Club Control - Multi-Store Link

Club Control is a bold new statement.

The title track leads with some assertive attitude, a shot of heavy tech-house that gets spaced-out in the middle. The bassline thumps through the whole way, leading some more atmospheric elements that keep the vibe going until the end.

This took a lot of time to develop right. While this stands well on it’s own, I needed a second half to this single.

The B-side then became the “Dream and Bass” remix.
This remix takes the original and flips it on its head. The dramatic turn is something like a misremembered, intense view of the original - just like a fleeting dream, and just as vivid in the moment. There’s something very different here, but it’s profound.

El Dorado / Default Mode Network - Multi-Store Link

A psytrance epic about a year in the making. El Dorado takes some latin influence for a little different take on trance. This is a high-energy track which goes in a lot of vivid directions.

Typhoon - Multi-Store Link

Originally released 10 years ago, “Typhoon” was essentially a standalone release. This was always a favorite due to the “fast but slow” nature of this track.

I always saw this as an “imperfect” track, in part due to the unique soundset from the Kaossilator Pro. The loops were recorded and then were sequenced with Ableton. This was an interesting constraint due to an implicit amount of imprecision with recording, which took a few takes.

Like many of my other favorites, the constraints give the track a lot of life, and imperfections are what makes it memorable. “Typhoon” is a track well-deserving of this re-release, just in time for hurricane season.

Thrillride - Multi-Store Link

Picking up on the hard-dance tip from where Speaking in Tongues left off, “Thrillride” is a hard trance oriented track but with a lot of techno influence and a hefty amount of dirt.

Evening / Things You'll Need to Know - Multi-Store Link

Evening / Things You’ll Need to Know revisits in extended single form, two of my favorite tracks from Existential Funk. Within this release are some new remixes along some older ones; undoubtedly the stars of the show are the “Modern” mix of “Evening” and the so-called “Deeper” mix of “Things”.

Metaphysics II - Multi-Store Link

Metaphysics II is an EP of instrumental hip-hop. It followed up the original Metaphysics EP which came out in 2016.

Like the original EP, the tracks in Metaphysics II explore the lines between hip-hop and electronica.

Bring Me Joy - Multi-Store Link

Although this turned out practically happy-hardcore adjacent, it started with a (maybe surprisingly?) much darker vibe – I think it turned out the right way, reflecting in the melody what the words were saying.

The new single is accompanied with “The Exchange (Hard House Mix)“, a ravey hard house remix of a favorite from Existential Funk.

Dawn of the Dread - Multi-Store Link

The original “Dawn of the Dread” came out in 2015, but was re-released in this single in 2021.

I wanted to have the remix in time for a Halloween 2020 release (which would have put it at about 5 years to the day after the original), but it just didn’t happen. After getting a little more time to bake, the remix gave this slow-roller breakbeat track some “oomph” with a proper drum & bass remix.
