Our entry for the Cymatics Zodiac beat contest; tried to keep it very minimalistic and rather oldschool, with a bit of lo-fi flavor. Most sounds are taken from the Zodiac beta pack, some from other Cymatics packs, and a few beat elements and the Skarbee at the end are added from other plugins. Fingers crossed!

Zengineers - Warm Like Vinyl (ZODIAC Ultimate Beat Contest)

Our track for the Rhythm Source production challenge over on metapop - just some good old days DnB banger. :)

The Sound is the Rhythm and the Rhythm is the Bass

Went on a little nostalgia trip for Native Instrument's 25 years challenge, trying to emulate something that influenced me musically back then. See if you can guess what this is a musical homage to...

Outside of Time and Space

Just uploading this to get around the stupid "track is processing" glitch on metapop, so that my folks in the beat battle group can listen and vote for me (which I'm sure they will all do)... :)

Zengineers - When the Fat Lady Sings (BB19)

My contribution to the great "Subaquatic" challenge set for our Discord Beat Battle group by the fantastic Nu Funk Lab. Cinematic downbeat chill music with an underwater vibe. Hope you like it!

BB67 - Floating And - Or Drowning

BB70 - Faces Of Time Anthem

In case someone prefers the track without the vocals. :)

BB70 - Faces Of Time Anthem Instrumental

Another tune we made for a metapop competition, remix of a hard-hitting track by Total Science, shifted slightly towards the liquid/atmospheric side of things. We think it turned out fine, even though it did not finish "in the money"...

Total Science - Fallen Angel (Zengineers Scientific Method Remix)

This one we just submitted for a producer challenge connected to the Dub Wars group on metapop. Stems from four tunes in the quarter finals were provided, and the challenge was to use at least ten in the track. We ended up including stems from all four tracks, which somehow merged into a Makoto-like liquid track. Production is missing a little polish, but we made this in under two days. Enjoy!
UPDATE: Proud to report that this ended up as the runner-up in the Dub Wars competition! You can check out all winning tracks here: https://metapop.com/pages/promos/dub-wars-quarter-final?p=1

Zengineers - The Lost Art Of Waiting (Dub Wars Competition Entry)

Another entry for a remix competition - based on the deftly produced and quite gloomy "The Unknown" by Creatures. The remix stays close to the original in terms of groove and pacing, but adds a good deal of dark atmospheric weirdness. Think of a spaceship just about to pass the event horizon, and all the alarm lights start flashing red...
