High fives!
Finally managed to get my ass back in the studio on a consistent level over the last month, after a really, really long hiatus (probably a year and a half…). Released an EP today. More to come.
After a busy year, it feels good to have this last EP for 2023 out in the world. Thanks to all of you who’ve listened this year

Something I have been working on. Early 90’s Italo dream house vibe. First draft, not quite finished, just trying out the main bits.
Like that a lot. I’ve got a similar project I’ve been trying to wrap up since April. 2024 hopefully. Good luck with yours. Sounding nice.
New to posting on the forum, starting to explore some threads and thought this was a good place to start for introductions. I think I know a few people here already.
I run I Travel to You, a label out of Norwich, this is the third vinyl release. They’re not both strictly edits - maybe A side is a cover, or version etc, unsure what to call them at the moment. More on the way.
Love that Rainy Summer track, hadn’t heard it before
great mix of (DX?) chords and lower synth/bass parts
My first ever track, which was only supposed to have been a 30s clip to use as BGM for a friend’s dumpling delivery restaurant during the pandemic, but ended up growing into a full sized track just because I had the extra time.
Niko Niko is a japanese expression used when you want to give a sort of smiling approval to something. As in when you eat a really nice Gyoza. Or listen to a song you enjoyed a lot.
Not much processing done to the track (I don’t know how to, really) but it sounds good as is for now. I want to make some extra mixes of it later on, then might get someone to help me with mixing/mastering but for now the DL is available on soundcloud as is.
Cool track Marco. The bassline bounces along nicely and sits well in the drums. The chords / keys give it a nice atmosphere, and the bleeping melody line has a Japanese vibe in an 8-bit kind of way. The mix sounds clean enough to me.
Thanks for listening, Joe!
Love the bassline! I find a little saturation/soft clipping works wonders on individual channels to give a more analogue-like bite, especially for 707/808 samples.
Nice ‘late night in the city vibes’
Love it
Thanks so much!
Latest release on my micro-label Mono Disco, produced by me in the old-school sense of nurturing the artists, guiding the project, making it all happen, bit of arranging, curation, etc. Rather than actually making the music itself! But hopefully still fits here. Hip hop to trip hop to dub…
Nice. Will play this on my Loose.fm show next month.
Just to say I really like this. Played it loads today. Nice one. Got any more like this?
Thanks, that’s great, glad you’re enjoying! Debut release, so nothing more to share right now, but both artists have new stuff in the works, plus I have some bits in the archive I may dig out, so stay tuned
Don’t know if hard hardware jam Techno is anyone’s bag, but my live duo partner Paul has his first EP out on a small Glasgow based net label if anyone cares to give it a whirl? Cheers!
Reminds me of going to University with Cristian Vogel. Which is no bad thing.
New ones coming out in IIB? Soon
