Love that ride break and (heavy white noise) snare part that comes in 00:45. TB-303 bass (01:55) was a another sound highlight which I liked very much. The main lead is partly very reminiscent to early 90s gangsta hip-hop sound/flavor to me, but having it's very own thing in here entirely. Diggin this! Bless!

The king of breaks. Did you use a midi clarinet in this one? Probably not, but one of those synths really sounds like it. The pitch gliding leading synth is my favorite part. Really catchy, and blendy in not too shrill of a way. Love the visual experimentation with each video.

getting mr mitch type euphoric grime vibes from this, really like it. 2 unused tracks, what a flex wink

As mentioned last night, this one absolutely earned the "come back and listen with proper audio" badge.
The distortion on the bass is delicious.

Super cool, I love how it is so dark but still playful. And yeah, can't get enough of that bass.

"neo-layer-lofi" - genre
retro good
not too fast thank you

Ooof love the drums that come in around :45.  Sinister bass and awesome lead feels throughout.  Well done! \m/

Thank you for the in-depth listen on this, and I'm glad you enjoyed! I had that very idea in mind when I was making that lead originally, but then it just went off in its own direction.

No midi clarinet lol, just FM synth for the leads and bass. Definitely one of my laziest possible videos yet, but I appreciate the comment. Danke

I honestly have no idea who that is and couldn't figure it out from a cursory Google - recommend me something here or on Discord! Also, 2 unused tracks is more like "what a lazy guy" LOL. Thank you for listening!

I don't think I was there when this was played if it was played at weeklymeets when I was away, but I'm happy to hear it was worth coming back to listen to with proper audio! You know I can't avoid a fat bassline in my tracks most of the time wink

Thank you mate! That break at 0:45 is pretty different from anything I've used before (unless I'm crazy), so I am glad you liked it my dude. smile
