too sparse and creepy and desolate for me I'm afraid. loved your last one (got a 5!).

Afterthis tension at the beginning I am surprised that you chilled though the whole tune. Very interesting. Tons of details.

I like the low-key intensity of this vs the more typical hot tracks that we hear a lot.  It draws you in - kind of hypnotic.  And I don't mind the incessant kick - perfectly placed.

I would have liked something to happen to make it feel more like an ending, other than that really enjoyable, very chill track!

Your track has so much potential but for me has some major flaws that make it less pleasant to listen to. The biggest of these is your kick which I know I have been guilty of many times is both a bit too bland and too loud in the mix giving me a bit of a headache. It other issue is the monotony of it with no variation to its pattern or another sub bass element to dance with to give the groove. The rest of the sound design and ideas a great.

And Yet We Push Forth (OSC196 Primer 2)

Certain To Fall

This month's one synth effort is brought to your long suffering ears by Audible Genius' Primer 2. Featuring the events of three and a bit minutes in the life of a nicely dressed bee by the name of Johnnie. He's judged by his peers to be 'quite good'. Listen in awe as he leaves the hive, flies round a bit, dodging the birds, and settles on a few flowers before flying off home for a well deserved rest.

This month it fell to Tracktion's Waveform Pro 13 for DAW duties along with ten instances of Primer 2. Layering: I've heard of it... Also featuring the following plugins:

- dpMeter5, Blue Cat Audio Gain3 and KClip Zero on clip to zero as always
- AudioModern Panflow
- Tracktion TReverber8
- NI Raum
- no instances of Valhalla Supermassive
- TDR Nova and Kotelnikov for mastering along with another KClip Zero to keep it all in check

MIDI for one of the arps was recorded from Pitch Innovations Eternal Arps. Patches are a mix of Init based and a few from the rather marvellous random buttons.

Thanks as usual to H0lyGh0st for the image created under the threat of using AI instead...

Good Johnnie Bee

Track I made for KVR's One Synth Challenge (OSC) #196. This is the first OSC challenge I have competed in, and the first track I would say I've "finished". It's crazy dense, and I've never made something like this before, but I hope someone likes it! Dedicated to Berlin and it's amazing EDM culture.

Factory Tour

An very old song. A souvenir bad quality. Recommend headphones.  This is one of my first compositions.

Arheum of Earth prology part two

Arno Gonzalez is producing a modern house sound that sometimes ventures into melodic territory close to Electronica, the Angevin artist was first spotted by the Parisian label Missive, then by Timid Records, on which he released his debut album “Encounters”, as well as a number of EPs and remixes...

Today, he is one of the spearheads and leaders of Brique Rouge, David Duriez's label, with whom he is on a mission to perpetuate and reinvent a certain vision of House and Techno music.

With this second album, which marks “the end of innocence”, Arno explodes the codes of his music to better transcend them. We find his inimitable touch, a particular sound that is sometimes minimal, sometimes warm and melodious, a real signature on 13 tracks that tell a real story.

If this is the end of innocence, it's also the beginning of maturity.




Brique Rouge label is a pillar of the French House underground since 1999.

The label continues to disseminate the electronic sound David Duriez believes in, far from formatting and excessive vulgarity. An eclectic electronic sound that remains rooted in the underground and on vibe above all.  In general, the team's artists benefit from a carte blanche, and it's above all the state of mind that counts. The label isn't looking for success, it's a success. The success of being able to release music without compromise. With one release a week on platforms since 2020, the label (and its divisions RZ Muzik & Obliqu3) is seen as a key player on the French underground electronic scene, given the activism it demonstrates.

Faithful to the spirit of this music's beginnings - Acid House, Chicago and New York House, or the power of Belgian or Detroit Techno - the label has been churning out releases for 25 years without ever sinking into cynicism, nostalgia or parody. Brique Rouge has established itself as a key French label for the distribution of emerging and creative artists (known and unknown) who draw their inspiration from the roots of the genre, but also pursue the search for new vibes. Without commercial imperatives, the label innovates and denies itself nothing. No formatting, no time sacrificed on the altar of the platforms of streaming, with Brique Rouge it's not the face of the human behind the machine that is highlighted, but its music.
