Dark Admin – Gallows Shift

A minimal, deadpan tech-house piece built around linear sub-bass, static ticks, cold metallic ambience, and soft glitch-percussion. “Gallows Shift” is pure late-night corporate dread: no mysticism, no drama, no cinematic lift—just the dry sound of someone keeping a failing system alive out of habit.

The spoken vocal stays monotone and restrained, delivered in an airy contralto with whispered doubles and occasional dry laughs. No supersaws, no drops, no pop chorus—just controlled pressure, dark office humor, and a slow exhale through fluorescent light.

This track sits in the fluorescent after-hours zone where VPNs die, tickets multiply, and burnout becomes a running joke. A slow-motion incident disguised as minimal groove. Every bar is another quiet disaster avoided.

Gallows Shift

Dark Admin – What Are You Sinking About? (Radio Script Mix)

A minimal tech-house spoken-word parody built entirely from rhythmic dialogue, dry sub-bass pulses, static ticks, and tiny mechanical percussive fragments. “What Are You Sinking About?” reimagines the classic radio joke as a warehouse-night microgroove: no melodic synths, no pads, no EDM sheen – just surgical transients, micro-glitch dust, and a cold broadcast-like ambience.

The English Captain’s frantic voice contrasts sharply with the deadpan German-accent Coastguard response, forming a tight call-and-response groove. Sparse metallic clicks, digital pops, and tape-warble fragments add texture without disrupting the ultra-dry stereo field. The entire track rides a restrained, minimal pulse with wide pauses between lines for comedic tension.

A club-oriented spoken-word experiment that blends dark humor, radio-noise aesthetics, and minimal tech-house discipline.
