buying philips music kit is the best invesment ive ever made in my entire life
it will flop
same
that is one sad life man
@@michaelwesten4624 let someone be nice smh
love your profile picture
I bought it immediately when it came out. It's cool to see someone else using it ingame too
Same
Same
same here, I love how it's not obnoxious like some other music kits and how closely I associate these songs with cs and source
same
I haven't but will buy it later, though I had bought all of his and his dad's music on Bandcamp...
Your mixing and music choice for all aspects of the game was spot on, honestly. By far my most favourite kit alongside Hotline Miami.
Funny. My music kit is also Hotline Miami and 3kliks
Yes I had kept Hotline Miami for pretty much ever, before that it was the 8-bit kit, now I'm happy to run 3kliks kit until I stop playing CSGO for good.
Absolutely same. I've had the Hotline Miami kit for years and now I may have to switch to this. Philip and his dad's music is intrinsically linked with CSGO for me
Imagine sleeping on the Pooper Belt AKA "EZ4ENCE" kit.
@@cindericedemon that one is horrible. It's actually annoying to listen to.
3kliksphilip: youtuber, musician, director, manager, storyteller... You have mastered art.
And also english teacher. I often come to his videos to learn english because he speaks really clear.
He is a game designer too. He makes maps at least in cs go.
and juggler.
and, the most important of all, PATCH NOTES READER!!!
Janner
I bought it as soon as I could. Absolutely floored it was added. You have been such an inspiration for the cs community and beyond. (I learned to juggle because of you) congratulations, and hope there’s still more to come!
same for me when i watched the video where he said that valve added his music i immediately start up csgo ditched ma halo music kit and bought his music kit. best investment just above bot sticker.
I clicked for the music and left motivated with solid life advice... Philip, you never disappoint!
since playing with the music kit, I have began saying "we're heading to the source" when my teammates ask which site every round after I MVP.
I just wanna say that one of my friends who have never watched your videos or had that association with the music still bought and uses the kit because he loves the ambience in the majority of the tracks. So I can safely say there are some outsiders who enjoy the tracks. I figured this might help with the imposter syndrome cuz I know how rough it can be.
Well that's cool to know/here!
The story behind your and your father's passion for making music is so heartworming. im glad the two of you have been featured in the game!
Your relationship with your father is so wholesome
I’ve associated you and your dad’s music with CS from watching your content for years. Your music style is incredibly nostalgic and comfy. The inclusion of your music kit is perfect for the game, and I will be using it. Also, thank you for putting your music on Spotify. Really happy to see Stevens music up, especially “Digadig” and “Synchobonk”, certified kliksphilips jammers.
Whenever I or someone else gets MVP and this music kit plays, I almost forget that in about 10 seconds I'm supposed to be buying a loadout instead of jamming to the amazing tunes you've created.
Same here
Thank you Philip for everything you’ve done for the community and for releasing this banger music kit.
the song at 3:33 is so nostalgic for some reason. it feels like you took inspiration fron the late 90's early 2000's because i know a few Playstation tech demos, games and demo discs that had similar tranquil feelings... the synths or samples at 3:36 sounds especially reminiscent of that past and i'm all here for it. thanks for this trip down memory lane
7:35 I feel like this about most of my hobbies only after I found something I was good at. Back then, I felt like I NEEDED to make something good or "worth my time" even if I was absolutely rubbish at it, but now that I feel like I'm decent at one or two things, who cares if my other hobbies are 'worth my time'? I'm doing them to have FUN!
I really like your and your dads music, they remind me the nostalgia of playing flash games and it's funny that's what they were mainly made for. I'm listening to your dada's newer albums right now and I really wish for both of you to continue for as long as possible. Also, I think the death cam music in the kit is from "Lies" right? that's my favourite one and now it justifies me dying a bunch, thanks!
