Sab Kuch Milegator - Boxside The Out
Oopie replied to Oopie's topic in Artist News and Labels announcements
Hey thanks! It's a lot of love I've put into these... like hundreds of hours. It's basically me trying to give stuff to those who like melody, detail and complexity in one. -
Sab Kuch Milegator - Boxside The Out
Oopie replied to Oopie's topic in Artist News and Labels announcements
It's now available free of charge! ("name your price") -
Holla! The thing is... there was supposed to be a full length but I couldn't scrape it together due to technical issues. Together with the re-launched Ektoplazm we've now released a three track EP compiling the last tunes of the original "SKM studio". https://ektoplazm.bandcamp.com/album/boxside-the-out Sab Kuch Milegator - Boxside The Out 1. Pixelbox Pixie (142 bpm) 2. Box Full Of Mad Ion Candy (145 bpm) 3. Underdog's Overdrive (148 bpm)

Falls short of the previous level he's held. I'm personally very unsettled with basic/simple type of melody work where a given pattern is repeated to exhaustion. Now that could be a choice as a matter of fact, but I find the sort of solution unimaginative and lackluster. And unfortunately there's quite a bit of that here.

Honestly, it sounds like a short melody he composed himself.

Very little collecting these days... however I was very happy to recently score the Color Box album and today I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Nerve's No Foco cd-maxi for sale on Discogs! It was last sold in 2011. One of the very best releases of the tech-era.

Wanna hear the latest and indeed quite possibly the last of Sab Kuch Milegator project? This one was in the making for 6 months...

Hey-hey. How's it? This is a bit of a large scale topic to tackle but I've been thinking about it every now and then. So the main question is - how's everything changed considering psytrance culture? What do you think? It's obviously a question that's intertwined with our technological/social/human progression. It's difficult to start making an analysis but to get things started... I'm arguing people are in collective terms less focused. This means what we "consume" needs to be easy and fast to digest. Any person needs to make a conscious effort to withhold a long attention span in the age is smart phones and social media. A shorter attention span is not the only thing - if you browse through endless amounts of data (phone/computer...), the creators of this data are in battle to win your attention. Your attention is money, straight and honest. It's views, likes and ad revenue. As you might have noticed, this battle is intense and ugly. It's almost like as if you've suddenly landed in this weird zoo with endless amount of monkeys hitting cymbals together. The loud and obscene run the show. Attention is also a drug like phenomenon, some people crave for it and are willing to take any measure to achieve it. And it certainly has been this way before the invention of internet, but nowadays you can't escape this toxic energy that easily. We're physically less in contact and digitally affected by behavior that we can easily classify sub standard. But isn't it so, that we've actually developed a skill to avoid the negative aspect of internet to some degree? That skill is indifference. People are far more indifferent than before. We just have to ignore a lot of things, because the amount of stimulus has significantly risen in the 10-15 years or so. In global terms the rise of indifference is great for the ones in control. But for the majority, for the planet, for the evolution of mankind... it's toxic. It creates a world of apathy and that's when things get dark when we run out of empathy and hopefulness. Let's see how the aforementioned, in my opinion, affects psytrance culture: 1) Drop of quality / When it's "fast-food" it means you only have to figure out a few things like production standards to achieve the pop-appeal. And sure, there's a place for easily digestible music and it can be fun too. But how about the very opposite? The ruthlessly difficult yet intelligent sound? The reason to do music, the idea behind it, has certainly changed for the worse. The big names are very clinical in their approach and pretty much create the same track over and over again. These days there's more ego & less Soul. 2) Drop of interest / People are less engaged. Less focus means we give each other, not to mention our art, less time and appreciation. We hardly stop to admire a great work even when we hear it. We don't write reviews. Those take time and who cares! Right? That's just the way cookie crumbles these days. 3) No more classics / There's no consensus on what's good and what's not. Just a few single opinions at most. There's no real indicators of quality and popularity these days neither, because views and stardom can be bought. We can all probably agree Hallucinogen's Twisted is a classic yes? But come to talk about anything from the last 10 years I wouldn't know. I couldn't know. 4) Less story-telling albums / ...and more digital singles! Because singles can be released more often therefore staying "active" as an artist/label. Activity is one of the key elements to gaining attention online. A full length album? Yesterday's antics.

Seems they've recently also released expanded editions of Abduction, Implant and Children Of the Bong's Sirius Sounds!

Nice to have some feedback... can you imagine I feel the same way as you to a certain extent. It's tragicomical you make a 9 minute track and then think maybe it should've been just a tad longer! In all honesty, the project file for this track got somehow "corrupted" near the completion and I couldn't do any significant changes without crashing the DAW. That's the poor man's outdated, pirated FL studio charm for you.

My track... it's a bit on the dark edge of things.
-
I know! Like, there's no review of the album either? Hey buddy you're 100% correct - regardless when music was recorded, what matters is when it's actually released to the public. Many of these "old school" releases are legit 2021 (or 2022 at the time of writing) releases BUT Bypass Unit, I would know as it's my favorite Goa release, was first released in CD format back in 1999.
-
Sab Kuch Milegator - Tajunnan Rajamaa.... early 2021! Could I pinpoint 'Bypass Unit - Drops of Obscure Eclipses' is in fact from 1999. Other than that, it's a good initiative.

This has already been online for some time... an adventurous track that I did found a great match with my bro's video.
