Moderat's Milk (The Lonely Edit)

This track started as a beautiful short piano solo from Tom Hodge. I wanted to keep the focus firmly on the piano and just introduce some subtle electronic elements, while looping Tom's short sections to give a full arrangement.

The percussive clicks came from a visit to Manchester when I played at WHP. The day after a friend was kind enough to offer us free tickets to see Manchester United play Fulham in the FA cup, so I brought my binaural mics along to capture the sound of the huge crowd. I'm not quite ready to introduce huge crowd cheering noises into my tracks (maybe the EDM career can begin next year), but I found that even when the sound of the crowd was cut down to little fragments using Monolake's Granulator, they still had a nice quality. So the percussion on this track are made from the sound of Old Trafford, and there are some points in the track (right at the end for example) where I open the release a little and you can here some crowd coming through.

Nils Frahm - You (Teen Daze Rework)

I've been working on some new music with Tom Hodge, combining piano and electronic elements - the first track preview is below, with the full release coming 20th April.

For this track we made the drums from clanging around inside a broken piano, and then applying some complex editing, so they have an interesting partially live feel, even though rhythmically they are very electronic.

The piano came from a live jam over an initial chord structure, then lots of editing to find that one simple little hook in there. It felt like a reflective piece of music to me, invoking memories, so we chose "remnants". Nick Cobby has taken the concept further with an amazing music video, coming soon!

KAROSHI ep | out April 3rd via @infine-music

stream/buy full release: https://idol.lnk.to/Karoshi

"Breeze" is undoubtedly the most solar contribution of Frieder Nagel´s Karoshi EP. A constantly evolving and growing rollercoaster ride with euphoric piano loops, sirens re-calling Blade-Runners famous opening titles from Vangelis, up-lifting live-drumming, almost symphonical drones, which evolve alongside carefully recorded woodwinds, dreamy vocal samples and a wellfed baseline underneath.

Breeze (Luftzug version)

Main synth part made using prophet 8 into selection of pedals.

Odyssey - Main Synth

Main synth made using the prophet8 for Recovery.

Recovery - Main Synth

Main synth part for Untravel, creating with the prophet 8, this is a synth part that I am most proud of, because it has so much subtle in it, yet it is over edited at all, this was made very quickly and intuitively.
