Snapped this up right away. Looking forward to digging in.

[Extralife]

Also...Will you guys please tell Romulo to put out some new stuff of his own?

[Nil]

Instant purchase obviously.

For anyone interested in how this was made , both auxien and I have elektron A4s and RYTMs.  We traded the .syx files back and forth a number of times until we were both satisfied with how the songs were sounding on the machines themselves. Then we basically went about recording and editing the tracks individually until we arrived at the final versions you hear on the EP.

Cool as shit.

as an aside we may be selling these machines with our signatures on them for exorbitant prices, as 'physical NFTs' if you will. for the ""tr00 0.syx fanz"" only. we're knocking about opening bids of $50,000 per machine. DM us for more info. 

and of course thanks for all the support and kind words everyone

Fuckin Popstars M8 , where's my Collab with Ariana G at 

unofficial tsrono's drunk mix

[T3551ER]

2021, the year where kickass music is being released. I feel like this is an emerging theme, and, god damn, how nice it is to feel like maybe, just maybe, there is light at the end of a long tunnel. This release is no exception, melding the sensibilities of two fine artists into an unmissable cavalcade of digital goodness, liquid, Elektron squiggles and deep bass hits. There is a real danger with music like this that it can become overstuffed, but this album somehow manages to throw sounds at your face at lightspeed while remaining cogent throughout, always tiptoing up to the edge of chaos, but never falling in wholeheartedly. 

Pop? A very odd thing to ascribe to this sound, but I get it: there is something immediately graspable here that causes instant head nod, while a maelstrom of other things careen around your head, ready for further examination. In truth, my favorite music has this feature - something I can hear (and, more importantly feel) immediately and resonate with, along with numerous other layers that invite further study, and reveal their treasures upon repeat listens. 

That this was done by two people working remotely is amazing, as it feels singular and whole, without the stain of obvious hands in the mix. What is more amazing is just how. fucking. good. it sounds. 

FFS stop reading this and go buy it. It's time to celebrate!!!

thank you for sharing all the kind words!  agreed that it's easy for this type of thing to go over that edge of maximalism and just be too much for many listeners, that was something kept in mind during writing and editing for sure.

Damn man, thank you for the kind words ! Very glad that you enjoyed it.  Re: it sounding good , that is all aux's credit as he did the mastering on it and he did a great job !

Yep working remotely has never been easier than now with the ability to trade .syx files directly. They went thru a number of permutations and even now when I listen it's hard to remember exactly where different parts came from or how they ended up how they did. 

I was also lucky enough to be able to get a bit of a view under the hood of aux's patterns and can now steal his techniques and appropriate them as my own 

@auxien bang up job man, hats (and other haberdashery) off! 

I find the whole process fascinating - glad you two were able to meld minds on this one, it sounds so unique, but as if it's all coming from the same source. Lovely stuff. Also, enjoy nicking them techniques (one of the true joys in life)!

Excellent work guys! You managed to squeeze a lot from your Elektrons;  
This release, the latest Melted Self and the Core Alter release should be pinned on Elektronauts! 

[acid1]

Great stuff!

[eczem]

Just wanted to say that I love what you guys did on this and the re-listenability is very high. Been on my regular rotation for a while now. Bangin tracks!

[Pirtek]

Stunning tracks!!
