  1. Thx mallenaut. I am sometimes trying to put some setar or tar in my tracks, somtimes santur, as i also play a little bit of classical persian music. till now i didnt realy manage to do it in a good way, cause it somehow didnt fit in my story of the electronic music and the sonic properties of these instruments are somehow difficult to fit into my style. but maybe one day i will find a way to do it that it makes sense. of course i only gonna do it, if it feels and sounds really good in the endresult...

  2. Escape Into - The Mirror Ektoplazm and Escape Into proudly present The Mirror, the last release by Dan Flict and Werther Azevedo, a duo from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After a three year hiatus Escape Into is back with their most adventurous release yet. Without the pressures of having to conform to a particular genre what emerged is a blend of freestyle electronic music with strong progressive rock influences, a style they call trip-rock. The melodies are more complex and refined than before while the tracks twist and turn unpredictably. Their use of analogue synthesizers shines through the complex arrangements bringing an organic warmth to the whole journey, making for a highly original trip through extraordinary and harmonious soundscapes. Produced with care and focus on details, it rewards repeated listens—their deepest offering yet! Mastered by Colin Bennun with artwork by Carol Porto.

  3. Well, making a good psy kbbb is not easy at all. I mean, it's easy to take a kick sample and s Sylenth preset and make something that sounds remotely like it, but making sure it's fat, it's groovy, it doesn't suddenly turn into crap when you check it at another sound system takes time. Actually Psilocybian, Braincell, some of the Nano guys are very creative at sound design, I like their trippy/glitchy metalic sounds. But without proper melodies it's hard for me to actually enjoy their music, I can listen to a track or two and even somehow like it but it quickly becomes tiresome. I'm waiting the melodic full-on wave to come back (yet another unpopular opinion, i know) injected with these modern edgy sounds.

  4. I think the technology is making matters worse. On one hand, professionals can use it to make things sound a lot better - listen to Oforia for an example. But then again, the ease of use makes it accessible to everyone, which isn't necessarily a good thing. People can "master" (read: maximize their amateur mix) using FL's Maximus or similar tools and release it on their own Bandcamp, absolutely no professional review required at any point. That sure doesn't help. Also, it doesn't help if you improve the production at the cost of everything else to the point where the music becomes dull. I mean it's way more simple to make a kick, bassline, some percussion and sound effects sound fat than do it with multiple synthesizers that span the whole frequency range, right? Perfect production can be the icing on a cake, but I don't like icing without any cake.
