GADE SYSTEM

EXE - M049 - Gade System (2021)

Kicking March right in the hyper-drive we've got an electrifying mix from Germany's Gade System. Following on from his previous alias 'Breakforce One' Gade System returns with a more refined sound focusing on themes of cybernetics and Futurism set to an erratic form of Neurofunk drum and bass. 

His recent work that we'll be proud to share later is a testament to the time and energy this young producer has put into his craft. We invited him to perform a mix for us and we were certainly not disappointed. 

Expect twists and turns and break-neck changes in direction in this exclusive one hour mix from Gade System. Enjoy.

11 Karma

Named after one of many in-jokes born at 2022's Boomtown Festival, this is a bit of an overloaded, unhinged monster of a Skullstep Track. I just threw loads of ideas at FL Studio and tried to see what sticks and ended up with a tune that has 6 different drops. And foghorns. Because why not. I can now say i snuck foghorns on a Jungle Syndicate release. Put that on my gravestone.
The main drums in this partially sample a Limewax tune i really like, and that should tell you where a lot of the inspiration for it came from. I've been playing out entire Skullstep Sets occasionally but never really gotten around to actually making a track in that style so I'm glad it finally happened, even if it is infested by all the little quirks that are usually found in my tracks.

Big Oof is one of the very few times i named a track in the very early stages of production. I sat down one evening messing around with some white noise and came up with that first drum pattern. My initial, honest reaction was to maniacally laugh and call the project file "big oof.flp" and that's what stuck. I made the rest of the song very quickly after that, as it was a good premise for an entire track already
It's an outlier in a discography full of outliers. It's definitely the shortest track i can remember making and it's also the most minimal. I like odd Drum Patterns and my previous experience with breakbeats fit into the picture quite well too, which made it a very easy track to work on. I remember finishing it and thinking "wow that's pretty good" and cockily submitted it for airplay at Vision Radio. They ended up actually playing it, which was a highlight of this year for me. The laugh at the end of this track is sampled from Dave Columbo on that radio show and is just how I heard that track ending in my head since that happened, so i put it in the actual final version too. It fits quite well with the absurdity and the humour of the track so it seemed like a good match in that way too.

Big Oof

Painful Reminder was born from my natural urge to make "one of those" - a mid-2000s Tearout Amen epic with vocals. A niche subgenre I've very much been into for years and years now. I started that track using some sort of generic acapella, but knew I'd approach Vlada about doing vocals, and she happily agreed. I've known and talked to Vlada for years and since we worked together on "My Only Night Alive" in 2014 or so, we always wanted to do more stuff but somehow never got around to it until this tune came around. She visited me last year and recorded a demo version of this in my room with a first draft of lyrics she had written for it and i immediately loved it. With the final vocal tracks especially i feel like she makes that song basically entirely on her own.
Production wise, i spent the most amount of time iterating through different amens and trying to get them to sound "just right". Of course as it often goes i never managed to hit that sweet spot I was aiming for but i think the end result is at the very least good enough. The final amen in this tune is a weird Frankenstein hybrid of 3 different breaks with a ton of back and forth processing. I couldn't recount the chain from memory if you held a gun to my head. A stupid amount of work went into that break and i am glad i don't have to think about it anymore from now on.

Painful Reminder (ft. Vesnà)

I made the majority of Vertigo in a week. Definitely the worst week of this entire year for me, which almost definitely had a huge impact on how the track sounded. I was experimenting with sine harmonics for that lead synth and i made quite a mournful little Arp melody and then built the entire track around that. I have a strong dislike for simple ABAB structures in tunes (most of the time), so my compulsion was to just let it end in a drawn out, epic pad section. So yea that's why that is in there.
I don't really tend to put any personal meaning into songs so i can't really write something cool along the lines of:
"It's an evening in autumn. Your standing at a train station and it's time to move on. You're scared of letting go but you have to move on. This is the soundtrack for that."
That sounds cool and all but it's just not what it is. I ended up with a sad melody and because I was sad I made a sad track. Then i needed some ambience and found a field recording of a train station so I layered that over the end. That's it. Sorry for that peek behind the curtain.
What I can say though is that this track deserves a big thanks to Wally https://soundcloud.com/coman-dante who graciously provided me with some amazing Reese basses, one of which is the basis for the bassline in this song. Absolute legend.

You thought that you were safe but they wouldn't let you be. This feeling never leaves.

You'll try to run but they will find you, no matter how far you end up getting.

Nothing is forever, but this is.
________________________________________________________
I try to at least do one release/year as i am very slow with actually finishing stuff. My next release is well in the works. It looks like it will be an album and i am excited to show you guys what i've been up to. It's going to be a departure in some ways of what i've been doing with the project so far while also fleshing out some aspects i've been awkwardly trying to establish as part of the project's identity.

Either way, THIS tune is a set tool type of deal i've done for gigs i had recently. Hope you enjoy it.

Stylistically it's quite similar to my track "11 Karma", in that it combines all of my influences into one piece.

Abject Permanence is a lot simpler in structure, but it's total excess in every way i could push it. I think of it as a Breakcore track, but that's for you to decide.
