Where did it come from? Where did it come from?
A very progressive track with two distinct parts - first part involves digital percussion followed by an interesting distorted pad - the second part has an arpeggiated lead against a choir pad which combine to give quite a dramatic end to the mix.
Revolution 21 Revolution 21
Revolution 21 is a three part track that relates to the deplorable system of global inequality, increasing dissent and a possible better outcome. With repeated calls of 'Kick it out!' and 'Good bye!', this mix is pretty vocal!
Rough Ride Rough Ride
A song with a very gritty lead synth and a floor thumping tom drum that gives the sensation of being physically put through a wooden roller coaster. The phaser effects in the latter half gives the sensation of being tossed through a looping coaster.

Be on the Beat! Be on the Beat!
Be on the Beat! is a very futuristic track with a strong robotic voice against the background of a warm pad modulated in slow motion. Complete 1/4 bar volume breaks through the track add real punch to the mix.
Into the Abyss... Into the Abyss...
Into the Abyss... reflects an adventure into the unknown, and the track itself involves plenty of percussion complementing a rather sinister theme.
Dark Echo Dark Echo
'Dark Echo' could be described as Techno House. The beat is strong and the mix itself is far cleaner with the use of gating on the reverb/delay effects. Also, the piano is more realistic due to more dramatic velocity settings.
Let's Rock! Let's Rock!
Let's Rock is an unusual dance track in that it contains complex harmonics, pitch bend, and lo-fi effects. The track speed is 124 bpm with a total playing length of over eight minutes.
Thunder Blast Thunder Blast
Thunder Blast is a short and snappy hard techno track with a playing time of just over 4 minutes. A thunder synth creates a dramatic climax which is shortly followed by an appropriate fade-out ending.
Fluctuations! Fluctuations!
*Fluctuations!* features 7 loops with plenty of pitch bend and is therefore quite gritty! The ending is also interesting as it features complete volume breaks, and pitch modulation on the robot loops.
At the Races! At the Races!
“At the Races!“ has an overall rhythmic structure which emulates a horse’s gallop, while other sounds reflect: a thundering gallop in the distance, a horse’s neighing, and voices over the PA system. I think you’ll enjoy it!
Techno Pier Techno Pier
“Techno Pier!“ reflects a seafront atmosphere in the summertime. Many sounds emulate those typically heard at the seaside - water effects, ice cream vans, seagulls etc, as well as echo effects associated with being under a pleasure pier.
Drum up the Bass! Drum up the Bass!
'Drum up the Bass' is a fast and intensive dance track. At various times, the percussion and sub-bass elements combine to form an earth shattering backdrop to a gritty saw-bass mixed with a pitch modulated warm-pad.
