The very intro to this track with its super nice sound put a smile on my face. Cool to have you back. Super nice beat, very groovy, got my head bopping. Love the arps, the glitch, the textures. The transition at 1:28 is really tasty. Cool track!

I hope everything is fine on your side!

Love these sounds, especially the sort of solo at 01:50! It's got a rolling headbopping vibe to it. Happy new year!

Yoo, it's so nice to see you back again for another year! Enjoying your percussion as usual, it sounds so clean and intricate. Good luck this round

Whoah!!! Thank you for such nice comments! It's really great to all of you back again for another year!!!

Sorry for the late answer. I started my week with the somehow expected bad reaction to the last COVID vaccine and it took me a couple of days to be back on my feet. Then it's been fun but also very busy. Lots of stuff to do IRL !!!

Oh yeah, thank you! It's great to see you back again. I see your "Year Of The Tiger" is opening really strong, mate!

merci pour les bonnes critiques, Kedbreak136

Happy New Year to you, mate! It's great to see you back!. I loved the "Music Portfolio" video you posted on your YT channel. Quite stunning work, sincerely. You are in another league!!!

Thank you! It's also nice to see you back. You got me fooled for a second with the name change, but your exquisite epic d'n'b is unique!!!

About the drums, I usually make my own breaks with groups of 2 to 4 or 5 "notes" and then reuse them and trigger as single sounds, so the final programming is simple though the result sounds a little more elaborated. It's specially useful on the hihats

Good luck to you too, and have a nice 2022!!!

Ah, Danke schön, mein Freund. It's great to see you back again!!! The bass was some sort of happy accident in OpenMPT, due to the Macintosh keyboard not having an "insert" key, at least on laptops. Long story short, it created some kind of nice swing and I kept it

Wishing you the best for this 2022...

Thanks! Glad you found it "electro" enough It is a really strong influence for me and I was going for that vibe although my tracks tend to be a little muddier and darker (not in theme but more on lack of high frequencies)

I'd like to aim for crystal clear mixes this year...

It's great to see you back again, Tweaklab! A really nice compliment, the "Amiga 500" vibe... It wasn't chiptune based this time but for me the Amiga scene is still a continuous inspiration

Best wishes for this 2022, mate

Det är fantastiskt att se dig också, ScanianVarg !!! I missed your fantastic chiptune sound

Let's make a crispy and crunchy 2022

Oh, it's a pleasure to see you again, OneZero!!! Another classic is in the room!!!

Indeed, squelchy is the vibe. I'm really surprised I got the sound right. It seems that after all these years, I should not ignore those amplification and overdrive plugins anymore

Oh, man! It is great! You're back too!!! None of the classics missed the call!!!

I'm really looking forward to your superb sound and your crystal clear mixes. You make it look so easy... yet I'm still tweaking to no avail

Thanks a lot, man!!! I'm an addict to Ableton and it's warping/detuning capabilities. Usually start with a pretty monotone loop and try to insert variations every 4/8/16 bars, to keep things interesting.

BTW, Your beat skills are really powerfull, Sir

Thanks a lot, man! You are a true inspiration and one of the Major League players for me. Really glad you checked this one. It's fantastic to have you back, Sodabelly

Oh, Thank you, Cfurrow! It's great to see another of the Classics here! Glad you made it

Just putting some of the old thicks to work and maybe the years start to control my nasty desire to drawn everything in unhealthy amounths of delay...

Whoah... the Man with the Perfect GIF... It is a real pleasure to hear you again, Ipa! I never doubt you'll come for another one

It's great to have you back, Jason!!! The iOS music-making wizard!! (Maybe you could show me the ways of the AUM mixer this year...)

Glad you like it and thanks for the compliment. I really want to improve my "balancing" skills when it comes to glitch, noise and proper restrain (from FX abuse)

Really beautiful GIF, Emily!!! It is great to see you back again for another WB. You really got the vibe!!!

Lots of love for you too!!! I'm looking forward to your fantastic vocal pieces and that ethereal unique atmospheres

Thank you Franky! You made it for another round !!

Looking forward to your dope beats

I've stuck with Reason wchich now can work directly with audio and kind of do such things, but I guess Ableton is much more powerful in that regard.

I've often used the same apporach. I find that It's also often effective to make the variations/fills slightly longer so they bleed into the beginning of the next bar (5/9/17..)

Thank you, Sir!

Vielen dank, Q-Rosh! Glad to see you back too! I love what you're doing reediting your 90's stuff...

"Citronsaft" is a good compliment and a nice name for a track

THE CAT IS BACK!  I just have always envisioned you as that avatar, not a human.

Just found you from the comments and glad i did! Really nice textures all around, especially with the percussion.

Hahaha You made my day with that comment, Drew! Well, although I know you've seen me in Youtube, it's quite a warm thought to be percieved as Copo de Nieve (Snow Flake), one of my beloved cats. I'm sure he'll aprove, though he'd ask for some contract signing first. He wouldn't lend his looks to anyone for free, because he acts like a real celebrity.

I've been trying to catch him posing over a drum machine for years, but to no avail. I'm sure he'll make one hell of a profile picture!

Thanks for listening, as always. BTW your videos this year are f***ing awesome, man :-)

Hi, Danju. I could say the same thing. It's kinda strange when you discover someone who's been a whole WB edition. I discovered your content this year and realise I never heard any of your 2020 tracks, yet we're both into slow hip hop based jams (or so it seems). Now I should be checking your stream, instead of writing this.

Thanks for listening, again. Hope you dig these beats

Sweet beat and really cool harmonics on that main synth.
