Requiem for a Laptop

By Robroy on July 17, 2016 6:04 pm

Apologies for the final quality on this one. As the title suggests I think it's the last burst from my trusty Mac Air which has seen me through about 5 years, with 4 as my only music making platform (not Push 2 or Launchkey) and with a pair of noise reduction headphones. It's been struggling for a few months now (I know I'm talking about it likes it's a family member, but it's more important than that, it's a band member) but this week it was clipping, crashing and stuttering it's way through the recording. Anyway I think it's managed to go out on a high and this is deep techy house affair, that I couldn't have done when I first picked up this laptop. Thanks for the tunes, old friend.

As ever, a fine beat.  I also really like that reversed string pad and the increasing crunch of the percussion track(s).

Respect, MacBook Air.  Pouring out some electrons for you.

Nice Housejam
