Voidreckon is not just my way of celebrating 100k Subscribers on TH-cam, it's also my first true album experience. Each of the 8 tracks were created specifically for the album, so there is a sense of cohesion between them. This album has been my obsession for the better part of this year, and I'm so excited to finally share it with all of you! 🧡
Just you wait, in about four-to-five hours we shall have art of space waifus dressed in sharply fashionable suits while a space chad is willing to travel light years to get them!
Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is why you always ensure your safety harness in ENTIRELY SECURE before beginning a spacewalk. Also, I've been bumping this for like a month and have shared it with several people. Utterly in love with the sound. Amazing job on this, Mittsies.
I'll admit I was somewhat skeptical that this album would be successful because it's just a standalone project, not a game soundtrack. But yeah! Exciting stuff~
I have probably listened this album now a dozen times and it doesn't get old. I even worked it into one of my sci-fi-tabletops since it fits so well (Braincell for a disco, and Phantom for an invisible alien following the group through space, attacking with psychic means). It is just that good!
Is it just me or this album is perfect for space themed strategy/rougelike game. Seriously, if there was a space game (preferably with vanripper as the artist) I'd buy it right here right now. Every track thematically fits for different levels. 1)Floodlights is perfect for a first level where player is safe on one of bases/ships but still on the frontier, ready to learn and discover the vast space. Basically a tutorial/exposition. 2)Painkiller is a second mission which starts at the end of previous one. We and our friends are geting attacked, everything and everyone goes in battle mode. But attack is too sudden and we get hit pretty hard, we're in "Pain", but as mission progresses we gather our forces and rebuild what was destroyed while steadily pushing aggressors. And at some moment music shifts, we're not prey anymore, we're winning, we're not feeling "Pain" anymore. But at the end, original "pain" beat returns. First combat mission which works as motivation for our character(s). I think at start we start alone or with very small forces and collect more forces as we go to the our destination point while fighting bad guys. 3)Voidreckon at start carries a pain but it's more industrial, crude and feels like painkillers are wearing off. Then it goes farther and farther away from it, into the void, as like we escaped or calming down. BUT IT RETURNS EVEN HARDER and chase/fight continues untill... until something changes, the solo starts which is probably means either we have finaly ran away or found something that helps us. This mission have a different playstyle, we have already gathered everyone who we could and our main priority is to get out of there. So main core mechanic is constant moving. 4)Braincell sound unfamiliar and muted, almost foggy. It probably means that we're in nebula. After some time we getout of there and see a beatiful planet on the "Horizon", but BAM BAD GUYS ARE BACK. But not for long as we start hide and seek game in nebulas. Now main feature is stealth which is very convinent with all the nebulas around. 5)Horizon - Bad guys lost us and we've made our way to the planet which is perfect to colonize. Can't really say how exactly it fits into the game because it's so peaceful and full of hope and have no sign of the enemy. It can be: A) Peaceful resource gathering and preparing for a final battle. But song doesn't sound urgent enough, but if we add some background "pain" beat, which grows louder and louder as the time passes, it will fit perfectly. B)Or it can be an ending song. 6)Phantom can be a bonus zombie/spooky level or a part after nebula wher we get ourselves in a dark part of space full of derelicts and new enemies (Ai or alien organism which can control destroyed ships for example) I imagine it as one of late game levels when you know almost all about the game and get tired of same enemies and want something fresh, and you get it as a fun level with completetly new enemies and mechanics. Or it can be a theme song for a "Dark space" 7)Stranded is us being... stranded. We're too far away from any known and unknown parts of space. It starts slow but keeps getting steady but nerveous, hopeful but lost. But at the end it stops, we stopped. I like to think about it as final level (or close to finale) where we have got too far... too far to stop, steady and deliberately make our way through all the dangers of space. Main idea of this level is environmental dangers like asteroids or blackholes.
Enjoyable read. I could really imagine the neurons activating in your mind as you wrote this. I do hope my music inspires more awesome games in the future.
from the song names and background images, i think the lore is Mitty (a twitter artist said this became the official name due to the majority liking it or suggesting it in the live chat) and the camera is us the veiwer, i think the first 4 and a half songs are us getting to know each other (note her visor is opaque) and in horizon midway through she makes her visor see through due to us having a friendship, and i think stranded comes before Phantom, where in stranded something happens and she runs out of life support before she can get inside, thus being stranded (also note the fact you can't see her face and it's white washed with what seems to be a tear running down her cheek), and in phantom it's a nightmare of her, because we couldn't save her in time (or in a more dark thought we locked her out, either knowingly or not), and Ledgehugger is us remembering her/seeing her ghost (note that you can see some of the rocks through her leg and tail) due to our inability to save her (or guilt for locking her out) we are hugging a ledge. (be that a cliff ledge, a bar table, or some other "ledge")
This album completely separated Mittsies and Helltaker for me. It proves just how well Mittsies can do without being attached to something. Mittsies was probably thinking of a story while producing all these songs, because of the names and background images, and that was a nice play by Mittsies, you can hear the emotions in each of the songs. You can feel that something is up, there is meaning on that soundtrack, not just some noise, like most of eletronic music I've heard. This album is a masterpiece, and I expect more from Mittsies. Since this album was themed around space and stuff, how about the next be themed on a sort of medieval/magic adventure?
