That crystalline vocal sample treatment is sick!

Nice seeing you in 2026 still hammering at it. The skittering and hard rests feel great. Can't wait to see what else you do this year.

"My creative muscle has ateophied"
Well, would've fooled me. I like the iteration idea. Already curious to see where this will go!

I like that plan. Usually creativity isn't exactly a "muscle" that can atrophy, but a can of soda that's waiting to burst open, and every time you don't engage, you shake it a little.
That's how we see it anyway.

+1 awesome vocal chopping

the vocals come from a sample pack by iglooghost. I have them set to be gated by the kick drum on top of the slicing/processing I've programmed, so it makes them sound extra syncopated. I hadn't really tried it before and the results turned out really well, I think!

jesus richard d james christ my friend, the chops here are spectacular. I'm a sucker for vocals where it's always hovering around the edges of being a phrase but often comes out as just... things that aren't quite real words.

love when we go to rave town around the 1:30 mark. wasn't surprised to hear you of all people bring the 303, but then rave stabs too! last half is giving like the latter half of prodigy - experience.

super fun. hyped to hear more.

I like the Monthly Beat idea, great way to bend the challenge to serve you.  And, interesting to think of this track as thumbnail sketches... it still feels pretty cohesive to me... like a classical theme and variation piece... but like through an IDMy glitch-hopped lens (I don't genres are hard).  Dope track.

The vocal is such a ear catcher! Perc and bass are superb! Worthy to have it on repeat

This grooves so hard. Love the little pockets of breathing room in that stuttery rhythm.
Sounds like there's nothing wrong with that creative muscle, already flexing it.

There's the signature 303 in the opener for 2026!

It's a very successful pairing with the vocal chops in the section before. It's been a few minutes since the track finished playing and I'm still hearing it in my head. You say your muscle has atrophied, but clearly even at this state you could still lift half of WB with one hand.

Then again, this is no surprise. We have M8. This guy's M303.