This father-son relationship with music is pretty sweet, ngl. I'm sure there have been bumps on the road between you two, but hearing this out makes me understand why people do think families are sacred; this intrinsic connection that can only be explained with fond memories... I guess it's why I can't get myself to completely hate my own dad even after everything he did wrong.
Being a long time viewer I think it's so incredibly surreal to see your music kit make it into the game, you are the only content creator that keeps me interested in CS:GO even tho I haven't played the game in ages, and your general personality, your way of doing things and your seemingly endless enthusiasm for the nerdiest of details about the game, the engine, and things surrounding it have kept me hooked for all this time. In my mind you were never too big a channel, a somewhat niche in the community, most of the people I talked to when discussing CS:GO content didn't know you, but I enjoyed your content regardless. Seeing how this music kit is so much more than just about you and your contributions to the game but also the story of a father and son creating something they love together is simply amazing. The music is iconic to me, and represents so much not just about CS:GO but the this general energy you have when talking about the topics in your videos. They are an idea, a mindset in a way. It's inspiring to see how far you've come and how true to yourself you've remained over the years and how genuine and wholesome it is you still value the inspiration your father gave you to make music as a kickstart to your whole path to today. I love the kit, and I love your content, both the videos and the music, and I hope you can keep going for much longer because I want to keep watching you and your mad ramblings about a nearly two decade old engine and it's games that have been a part of my childhood just as well.
The whole video reminds me of that line from better call saul "in life you make choices, and choices put you on a path - they might seem small but they put you on a path"
Your music gives me an unreal feeling of watching your game dev videos at 3 am and trying clickteam fusion when the first lockdown happened, 6 hours straight from midnight to 6 am just straight on focused on learning clickteam and trying to make something like you did but never did. Your game dev journey series pushed me to begin learning game dev in general i'm going to start my own journey soon and learn making music and everything. Thank you for inspiring me
i've been watching your videos for some months and always liked the backgroung music. When the music kit came out i bought it immidiately and turned the volume if every song to the max. i can always feel that sense of nostalgia for something that is recent. When i asked my friends who don't know you to hear it they said they said they didn't like it but i'm not really sure whether they acctually listenned to the music kit or just said that so i would shut up about it. But anyway i think we as 3kliksphilip subscribers have some kind of sentimental binding to those songs as we have listened to them for a while now which is really sad as i think that heading for the source deserves more attention than most other music kits in the game as it doesn't boom your ears off whit loud screaming and also feels like it could acctually be a GAME soundtrack.
This is barely related to CS:GO and yet it's one of my favorite videos you've ever made. An absolutely precious gem, and I'm very happy to see music touch your lives as much as it has touched mine ^_^
I found your channel back in middle-school & it's been such a fun ride to watch you grow (and grow myself) & now I can have a part of your content in a game series I've enjoyed since I was a toddler. Thank You xx
I started watching your videos in late 2020, and I can say that your songs have stuck in my head. Your songs have a different feeling to them, not many I've heard make me feel the same way, I really like them. Thanks for your work.
I FREAKING LOVE YOUR TUNES!!! they are so, SO nostalgic to me, I'm in love, thank you Philip
The thing I love most about your music kit is its connection to the game. Sure, the other ones are good standalone music, but yours feels like a perfectly fitting augumentation for the game, that gives it so much more than just music.
Really glad to see music bringing jjoy to you and your dad (and the community) in so many different ways. Loved watching the video
I bought it a couple of days ago, I'm really liking the music kit, hearing your dad's and your music in game is something really cool. Much love to you and your dad from Argentina ❤️❤️
Love the kit, thanks for all the work you put in!
Your music kit is what I hold dear in my heart, Phillips. I've been watching since I was in junior high and now I'm basically an adult. I can go back to the moments where I've seen your videos back then and the songs can sometimes associate with those moments. I can go back to those moments everytime I log in to CS now. Thank you!