Indeed. He made a lot of animations. Primarily animated 'Parodies', but also a few originals you can still find on his site if your into that sort of thing.
It seperated Mittsies and Helltaker... but not Mittsies and Vanripper... which makes me feel like we're gonna see a game sometime soon with the Space Girl and maybe this album.
@@Mittsies thank you very much! And yes, your music helped me a lot over the last two years. So please keep doing what you do and make people happy! :)
Thanks! Many tracks were created for this album, but I narrowed it down to the absolute best ones, and this is the result. The 8 that made the cut are all very special to me.
I just realized that the Squirrel-stronaut becomes semi-transparent during Phantom (after seeing the tail). Then, it goes back to opaque during Stranded, and finally ends as transparent during Ledgehugger. I think that means the Squirrel-stronaut DIED and her corpse is floating through space along with her ghost. Cool detail, and RIP Squirrel-stronaut.
I'm so glad this popped into my recommended. I bought the album because the tracks were seared into my head and I couldn't get them out, and they make perfect music for writing and relaxation. Absolutely great work Mittsies.
I feel like my younger self listening to cool electric music, thinking about epic space games. This gave me nostalgia for no reason. Perfect soundtrack, the whole album is godly.
I mean this in the post positive way I can : your music hits the ADHD JUST right. There's good layers in there. the beat keeps me working, the top melody keeps my brain tickled. The change in the tone inspires a narrative, without distracting from my current project. love your work, thank you for sharing this with us
This is, in fact, very impressive work. Vanripper sure can draw attention in general feed, and once one clicks, there is no way back, music just gravitate all attention to itself. Glorious experience. Thank you.
I don't know what am I writing exactly, but let's name it my "love letter to your music" I am a person, that was born in the years of hyping The Prodigy music in 2000x. All my childhood I grow in the house where every single part of my small family was listening to his own genre of music: elder brother listened to black metal and synth/EDM music. My mama listened to intense Indian and French mixes of different songs. All that sound had very vivid pulsing rhythms and no wonder that at my teens I found myself in breakdance until some kind of physical trauma. Then I changed my profile and started to exercise in drawing/arts. It was my passion, cuz I could literally visualise the music and beats that I listened before. Breakdancing people were so dynamic and cool to draw from my memories(yeah, dats right, I draw without any "references", just canvas and brushes despite the fact that I did this in CG. So my fantasy was working fully getting the main inspiration from music in my headphones. And god bless you. It was the only time I liked hyped thing SO much: Helltaker inspired me to draw more but what is more important is that I discovered this channel with the full discography that will be attached to different periods of my life: Naga, Tandem album, TOWER(!!!!), Morningstar, REGISTRY(!!!!!), Sanctuary and of course Vitality. I don't see this song as meme or Helltaker related(although it is the way I found it). This is a separate work of art that gives me a slightly perceptible feeling of loneliness in the good sense of the word and also makes my heart shiver and almost making me cry every time I hear it. I can describe every song detailed(Does it gonna be interesting?) All this prelude was said just to say: Ledgehugger is SO emotionally-related to me. And also your songs are a huge part of my real human life. And right now after dance and art I do study in sound design college. Started to listen to popular music, but hear only individual sounds under the filters. This is not the case with your music. You put a lot of love into it. Sincery your Alex 27.09.2023 28:41
I can't stop linking this to people; It really is an amazing treat. I especially like Floodlights, Voidreckon, and Horizon myself. Certainly a lot of people have appreciated a break from Christmas music, with the timing here and all.
Mittsies, I love your stuff. I can just put your repertoire on repeat and do whatever - games, programming, work, dishes, anything. There's no song where I need to be like "meh... skip.." because while some songs are great, all of them are good. This new album is a great sci-fi addition! Digging it! 🐿🤘🏼
It was important to me that every album on this track felt like "the one". When I listen to other albums, I often find myself enjoying some but not all of the tracks... so when I made Voidreckon, I wanted a short track list where every single song was integral to the overall vibe of the album. I've said it before, if you asked me to pick a favorite, I don't think I could. This album is really meant to be listened to as one whole package.
@Mittsies Hmm.. yeah, it is more like one song with different movements (even if they can be very distinct) than an album. So I'd say mission accomplished there.
@@Mittsies "It was important to me that every album on this track felt like "the one".

Each song is great in its own way. People keep saying the album is sci-fi... Which... okay? But I wouldn't say so. Stranded seems to be greatly inspired by the sea, for instance - at least that's the vibe i'm receiving. The first time i listened to the album, I just sat there in the darkness with my eyes closed and just this beautiful music... Keep up the good work.
Sir, ten years ago I could never imagine that this day would come I'm really happy for you that you can persist in creating for such a long time You have maintained your passion, creativity and public appreciation in many areas, which is really valuable I will definitely spend a lot of time listening to this album in the future You have always been the role model that inspires me to creative I really hope that one day I can also reach the height you are today I sincerely wish you continued success in the future, no matter when and where you are I use Deepl translation, I hope you understand me correctly
Braincell and especially Phantom gave me Hotline Miami vibes. There's something special about those squeaky/springy instruments that fade in and out. Amazing album, and congratulations on 100k!
