Strömmingsbådan

By skkmkk on May 23, 2026 10:03 pm

8 bar loop from OG Polyend Tracker, dated late 2021. Sampled some built-in fm radio. It happened to be a sea forecast, and forecast reader was telling some wind numbers and sea levels and visibility(?) of Strömmingsbådan.

Little did I know - was sure I won't come back to this loop. Weeklybeats was asking for it, so I did. The chorus is the only part that I had to come up with something new. Waldorf Microwave plugin delivered.

Mixed and stiched with Reaper, the ultimate GREY Swiss army knife. On the mix side of things: I noticed that the kick drums were out of tune back in original loop, and I tried to use ReaPitch, but it sounded even more alward, so I let it be. Secondly; not really sure if hihats are too loud. Didn’t have amy good reference when mixing (didn’t have time).

130.1 bpm og electro. Like it or don't. It's electronic punk.

I like the "stutters", cool synths sounds.

Fun track, revisiting old stuff can be good. smile
