Before Frying

The penultimate release! All OPXY. Was struggling to get anything I liked down, decided to take a stab at a certain style of techno that has been pretty popular on Instagram. I was originally trying to write something a little less dark sounding, but when I didn’t like what I wrote my brain rebelled against it entirely and came up with something way way more ominous in tone. No external fx or instruments, just my usual mastering in Logic for iPad.

That bass is really going for it! Love those high pitched tremolo tones, sound like a scream!

this is a warehouse tune if ever there was one. you know the walls are going to rumble. love the ghostly bell tones, and it against that absolute chainsaw is such a nice contrast. fuckin slaps

YEEESS I'M DIGGING THE MICHAEL-MYERS-HALLOWEEN-RAVE-DANCING VIBES HERE!!!!
Super cool, I really like what you've done here. The dark ominous tone is immensely fun and danceable, awesome job!!!

A very well breaded horror theme, a peculiar choice for Christmas, but there's no denying the quality.

My Christmas song was actually last week, though it isn’t much less unsettling!

Carpenter Brut vibes in this one. The Michael Myers association is definitely justified. A good demo of OPXY as well. At first, I found the bass sound a bit simplistic (in the sense that the waveform repeats too predictably), but when more instruments join this isn't a concern anymore, and at 2:00 when it starts shooting those sixteenths? DELICIOUS. Nice work!

I experimented with some modulation and filtering, but in the end with the way i wanted it to absolutely slam the limiter i felt the raw buzz is what worked best. I wish i got it to hit a bit harder, but i love the automatic sidechain it creates and how the sidechain sorta shifts throughout. As the OPZ doesn’t have a “real” sidechain you have to rely on these kinds of tricks (or add them in post).
