    Producers from the mid 90’s are calling. They want their hit back.

    kinda reminds me of MGMT! I love how easy you make this look, just throw some sounds around and end up with this masterpiece...

    to be honest i think id like it a little more if the vocals werent so processed. but it is still interesting and im sure a lot of people enjoy that type of sound. It might just be because the vocals are a little loud in the mix. either way nice tune.

    I think both your creativity and music are amazing. How you manage to make Major keys sound dark, and songs in minor keys sound bright, I don’t know 🤷🏽‍♂️? But I think it’s genius. Learning a lot from you, specially how to look at harmony in general.
    Keep up the great work!

    This tune is quite neat and it clearly illustrate how to use a synth as an effect. But in the same time, all the sounds, except the vocal, could also be achieved using only the synth. Could you explain why you chose the first solution instead of the latter?
