With his last EP offering on Keinemusik, &ME displayed himself once again as supplier of anthems that easily reconcile style with general floor purpose. You would think, such an universal and inexhaustible tune as this very “After Dark” can only be a lucky hit. But no, he’s knocking out the classic material just like that. Another example? Catalog number KM028, his brandnew “Trilogy” EP.
The titletrack on A initially places a synth arpeggio behind a kick that in dryness is hardly to excel. The beat of "Trilogy" is then seasoned with rimshot patterns until the saturated bassdrum comes in and paves the way to the dancefloor. &ME even refines his knack for stoic grooves on this jam and once again shows his sure feeling for suitable vocal features. Sabotas croon comes devoid of big gestures and still knows the ropes to appeal to the collective mentality of a clubcrowd.
On the flipside, “Woods” is living up to its name from the very beginning. Woody percussions are thumping within an almost subtropical scenario that’s frequently pervaded by mighty synth clouds. And once again, there’s an arpeggio sneaking in that at some point is taking the lead in this strictly instrumental affair. Add a break building that will educe a floor’s complete euphoric potential without going for the rather mindless escalation and there you have it: a B-side that’s actually more of an A-competitor.

Dragnfly-Tip_of_the_Flame_DJ_Mix

This set started with a streaming service's rather random results, but it took on a life of its own as other songs i either already knew of seemed to want to be inclued, or i'd hear new ones and immediately know where they could go. it STAYED a playlist for many months until i finally took some recordings into my production environment. The results leapt out the speaker and I remain proud of this work as the first of its kind i'll put up!

The Observations

I always wanted to write music; dramatic, theatrical, over-the-top while still emotionally engaging music. In 2002, with the help of Jeskola Buzz (and a healthy selection of freeware VST's), I began discovering the best way to become able to create the kind of music I wanted: START DOING IT.

Within a year I was making enough material that pleased me, I decided to start making albums. I never wanted to do this professionally, so I restricted my "releases" to my friends. Many of them remain my biggest fans today.

My best work currently exists on three albums: "Learning To Greeble", "overState", and "Trigger Warning Show". If you would like more of my music, contact me --- but most importantly, tell your friends.

Thank you for listening, and I hope you enjoy!
