Club Control

Watch me take control.

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.

Fractal / Cubism

On the edge of chaos.

Karl D

As the name “Fractal” implies; a complex, multipartite piece which weaves in a few different directions. Cerebral, minimal acid techno.

“Cubism” is a techy track which starts with subtle space and peaks with a big acidic bassline. Minimal, yet big on the buildup.

Beats by the pound.

The “random beats” series (the namesake of this site) was a collection of Karl D productions which were intended to be a more stripped-down standard of music production than full length albums and single releases. This series spanned 61 tracks across 5 volumes, at 2 hours, 30 minutes of music. Although the domain name preceded the series, it provided the inspiration for the nameless tracks, focusing on the music itself.

pseudorandom is a curated collection of the series, focusing on 14 standout productions (according to yours truly). The release of this compilation offers these tracks in the highest quality ever available.
