and i never got the critique as they'll absolutely lose it to a cut with the exact same construction - maybe i just picked the wrong words to repeat? ;) im just jokin tho, always appreciate feedback on tracks i let someone hear early but aint nobody tellin me how many notes the royal ear needs

i always liked the vocal line repeated every bar type thing where it becomes more an instrumental idea than it is a lyrical idea, though obviously impossible to remove the latter from the experience. ive made some demo's that friends heard and they 'll be like "maybe vocal repeats too much?"

i cant remmeber if i though tthe aquatherium record was a group on aquarius recordings or if i thought both were BDR or what but based of the Aquatherium record I had (which i couldnt remember exact artist/title) had me blind buy the BDR. And I think i may have another 12" from aquarius label
March 21, 2025 at 7:17 PM
i remember pulling that BDR off a shelf BECAUSE i remembered the aquatherium record i had and finding it proper vibe dispensing i was like "oh word, hopefully this rips too" thankfully both of em got gems. aquarius recordings as a label is chock full of solid jams tho; - here's an Aquatherium cut

im a sucker for organ progressions that lilt towards minor or dorian levels of emote and of course the more obtuse type ones where a whole chord is just sampled and pitched around to create weird/strange modulating key patterns:

i always thought the idea of tribal as genre was kinda silly but there def is a clear identifiable shared thread in rhythm/percussion of cuts touting the name or given the partition. prolly pitchin this up and playin towards the end as a way to brighten up as we head towards end of night

got a lot of 92-96 type vibes, stuff that really has that 1/8th not "up-hat" feel that kinda propels you fwd:

a nice lil tension builder with some reocognizeabl vocals for a crowd. personally if im playin to an audience that isnt full of folks with discogs accounts i like to give people somethin they kinda already know with stuff they never heard as a way to establish a lil trust floor <-> dj

on my own time, the support of friends and peers is monumentally meaningful. personally i wish the entire system operated more like this than the current systems relinquishing control from hands of middlemen back into the hands of those who dig in the dirt and do the work themselves.

there are way too many examples of people demonstrating the former all across the internet. shit i'd even argue more than just the right lack basic grasp on a clear definition of these things.
