nice swap of the melody to a different voice

great tension building throughout and the drums as always are 🔥🔥🔥

Nice little pops on the sides.  Overall the usual great production we've come expect.

The arrangement really worked to keep interest throughout. Very nicely done.

All the tracks were made using just one synth(chosen for that OSC round) for all the sounds, including percussion and drums.

Superheroes

Superheroes (OSC 191 Zebralette 2)

Belief is about the contrast between going through the motions and truly feeling something. The first part is a bit groovy — like doing what we do, following the rhythm of life. The second part slows down, opens up—letting go, expressing, believing in something deeper. 

No overthinking, just letting it be.

The Awakening is a playful musical journey through the battle within—an exploration of self-doubt, fear, and the struggle to break free. It captures the voice inside that holds us back, the moments of uncertainty, and the eventual realization that the only true enemy is ourselves.

Narrative:
---------------------------------------------------
Krit was a small boy, often feeling like he didn’t quite fit in.
Despite his achievements, there was always a quiet voice telling him, 
"You don’t belong". 
He told himself it was normal, part of growing up. But it never went away. 
Then one night, he had a dream.

🌅 Act 1: The Dream
He ran through wide, golden fields, feeling light and free. For the first time in a long time, he didn’t have to think, everything just felt right.

🌑 Act 2: The Nightmare
Suddenly, the world grew still. The fields shrank, and a shadow appeared in front of him.
"You don’t belong."
The air thickened. He couldn’t move, and the doubt that always lingered felt overwhelming.
"You are nothing."

⚔️ Act 3: The Ascent
A shift. Krit started to move. Slowly at first, then faster. The shadow loomed, but he kept going. The doubt didn’t disappear, but it no longer held him back.

🌟 Act 4: The Awakening
He pushed forward, the weight lifting with each step. The shadow faded, and with it, the doubt.
Krit didn’t stop. He had awakened, and nothing would hold him back again.
---------------------------------------------------
I would like to thank Taron and The Sound Of Merlin for their valuable feedback and guidance in refining certain aspects of this song, truly grateful!

Calling the Monolith

Call the Monolith (OSC 194 Monolit)

Afrosteria proudly presents “Ubuntu”, the latest release by Kankou, an artist with roots in Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast, born and raised in Italy. With this track, Kankou channels his heritage into a powerful and immersive journey into the deeper side of Afro Tech.

“Ubuntu” is a percussion-driven production, layered over a dark, trance-tinged bassline and driving synths that build a hypnotic atmosphere from start to finish. A piano-led progression adds emotion and movement, guiding listeners through a soundscape that is both soulful and intense.

Rooted in the African philosophy of Ubuntu: “I am because we are”, the track celebrates community, unity, and the spiritual power of rhythm. Balancing ancestral depth and modern electronic energy, “Ubuntu” is designed for those late-night moments where Afro House merges seamlessly with darker, techno-tinged sounds.

KANKOU (IT) - UBUNTU



Comfort Zone moves between stillness and motion, between what grounds us and what unsettles us. It’s an album about balance — about knowing when to rest and when to move, when to hold on and when to let go.

The comfort zone is not one thing. It’s the familiar rhythm of everyday life — the way things have always been, where everything feels known, effortless, and undisturbed. Yet it’s also the quiet safety we build to keep from being overwhelmed.
A soft line separates what we know from what we might become. Comfort is a circle: inside, everything moves slowly, gently repeating itself. To step beyond it can feel like a quiet breaking, a necessary loss.
Outside lies uncertainty, where control gives way to growth. It’s uncomfortable, sometimes chaotic, but essential. Old patterns dissolve and new ways of being begin to take shape.

Musically, Comfort Zone drifts through harmonic warmth and gentle energy: floating grooves, soft pulses, and melodies that breathe. Each track moves with intention, but t’s a sound that invites rather than insists. Grounded yet weightless, warm yet searching.

Electronic Music Compilation curated by Roel Funcken - 71 tracks (released in 2 parts) chosen from 250 pieces generously donated by musicians around the globe.
This project (comprised of electronic music and accompanying photography) is an international collective effort to generate funds for the rescue, preservation and safe sanctuary of koalas and other vulnerable wildlife affected by the unprecedented catastrophic fires of the Australian Black Summer (September 2019 - February 2020) resulting in a massive loss of habitable forests.
Koalas need homes, just like all of us. Currently they are refugees in their own land, so we are raising funds to acquire habitat which will be protected in perpetuity and will continue to support a huge number of indigenous species. This is the start of a program that will provide safe habitat and a future for endangered animals in Australian states of New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria.
By creating these compilations we have had an opportunity to use our voice for the voiceless, those who cannot speak for themselves, and we unite to support endangered species and animal rights.
Thank you to all involved in creating and supporting this project and to everyone purchasing the compilations, together we are making a difference.
All of the music and art was donated to this project. 100% of profit from both releases will be donated to a charity: Australians for Animals for Koala Habitat Fund NSW (Land Habitat Acquisition Project).