This was an awesome premier. I can't possibly pick a fav but I can say that "stranded" gave me great nostalgia, like playing flash games in the past and such. Thanks for another great release Mittsies, hoping for many more bangers to come Also merry early christmas and early happy new year everyone!!
for some reason, every time i tune in and hear floodlights as the opening track for the album, how it starts instantly mesmerizes me into that space feel. and the tracks that follow do nothing else but cement that feeling your music is awesome, mittsies!
Been listening to you since 2013, glad you've picked up more than a niche little following after Helltaker. You used to kick my ass in Mordhau a few years back.
This album is one of the extremely rare things in my life that generates a very unique cozy vibe. Especially with the song Phantom. Playing this in my room makes my room feel like a well-protected spaceship where I can just kick back and relax while outside is pandemonium. Kinda like the ship in FTL or Starbound, or cyclops in Subnautica. Especially fitting after arriving home from work.
The more I listen to Mittsies, the more I lose myself in the harmony and melodies that Mittsies has produced which leaves me astounded and yearning for another listen.
Damn this album is a awesome culmination of different experiences of edm. Herizon goes hard in the paint but I really love the whole album. Great Job Mittsies. Hope you have a merry christmas!
Deep Rock Galactic and Hotline Miami banged their beats together and out came a MITTSIES album? This is dope. 19:25 Holy COW the YTTD vibes here are insane
@@L337playing Yes, its a game named Your Turn to Die. Idk if it's canon it be an horror game, but have an similar vibe with another franchise named Danganronpa. Include a bit of mystery, deaths, choices, different routes and personal experience; there's no gore or smth like tho. You can search for more, if interests you.
I must've listened to this entire album at least 20 times. It's really great to have on while writing and playing games, or even just while commuting or traveling. Each of the numbers have their own vibe, but I feel Horizon has become my go-to out of all of them.
This is so good. From front to back the theming is cohesive and amazing. Each song oozes your style, yet each feels so much more continuous progressing as they go on. So much went into this and I absolutely love it.
I've been playing a ton of No Man's sky lately, and then SUDDENLY you drop SPACE BANGERS?! I love this happy coincidence, and this will now be the soundtrack for the rest of my playthrough lmao Keep it up with the absolute bangers, Mittsies!
I've been listening to this album every day for like a month because, on top of just being S tier music, it so badly makes me want to go play or watch or go experience something that matches it. Obviously something space themed but something action or adventure focused because the music gives that feeling of wanting to go see majestic sights but also go knock some teeth out. I also think that the first and last tracks are positively sublime, Floodlights gives this feeling of introduction and setting out on something (plus I just like listening to it the most) and Ledgehugger gives this feeling of some final conflict, finally getting back home, and being able to finally lay down in bed for the first time in ages and look back out at the stars ready for that next adventure. I don't have such concrete feelings on the other tracks but they all feel very distinct and yet flow together effortlessly. I also can't get the image of being in orbit around some planet with a ring system and looking back up at those rings while listening to this album out of my head. The entire album makes my mind race with individual little thoughts, stories, and scenes in a way very few other pieces or collections of music do, it feels like a very special project made a talented musician and I'm glad it exists.
I love that video games are an avenue through which talented artists can be found. Mittsies with Helltaker, Meganeko with Ultrakill, DM Dokuro with Calamity Mod. That's not to say these artists are nameless before the game, but that both the artist and the game grow through the experience they put out for people. I may have found Mittsies through a video game about dating demon women, but the quality of the music kept me around
In some ways, I suppose this album was to showcase that I can make something that really holds up on its own without needing to be attached to anything in particular.
This was my introduction to Mittsies. What a great album, absolutely wonderful to listen to as a collection. The video artwork and subtle changes throughout were just icing on the cake.
This album goes so hard while playing Satisfactory. It is not even funny how productive this makes me during a session. Played like 6 hours on loop without even noticing. Yes, this album is that good. Awesome job Mittsies!
Voidreckon by Mittsies is now one of my favorites go-to albums when I'm programming. That squirrel, Mittsies, has some strange powers to make my day. Big preesh!
I just wanna thank you for providing the world with the best missing pieces of electronic music. Also, the last track `Ledgehugger` and `Voidreckon` are the tracks with the chillist vibes that I heard all month! Like they feel so nostalgic, futuristic, yet so chill at the same time; it confuses my neurons I feel like they are from another world. I cannot even describe it in English anymore. It is just.. awesome.
something about that suit makes me really want to try to 3d model it, it just looks so simple but still complex to model it, it makes me want to 3d model that suit, on top of that, this album is amazing
Thank you so much for keeping up the hard work. Every song got that special "Mittsies" awesome vibe but it feels fresh and unique. Braincell really boops with the bass, I love it.
Listening to this album gets better every time, somehow. First time I liked it but now I love it which is honestly pretty rare and very impressive, good work Mittsies!
Hey Mitts', you probably will never see this message but anyway, I wanted to say that i'm grateful for your musics, they followed me since June 2023 when I was - for some reason - thinking about helltaker again . I was like damn, never realised how good the music was, then I went to your channel and WOW, I immediately fell in love with your musics ❤. I haven't stopped listening to it since lol, Whenever I was studing, playing chess, running etc ... I was often listening your songs. So ... I just wanted to say that I'm grateful for your work and that I'll probably keep listening to them forever . Fly high my little squirrel ❤❤🐿🐿💫💫. Edit : It's been a year and yeah, I'm still listening to your songs lol. I can't wait for your next album !
