CharlestheFirst - Out of the Dark (45 Minutes of Original Music) 

thank you all so much for the support on this new music. I made this collection of music for anyone struggling with addiction / depression /anxiety in these times. rip my girl chynna, love & miss u

Rest In Peace KING Charles. You’re music touched so many people indescribably. Your music is so powerful. Grateful we’ll have that forever. Going to be painful for a long time. You are the goat. Incredibly inspiring, as a human even. Brought so many people and talented artists together. So many memories I’m forever grateful for

2024 and still listening non-stop!!!!!

rest in peace, your music was amazing my dude

I don’t think it’ll ever stop hurting to think about what a tragedy it is to have lost Charles. Mourning an artist that so profoundly impacted the community echoes forever. We love you Charles. Wish we could have your gifted existence back in the flesh again :( thank you for sharing your beautiful, timeless art with us

RIP Charles. You'll never leave my rotation

What I love about your music is that it works as smooth groovy background music, but then once every few minutes it demands your attention. Not only are these more dynamic parts a pleasure, but it helps you remain mindful of the music through the ensuing downtempo parts.

bro, this due was the most talented, young individual. he did so much in this short time on earth he had its unbelievably remarkable.

I love you so much, I'm so heartbroken. This mix gave me life when I didn't think I had it left in me. Rest in paradise king 👑

Dude rest in piece. You were a huge inspiration to all of us. You’ll be dearly missed 💔

We dont even understand the legend we lost yet So much love for what you did man. The pure love for your craft and its effect is so inspiring. Thank you brother

I don’t understand how someone’s sound could be so diverse yet so distinct. I can tell it’s Charles from miles away. Even all his old shit. Thanks for the inspiration you’ve given me man

Man, why is nobody talking about how incredible these visuals are? Who made these?! It's absolutely amazing how well they match with Charles' music. The lonely, eerie feeling of electronic glitches mixed with sounds and visuals that feel so natural. This is such an amazing audio-visual experience.

Heavy hearted. RIP to a fucking legend man

If someone were to ask what a contemporary artistic masterpiece looked like, I'd send them to this video. The composition; the visuals; the production; the energy. Literally incredible job to all involved.

Still the most fire mix ever produced

Seeing him enjoy himself so much playing his music makes me so happy. RIP to a legend, a truly unique and beautiful presence on this Earth. Gonna go cry now.

You’re music has taken me on emotional journeys I never thought I’d have R.I.P ❤️

RIP KING 👑 . Your music touched me in a way I'll never forget. Literally last night I played this stream and here I am again. Sending so much love to everyone. Treasure this life while we still can. Lab group til I die!!!!

Rest in peace Charles. You were such an inspiration to me. When I was pregnant and all music made me feel sick, you were the only artist I could listen to and it brought me so much peace and comfort. I haven't been able to stop mourning your loss. Gone too soon.

I'm going to miss you Charles. You were an icon to the bass industry. I can't even believe it still

All of your tracks are unique and have a beautiful mix of chill/heavier beats. You're one of those artists that really stands out to me. This is some good shit.

This is mystical sound medicine...if you haven't meditated to this with psilocybin, your not exploring the full potential of what this is. It's calling you. Nature loves courage. Namaste.

Love you, Charles. Rest easy and long live the King.

You were the last artist I saw before the covid-19 outbreak in Grand Rapids. Truly an amazing night.

RIP Charles :( This was one of my favorites lockdown sets form 2020 . You will be dearly missed. Gone way too soon :( 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Rest in peace bro, your music brought so much joy to the world and I'm so lucky to have been able to enjoy it when you were alive. Rest easy

Rest easy Charles, One of a kind, gone way to early.

Fuck man.. I listen to this everyday. I know I still have that blessing to continue to do so but it might not ever be the same. I love you to the moon and back. There is no way any of us could have prepared for this. My heart aches. You have helped me through it. You have helped us through it. We idolize you. We will never forget you. We will always love you. I love you I wish I could say this to you again. You deserve/deserved to hear it as much as possible. Thanks for everything. Thanks for your existence, thanks for your music, thanks for your advice, thanks for being you. Your music will transpire. You're music will live on. We will carry you, your sound, your uniqueness forever. Thanks for being you Charles. Thanks for everything. I love love love you. Rest easy my dear friend.

It really hurts that I finally found that one perfect artist only to find that he has passed. I'm so sorry Charlie for the pain you had to suffer, rest in heaven.

This set changed my life I am forever grateful this is up forever …. Rest In Peace man…., wanted to bring in the new year with you

Still so many amazing unfinished songs in here. May this legend rest in peace. Im broken and sad I won't to get to experience his sound live again

This sesh got me through the lockdowns. Thank you for everything you did. You were the one artist I wanted to see live. I was supposed to go see you when you came to milwaukee a couple years ago and allowed an abusive relationship to stop me- I'll regret it forever. Your music will live on. Rest in peace

This set helped walk me out a really dark place last year ..still can't believe the news...R.I.P. Charles, you are surely missed 😢

You can really feel the energy and passion he put into his work. This video is a masterpiece, from the song selection, to the glitchy nature visuals, and the authenticity. We miss u Charles rest easy man 💙

Fuck man. Still cuts too deep. Your inspiration will run deep into the bass community. Some of the most original sounds we had the pleasure of hearing. RIP Charles. We will all miss you.

