Heal Through Joy
An atypical but fond venture into some happy hardcore favorites.
Club Control
Watch me take 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 totally spaced out in the middle. The bassline thumps through the whole way, leading some more atmospheric elements of the track 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
A golden metropolis filled with mystical marvels.
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.

Endless Winter
Warm, cozy house.
Endless Winter is an EP focused on minimal house. Light rave-inspired touches give unique contrast to chilly, deep-house beats. There’s a warmth here, where you can take comfort.
Typhoon
The center of the storm.
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.

The Endless Summer
Permanent vacation.
November may be pretty late for an album called The Endless Summer to be released, but it depends on your perspective.
The Endless Summer is a (tropical) departure from most of my work, all the tracks come in at 110 bpm, and bring some heavy island inspiration.
Thrillride
A tech-trance rollercoaster with enough acid to burn up the dancefloor.
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
A premier grade re-release of two classics.
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
The electronic/hip-hop mashup returns with an East Coast style.
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
Seriously uplifting euphoric hard dance.
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.
