Some songs just sneak up on you from a random idea in the shower and turn into something you cannot get out of your head all day long. That is exactly what happened with the latest drop from Thickshake, the independent project run by Queensland artist Alex Budrodeen out of a spare room down in Rockhampton. His newest track, “My Own Groove”, leans hard into an upbeat funk pop vibe that brings back memories of Daft Punk during their Random Access Memories days mixed with the bright, infectious energy of Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars.
Writing, recording, and producing everything entirely on his own turns a standard bedroom setup into a genuine powerhouse of sound. Self-taught producers often take a long time to find their footing in a crowded scene, but Alex manages to balance raw regional grit with massive mainstream accessibility right from the opening seconds of the track. The song hits you immediately, pulling you straight into a rhythm that makes sitting still nearly impossible once those first notes drop. It is packed with bouncy basslines, catchy vocal hooks, and sharp production choices that feel both fresh and wonderfully nostalgic.
Thickshake is all about creating a vibrant sonic world where sugar-coated guitar tunes and rich synth-driven layers collide smoothly with mellow acoustic rhythms. “My Own Groove” proves that you do not need a multi-million-dollar downtown recording studio to make people want to get up and move their feet. Every single layer of the track feels deliberate, showing how much late-night dedication went into the gear down in that downstairs room.
