I enjoy it anyway!

Very active and very pretty.

bright and sparkly with touches of teh idm. very nice and fresh

nice tension and resolve, too. damn there pal some tasty business!

great timbres. nice touches of editing.

this is fucking great.

just great. congrats!

oooooh, thanks a lot for the nice words.
i've been trying to make such a track for weeks, but all i ever came up sounded like shit so i deleted everything.
then this track was suddenly made in one afternoon...

btw.:
"raccoon" will be part of the 1st anniversary compilation of beatismurder.com. coming soon.

slappy delay smashes, gated up melodics, great mix, not quite knowing where it's going to go next = great! topstuff.

oh, i'm happy that you liked the mix.
i actually didn't do any real mixing. i used no EQs and stuff like that. it just sounded right the way it was.
i was very surprised myself...

Fun and skittery. Do you do all of the gating and granular decays in post? How intuitive is that? I always find automation of effects like this in post to be counter-intuitive.
Recent blogs: How do you do it?  

i use a couple of plugins (delay...) on send channels and draw automation curves of each track's send volume.
the gating is done manual by simply cutting the waveform blocks.
i like this way of working.

Great job yeah, Fantastic production, allthough in one afternoon :D! And I love the melody. I 'm not a fan of IDM without a melody! So this sounds great!!

Wich hard- or softwarez do u use?

i used a musicbox sampleset (downloaded somewhere in teh interwebz) in kontakt, a reaktor synth that i built myself, battery for the drums and protools LE plus its internal effects.
