Bust It (2x)

voltaire

Around three months ago a joint endeavor between Gil Duross of Philly Techno / Internal Error was started. He would provide me with a basic sample set, and general idea of direction and I would take these elements and build a track. We’ve put together three tracks so far. However we have yet to name the project. I’m thinking of something with dinosaurs in the name.

If you haven’t guessed already, I’m an admirer of Techno. Generally that scene has been over for more than a decade but I’m still a fan of its rigid constraints. It’s really fun to write it, you can use exceptionally experimental sounds, but you can never stray to far from its roots. That said these first songs, of a set of three (two, three) pays homage to classic old style acid house… tb303 and all. Both are variations of the same, one at around 120bpm and the other around 140bpm. One named for my bad ass cat, Keegan, who totally caught, killed and ate the biggest fly last week, and the other after what is likely the shower drain leaking into the floor/ceiling, ugh.

I’ve included the tracks, the samples, and the original sample set I was given for a comparison.
