    This is one of the best albums ever produced when it comes to “IDM”
    Giving it a run this evening to find inspiration for another Grown Out Of Minimal album 🙂

    Started working on this one over the weekend, recycling a dub sample from an old track that was consigned to the scrap heap. Bit tougher than some recent ones from me, but still at a respectable bpm. Kinda pleased with how its coming along, but let me know if anything stands…Read More

    • Only problem in that mix is the bass is too loud in the low mids. And there is no need for that loud of a top on it, I know its a huge part of the track. But they can come down a little since the rest of the mix is rather crowded in the low mids, but in a really good way. Your low mids/mids are really great mixed. So the bass feels a bit…Read More

      • Thanks Piv. Will take a look at that – I’d added some saturation to the bass to bring it to the fore, so probably overdid it in that area. Still want to do a fresh mix pass and not 100% sold on the clap / snare layer, but hopefully its heading in the right direction.

    • Nice little vocal effect around :35
      Agree the bass might be overwhelming the track a little but over all this is sounding great.
      This progresses nicely over the track, I really like it.
      The vocal in the drop with the acid 303 is slick
      I’d say this only needs minor tweaks, I know you mentioned the snare/clap. I think this suits the track myself…Read More

    • Agree with Piv on the low mids. I’ve been saturating bass for a whole to fill out that range, and found that using the same synth duplicated one octave higher does a better job. Vocal sounds a bit like Horace Andy, nice. I think a bit of call/response with the synths could help here to provide a bit more breathing room in the mix.

      • Cheers fellas, have made some updates here. Scooped out some of the bass around 200 – 200hz, changed the clap and made some arrangement and mix tweaks. Reckon its sounding quite a bit cleaner now, so pretty happy with it. Thinking it could be the opening track on my long talked about album which I’m aiming for early next year – reckon it sets the…Read More

  • So, a little more about new releases. Recently a techno single was released by the artist Seelenkodex.
    The release is called “Train”. Basically, when I listened to this track, I had associations with how I ride the train to work. The track has a specific techno sound. Although the drum part is classic, I would say. The sound is technical, a…Read More

    • Nice track and review. I would actually say 4:38 minutes is minimum for a Track, I would never release something shorter on My Techno Label. It’s not radio music 🙂

      • I often have 4 minute tracks, but often there are shorter ones. I don’t know how it happens, maybe because of the specific genre.

        • Nothing wrong with short tracks. But tracks that are for the floor and are to put you into some state of trance. Need more than todays short attention span. Techno & Psytrance under 6 minutes is what i consider lazy.

          • ChatGPT agree 😀

            The typical length of a techno track is around 5 to 10 minutes. However, this can vary depending on the purpose of the track:

            Club/Extended Mixes: Tracks meant for DJs or club settings often run longer, typically 6 to 10 minutes, to allow for seamless mixing and gradual build-ups.
            Radio Edits: Shorter versions intended for radio…Read More

  • Hooray, my desire to work has returned. So maybe today I’ll write an article about some release.
