The Harvest Moon

The most forward, club-leaning cut of the batch: ~117 BPM with a higher average level and a more present “hold” on the room. It still avoids peak theatrics—no cheap drops—but it reads as the moment the set tightens up and steps toward standard deep-house tempo. Use it to lift energy while keeping the hypnotic lane intact: steady arc, minimal event structure, and a system-forward stance that can carry a floor without shouting. A practical end-cap for this batch’s tempo climb. Background: Today (09.27.15) marks this year's harvest moon rising in north america. http://www.almanac.com/content/shine-harvest-moon Outside of the science, this is the first track I've produced using Elektron's new Overbridge technology. It was a breeze to track both A4 and RYTM as a Jam session in one pass as individual tracks into Ableton Live all without a soundcard and just 2 usb cables using the Elektron supplied Control Panel and VST plugins. I'd say the quality is just fine (44.1khz 16bit for what my computer was able to handle). These were the only two instruments used in the entire track. After the long jam session, I simply edited things down, added some EQ, compression and a few return fx (reverbs, delay) to polish off the mix. I hope you enjoy the results of this simple diddy while looking up into the sky. [Elektron Analog Four and RYTM]
