wow

Glad to see the label alive and kicking! What's happening with Dissociative? His "Total Transformation" was a very special album and I still play it once in a while.

Damn, that's really something! Haunting, dark and very unorthodox in terms of sounds being used. A breath of fresh air, if you like! In particular I loved how that reverb tail from the 'trancey' part morphs into that guitar / piano outro - really lovely stuff

It's really interesting, with plenty of nice effects, noises and sound-snippets in there! If you're able to evolve it into something more melodic, then it can be really great! But please make it louder - I needed to turn all sliders/knobs on my computer to the max and still could barely hear anything

It's out and it sounds really great - a warm, summer-y vibe mixing dub, electronica and light pop influences!

Well, your debut album was a hugely surprising and very positive deviation from what I usually hear from Nitzho, so let me hope this can happen again

That acid line 4:20+

"talent" and "nitzhogoa" do not belong in the same sentence IMO, but looking forward to be proven wrong

@Taika-Kim, thanks for sharing all of that!

Well, I said "Live and Bitwig are centered around the Session view / Clips idea" which makes them more suitable to repetitive / loop-based music, as opposed to Cubase / ProTools / Studio One / etc. which are trying to copy the workflow of traditional studio, where you record ("track") session musicians and vocals to then mix and master it. Obviously you can do folk music in Live/Bitwig and hypnotic trance in Cubase Regarding Bitwig in particular - how would you rate its stability and performance? I've read a lot of complaints about it being plagued with CPU-spikes and GUI slowdowns, which would probably be a deal breaker for me. EDIT: Well, I'll be damned - Ott's using Bitwig now?! https://www.bitwig.com/en/community/artists.html

That's my only take away after listening to samples. I'll pass on this.

Ha! You might be right indeed!

It shapes up to be a great tune! Finish it and share with us

The riff and key-changes in the bass line are not enough to call it 'melodic', but great track nonetheless! I really like all the small sounds and details flying around the mix, the intro is great even the break with the triplets is bearable (and I hate triplets as a break). Good stuff!

Awesome track, but I had no idea and I thought I know Koxbox' full discography

If you do that, I'll unfollow your SC account

Well, they're known to drop services that were sort of in beta and were free, e.g. Waves, Reader, Picasa. Don't think they'll discontinue one where they have millions of paid subscribers. I have different issue with Google's Play though, i.e. the pricing: releases there are very cheap, e.g. KOB's album is PLN18 whereas it is PLN47 on Suntrip's Bandcamp page. While obviously it's great for me, I don't think it is Suntrip/KOB feel the same about it. Sure, it's still an income source, although I'd imagine it is very thin. Anyway, just got a refund from Bandcamp for those Nano Rec. releases, so at least I broke even I need to also take a look at Beatport, because it seems to offer huge catalogue of electronic music, though it's slightly focused on the mainstream which puts me off a little.

Sounds like a good Nano-esque full-on, similar to the better and more imaginative releases in this genre: Martian Arts, Pogo, etc. (sorry for big cover art, but I think it's beautiful!) https://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/mha/mha1cd002.html https://beatspace-maharetta.bandcamp.com/album/wild-life

Really good! I LOVED the intro, as well as the space you create when the beat kicks in - all the small effects & melodic hooks are really well placed. Don't like the 1st bass sample, though - it somehow holds it back, like the attack is too long maybe? The one that appears at around 4:00 is better. The bee / singing at around 4:35 is incredible, really creative and surprising - wish the melody evolved further.

As usual, great tune! My thoughts: - loved the intro, although wanted it to go longer before the kick kicks in, - hate the echoing crash rides, sorry - from 2:00 on it's marvellous - very wide and broad, love that low counterpoint 'drone' that comes in at around 2:30 (although it would sound better 1/16 or 1/8 sooner, I think?) - 4:00 - 5:00 is pure bliss, with that Cosmosis-style vocoded lead; it only misses more 'dense' hihats to give it more energy maybe? - 6:30 for a second I was scared you'll go into triplets there :-O - the finale is somewhat less energetic than the middle part? For my money it's because it misses some gating on the sounds (they're all flowing, long, etc.), which - I find - helps creating energy. My 0.02$. Sorry if I'm being to anal about it

Oh I'm sure you'd be excused this time

Obviously all pre-2000 releases, so all of them are considered classics nowadays, like Radio, Dragon Tales, Synergy, Bible of Dreams and the likes. It was +/- 30 releases, but I bought them being a student, so I had to sacrifice food/drinks and also I couldn't order via Internet, so I relied on a friend who brought stuff from Germany.

Yeah, sure I do this obviously. But it's still discouraging. Maybe I should stick to Google Play, because it's very unlikely that it is going to bankrupt

Yeah, no.

It's not really about money (EUR16), but more about the concept of going all-digital being really vulnerable as hell. Sure, I can probably get a refund this time, but what happens if Bandcamp goes belly up? Sure, I also had my physical collection of roughly 30 CDs stolen in 1999 (which was much more valuable to me back then, because of sacrifices I had to make to buy them financially and logistically). So what's left now? Torrent sites?
