Starlight Thursdays Episode 200!!we have a very special recoding to share for this milestone. Our resident artist MumbleBee recently released their first ep. We featured them in an album release party and hit record as they preformed their first “all original set” composed from tracks on their ep as well as unreleased music they recently produced. It’s been amazing having MumbleBee join our art collective and we couldn’t be more proud to showcase their talent and art. They have been behind the Dj decks since 2020 and have performed in a multitude of settings, from Missoula pride to Anaconda Pride, Mountain tops and Bars, Rock quarries, Forests down to
Basements like The Senvion where this was recorded. Originally from Kalamazoo Michigan they fell in love with Burner culture and electronic music. After moving to Missoula we quickly adopted them into our art collective, community and family. 
Let’s take a closer look into the deep complexities that are MumbleBee.

How long have you been Producing:
	- in a DAW? Maybe a year and a half. In general? My entire life ;3

Why did you get into it?
I enjoy the manipulation of sounds, and the tactile response feeling of a mixing board. Being the center of attention every now and again is nice too. :p
[Producing] I went into this EP curious about sound - what it is, how it works, what do all the little acronyms mean? - I finished this EP with more questions than answers - and a curiosity that has evolved since into fascination.

What inspires you?
It can be anything -- a color, an emotion, places I visit, people, my friends, etc.
Machines, socialist machines, machine/human cooperation

Please tell us a little bit about this recording? 
This is my EP, Kindergarten, a few months post release, and other works I have completed or partially completed since then.
All of the songs within are made from my hands, filled with the love and encouragement from my family and friends.
Please enjoy :3

Gate of Echoes [Full Mix]

### BEAT CONNECT VOL.9 – EVO Bless: Track-by-Track Analysis

1. One Euro One Dream - EVO REC BLESSES (PT)
   My signature conceptual opener. Warped Portuguese vocal loops and a deeply swinging, smoky groove set a nuanced, introspective tone. It’s the philosophical invitation into the VOL.9 journey, building a foundation of rhythmic introspection.
If you want to make the diference, know more at: https://evo-system.webnode.pt/recrutamento/

2. Lógica - EVO REC BLESSES (Original Mix)
   The premiere: "Logic" in sound. My newest production takes center stage early. It embodies its name with a precise, mathematical groove—tight, interlocking percussion, a hypnotic bassline, and subtle melodic textures that create a compelling, reason-driven soundscape.

3. Need To Give Up (Tough Art Edit) [Mood Edits Vol. 63] (Mood Child)
   A soulful, hip-hop-infused flip. Tough Art reworks a classic acapella into a deep, swinging house tool.

4. DZR · Acid Jungle
   A raw, 303-drenched excursion. As the name promises, squelching acid lines twist and turn over primal, tribal-influenced drum patterns. This track injects a dose of raw, warehouse-ready energy and psychedelic texture into the mix.

5. Évora - EVO REC BLESSES (Original Mix)
   The spiritual eruption, cutting through the acid haze with its soaring flute melodies and powerful tribal percussion.

6. Razão - EVO REC BLESSES (Original Mix)
   The rhythmic anchor: "Reason". Following the high of "Évora," this track grounds the journey with its purposeful, driving drums and hypnotic motifs.

7. FACETO - DON'T FEEL RIGHT (PQF MASTER)
   Bass-heavy, paranoid tech-house. A wobbly, distorted bassline and looped, anxious vocal snippets create a tense, gritty atmosphere.

8. Ruso Eyh · Uamwa
   Hypnotic Afro-tech depth. The track builds on polyrhythmic drum patterns, organic shaker loops, and a deep, pulsing bassline.

9. Agua De Beber - Black Tigre Edit
   A jazzy, bossa-nova refresh. This edit infuses the mix with classic Brazilian elegance. Smooth guitar licks, breezy vocals, and a laid-back yet infectious groove provide a moment of sophisticated, sun-drenched cool-down.

10. doke · Power 74' [CUBE Recordings]
       Driving, sample-heavy house funk. doke delivers a rolling groove built on choppy disco samples, a powerful bassline, and energetic drum work. 

11. Sabrosura Boyz & Gabriel Rojas · ROZE
       Latin-fired percussion explosion. The name "Sabrosura" (tastiness) says it all. Expect fiery conga patterns, brass stabs, and infectious piano riffs over a relentless bass groove, designed to ignite the dancefloor.

12. J Aristi · Gyal
       Dancehall-infused house energy. This track blends a classic dancehall vocal vibe with a modern, chugging house rhythm.

13. Jewel Kid · Oh Lord (Extended Mix)
       Soulful, gospel-tinged release. Uplifting organ chords and a classic house vocal sample soar over a warm, rolling bassline. It offers a moment of celebratory, hands-in-the-air euphoria.

14. Los Canarios, Alex O'Clock, J.V.O. - Sexy Tuna (Original Mix) [Be One Records]
       Playful, quirky tech-house. The title hints at its fun nature. A bouncing bassline, quirky vocal samples, and sharp percussion create a lighthearted yet effective peak-time moment.

15. Alvii Ferrer, Freenzy Music · Escucha Esto
       A commanding tech-house tool. Translating to "Listen to This," the track demands attention with its punchy kicks, rolling bass, and looped Spanish vocal command. It’s functional, driving, and direct.

16. Andy Martinez, Damelo - Legacy (Original Mix)
       Melodic and atmospheric deep-tech. Soaring pads, intricate synth work, and a solid groove create a sense of grandeur and depth. It feels both modern and timeless, living up to its name.

