This strangely hypnotic tune uses a huge variety of sound mangling techniques on a single field sample. From wavetable generation to straight plaback it’s all there somewhere.

This track takes a long while to develop, simple melodies and large atmospheres constantly evolve in timbre. Eventually all the disparate elements are dragged into unity by fat bass and beats.

Squelchy goodness fills this little dose of insanity. 2 lines of acid goodness one from a TD-3 and another from the nord micro modular are held in place by a driving breakbeat.

Heavy dub bass and empty beats characterise this laid back groove. A flute melody supplies one lead line and a shimmering bell like synth the other, all sprinkled with dubby ear candy.

Unusually this track carries with it a narrative, telling a tale of robots, cats and love. Of course there is still the heavy bass, slightly ragged beats and atmospheric pads.

This track has a somewhat dated sound reminiscent of 60’s psychedelia. Hypnotic bass and drums keep driving beneath an ambling woodwind lead sprinkled with jangling guitar.

Old school dirty low grade sampling supply the sounds of a thunderstorm and the breakbeats on this track. Floating over the top a repetitive analogue synth line and a surprisingly clean acid pattern.

Atmospheric pads and strange bleeps and wibbles gradually give way to focused broken beats and wandering melodic elements. All held in place by a deep subby bass.

A traditional song from the depths of Sussex given the Doc Bolus treatment Broken beats, bass, and a healthy does of strange dubby wibbles create this laid back groove.