I listened to the entire album, I really liked the songs, that retro cyberpunk and ambient style, it's like I was listening to the soundtrack of a video game, great job bro!
I am a simple man, I see Mittsies Anime girls and the promise of good music in the thumbnail, I click. Now this space -inspired stuff, that hits the spot.
Nice beats! ~ On March 26th 2022, just past midnight, I was restless in bed, my limbs became numb & tingly, my chest became tight, & my heart felt like it was being crushed. So I sang out to God and Jesus, about my pain, my feelings, my faults and my inabilities.
As I sang, I began to feel like a river, & a hand was on my back, it's fingers where skimming the surface of the waters, separating the waters, causing ripples through my body. Then the hand reached inside my chest, lit my heart on fire, & the heat moved like waves through my body. When I was done singing, all the pain was gone, & I looked at the clock, it was past 1am, I had sang near an hour.
Then the voice of my guardian angel called my name from above, & there was a hymn of energy in the air, the same hymn I hear in my dreams of God. Glory, Honor, blessings, thanks and praise to the Lord my God, for healing my heart during a heart attack! Hallelujah to the Lord my God for healing my heart! Hallelujah for His son Jesus for saving my soul! Hallelujah for every day! Hallelujah for every breath! The Lord is Faithful and true! May the Lord Bless your hearts, so that you have the will and strength to turn from selfish sins, and flee from the slaveries of the flesh!
I've been buying and listening to your music for years at this point, and you just DO. NOT. MISS! Every time you release a song or album I find at least a few reasons to go back and listen to them a few times for myself, or just have them on in the background. Stratum is where I got my start, and Mittsies, if that actually means anything to you at this point you already know where I heard it first. I love ya dude, keep makin kick ass music!
Voidreckon is one hell of a drug With multiple listens and the art portrayals into each song it's enough to interpret a direction of space horror/survival, which would fit for an amazing animation The voidreckon track itself is an absolute banger
8 tracks in 8 months, this album is out of this world that it got me rejuvenated and vibing to his musical prowess! Gonna be listening to this for the upcoming New Year! EDIT: Cheers to you all! Goodbye to 2022, and say hello to 2023!
ngl it feels like a story just by reading the names on the songs and the artworks help too i would just have qualified the last one ( ledgehugger ) an illusion before dead ( phantome and stranded ) oh good memories :D
There was definitely a story in my head as I made these tracks, and I think the video helps present those ideas while still leaving it up to viewer intepretation.
I'd say their Return to the Sauce album (Continuous Mix) and this album have the same retro sci-fi vibes :p Bunnyside of Future Downtown (FurryJoA 2023 Theme Music Album) also has similar vibes :D
Held out on making a comment since this dropped, but man... This is some of the best electronic music I've heard the past decade. Some high quality and top notch stuff right here
Still remember the first time I heard a Mittsies song in a deviantart game and was blown away, only to find there were many many more where that came from! My favorite music period.
Voidreckon is not just my way of celebrating 100k Subscribers on TH-cam, it's also my first true album experience.

@@MittsiesGood to see you're still alive and okay bruh
Is it just me or this album is perfect for space themed strategy/rougelike game. Seriously, if there was a space game (preferably with vanripper as the artist) I'd buy it right here right now.
Every track thematically fits for different levels.
1)Floodlights is perfect for a first level where player is safe on one of bases/ships but still on the frontier, ready to learn and discover the vast space.
Basically a tutorial/exposition.
2)Painkiller is a second mission which starts at the end of previous one. We and our friends are geting attacked, everything and everyone goes in battle mode. But attack is too sudden and we get hit pretty hard, we're in "Pain", but as mission progresses we gather our forces and rebuild what was destroyed while steadily pushing aggressors. And at some moment music shifts, we're not prey anymore, we're winning, we're not feeling "Pain" anymore. But at the end, original "pain" beat returns.
First combat mission which works as motivation for our character(s). I think at start we start alone or with very small forces and collect more forces as we go to the our destination point while fighting bad guys.
3)Voidreckon at start carries a pain but it's more industrial, crude and feels like painkillers are wearing off. Then it goes farther and farther away from it, into the void, as like we escaped or calming down. BUT IT RETURNS EVEN HARDER and chase/fight continues untill... until something changes, the solo starts which is probably means either we have finaly ran away or found something that helps us.
This mission have a different playstyle, we have already gathered everyone who we could and our main priority is to get out of there. So main core mechanic is constant moving.
4)Braincell sound unfamiliar and muted, almost foggy. It probably means that we're in nebula. After some time we getout of there and see a beatiful planet on the "Horizon", but BAM BAD GUYS ARE BACK. But not for long as we start hide and seek game in nebulas.
Now main feature is stealth which is very convinent with all the nebulas around.
5)Horizon - Bad guys lost us and we've made our way to the planet which is perfect to colonize.
Can't really say how exactly it fits into the game because it's so peaceful and full of hope and have no sign of the enemy.
It can be:
A) Peaceful resource gathering and preparing for a final battle. But song doesn't sound urgent enough, but if we add some background "pain" beat, which grows louder and louder as the time passes, it will fit perfectly.
B)Or it can be an ending song.
