I was watching a Finnish techno/electronic music documentaries (Machine Soul and Kotimaan teknokatsaus 2023), and after that wanted to compose something remotely Orbitalish techno. 90's vibes, maybe a touch of proto trance. Slow, 118 bpm, td-3 acid bulbs recorded with one live take.

Mixed this for hours, and I still hate that renders were pretty much sausage every time. I don't like to mix 4/4 type of tracks because I always want to have full bass, but the I tend to ruin/overdo things and it gets mushed.

But here it is nonetheless. At least the vibe is there me thinks.

I like it! Its kind of orbital inspired but also more its own thing.

Orbital (and og chemical bros) were a gateway into electronic dance music for me, luckily got to see orbital a lot live, and chemical bros once. The orb opened for chemical bros when I saw them, as a side note.

Keep up the good work! Cool ethereal track:)

Really cool track, and it does have a good vibe to it. I'm kind of in the same boat as you regarding the mixing, as in I am having trouble with it as well. I can't specify any issues with this mix, but as I said I am kinda shit at it myself. It sounds good to me.

Do you recommend the documentary? Is there any way for me to access it?

Thanks for the comment! I think that those docs are not avail at the moment. Machine Soul is from 2015, but had a hard time finding it online. I have original Bluray, but don’t have player no more big_smile

Kotimaan Teknokatsaus (Domestic Techno Inspection) is event that has some ~15 year roots, held yearly in Helsinki. XIV event was held last Saturday. You can find some random live sets etc. from Youtube.
