Picking up on the hard-dance tip from where Speaking in Tongues left off, “Thrillride” is a hard trance oriented track but with a lot of techno influence and a hefty amount of dirt.

I really enjoyed how this one evolved, both in producing it and in how it listens. There’s a lot of early 90s influence present here, which is highlighted more in the “Carousel mix”. By contrast, the “Gravitron mix” takes on an “inverted” character, elements of the original were reshaped for a really different sound.

Strap in for the ride. Listen to Thrillride on your favorite platform. If you want a copy to keep, the digital single is cheaper on Bandcamp (linked) than anywhere else.

The premier track on this one is “Speaking in Tongues”, a hard, fast slice of hard dance which draws a lot of influence from psytrance. I suppose this follows a thread I started with The Gateless Gate but with a little more gas.

The B-side “Shrieker” has a little different energy, but doesen’t underwhelm; this bouncy hard house track has an equally dark vibe with a bit of modern “donk” which will give your subwoofer a workout.

Together this release follows up on another recent hard dance release, and I hope you enjoy! You can pick this up anywhere you listen to music, but you can get it cheaper than anywhere through the Bandcamp player.

As the name “Fractal” implies; a complex, multipartite piece which weaves in a few different directions. Cerebral, minimal acid techno.

“Cubism” is a techy track which starts with subtle space and peaks with a big acidic bassline. Minimal, yet big on the buildup.

“Cubism” was produced alongside the other exclusives created for FOUNDATION. It probably took the most time to produce, and it’s also the longest. The latter is one of the reasons I decided to reserve this track from that release; another reason is that it just didn’t fit in with the straightforward nature of the rest of the EP.
