* EXTRA SHOUTS TO LITTLESCALE AND THE WHOLE WB BUNCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO UPLOAD THIS ONE ON MONDAY!!!
I'm hoping everybody in this Weeklybeats world family stays safe and healthy. Anytime. Anywhere. 
This one's clearly quite underdeveloped. Lack of time, lack of sleep and too much work, so not much spare moments to be creative. I'm struggling lately with the ups and downs of the real world, but anyway... Here it is:
I was going for a lofi/cassette sound because I wanted to try a recently fixed "Handi-Cassette" I got in a thrift shop. Thing is, like most of my generation, we tend to forget how crappy a bad recorded could be. This one's "line in" is noisy as hell, full of cracks, pops and ground loops. Too much noise and too little time to try again.
I build the beats out of the basic "volca-like" drum hits of the Korg DS-10 software on the Nintendo DS. The original synths were brassy, clear and lovely, and I thought I could give them "a touch of tape" but ended saturated and blurry, though by the time I had the whole beat built so pitched down everything. Lots of reverb, lots of delay, too much noise.
The title is not about infectious medical material, simply there were some damaged industrial containers send to be processed at work and it was raining ... Guess it sounds like a "scrapyard beat"
I'll do my best to catch up with the listening and answering all your kind comments. It's really appreciated, for sure.
Be safe and stay positive. Lots of love to everybody around the planet
