Geniet, maar drink met M8

By 4ntler on February 8, 2026 8:40 pm

Put on your costume and join in the festivities of Carnaval!

Every year in the south of the Netherlands, people dress up in all sorts of costumes and celebrate Carnaval. They drink (lots) and dance to this very idiomatic variety of polka music. It kinda resembles Germany's Oktoberfest, but not fully.

I've been thinking of writing a Carnaval's tune for a couple of years. I also found the idea of getting an M8, but then loading it up with oversaturated brass samples immensely funny, so...here we are!

Got sick during the week though, so I couldn't spend as much time on this as I wanted to.

Still, hope you enjoy! If you're ever in the Netherlands in February, do join the party!

Laten we feesten!

Such a fun tune, love the slidey brass notes.  *slams beer stein down*

Instant smile on my face listening to this, so fun, would love to enjoy the festivities one day.

Slidey trombones are the best, although I'm partial to the farty tuba in this one. Cheers!

Who needs moderation, drink with might.

What a fun festival tune! big_smile

Great fun tune, great samples and accordion samples work so well. The oompah bass and drums are great too. Great track!

Thanks! I spent quite some time on massaging the samples actually, and the M8 isn't that great for legato brass, so I'm happy it turned out that way

This is awesome! I would not have guessed in a millions years it was made on an M8 lol. Like wat.
