What's with the kick idea, back story? True kick?

Good intro, simple rhythm, it works.

Wobble funky

Move around, can't stay still

“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." - Bruce Lee

Was he thinking about music sampling when he said that? I love that low rubber bass as well, groovy and sexy. Head bopping to this track!

This whole track sounds awesome. The bassline is fantastic. The rhythm is supergroovy. An outstanding track.

Love this, sounds really cool, it has a kind of a rubbery feeling and it really bounces along with the groove. great work with the synth sounds

yoooooooh This is some early-Orbital level genius (my favorite band in the 90s, absolutely smitten with Snivilization at the time). Dude I love this, Imma HYU on Discord for a future remix project.

I'm currently catching up with Raja's music today (I'm going to catch up with yours on another day) BUT I did a search for Raja music I hadn't commented on and you came up because you said RAJA and I HAVEN'T commented on this and

here we are

This is like I'm at a 3 hr Raja concert, there's an intermission, and they are playing a License track while everyone is using the restroom, getting drinks, buying Raja merch. (DANG IT there was a limited edition Raja vinyl and now it's sold out?)

I have to say the mixing on this is impeccable.  The reverb on the lead is perfect.  When those additional percussion elements come in, it's beautiful.  And whatever that like whistle thing is?  It's so good.  Great variety of drum kits.  Nice "guitar feedback" at the end.

Thanks for the intermission!

this is TOTALLY an intermission track. it felt like such a non-sequitur before but now that you say it - that's exactly what it is. that's the point. I also love the idea of it being an intermission for a Raja concert because I love Raja's vibes and he has always been there to support me and I would be thrilled to support him in some fun way like supplying intermission music. also his show totally would run 3 hours. his limited edition vinyl would definitely sell out fast too because it would have some wild no-expense-spared print process with a 12-frame animation or something.

thank you very much for the kind comment on the mixing.

this was a combination of sketches I'd been working on at the time, which isn't unusual at all for me, but to an even greater degree here. for example, the structure of the track itself started on the Analog RYTM (which I'm still not good on at ALL) as a sketch called "benadryl" and a lot of the drums were taken from the Monomachine. in fact, in one section I'm literally playing a random slice off the Monomachine kit every 16th note. what a goof.

the whistle/feedback thing was fun too. I made that earlier in the week, or maybe a week prior, and I couldn't figure out what to do with it, and then I was like, oh, hey, here's my outro

I need to get back into working leftover scraps into my tunes. it's like making soup or fried rice. you just throw whatever you've got into the pot/pan and it's never the same twice
