Introduction

Been listening to some much harder techno recently, and I just got a bug to make something faster and with more bite. It's a busy track with a lot of variety (some afro-house and tech-house grooves mixed in with edgy techy stabby beats). I really had a blast making this. It can use a bit more work, but this may be my first track that really felt like it was a very personal style.

Detener

Another jumpy, simple track with a straight-forward, forward-leaning groove. Working on full-track integration and consistency. Lots of single note rhythms and limited instruments. 

Enticed

Wanted to SLOW DOWN and make longer and more hypnotic loops. I wanted to remove some focus on the arrangement and instead just zero in on the groove I was seeking.  This makes me smile.

And Down

This was a hard track to make, only because I was in a very odd mood for most of its creation. I have so much going on right now, on most levels, and making music is the best anti-anxiety medicine out there. But it required a lot of breaking through…

Maybe It Can't Be Done
