So the time has come to lift the veil of secrecy. I present a preview of my new album Soft Power. Work on the tracks began at the end of the summer of 2019, but the pandemic significantly changed plans.

The release will consist of 15 tracks: 5 original and 10 remixes. The total duration is just over an hour. This is by far the longest of my albums. I'm sure you will like it.

Special thanks to Zan for helping with the preview!

The release date will be announced in the near future

As One

**Monguus- SELECT happiness FROM life WHERE mindset = positive (Original Mix)**
by **Monguus Monguus Beauty Channel**

This track is a hypnotic acid techno statement driven by speed, repetition, and mindset.
Built around a **150 BPM pulse in A minor**, it merges raw acid sequences with modern **hybrid techno** aesthetics — fast, trippy, and relentlessly forward-moving.

Distorted **303-style acid basslines** cut through tight, pulsating **808-driven kicks**, while modular textures, vocal chops, and reverb-heavy FX constantly reshape the groove. Fast transitions, filter sweeps, and rhythmic complexity keep the tension high and the energy locked.

### 🔧 Story – *From Bug to Feature*

This track exists because my **TB-303 died**.
Three hours before a **live act in a bunker**, no backup, no time to panic.

Instead, I built a **303 from scratch in Sonic Pi**, mapped it via **MIDI to an Arturia MiniLab MK2**, and started tweaking on the fly.
During setup, I accidentally mapped the **accent parameter to the modulation touch strip** — completely wrong, technically speaking.

But the result?
A living, breathing acid line with **manual accent control**, expressive, unstable, and raw.
What started as a mistake turned into a defining performance element.

**From bug to feature.**
Pure live energy, no safety net.

The structure of the track reflects that moment:
minimal in harmony, maximal in movement — built for **dark rooms, bunker systems, and hybrid live sets** where control and chaos meet.

The title reflects the mindset behind it all:
positivity, focus, and flow are choices — just like selecting the right elements in code, music, and life.

Play it loud.
Let it loop.
Let it work.
