Atmospheric Drum & Bass track with a focus on a clash between warped melancholy chords and heavenly melodies.  This track balances dark and beautiful tones meant to, if only for the short time, relive listeners of anguish in their life.  When this track started coming together it really made me feel something, so I hope to pass that same feeling along to you.

Surrender Your Woes - Bbmin 176bpm

Minimal/IDM track with a focus on a melancholy chord progression and intermingled supporting elements.  The track pushes a mood of introspection but still carries a driven beat like railroad tracks for thought.  I wanted this track to reflect and individual's troubles, but also, more broadly, humanity's as a whole.  I have worked on this one on and off for quite some time and it led to some interesting drawn-out arrangement decisions, but I found when trying to trim it down it lost a bit of the magic that I love about it, so here we are. 

For What Do We Trouble Ourself - Amin 85.5bpm

Lofi House track with a focus on dirty distortion and nostalgic vibes.  This track brings a chill mood with minimal melodic elements driven by a smooth but somewhat chaotic beat.  The track is a rework of a very old project of mine from 2018, and that, coupled with the fact I just got back from a month of traveling where I was admittedly feeling a bit homesick lead to the overall direction and title.

Feels Like Home - Abmin 130bpm

Electronic track with a focus on slow churning build ups and soulful vibes.  This track takes its time to lull listeners into a commanding groove and fills the air with vibrations meant to touch the soul.  I found the parts for this track going through old project files.  Just two 8 bar loops collecting dust, waiting for their moment to be brought to life. 

Livin in a Moment - Dmin 90bpm

Industrial Techno track with a focus on a maniacal lead and an overpowering bassline built to destroy it. This track cold but pushes listeners forward with a hard groove that progresses into chaos. This is yet another rescue project from the back catalog, and when I rediscovered it, I decided it needed to be pushed to my absolute limit. Next week I'll be sure to bring you something fresh from the top of the workflow.

P.S. Might be a stretch calling this Industrial Techno.  I put it in one of those genre detecting websites and that's what it gave me.  Frankly, I'm not sure what to call it.

She's Not the One - Amin 128bpm

A track somewhere between Jungle and Breakcore with a focus on unhinged manipulation of a pad and massive breaks to match. This track is a full send of wall-to-wall sound meant to fill a room with chaotic energy. Since it's been two months since my last DnB track, I wanted to have fun and just throw together a monster. More DnB to come 🙏

Stray Further - Emaj 170bpm
