What did you use to make the drums?
I love the noisy gated reverb. Something autechre-like in that. Focusing on a single element is definitely useful for sound design, and here I thought it wouldn't work for a track over 5 minutes... too boring, right? But actually listening through, by minute 4 the groove is so familiar that the track becomes somewhat trance-inducing, and I could see it go on for a long long time.
More importantly, with drums solo, I smell a collab opportunity! I already did one piece like that, let's see what happens this week!
Punchy punching. I had to turn my volume down lol. I think I scared the pets. This is a lot of fun indulgence though, Kinda makes me wanna get low low and do swanky dance.
This sounds like Model Cycles bizness to me.
It is kinda trance inducing, I listened all the way, deeep. something scared me about 4:50 ish

awesome! I love Autechre and I find it hard to not subconsciously try to sound like them LOL. glad it did something for you.
if you didn't do it already, please feel free to sample! I part of the reason I choose that license for these tracks is I get a kick out of hearing when people find a new home for sounds from my sparse tunes 
super stoked to hear if you cooked something up with it!

there's some scary shit going on. that kick took me places I wasn't expecting. felt like a UFO hovering silently over the Taco Bell on 3rd, ready to tractor beam up a Honda full of Nacho Supremes into a docking bay full of catwalks rinsed in blue light.
The work and sound on those drums is extraordinarily fat. Congratulations.
That taco bell UFO image is spot on. I haven't been using the cycles, much juice. I thought about selling probably shouldn't