Loved the last part. Just as in the Metal Gear video, the endings to your videos are always something that I feel like try to reach the audience on a deeper level. And the lesson you try to send here in this one it's incredibly valuable! You have always been such a special youtuber. From the very old first videos, to the Hammer tutorials (which were the best at that time, in my opinion) to where you are now, the journey has been a joy to follow. I remember when you contacted subscribers personally to ask about what content would they like to see back when youtube allowed you to do that and I was so happy and surprised to see that you messaged me. Made me feel important and quite special which is why you'll always have a special place in my youtube heart.
You're a big influence in my own music making, and gives me motivation when I feel like I can't make anything good. Your attitude towards creating music is admirable!
What a wonderful and heartwarming video. I’ve always liked you Philip - been following you since your humble beginnings - I’m extremely proud of everything you’ve achieved ! Keep on the good times !
Congrats on getting the music kit on the game!! I got it as soon as I could and I am enjoying it a lot! It just brings nostalgia of watching your vids which I have been watching since the SDK tutorials but mostly from the going low series, hope you keep pushing forward :)
I bought it as soon as I saw it was added, and absolutely love it, everytime I hear your music, be it in game, in your videos or on my spotify playlist, it always makes me feel relaxed or happy. There's something so pure about your music. Thank you Philip.
I got the music kit no regrets at all! I now turn my music volume up lol.
This was all wholesome to learn about. Thank you for sharing this part of your and your dad's line with us. Ask the best for all your future endeavors Philip! ♥️
I immediately bought the kit when it came out, not just because of the associations with the music, but also because it sounds so fantastic!! :)
I had to cop the kit right away, thank you for all of the great content Philip! You mentioned how the tracks are nostalgic, and I have to agree. Even though, I've only been playing for a few months now! Very well done sir
best music kit ever. fits the game perfectly IMO
Im so glad it got added, your music journey and your father's music have inspired me to make (or attempt to make) music of my own in a similar style!
i always thought about how the songs in ur videos gave me this nostalgic and cozy feeling and i thank you and your dad for this amazing music kit please make another kit with your dad you have all of our supports
videos that are just like.. about you are just so nice to listen to
Yours and your father's music has such an ethereal feel that I cannot possibly describe to someone without having them listen to it. I screamed when I saw your music kit got added and bought it immediately. I can't wait to enjoy yours and your dad's music for years to come.
As someone that's wanted to make music, I'd LOVE to see a channel just for KiliksMusic, and I plan on getting this in game ASAP, I'll have to settle for the normal version unless I get lucky with drops in game and can save up for a StatTrak one, and actually play comp again to get that number up. But I never knew the music was yours all this time in these videos, they're so good and I just love hearing them in the backgrounds...so cozy.
Love the music kit and fully happy to support one of my favorite youtubers. Congrats again phil, this truly is something to be proud of.
I played CSGO recently after a long break and saw your name under a music kit and was blown away. Had to see the story behind it, will be buying’n
Didn't know your dad was so into synthesisers, very cool! Do you still have the old synths?
@@3kliksphilip nice to hear that he still has some
This was just excellent. I bought the kit as soon as I heard about it. Great stuff!
Having your work published is a surreal experience, and like mentioned in the video, you can only wonder the things you did to get you to such moment. When TF2 began accepting user submissions it didn't took long for stories of how the creators lives where changed to come out. All positive. I wanted to give it a try too but I never learned how to 3D model so it just passed on me. Stuck to making a Super Mario world ROM hack. Long story short, the skills for creating graphics ported extremely well to making a Minecraft texture pack. Hearing about your father's journey to publishing his work is heartwarming. Clearly he's talented, so having all his tracks online is a win for everyone honestly. Hope to see more from both of you and congratulations on the release!