One of my favorite artists. Your music is so so beautiful and entrancing. I love the heavier drops and ambient melodies all the same

“I’ll keep my ahead above the water for you.” It’s incredible how much of an impact you had. So much love, so much soul. So fucking real. Thank you for existing. Thank you for sharing your beauty with us. Will cherish your art forever. Rest easy nature boy

Will forever mourn this loss of this artist. His music saved me...wish he could have been saved

Hurts so much. You were the perfect soul that came to this earth and touched everyone who came into contact with you. Either personally or through your music. Rest easy King..

MY MANS U MUST RELEASE UR IDS OR I WILL EVAPORATE

Literally can’t help but cry when listening to this. I am so devastated that you are no longer with us. I have showed your music to so many people that have also fallen in love with it. Rest In Peace dear soul, you will be missed ❤️

Here again. Crying and vibing. Miss you man

i will listen every day for the rest of my life

I listen to this shit like once a day, genius set

It’s blows my mind that every fest I’ve seen u at (forest, hula, okee) slots you in the day time. You need a 2am set. This is one of my favorite videos on RU-vid.

Miss you bubba. I'm forever thankful to have met you. Your music literally changed my life. See you down the road my brother.............

The future couldn't be brighter, pushing the sonic limits

Your music is everything to me. Wish you were still here, brother.😢 will always cherish your music

Your music has so much emotion in it. It’s incredible. How you are able to translate that into sound.

The Chynna Remix you did is the sickest thing I have ever heard. Been my favorite song since the day I first heard it.

I still can’t believe you’re gone, I love you my guy!

Coming back to this magic. In my toughest times Your music moves me in ways words can’t even handle or even come close to the weightless magic feeling I get when listening to your sounds. It doesn’t get easier losing u as days pass.. We’re missing you dearly Charles, “We don’t know where we’re going” but it’s so nice to still listen to your art as a soul reminder Much love forever to you. CTFF!! 🌿

I miss you so much. There's just a massive space in this world, but I am so grateful for the immortalizing craft you created and inspired so many with. There are few words that hold the true sentiment of how deeply you touched so many people, but I just want to say thank you. Your music was there for me in spaces of needed healing when I thought I had no tools, no one and not even myself. Thank you so much.

Rest In Peace. Your music is part of my journey of growth through life and addiction. Thank you for your contribution to this world.

Breaks my heart every day brothers and sisters...

You are the reason I started producing music 2 years ago and you still keep me inspired to stay in the daw to this day. Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration. Your music is the only album I've bought in a decade if that tells you anything about how much your fans value your art. keep grinding.

I haven’t been able to stop watching this masterpiece the last couple of days. Rest in power Charles ❤️

i respect your production skill so much. its intimidating

I have been to two shows in Portland OR. I got way too drunk at the last one and you played something new at the time and I was so overwhelmed I had to go outside... Please come back once it's safe and bring Supertask and CloZee with you please.

forever envious of anyone that got to cross paths with him. but eternally grateful i was able to know him through his music.

Rest in fucking paradise. We will all miss you so much. My condolences to his family and close friends.

Rip Charles he always did anything from the heart

Dude was SO talented!

RIP Charles, your music is one with the world forever

THE WORLD NEEDED THIS THANK YOU SM YOU ARE A BELOVED TREASURE 😭❤❤❤

I miss you so much !

He's GONE???....your music was/is absolutely DIVINE....I feel blessed to have experienced it. Thank you

You'll forever be a part of us 💜

Miss you so much bro

That was me being a Stan during the stream lol but you really are my favorite producer. Much love CTF 💜

devastated right now, rip king

I just wanted to say how much your music truly means to me. It's gotten me through so much and many hard times. I've also created some beautiful art and Danced/ Flowed my heart out to this mix specifically countless times. All love 🖤🖤🖤

Miss you, Charles. Watching you spin with my dad gave me the boost I needed to start my own journey, I'm sorry I never took you up on that offer to come learn more from you. I didn't know the opportunity until I lost it, wish we could have you back

Can't wait for the release on the ID at 37:04

I am not understanding anything. How is it that in a video from April 2020 it is a perfect synthesis of all his record work including the releases that he had not yet released from 2022? How is it that knowing the effect that the Banshee Strings were going to have in the future, he left for the end of this video the most painful and perfect transition that I have ever heard (For now vs. Banshee) long before Labgroup had released the first album? It's just amazing, totally absurd, it's unbelievable, I don't get it. I think he didn't leave a 10-hour infinite loop of those transition seconds in this video, just because he also knew we weren't going to get out of that, and he wouldn't want something like that. I love you so much and miss you.

Rest in Power Charles. Your talent and heart will forever be missed. Thank you for sharing them with us during your time on earth

Man I found your music months ago and have been following ever since. You are magical and my inspiration.

Forever my favorite mix and my favorite artist. I fucking love you Charles thank you for saving me and for healing me

THE VERSE OVER HAIR IN THE WIND OH MY GOD, MY CORE