6)Phantom can be a bonus zombie/spooky level or a part after nebula wher we get ourselves in a dark part of space full of derelicts and new enemies (Ai or alien organism which can control destroyed ships for example)
I imagine it as one of late game levels when you know almost all about the game and get tired of same enemies and want something fresh, and you get it as a fun level with completetly new enemies and mechanics.
Or it can be a theme song for a "Dark space"
7)Stranded is us being... stranded. We're too far away from any known and unknown parts of space. It starts slow but keeps getting steady but nerveous, hopeful but lost. But at the end it stops, we stopped.
I like to think about it as final level (or close to finale) where we have got too far... too far to stop, steady and deliberately make our way through all the dangers of space.
Main idea of this level is environmental dangers like asteroids or blackholes.

Ledgehugger is such a good track. They all feel like your ears and brain are being pleasantly massaged.
The premiere was ABSOLUTELY EPIC. And now we must decipher the lore behind our cute squirrel friend
ledge hugger chunky bear
Ye
Until we know the story we don't actually know. Is she a friend, or a foe?
from the song names and background images, i think the lore is Mitty (a twitter artist said this became the official name due to the majority liking it or suggesting it in the live chat) and the camera is us the veiwer, i think the first 4 and a half songs are us getting to know each other (note her visor is opaque) and in horizon midway through she makes her visor see through due to us having a friendship, and i think stranded comes before Phantom, where in stranded something happens and she runs out of life support before she can get inside, thus being stranded (also note the fact you can't see her face and it's white washed with what seems to be a tear running down her cheek), and in phantom it's a nightmare of her, because we couldn't save her in time (or in a more dark thought we locked her out, either knowingly or not), and Ledgehugger is us remembering her/seeing her ghost (note that you can see some of the rocks through her leg and tail) due to our inability to save her (or guilt for locking her out) we are hugging a ledge.

@@Mittsies thank you very much! And yes, your music helped me a lot over the last two years. So please keep doing what you do and make people happy! :)
@@Mittsies This album cured my aids, thank you Mittsies!
@@UnofficialCyane u sayin the music un-fuked you?
@@HitokiriReiNoted. Second ingredient to a true healing potion- Mittsies' music.
I didn't expect to immediately fall in love with an album that got randomly recommended to me by TH-cam 😳😳
Would fit *PERFECTLY* into a pixelated sci-fi game like Faster Than Light
FTL was in fact one of the many inspirations for the this album.
@@Mittsies Please elaborate on the topic of other inspirations, among FTL.
@@Mittsies Hell yeah!
hell yeah i LOVE ftl
It's not that hard to mod in music in FTL so...
Loving the Ledgehugger track especially... that melody just stays comfortably in the back of my mind. Lovely music to do some work by.
Hell yeah new Mittsies album! I know what I'm going to be listening to non stop for the foreseeable future.
I come back to this every now and them because it is a really good experience to listen to everything back
❤❤❤❤
Man... like... every single music hits hard, i think this is the best album you produced yet, what a banger man, GOOD JOB
Thanks! Many tracks were created for this album, but I narrowed it down to the absolute best ones, and this is the result. The 8 that made the cut are all very special to me.
@@Mittsies Do you think you'll release the others at some point?
@@Mittsies Here's hoping we get to hear the cut tracks eventually!
FR, I'm listening for the 10th time and can't get over how good this is.
I just realized that the Squirrel-stronaut becomes semi-transparent during Phantom (after seeing the tail). Then, it goes back to opaque during Stranded, and finally ends as transparent during Ledgehugger. I think that means the Squirrel-stronaut DIED and her corpse is floating through space along with her ghost. Cool detail, and RIP Squirrel-stronaut.
you can see the squirrel-stronaut’s hair going past where the glass on the helmet would be in Phantom
thought she was Sandy from spongebob
Mitts pulled a vanripper on us but it's squirrels in spacesuits instead of demons in tuxedos
I'm so glad this popped into my recommended. I bought the album because the tracks were seared into my head and I couldn't get them out, and they make perfect music for writing and relaxation. Absolutely great work Mittsies.
I feel like my younger self listening to cool electric music, thinking about epic space games. This gave me nostalgia for no reason. Perfect soundtrack, the whole album is godly.
Damnit! Adults are stealing our vibes!
I mean this in the post positive way I can : your music hits the ADHD JUST right. There's good layers in there. the beat keeps me working, the top melody keeps my brain tickled. The change in the tone inspires a narrative, without distracting from my current project.
love your work, thank you for sharing this with us
Could you possibly recommend more music like that for ADHD bros out there?
After all this time
You are finally back with more bangers
Hell yeah
Never tired of you, Mittsies. I'm sad I just found this album just today after almost a year. Still love it, you are truly one of my inspirations
I think I've listened to this album from start to finish at least 5 or 6 times since it popped up on my TH-cam feed today. Freaking amazing!
It's quite addictive isn't it? I had to hear it countless times while working on it, and yet I'm still not tired of it.
@@Mittsies Giga Chad mentality
This is, in fact, very impressive work. Vanripper sure can draw attention in general feed, and once one clicks, there is no way back, music just gravitate all attention to itself. Glorious experience. Thank you.