Thanks for the kit! I got the StatTrack version same moment it hit the shelves, and best thing I can say about it is that it is calming and positive melancholy inducing. Reminds me that I play for fun and that there is no need to rage over a lost round
The both of you should be proud. It's music that's definetely struck a chord with many, including myself. I remember wondering to myself randomly while watching certain videos of yours, "damn im vibing to this background music, where's it from". And for Valve to add it to a game that's beloved to you, Congratulations man.
I've been a subs since the early cs days, I've met you at Cologne at 2017 and I've been listening to you and your dads music since forever! I have a special map in my music folder named "steventhedreamer" and I had forgotten all about it, it's all music from you and it still holds! Your music and snippets just feels good listening to, the nostalgia, the vibe from cs you get and the rhytm of it all just makes you feel great! Awesome job to both you and your dad making some bangin music Philip! I don't even play cs anymore but I will still buy the musickit to support both of you! Good luck with future musicmaking aswell
I love your music kit. Synths are great, the story behind it is amazing and its so nostalgic whether its from your videos or old games! I also find this video really inspirational and ill take your advice and see what happens!
I love your music! bought the kit as soon as it came out.
Your captions *always* make me chuckle
I bought the Initiators box the day it came out and I pulled your music kit on first try. Having gone through over 10 music kits over the years, yours is by far the best one. It fits in to the game so well and it's the only music kit I have used that I haven't muted main menu music on. This is and probably will stay as my favorite music kit.
Thank you for this video Phillip it is honestly rather inspirational, especially towards the end. I have always wanted to be an artist but I just never got around to truly commiting to it, just a doodle here and there. But now as you sed "Do stuff" so now I will try to :)
Now would be the time to release Heading 2 the Source
Thak you for sharing your journey because it will inspire hundreds, even if only slightly.
I never thought I would buy a music kit. I went and bought "heading for the source" 2 mins into this video despite barely playing CS these days, and just listening to it while watching the main menu made feel so at home i couldnt belive it. I generaly dont even like synth music but these tracks are hitting me different. It also somehow makes me really happy that Volvo cemented you into the game in such a fitting way. I wish you and your dad all the best from germany :)
Great work Flip. Thanks for sharing.
This is the most inspirational video I have ever witnessed Philip thank you
Bought the kit on day 1. Absolutely love it! Congrats on making it into the game!
I adore how candidly you describe your whole journey and thought process through the various parts of your experience with music, from your anxieties about not getting approval from valve, the relationship between your dad and music, and what it means to make art for yourself - thank you so much. It really feels like I've been taken on a tour through someone's mind, and that's something that happens very rarely with only the most honest art. Happy for you man.
I really like it. you and your dad's music fills my playlists
I've been really struggling to find non-copyrighted music for my KZhead channel and I never even thought about making my own,, thank you so much for this idea
Thank you Philip, remarkable video!
I always liked your ( and your father's songs) because it always sounded so futuristic and in line with the content you are making, that is very detailed and if i may say it different than other out there. Even though i am not playing cs anymore, i always come to see your videos because they are like that.
Inspiring, thanks for sharing all of this. Life do be a mess but you seem to be making quite a lot out of it
As someone watching since 2014 you hit it on the nose I absolutely love the song from the going low series. Love atomic amnesia but your dads song is iconic for me and I love sitting on the menu waiting for the motif to play.
This is truly so inspirational. I'm gonna go and start doing things I wanna do now. I will suck at them, but it will make me happy anyway. Thank you.
I don’t even play cs anymore, but I went and bought one. Great work mate.
I bought this music kit instantly. I've been watching your videos for so long now, long enough that i've gone through highschool and uni and i'm about to become a physician, and I gotta say your songs give me some kind of happiness and nostalgia, along with memories of good times playing/studying with them on the background :) thank you for everything, Philip
that's so cute seeing your success lead to your dad reigniting his passion for something he loves. this is a very wholesome video, not something i'd expect from some zany gamer guy
Love the music, choices & combination. Got the stattrack version of course~
Once again, I can only say thank you and your dad! For me, your music is nostalgic, because it was my childhood to play some CS:GO after school with friends. After some games, I always watched your videos and the biggest catch was always "Going low in CS:GO" and your "Video game journeys". It makes me happy to hear, that your father will continue to publish his new songs and that we can be a part of his audience. So again, a big thank you that these things will always be memories for me and even some of my friends!
first and only musickit I ever bought and the only reason I turned on music ingame after 6k hours. And I love it. Every single bit. Somehow the quality of your videos get transfered by the music to the game and the game itself feels better now.
