It might not have been your original target, but I absolutely LOVE your industrial flavored dance tracks.

That trashy drum is great. Synthetic sounding BG vocals are fantastic. So much texture. I want to roll around in this track. Love how this has a solid dance feel, but brings the grit and texture. Amazing. Can Spooky Season be all year?

That ending vocal is everything.

MOAR PLEASE.

1st off - WOWZA. i know you had some struggles last week and this wasn't quite what you were wanting to make, but sometimes songs are unwieldy & have plans of their own. i personally love where this went and it feels like the perfect next scene building on last week's track. seriously, SO GOOD.

i think i mentioned to you elsewhere, but i've also had some weird hearing issues this past week. particularly with low freqs. feeling more back-to-normal today, and listening to this today vs last night was a much different experience.

the phrase "much was decided before you were born" - in addition to being so evocative - has such a great rhythm to it. i swear i was hearing it yelled in my head after you spoke it and the beat kicked back in. talk about spooky!

i'm excited to listen in on this journey  \m/

Very cool snare, and the eerie atmosphere is great! The synthetic sharply cut distortions are particularly delicious.

I agree, definitely more industrial than mid-tempo, but still very dope... The pads and melodic elements in this track are just so nice though.  Great dark tone, spooky ambiance... like if you pushed this more toward mid-tempo bass musicy vibes, I think a big gnarly reese bass way forward in the mix would pull away from those awesome pads and textural elements.  Sometimes you just gotta follow where the music wants to go... and this one seems to have lead you someplace pretty awesome.

Love the industrial sound to this that gave me some 90s NIN Vibes.  The drums sound so good in this especially on those snare hits.  With the transformer-esque synth lines that cut thru ooof yais!  The pad progression toward the end is spot on with those outro vocals.  Goosebumps on ma neck there Def enjoyin these mid-tempo grooves.

Agree with Tone Matrix. 90's NIN vibes 100%. Spooktactular. Love that change up around 1:30. VERY NIN at 2:25 and on with that rhythm. Outro vocals, icing on the cake. This was killer!!!

MOAR COMING. Three weeks worth at least. And as much as I'd like to do spooky techno all year I probably need to learn to make regular mid-tempo techno cuz I'll admit, the spooky aspects do get a little much when you're listening to it over and over while composing lol. Thank you!

I always want my music/everything to haunt people, mission accomplished lol. Thank you

Thank you!

Reese bass on the M8 is actually a fun challenge - this coming week's track has five of them lol. Thank you as always

I love NIN, gonna try to stop running from that sound lol - it's just so seductive. Thank you

Thank you!!!

Thank you Jenny is amazing. There's something fundamentally spooky and chilling about her work - circles me back to The Box by Orbital (Tilda Swinton's first on-screen appearance, FYI), where the shop window is filled with TVs showing the text MONSTERS EXIST. Scary stuff.

This is sick! the initial groove is so slow and comfy then the heavy industrial really got my head bopping. I don't think i've said before, but I really like the jenny holzer concept. Her art/poetry is really creepy (in a good way) and I think you do really well tapping into that. The spoken poetry is really good too. Nice track!