YOO, and Vanripper made the cover. Awesome duo you to are
I don't know what am I writing exactly, but let's name it my "love letter to your music"
I am a person, that was born in the years of hyping The Prodigy music in 2000x. All my childhood I grow in the house where every single part of my small family was listening to his own genre of music: elder brother listened to black metal and synth/EDM music. My mama listened to intense Indian and French mixes of different songs. All that sound had very vivid pulsing rhythms and no wonder that at my teens I found myself in breakdance until some kind of physical trauma.
Then I changed my profile and started to exercise in drawing/arts. It was my passion, cuz I could literally visualise the music and beats that I listened before. Breakdancing people were so dynamic and cool to draw from my memories(yeah, dats right, I draw without any "references", just canvas and brushes despite the fact that I did this in CG. So my fantasy was working fully getting the main inspiration from music in my headphones.
And god bless you. It was the only time I liked hyped thing SO much: Helltaker inspired me to draw more but what is more important is that I discovered this channel with the full discography that will be attached to different periods of my life: Naga, Tandem album, TOWER(!!!!), Morningstar, REGISTRY(!!!!!), Sanctuary and of course Vitality. I don't see this song as meme or Helltaker related(although it is the way I found it). This is a separate work of art that gives me a slightly perceptible feeling of loneliness in the good sense of the word and also makes my heart shiver and almost making me cry every time I hear it.
I can describe every song detailed(Does it gonna be interesting?)
All this prelude was said just to say:
Ledgehugger is SO emotionally-related to me.
And also your songs are a huge part of my real human life.
And right now after dance and art I do study in sound design college. Started to listen to popular music, but hear only individual sounds under the filters. This is not the case with your music. You put a lot of love into it.
Sincery your Alex

I can't stop linking this to people; It really is an amazing treat. I especially like Floodlights, Voidreckon, and Horizon myself.
Certainly a lot of people have appreciated a break from Christmas music, with the timing here and all.
Mittsies, I love your stuff. I can just put your repertoire on repeat and do whatever - games, programming, work, dishes, anything. There's no song where I need to be like "meh... skip.." because while some songs are great, all of them are good.
This new album is a great sci-fi addition! Digging it! 🐿🤘🏼
It was important to me that every album on this track felt like "the one". When I listen to other albums, I often find myself enjoying some but not all of the tracks... so when I made Voidreckon, I wanted a short track list where every single song was integral to the overall vibe of the album. I've said it before, if you asked me to pick a favorite, I don't think I could. This album is really meant to be listened to as one whole package.
my thoughts exactly. I recently discovered this and it just sounds great with anything.
@Mittsies Hmm.. yeah, it is more like one song with different movements (even if they can be very distinct) than an album.
So I'd say mission accomplished there.

I definitely agree. Each song is great in its own way. People keep saying the album is sci-fi... Which... okay? But I wouldn't say so. Stranded seems to be greatly inspired by the sea, for instance - at least that's the vibe i'm receiving. The first time i listened to the album, I just sat there in the darkness with my eyes closed and just this beautiful music... Keep up the good work.
Hell yeah! Puts a smile on my face to see you and Vanripper still collaborating after all this time.
Sir, ten years ago I could never imagine that this day would come
I'm really happy for you that you can persist in creating for such a long time
You have maintained your passion, creativity and public appreciation in many areas, which is really valuable
I will definitely spend a lot of time listening to this album in the future
You have always been the role model that inspires me to creative
I really hope that one day I can also reach the height you are today
I sincerely wish you continued success in the future, no matter when and where you are
I use Deepl translation, I hope you understand me correctly
I understood. Thanks!
Braincell and especially Phantom gave me Hotline Miami vibes. There's something special about those squeaky/springy instruments that fade in and out. Amazing album, and congratulations on 100k!
For me braincell sound like a mix between FTL and hotline miami soundtrack and i absolutly love that
Braincell reminds me more of My Friend Pedro. But i'll agree with Phantom.
Painkiller goes really dirty
This was an awesome premier. I can't possibly pick a fav but I can say that "stranded" gave me great nostalgia, like playing flash games in the past and such.
Thanks for another great release Mittsies, hoping for many more bangers to come
Also merry early christmas and early happy new year everyone!!
for some reason, every time i tune in and hear floodlights as the opening track for the album, how it starts instantly mesmerizes me into that space feel. and the tracks that follow do nothing else but cement that feeling
your music is awesome, mittsies!
Been listening to you since 2013, glad you've picked up more than a niche little following after Helltaker. You used to kick my ass in Mordhau a few years back.
Mordhau was a lot of fun, haha
This album is one of the extremely rare things in my life that generates a very unique cozy vibe. Especially with the song Phantom.
Playing this in my room makes my room feel like a well-protected spaceship where I can just kick back and relax while outside is pandemonium. Kinda like the ship in FTL or Starbound, or cyclops in Subnautica. Especially fitting after arriving home from work.
The more I listen to Mittsies, the more I lose myself in the harmony and melodies that Mittsies has produced which leaves me astounded and yearning for another listen.
I wasn't planning on listening to the whole thing in one go, and yet here we are. Love it.
Damn this album is a awesome culmination of different experiences of edm. Herizon goes hard in the paint but I really love the whole album. Great Job Mittsies. Hope you have a merry christmas!
I signed in on my work computer just to let you know that this hits all my auditory-kinesthetic synesthesia nerves like a fucking bullseye. Good work.
