“Mars Wind are 2 hard techno kids from the streets, and the lovely Marta who sings from her cold heart into the fast night. Rip it up to this!”

Mars Wind is a project that in_tense (@vesabios) and I created in the haze of an extended drinking binge… yay, vodka!


We decided to deliberately limit ourselves to the SID chip for all of our melodic and percussive needs (or at least an emulation of one, courtesy of QuadraSID VSTi by reFX), abandoning the traditional approach of using more advanced synthesisers which would have us wasting far too much time browsing endless presets.

Working within these constraints actually created a great sense of freedom and forced us to be more creative. Our intention was to create short, fun tracks with a high replayability factor.

Knight Rider. A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist. 

Michael Knight. A young loner on a crusade, to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless.

The Equalizer centers on a retired intelligence agent Robert McCall with a mysterious past, who uses the skills from his former career to exact justice on behalf of innocent people who find themselves in dangerous circumstances, while sometimes also dealing with people from their past in covert operations who want to pull them back in or settle old scores.
