about

A few tracks I made out on my year abroad in Nantes. All very much house based, and heavily sample based. A few techno influences and an acid sounding track.

Humis starts of with a heavy atmosphere, the energy and tone being pushed along by a hypnotic sample, sucking you into the track until we descend into a euphoric piano breakdown. The vocal samples keep the track funky until we are met by some heavy synth bass stabs, drenched in reverb.

Souvenirs goes down a slightly more melancholic route, an ambient introduction combined with crunchy drums and a gitched acoustic guitar. Until we are met with the bass and the funky nature of the track is revealed.

Shame For You creates a tense atmosphere from the start, with strange vocal samples flitting in and out of the track. It builds up slowly but surely, acid bass pumping away until finally we are met with a cute breakdown only to be sucked back into an almost tech-house second drop.

Intelligent and emotional dance music, written using a different synth, but only that one, on each track. All of the VSTis are available online for free and a fellow renoise user. Takao

Gym007 - Bummse EP
by Max Graef

Fantastic 3 track ep from the hot as shit Max Graef. Particularly enjoying No 5, but the Glenn Astro remix is super duper. Check out GYM001 for some cool tech-house with acoustic instruments. Takao