I am so jealous that you were able to make your dad do something he loves and to connect with him like that show him the way , really Beautiful enjoy the time with your dad.
The kit is naturally brilliant, but thank you for sharing you and your dad's story! It's so interesting and insightful to get a sense of content creators' journeys, I wish you and your dad all the best in continuing to do what you love.
Love your work x
Wow this Music kit is truly an Iceberg scenario, its story is pretty big and deeper than it looks.
When I saw this update, meaning when I saw your and your dad's kit made it into the game I just had to have it, besides the quality music, just for enjoying you through the years and never being able to support in any meaningful way I was instantly hooked when about 3 weeks ago your old vid about the music kit was randomly recommend to me on yt. Glad to have it, glad to finally show you some form of appreciation. Keep it up ♥️
Honestly never heard of you, but randomly decided to get my first music kit and had listened to all the songs on the music kit case and hoping to get yours. I got it, got sick music for CS and found an awesome content creator! I think your music fits the game perfectly
Oh my god I’m so happy your fathers music is on spotify now as well, synchobonk is one of my all time favourite songs
got the kit it minute it was on the market, even gifted a friend one, it's changed the whole feel of the game, so happy they finally put it in - love it, thank you Phillip!
Thank you Phillip and Philip's dad for the wonderful music kit. As an artist that loves to make art this video really helped motivated me, especially at the near end bit. Thanks again.
i showed a friend that never watched you or even plays cs your music and he enjoyed it quite a lot, he even asked me for a playlist with these songs this has to be my favorite music kit along side hotline miami
I never wanted to buy a music kit, but then yours came out and I bought it, just because this is a really important part of my cs journey.. I used to watch a lot of your videos and still do so from time to time! So thanks for everything :)
i havent played the game for some time now, but when you MK went out i immediately bought it even tho i dont play the game anymore. thanks both of you for making it possible
really great story, thanks for sharing. You often remind me of the humanity in Video Games in a time when games feel very corporate.
when you got the songs on spotify it popped into some of the song radios I had running at the time and I saved the radio playlist for atomic amnesia then it got added to a few road trip playlists and during one of the road trips I realized that you made the songs I found out about the other songs and started listening to all of them on shuffle So I don't associate your songs with your content because i didnt pay attention to it during videos but I associate it with hanging out with my friends and family (and cleaning, it's nice to clean to)
I've taken a long break of playing csgo but your channel kept me connected the entire time so it's an honor to hear your music in the game!
Your music definitely stands up to those who don't have a YT following and the nostalgia effect. I love listening to Audio Crime, and I believe there are multiple tracks on there that haven't been in any of your videos, or at least only in videos before I knew about your channels.
This music kit is soo nostalgic, especially music from going low series and weapon show case series , I remember when used to come from school and enjoy 3kilk’s videos , When I saw this kit I bought it instantly
I've been owning it since the release day, I really like the music kit and my teammates too :D
Its Perfect!!!!!! i waited so much for this! love it
Honestly, it's very cool to be on our own nostalgic journey with this music kit. I can attest from playing with friends that haven't seen your videos that their response was... A bit puzzled, as to why someone would use that as a music kit. But my friends who are also longtime viewers absolutely loved when I got MVP and the music played. This is deserved, for how unique and special of an association you have with the CS community. Congratulations, and godspeed with your music making journey!
The music kit is amazing love the vibe it puts off
Inspiring video, much love to you and your dad