As many others have said, this would go awesome with a roguelike. Excellent work as always!!
A full on album?? With Vanripper art?? What more could we ask for!
Amazing music mittsies ❤
Deep Rock Galactic and Hotline Miami banged their beats together and out came a MITTSIES album? This is dope.
19:25 Holy COW the YTTD vibes here are insane
Holy shit I knew that this sounded somewhat familiar just couldn't get what it was, this makes it so clear
@@terra20209 YTTD?
@@terra20209 yesss
@@L337playing Yes, its a game named Your Turn to Die. Idk if it's canon it be an horror game, but have an similar vibe with another franchise named Danganronpa. Include a bit of mystery, deaths, choices, different routes and personal experience; there's no gore or smth like tho.
You can search for more, if interests you.
I must've listened to this entire album at least 20 times. It's really great to have on while writing and playing games, or even just while commuting or traveling. Each of the numbers have their own vibe, but I feel Horizon has become my go-to out of all of them.
I could listen to this over and over and over and... You get the point. Thanks for the amazing tunes!
I've been listening to this album to and from work every drive since I bought it a week ago. Simply sublime electronic music.
This is so good. From front to back the theming is cohesive and amazing. Each song oozes your style, yet each feels so much more continuous progressing as they go on. So much went into this and I absolutely love it.
I've been playing a ton of No Man's sky lately, and then SUDDENLY you drop SPACE BANGERS?! I love this happy coincidence, and this will now be the soundtrack for the rest of my playthrough lmao
Keep it up with the absolute bangers, Mittsies!
Ledgehugger was a brilliant climax to the album! Absolutely loving it.
I was drawn in by the thumbnail,
I was surprised by the actual content,
but not disappointed.
This album is a banger.
I need more stuff like this
I've been listening to this album every day for like a month because, on top of just being S tier music, it so badly makes me want to go play or watch or go experience something that matches it. Obviously something space themed but something action or adventure focused because the music gives that feeling of wanting to go see majestic sights but also go knock some teeth out. I also think that the first and last tracks are positively sublime, Floodlights gives this feeling of introduction and setting out on something (plus I just like listening to it the most) and Ledgehugger gives this feeling of some final conflict, finally getting back home, and being able to finally lay down in bed for the first time in ages and look back out at the stars ready for that next adventure. I don't have such concrete feelings on the other tracks but they all feel very distinct and yet flow together effortlessly. I also can't get the image of being in orbit around some planet with a ring system and looking back up at those rings while listening to this album out of my head. The entire album makes my mind race with individual little thoughts, stories, and scenes in a way very few other pieces or collections of music do, it feels like a very special project made a talented musician and I'm glad it exists.
it work well with FTL
No Man's Sky could fit your vision
A full ablum!? In this economy!?
I love that video games are an avenue through which talented artists can be found. Mittsies with Helltaker, Meganeko with Ultrakill, DM Dokuro with Calamity Mod. That's not to say these artists are nameless before the game, but that both the artist and the game grow through the experience they put out for people.
I may have found Mittsies through a video game about dating demon women, but the quality of the music kept me around
In some ways, I suppose this album was to showcase that I can make something that really holds up on its own without needing to be attached to anything in particular.
Отличный альбом!Музыка прям пропитана энергией и холодом космоса одновременно.Работа дойстойная похвалы.
Фулл есть?

YESS, that's amazing! I feel like falling through clouds, just enjoying the atmosphere . It hits so good, well done! I love it.
This was my introduction to Mittsies. What a great album, absolutely wonderful to listen to as a collection. The video artwork and subtle changes throughout were just icing on the cake.
this shit is so good while doing programming
Don't forget the socks.
Oh my god yes. I have been listening to this while programming for the past 4 months.
@@Mittsies nice reference
@@user-mn8lz7gf6dSorry, but what does that mean?
@@lasajnae9626 Look up "programming socks"
This album goes so hard while playing Satisfactory. It is not even funny how productive this makes me during a session.
Played like 6 hours on loop without even noticing. Yes, this album is that good.
Awesome job Mittsies!
I somehow didn't realize you had a bandcamp, bought it now! Already excited to listen to it in its fullest quality
Voidreckon by Mittsies is now one of my favorites go-to albums when I'm programming. That squirrel, Mittsies, has some strange powers to make my day. Big preesh!
I've listened to this album like 20 times now. Great job
I just wanna thank you for providing the world with the best missing pieces of electronic music. Also, the last track `Ledgehugger` and `Voidreckon` are the tracks with the chillist vibes that I heard all month! Like they feel so nostalgic, futuristic, yet so chill at the same time; it confuses my neurons I feel like they are from another world. I cannot even describe it in English anymore. It is just.. awesome.
something about that suit makes me really want to try to 3d model it, it just looks so simple but still complex to model it, it makes me want to 3d model that suit, on top of that, this album is amazing
That sounds like fun, you should do it~
Go for it, that is great idea!
yoooo new mittsies album!
+ bonus smug squirrel gal. Hope we get more of her! And more music!
This is my most recent obsession, such a great album. Phantom and Stranded are my favorite tracks.
Seriously man, great job!
The jim raynor + squirrel skull is just so COOL lmao
Yeah I had to throw in a lil' Starcraft reference. Was a very influential game for me.
Super cute Space Squirrel there!