17. Ramon Bedoya · Circle Groove 5 Am (Vocal Mix)
       The deep, hypnotic finale. Perfect for the early hours, this track is built on a circular, mesmerizing groove, ethereal pads, and disembodied vocal whispers.

🎧 The New Of The Tower
Welcome to a new, underground, dark world...

🎭 Musical Style & Artistic Evolution

🚀 Avant-Garde Dance Music Without Borders
The New Of The Tower is an independent, self-taught project that fearlessly pushes the limits of dance music with a unique fusion of genres. Officially described as a mix of dark techno, tech-house, electro, and experimental pop, it also incorporates elements of trap, punk, and even classical music.

In practice, each track oscillates between club anthems and conceptual sonic experiences. For instance, “Velvet Guillotine” (2025) is a hypnotic techno hymn built on heavy percussion and distorted vocals—a true “surreal sonic ritual” under neon lights.

The sound is always matched by a cinematic, underground aesthetic: strobe lights, cyberpunk visuals, and immersive atmospheres define every release.

🌍 Eclectic Influences & Genre Alchemy

The New Of The Tower draws from a wide range of sonic traditions:

🏴‍☠️ Dark techno and industrial groove infused with gothic textures and anarchic punk (e.g., “BRUTAL!!” — a chaotic journey of distortion and rebellion).

🌍 Afro-Tech House meets rock guitars à la AC/DC in “Love Letters” (124–126 BPM).

👺 “Masquerade of Bass” blends melodic techno, dark psytrance, and retro synth-pop.

💃 Spanish-language tracks like “Marionetas” and “Vidas Rotas” fuse flamenco sorrow with trap beats and deep 808s.

🎷 “2:59 AM” evokes Amy Winehouse-inspired jazzy cloud-rap, while “She Danced Through Storms” travels through deep house and jazz fusion with a cinematic touch.

🧊 “Still Echoing” merges melodic trance with nostalgic 80s synth-pop.

🧬 Each track is a bold cross-genre experiment: from industrial club bangers to dark electronic ballads, always rich in texture and emotion.

🎛️ Sonic Palette: Instruments & Effects

🎹 Synths & Melodies
Analog pads & leads (often vocoder-enhanced) create retrofuturistic atmospheres.
Punk-style distorted guitars and 80s synthwave textures bring cinematic depth.

🥁 Percussion & Rhythms
Hard techno kicks, metallic hi-hats, tribal drums, and trap-style 808s.
Layered acoustic and electronic elements make for dynamic and precise beats.

🌀 FX & Processing
Rich in glitchy clips, VHS noise, deep delays, and reverb-soaked vocals.

Examples: “Love Letters” is drenched in lo-fi and VHS textures; “4 Malos Polvos” features glitchy ambient layers and emotional auto-tune.

🎨 Each sound is carefully crafted to contribute to a vivid, cinematic soundscape.

🎤 Vocal Treatments: A Sonic Chameleon

Vocals range from:
🎙️ Melodic singing (English & Spanish)
🔥 Punk shouting & spoken rap
🤖 Vocoded retro textures (“Still Echoing”)
💔 Melancholic auto-tuned lines (“4 Malos Polvos”)
💣 Confessional, emotionally intense deliveries
🗣️ The voice becomes another instrument of emotion, soaked in effects like reverb, delay, filters—ranging from ghostly whispers to ecstatic screams.

🌑 Emotional Climate & Storytelling

The overall emotional tone is dark, introspective, and visceral.

Themes revolve around:
💘 Passion, heartbreak, rebellion
🧠 Subconscious states & urban alienation
🕯️ Ritualistic, trance-like experiences (e.g., “Velvet Guillotine”)
🌆 Social suffering (“Marionetas”, “Vidas Rotas”)
😈 Raw eroticism & shame (“4 Malos Polvos”: “each drop is a stab disguised as a caress”)
🎞️ Romantic melancholy in cinematic settings (“2:59 AM”, “She Danced Through Storms”)
🎬 Each track unfolds like an emotional chapter, offering catharsis, vulnerability, and mystery.

📽️ Conceptual Artistry & Vision

The New Of The Tower is not just music—it's an immersive audiovisual concept.

💀 Explores themes of dystopia, poverty, guilt, rebellion
🏙️ Brutalist club visuals, cyberpunk aesthetics
🕯️ Emotional depth with non-commercial intent
🎭 “4 Malos Polvos” = a “dark confession for love sinners,” cinematic and raw
🌀 Each release = a journey through shadow and rhythm
🕺💀 Dance meets darkness—a kind of electronic film noir where each beat tells a deeper truth.

📈 Style Evolution: From EDM to Darkness

🟢 2019–2022: EDM & electro-pop beginnings (Feel EP, “You And Me” — catchy and bright)

🟡 2024: Transition into melodic techno (“Not Living Without You”)

🔴 2025–Present: Shift to dark techno, darkwave, flamenco-trap, and experimental storytelling (“Velvet Guillotine”, “Marionetas”)

🎭 From mainstream dance-pop to raw, conceptual electronic music—always evolving, always fearless.

🎼 Comparable Artists & Influences

🧩 The New Of The Tower resonates with:

🧨 Brutalismus 3000 (techno-punk dystopia)
👾 Perturbator (dark synthwave)
🌘 Mind Against / Recondite (melodic techno & melancholia)
🎤 Boy Harsher, Massive Attack (dark vocals, trip-hop moods)
🔥 Anyma (techno emotion), Latin trap/fusion for its flamenco-trap leanings
🌌 But ultimately, it defines its own world—one built from dark techno, darkwave, nu-jazz, and trap-rock fusion.
