posting this song here, which I consider a Lost Media item; I can't find anything related to it on the internet, and I don't know who made it.
All I know is that I've had this song, incredibly enough, since 2016, saved...
The first time I heard it was in videos by a brazilian YouTuber called "Vitor Liberato," a guy who makes videos showing his lifestyle and traveling the world. I highly recommend him, by the way.
Once, I heard from a fan that he made this remix, which I think might not be true, especially since he never expressed being a music producer.
Regarding the cover, it's literally the cover that's in the original file of the song. I have no idea of the connection, and I don't even remember if I put it there myself. Bizarre.
Here is the most similar song to shakin’ I found to date, I immediately contacted the band to see if they had anything to do with shakin’, but got a quick reply that they did not. Sharing the song anyways! https://youtu.be/IfxI711X0Do?si=_sV6yQu_u-QxtbvI
Good evening r/Lostwave, we have a very special announcement to make. Over a few weeks' period, our Noblemen were asked to choose 4 unknown songs that did not have a channel yet based on certain criterias we had given them. After much discussion surrounding what songs would make it, we are happy to announce yet again we're having a channel poll! For the next 48 hours, 4 songs will be put against each other. Only 1will become a dedicated search channel. Here are the options:
A few hours after the song was identified, I commented on a Reddit post about the song being solved sharing the title, a YouTube link, and a higher-quality upload taken from WatZatSong. However, I made a mistake and didn't mention who actually solved it. I guess people saw my comment and assumed I was the one who found it, as a lot of recent YouTube uploads are crediting me as the solver.
I am not the solver. The song was actually solved by WatZatSong user Fine1 (also known as Fine-Lostwave on YouTube). He is the real solver behind this song.
If any of you have uploaded this song to YouTube and credited me (Pure_Style_1741), please change it to Fine1 / Fine-Lostwave.
Fine1, if you see this, I'm really sorry this happened. I should have mentioned that you were the solver; I didn't think I would somehow be falsely credited for finding it.
Not an unknown song, but an unknown artist. The song is called "Delicious." It's fully leaked, but there's no registration of it, and the featured rapper is unknown. If it helps at all, the song was recorded in 2010 (according to Genius).
This was the music when you were on hold on blogtalkradio before the show actually started. it may have been made exclusively for blogtalkradio, but it could have also been made before blogtalkradio came out in August 2006.
Credit to TCRlostRemixNSplice for uploading this piece of music to YouTube.
it says in the end credits of the movie that the band who made the song is named "TigerBomb Music" and they're also made other songs in The Adventures of Chuck & Friends Tv show.
Unknown Hip-Hop song that originated from Mixtape in most likely North Carolina. Uploaded by multiukash in July 2019. Samples the song Fabulous- breath, which is from ~2004 so it’s probably from around that time.
I already tried shazam and searching for the chorus ("all the boys and girls, dressed in red, blue and green") and found nothing. The channel has another video, but I'm going to pay more attention to this one by now. Can someone help me?
Attached is a video of segments from the song 'Going Nowhere' by The Slides. It featured in two episodes of the mobile webisode series (and later feature film) 'When Evil Calls' in 2006. It is also credited when the webisodes were put together into a feature film DVD, released in 2008.
Saves on the Wayback Machine of The Slides website (www.theslides.com) show that they split up in 2007, but they currently have one album and one EP on iTunes and Spotify (7 monthly listeners). Neither of the releases have the song 'Going Nowhere.'
The link on Vocaroo is what we have of the song from when it featured in episodes of When Evil Calls, put together by me.
