Inventive as always.  I'm looking forward to seeing what's happening in the videos by the end of the year!  May I suggest shorts and a t-shirt for your next jogging video.  smile

Creating art and getting your exercise in at the same time.  Love it!  Awesome track, too.  Great energy to it.  Wish I could come to a live show, but alas it's much too long of a drive for me.  I was in Madison, WI for a wedding last August, but that's probably the closest I'll be to your neck of the woods for a while.  Good luck, though!  Hope it goes well!

great work on both vid and track, epic-uplifting vibe here, and congrats on the gig!

(1) I need to workout some; (2) trying really hard not to buy Model:Cycles, will report next week if I succeed; (3) Do you always treadmill in a Thriller jacket? (4) Oh man that arp is joy, just joy; (5) My bad for sleeping on subscribing to your YT, +1 to you; (6) coincidentally, about a year-and-a-half ago I wanted to make an EP called ... PACES, I still have demos from that that I may or may not dust off for WB; (7) heart

Damn you live dangerously on that treadmill.

Nice job! When you really start getting into it, I started thinking of this OK Go video:

. I liked the downward pitch shift around 4:55. A delightful surprise.

This is a great groove! I love it! Also, your Xray show is right before my birthday!

Dear Diary:

"Today on WeeklyBeats, I found my new favorite workout track.
Now I just need to work out." tongue

Catchy stuff this week!

So this is how you train for live shows! That sounds wise, replicating the high intensity/cardio aspect of a live show with the controls. Maybe you could consider drinking one liter of coffee for the adrenaline, have a stroboscope in your eyes and pour drinks into your equipment at random. That song and the video were a blast. Nice coordination of you and Frank, down to the rainbow bracelet! The high leads from 2:28 onward (on the music track, not the video) are really nice. Also bonus points for the multiple intros! smile

Damn dude!! You have so much energy; amazing vid and track!

love this, the vid and the track!

Great song to work out to

funky layering throughout!  got a livejam/livelooping vibe to this one.

Keep up the good work but really looking forward to the write a song with Orangedrink Livestream and its just use watching you write a song big_smile

My health condition is a wreck compared to your performance in the video. I should do something about it. Thanks for the reminder.

actually, I do try to practice running around and then adjusting dials!  LOL on your considerations…….I will consider them.  The double maroon was an accident!  The rainbow bracelets were on purpose!  thank you so much and glad you liked the intros

Your videos make me smile always. So creative ideas, I have not seen before! Good luck to your live performance!

"RDOMAIN WANTS MORE SKIN: GOT IT!  smile"

Haha.... Orangedrink gets banned from Youtube in December after running out of moral video ideas.  lol

That would be awesome!

All I can say is this is just insanely good. Just perfect. I am curious where you get the CS80 sounds from?

Awesome, I love how stylistically diverse your style has been so far this year, its definitely keeping things interesting.  Big fan of the energy on this track, great workout music.  Also, I love that high sequence that comes in later in the song and the detuning that you do to change it up. Very cool.

Solid beats and fun pitch bendy arp effects! This should be the set up for the live shows. And all gyms.

Nice- really awesome at 2:29 (in wb player track) video is sweet too!

Nice groove, an excellent workout song. I feel like I don't need to workout today now. Props for working the cycles while on the treadmill = mad skills! I liked your intro, mad me smile. The Frank bike cam was dope. Congrats on the gigs! I may be in Madison area in the summer, may will see you if you have more gigs in the area!

Love the chord sound+progression combo and the square-wave sounding bass. Wonky pitch-detune breakdown = nice..

Ahah that control all pitch dip, nearly didn't make it for the pattern reload!

Great combination of the M:C sounds with everything else. You even managed to make the snare engine sound good!

hey drew - so fun you are doing shows again!  & congratulations on the 200+
these are friends
i have a feeling you have played with some of my MKE friends - did i see a poster with "glacial speed" on your wall?

i know these kids from playing with "the rutabega" at prf events

this is happening this weekend if you feel like connecting - lots of MKE bands - would be so cool to play with you at a PRF event!!!

Thanks buddy!  Always trying to be xtra diverse - probably my main goal smile  I thought the track lended itself to getting moving so that's what got the video idea going

ha ha ha, the million dollar budget will have them rolling out a treadmill to perform this track, as well as 80s styled treadmill backup dancers

I feel so awkward during the intros, so i'm glad for the feedback smile  and thanks for the frank bike cam note!  another friend said it was motion sickness inducing, woops, but i'm glad it was fun.  would be INCREDIBLE to meet you IRL one day!  Frank and I used to go to Madison all the time for Badgers games, hopefully one of these days....(ps watching this video counts as a workout)

that Ladies Rock MKE is such a neato project!  Ashley is so great!

I like every instrument and every part of that song. Faved and saved

such a fun track, love that lead synth that comes in midway and the bass has such a nice warm feel, weekly workout beats, I like it!

Vielen danke!  I glad you felt like it all came together.  it's tricky when including loops.

thanks!  it kinda felt like a get-up-and-move thing so I did!

I can't even use my push 1 sitting down properly!  It's actually my cpu keyboard stand atm lol.  *sad horn*  This was awesome to watch and damn that model:cycles always sounds so good.  The way the snares hit is great.  Maybe it was the treadmill but this track def has a "lets go places!" feel to it. Awesome work man and congrats on getting the shows!
