Really nice - bravissimo !

Thanks guys,
The voice at the end of “Anasazi” was added in a second time but the A4 is recorded directly through my Yamaha MT4X then into Logic X. Yes those tracks are parts of my main live set, I started playing this live set last year, still looking for gigs around my hometown, Bologna. I recently bought an Octatrack, still struggling with it, but this is the first track with both machines

Top grade stuff.
Gave you a fiver for it.
You should really charge a set price for the digital version as it’s good enough to warrant purchasing; you put in the work, make money from it.
Easily as good as Opal Tapes artists or the like and they’re making a mint.

Presente · 2015-05-14T21:38:26.000Z

I will definetly do that with the next release. I’m trying to spread my music as far as i can right now but if you really like it you can donate or buy the cassette. Thanks for relate my music to opal tapes, i love that label. I actually wrote them months ago without a response

Opal Tapes is rad! They have a “No Demos” policy unfortunately.

Diapause · 2015-05-14T22:42:18.000Z

Yeah, you have to remember that Opal Tapes is a boutique label that blew up really fast and unexpectedly due to brilliant first releases and artists on the label like Huerco S moving on to much better things really quickly.
Right place at the right time for that brand of techno.
They probably get dozens of demos everyday, but they really only want to release their friends’ music, etc.

Plus, one of their releases was pulled due to plagiarism via samples of other artists, so they may be wary of taking releases from unproven acts now.

Presente · 2015-05-15T00:08:27.000Z

Didn’t know about the plagiarism thing, who was the artist involved? by the way i ended up sending emails to record labels because of this, i’ll stick with my “self release” mentality. Playing live is the only things that matter to me, so guys; book me

Diapause · 2015-05-15T00:44:02.000Z

It was a one off from an artist named Nikolai.
The first track you can hear a sample from Actress’ “Doggin’” from Hazyville straight away.
I actually bought the cassette and didn’t notice it when I was ripping it to FLAC, but when I got in my car and heard the results I said to myself, “Did I have Hazyville in the second deck or something?”

The notes are in the comments section here:

ahha this reminded me about the controversial with zomby and reark. sad story indeed.

KOTARE · 2015-05-15T04:15:45.000Z

GREAT vibes and one of the first obviously A4 joints I’ve heard and loved!

Put a $5 on your next cassette EP.
