Happy new year!! Here's a track.

It's very low-end focused and I suck at mastering, so headphones are recommended.

100% EP-133, recorded onto 1010Music Bluebox (with slight cut below 40hz.)

Very nice chill experience on headphones! Lovely earcandy percussion, the bass really envelops everything. You kept it minimal but still engaging.

yeah this is great heart

cool creepy feeling

yo dude great work! Love the space you gave everything, quite atmospheric.

being in a dark room with headphones on. perfect soundtrack, nice one!

*checks title* Had a few too many meetings with smiling gladhands? The creeping bassline somehow ends up being the most serene thing while clipped noisy hats and motor-mouth claves chatter away. It's tense, it's groovy, it's great

ha ha, not sure if that is an earnest joke, but "teenage engineering" is the company that makes the device that SDS made the track on smile

I had an EP-133 and could never make a beauty like this with it, so I sold it. LOL. Nice work. I love the "microdrums", for lack of a better term.

oh lol big_smile I thought it was in reference to "I suck at mastering" 😅

Happy new year, this is definitely a track.

Very nice percussive hooks against that chordal anchor. I also like the variations in the last section. Very cool!

Love this! Restrained but persistent. The range of textures is very satisfying.