And the music is epic, too.
Thank you so much for keeping up the hard work.
Every song got that special "Mittsies" awesome vibe but it feels fresh and unique.
Braincell really boops with the bass, I love it.
Thanks for the comment. You may not be able to support me financially, but you can always share my work with your friends.
28:56 Is having me feel some type of way, its soo good. Thanks for such a handful experience with this album
Listening to this album gets better every time, somehow. First time I liked it but now I love it which is honestly pretty rare and very impressive, good work Mittsies!
I started to listen this like at 0:10 am and still listening to it. So much vibe! AWESOME!
Awesome Album , so good had to buy the album.
After 10 Years following this is still another awesome masterpiece.
Hey Mitts', you probably will never see this message but anyway, I wanted to say that i'm grateful for your musics, they followed me since June 2023 when I was - for some reason - thinking about helltaker again . I was like damn, never realised how good the music was, then I went to your channel and WOW, I immediately fell in love with your musics ❤. I haven't stopped listening to it since lol, Whenever I was studing, playing chess, running etc ... I was often listening your songs. So ... I just wanted to say that I'm grateful for your work and that I'll probably keep listening to them forever . Fly high my little squirrel ❤❤🐿🐿💫💫. Edit : It's been a year and yeah, I'm still listening to your songs lol. I can't wait for your next album !
Gods this sounds like the OST for a god-tier metroidvania.
Maybe someone will make a game to use my music in.
@@MittsiesAlmost as if that's happened before... 🤔
I listened to the entire album, I really liked the songs, that retro cyberpunk and ambient style, it's like I was listening to the soundtrack of a video game, great job bro!
I am a simple man, I see Mittsies Anime girls and the promise of good music in the thumbnail, I click.
Now this space -inspired stuff, that hits the spot.
A Christmas present to behold...
Glad to know Mittsies is still making bangers.
I've replayed this like a hundred times already ....
I freaking love it
I love this album so much! Thank you! I listen to it like 12 times a week, can't wait for more from you!
This whole album slaps. Thank you for your amazing work as always!
Nice beats!
~
On March 26th 2022,
just past midnight,
I was restless in bed,
my limbs became numb & tingly,
my chest became tight,
& my heart felt like it was being crushed.
So I sang out to God and Jesus,
about my pain, my feelings,
my faults and my inabilities.
As I sang, I began to feel like a river,
& a hand was on my back,
it's fingers where skimming the surface of the waters,
separating the waters,
causing ripples through my body.
Then the hand reached inside my chest,
lit my heart on fire,
& the heat moved like waves through my body.
When I was done singing,
all the pain was gone,
& I looked at the clock,
it was past 1am,
I had sang near an hour.
Then the voice of my guardian angel called my name from above,
& there was a hymn of energy in the air,
the same hymn I hear in my dreams of God.
Glory, Honor, blessings, thanks and praise to the Lord my God,
for healing my heart during a heart attack!
Hallelujah to the Lord my God for healing my heart!
Hallelujah for His son Jesus for saving my soul!
Hallelujah for every day!
Hallelujah for every breath!
The Lord is Faithful and true!
May the Lord Bless your hearts,
so that you have the will and strength to turn from selfish sins,
and flee from the slaveries of the flesh!
I've been buying and listening to your music for years at this point, and you just DO. NOT. MISS!
Every time you release a song or album I find at least a few reasons to go back and listen to them a few times for myself, or just have them on in the background. Stratum is where I got my start, and Mittsies, if that actually means anything to you at this point you already know where I heard it first.
I love ya dude, keep makin kick ass music!
Voidreckon is one hell of a drug
With multiple listens and the art portrayals into each song it's enough to interpret a direction of space horror/survival, which would fit for an amazing animation
The voidreckon track itself is an absolute banger
i put this on the background while i grinded some games...
it made it so much better, i didn't expect these bangers
Кайф. Не будь бы я бомжом я б её даже купил, а это с учётом того что музыку я никогда не покупаю запредельно.
This is my introduction to Mittsies, I love it! Subbed and followed on Bandcamp!
8 tracks in 8 months, this album is out of this world that it got me rejuvenated and vibing to his musical prowess! Gonna be listening to this for the upcoming New Year!
EDIT: Cheers to you all! Goodbye to 2022, and say hello to 2023!
Floodlights is giving me MAJOR Faster Than Light vibes and I can't get enough of it.
ngl it feels like a story just by reading the names on the songs and the artworks help too i would just have qualified the last one ( ledgehugger ) an illusion before dead ( phantome and stranded ) oh good memories :D
There was definitely a story in my head as I made these tracks, and I think the video helps present those ideas while still leaving it up to viewer intepretation.
@@Mittsies legehugger -> cliffhanger. bravo on the wordplay
it's like Infected Mushroom sometimes, love it
I'd say their Return to the Sauce album (Continuous Mix) and this album have the same retro sci-fi vibes :p
Bunnyside of Future Downtown (FurryJoA 2023 Theme Music Album) also has similar vibes :D
Congratulations on your 100K subscribers, Mittsies!
Held out on making a comment since this dropped, but man... This is some of the best electronic music I've heard the past decade. Some high quality and top notch stuff right here
Still remember the first time I heard a Mittsies song in a deviantart game and was blown away, only to find there were many many more where that came from! My favorite music period.
