Description: alright time for some more fun, I dunno if this sounds any good cause I can't tell anymore lol

This is a varied collection of pretty energetic house and tech house tracks. Most tracks recorded to either reel-to-reel or cassette with a variety of synths and drum machines.

Collected Trax Vol. 1

Hit The Ground Running

Another little ambient chill track. Slowing tape down is fun.

Equipment Used:
HEK Modular - Synths
Korg Volca Beats - Drums

Tascam 424 mk1 - Multitracking

Subclass

Alley

Testing out my new REAPER set up with the studio, got everything hooked up again for doing piano-rolly stuff again.

Of course I got distracted instead and made a short little simple house track with the Poly61. Chord memory is a powerful drug.

Poly61 on chords, 909 cassette samples on drums, Boog on bass.

Distractions

who cares if you die, who cares? i care if you live, i care.

A cover of the most iconic arcade system from the 90s, the Neo Geo.

Neo Geo Boot

Got my hands on the Artiuria MicroFreak a few weeks ago.  This is the first track I've put out so far.  A return to my breakbeat roots.

Wanted to make something at the very least tonight, lots of fun!

Luminosity

Oooooh, this one turned out pretty smooth. Quite enjoying the Hypnosis so far, sounding as good as it looks! I've got quite a smoooooth video coming too for this track.

Manther is on bass duties, and also gate/CV's rings in 2-op FM mode. Clock from Manther slaves both Marbles/o_C-Sequins and the Rytm. Sequins sequences Plaits for chord root and chord structure, as well as providing gate to Lil Erebus for the filter envelope. Plaits' ODD output goes through Lil Erebus for the filter, then through the Blue Lantern Stereo Delay for some widening. Then there's a little Clouds muckin around and ba-bam! You got some weirdness.

Oh and of course, Rytm does drums as well as a little synthy line. Pretty good stuff!

Funky

I was listening to one of my favorite tracks and realized that I could super easily make a little track out of maybe a sample of it. Bonus points for anyone that can ID the track :D

Anyways, this is Manther on 101-esque bass, Rytm on drums and samples, and Microfreak and Plaits on aux arps and weirdness. Those two go through the Hypnosis and the DBX 900 for sidechained compression, while the Manther goes through the GS-30 again.

This is the digital take, as the damn 246 is doing a dumb again!!! I think I need to clean the heads, apparently I record too much haha.

I'm back bitches!

I post a lot of music here, sometimes slightly under-done stuff. Check back every now and then if you like a track, cause there's a good chance that a day after I put it up I will have already replaced the original file lol.
