The season of spooks is here. And what better way to spend the month than to run from relentless demons crawling out of the depths of hell.
A dark orchestral D'n'B piece is something I've not done in a long time, but it still runs in my veins. It was fun getting back to the faster rhythms after some recent slower beats.
Happy Halloween!

![Skelter [Funk/Breaks Music]
Im back with some more strange grooves! This is just one of those music tracks where I had fun and did whatever I wanted, and the result is pretty interesting. Some oldschool early 00s + funk inspiration here too for sure.
I originally made the baseline breaks in this track for the animation Allisk8r as a short frill. But I could not leave it at that, and decided to make a full track out of it!

![Precarious [Experimental/Hiphop Music]
So I have been tinkering with this track on and off, as is the case with most of my tracks these days. This turned into a giant experiment with distortion and voice usage, using some Korean rap samples, and I got transported into this odd zone you hear here. Give it some time to grow on you!

![Hidden Path [Ambient/Breakbeat Music]
A shortcut? This music started off as ambiance, but my urge to introduce rhythm slowly took over, as usual! The track has gone through many styles and sounds but ended up as this strange hybrid. I like it.

![Daybreaker [Upbeat Techno Music]
New funky fresh breaks in my old style. This track took a very long time to get right. Although it has a very familiar style if you are familiar with my music, it is packed with variation and details I hope will count for something. I had a vague idea of visuals and wanted to do something a lot more animated for my (probably) last track of the year, so I ended up contacting Makoyana to do the artwork, She did an amazing job! Later I animated it and did some additional graphic work over a few days.
Happy Holidays!

Stay home and chill.
Cant deny the influence from vapor wave and 80s / 90s sample music in this one.
This was a lot of fun to make, I have always been a fan of this “wooly” low-fi dirty style.
