Inspired by the Monthly Acid Pattern for Oct 2013. Acid line written by Guy A Williamson.
Decided to go with the A4/Machinedrum just for grins...  what a ride this one was!
Thanks to @DyLabs for keeping the monthly acid pattern alive still...feels good to participate again.

Highsage - Analog Floor (Oct 13 Monthly Acid Pattern)

A track my 303 wrote for Jared on NYE 2015 just after our brother passed away.  R.I.P.... Please anyone listening to this, make sure to wait for the end...  for a proper 303 flatline send-off.

The Finger

One of those sunset nights back in 2010 alone in the studio during Project 100 ... 100 tracks in a year without any outside influences or releases.  Kinda feeling this one tonight, mood wise...thought I'd share with the community.

If Something Ever Happened

Live Elektron gear hardware set in an underground (literally) hacker party (toorcon.org).
Several hundred hackers, and the power of three elektrons pumping out deep driving kicks, detroit pads, and vinyl samples for techno/house set that enveloped the whole crowd in a wash of pure techno machinery...  Broken into two parts, this is the line recording off the audio card.

Acid Pain

Raw. Analogue Techno. Techno flavored Techno. Roland 16-step focused live jammed beats. Guitar pedals, verb tanks, gates, modular patch cables, white noise, urban samples...all mixed to a techno/house grove with attention given to subtle modulations on nearly all parts of the track.
The artistic freedom to settle in, carve out the groove, paint the aesthetic, proceed with artistic integrity and intention, and liberate the music already inside. My hope is only to connect with the people looking for honest, uncompromising art, and inspire them again to see the future as we once did in the past in early Chicago and Detroit. The world is on a temporary detour in terms of commercialized techno and laptop DJ pandemonium. Vinyl...the only phuture vision worth holding on to...the last analogy to Detroit. Computers were never the future...they were always just a 2d facsimile of it. The future was only ever captured in the raw art, the rave innocence, of the modulation of machines, sample pads, and turntables. Peace, Love, Unity and Respect...all while dancing, trusting, dreaming of the future while jacking a bass bin at 5am. It was only ever about the music moving your body.  Miles, Mills, Mayday, Atkins, Voorn, Roy Davis Jr., Principle...those are the gentlemen on my mind tonight, as the music finds its way out of the liberated machines.  If you want to see for yourself just how we rock the machines, here you go:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kz-Ybf2cTD4
