Behold, my first collab project that managed to see the light of day! Super excited about this and I’m looking forward to your thoughts ^ ^ Huge shout out to neurokinetik for collabing with me on this project. Not only is he talented, but he was super responsive and I think it’s safe to say that this track would have been another track in the trash pile if it wasn’t for him. Definitely go check him out, his stuff are worth listening to :D

As for the track itself, it’s another Jungle track. However, I was aiming for an old school 90s vibe with it and I think it turned out perfectly! Jungle is such a fascinating and amazing genre in my opinion and I think a lot more people should at least look into it and check it out. If you need any recommendations to get started, let me know and I will hook you up ;)

About the artist: Grew up in WNY. Started out as a DJ making mix tapes for myself and friends during high school, mostly 80's funk and r&b that I'd heard at the local roller rink, using an ordinary CD player and a cheap belt-drive turntable that I modded with a start/stop switch and a pitch control knob. After moving from the roller rink to dance clubs (getting my first exposure to freestyle and house), I went to my first rave in 1993 at the Ontario Science Center in Toronto. It was during this period that I really began binging on various electronic music genres, all started because I was trying to find the track "LFO" by LFO. I also tended to gravitate towards what they were then calling UK hardcore, then jungle, then drum & bass. Made lots of friends along the way, including the guys at WBNY, where I co-hosted DJ Soma's electronic music show, the Space Time Trip, where we would cover the whole spectrum of electronic music (which is a philosophy I also embrace with my production). I also made occasional appearances on the Underground FM show, where the focus was on jungle and drum & bass. I started producing my own music around 1996, using the moniker ComputerBlue, and making songs out of goofy ideas using a PC, a pre-VST version of Cubase, MixMan Studio, Rebirth RB-338 and a Soundblaster AWE32 sound card. Around 1999, I started using the moniker neurokinetik (spelled with a "k" because that's how Richie Hawtin would have done it, lol), because The Matrix really resonated with me at the time, and it is still my all-time favorite movie. I took a long hiatus after 2000, but lockdown gave me an incentive to find a more productive use of my time, and to provide a much-needed creative outlet, so I rebuilt my studio and got back to work, releasing my first new music again in 2022.

About the EP: Around 2013 I was stuck in a rut of liquid and mainstream drum & bass, and it was either Steve or Dan sent me the link to the first Heart Drive mix. Those sets were eye-opening, and my first exposure to the autonomic genre. Even more than 10 years on, they still sound as fresh as the first time I heard them. It wasn't until the end of 2023 that I even attempted to make anything like that. This EP is my second effort in the genre, and throughout the production, I was constantly questioning whether or not I could even pull it off. So, the only thing I was certain of was uncertainty. Thanks go out to Dan, Mark, and Steve for the support and feedback on this.

Acquisition Apathy

01 Acquisition Apathy GMM24001

Dedicated to my best friend of 21 years.  She used to attack the drawstrings on my hoodies, so I would remove them and just use them as cat toys.  She sadly passed on 7/26/2024, before this song was finished.

Strings Detached

Dark and melancholy half time drum & bass with a pulsing, growling bassline over haunting pads.

Ambient Occlusion
