This one is a bit of a journey, starts out plenty weird, ends up in goofball territory but quite solid. I keep getting an M83 feel when I listen to it, but no M83 song I can find lol.

Sampled the Subharmonicon for this one (through my modular) - I love the Subharmonicon, but it has the persistent ability to dominate just about any musical composition of which it's a part, even when it's sampled and mangled and messed with. I'm sure this is in part due to that massive, dense, saturated Moog waveform, but I suppose it's the nature of the Subharmonicon itself essentially being a big chord machine with six oscillators.

It was fun to use here though - the patch it's currently feeding on the modular has a really grungy, improvised post-rock feel. Mangling samples of that into upbeat techno was a trip.

Maybe gonna get my Norand Mono in the mix next week.

Really like the feel of this. Those patches are thick smile .

Fun ride.

Sounds more Trentemøller than M83 to me. Good stuff regardless! The acid line reminds me of early 2000s racing games.

I like the Subharmonicon as well, and you're right that it can be dominating, but I wouldn't say it is in this track. You keep the chord changes slow so it integrates with the rest very nicely. And it flows and flows, the second part of the track delivers!

The sounds on this are perfect, and I'm definitely feeling the post-rock vibes in the second half. Almost like one of those spacey Mogwai epics merged with some techno - cool stuff!

Really like the groove and the pulsing feeling. There's lots of effective filtering(?) that changes how the different elements sound at different parts, which just makes everything feel so organic and dynamic. I especially dig the parts where the higher synth comes in like 1:30 and 4:35.

The acid arp is really nice!

I like this, the synth sounds are really amazing, warm sounding but very defined, great mix

Very nice!

Awesome track.  Very fun vibe.

Great work with the Subharmonicon!  Almost doesn't sound like one as I find it's usually a very characteristic sound which can be hard to escape from.  Sampling it is probably a good idea!

love this, well balanced and nice to wrap around oneself on a winter day. favorited!
