Hey everyone!
Hope you're all doing alright! Before I get into talking about the artwork, I should mention that today marks the release of one of my older records, Rotti, on vinyl! Tiger Blood Tapes is taking care of this one, and they'll be doing cassettes too, of course!

Alright, now that I got that out of the way... Here's the cassette de...
Hey Rotti patrons!
I'll try to not write too much since I just got on my bus and I don't want to get too sick... Here's the next compilation track in lossless! In my MP3 post I mentioned why I personally chose this track, which you can read here:

Hey everyone! Happy Friday!
I'm currently writing this post on my phone while in line for a greyhound. Now that the pandemic's dying down, I've been making more of an effort to travel around! Being stuck inside for weeks on end is not my style... So I'm taking a trip to New York for a couple days to see some family I haven't seen in over a year! That being said, I am typing all this on a phone so hopefully I don't make any typos!
Anyway, this week I'm sharing another track f...

Hey everyone!
So I've had most of my streams saved to my computer with the idea of editing them down to around half the length and posting them to my Youtube channel. However, as I got to work on these I realized just how much work editing an hour-and-a-half long stream consists of... As a result, I've had these videos collecting dust on my hard drive. So now I'm figuring, well, might as well share the entire stream for those who are interested!
I occasionally get asked about when ...
Hey Rotti patrons!
Glad to finally have another exclusive post up for you guys, it's been a while! Here's Mélonade's new compilation track in lossless! I wrote a lot for the MP3 post for this track, so I think I'll just share that info here. Here's a bit of backstory into the thought process behind curating these tracks!
When I gave out the original prompt for the kinds of tracks I was looking for on this compilation, the requirement of having less of a reliance on ...
Hey everyone! Happy Friday!
Here's a track from the upcoming Notilde Tapes compilation, Music for Streaming!
When I gave out the original prompt for the kinds of tracks I was looking for on this compilation, the requirement of having less of a reliance on samples than usual was a bit of a gamble. Most of the artists on the Notilde Tapes roster are known for their sample manipulation and mastery of everything plunderphonics. Still, for the sake of having some nice, copyright-free tun...
Hey everyone!
We now have the full artwork for the next Notilde tapes compilation, Music For Streaming! As I mentioned in my pre-hiatus sketch post, this piece is full of easter eggs alluding to every artist featured. Here's an updated list!
Easter eggs:
Mélonade - Watermelon on the ground
Chance De La Soul - Figurine on the table of his character
Pop Up! - Ice cream in Mere's hand
Moka Yume - Poster on the wall
Doktor Plekter - His vet character and tape on the top...
Hey everyone!
As promised, here's the full 7D live set! I streamed this one about a month ago, and now it's all here for your streaming pleasure!
As I was streaming this set live for a VR Chat audience, I tried to fill it full of recognizable Future Funk and modern French House jams. I also tried to keep the energy up high through most of it, in order to keep the audience moving. I believe this set is actually my longest mix so far, as usually all of my other mixes have been 20-30 m...
Hey everyone!
I had some time to work on music and take a breather, and now I'm ready to get back into the swing of things! I feel refreshed and ready to give the Patreon my full attention once again!
Now that we're back, I have decided to make some changes. I'll still be uploading new music every Friday, but I'll also be sharing live sets on Fridays as well. And as always, I'll be sharing music from my label, Notillde Tapes. This will help me uphold my schedule of getting new, qua...
Hey everyone!
Had to think about this post for a while. I figured it'd best to be completely honest with all of you about my current situation, so I have some news that might be a bit disappointing for some...
To make a long story short, I found out Monday that I'll have to be moving out of my current house in very short notice. I was planning on taking the summer to focus on my Patreon and other music endeavors, but this added hurdle is pretty overwhelming. I've lived in my current...
Hey everyone!
Here's some more progress on the cover for the next Notilde Tapes compilation!
Unfortunately, the artist had a few issues with his art program crashing over the past week so we're still in the sketch phase. In this version though, you can see a few more cool details that weren't in the previous picture. Mainly, we got around to including some of the label artists in the picture!
Here are the easter eggs:
Mélonade - Watermelon on the ground

Hey everyone!
Here's the full resolution album art for the single me and Ev are releasing on Friday! The cover was drawn by Ev.exi himself!
As we finalized the track and came up with the name "Galetus" (a reference to our good friend Fibre), we decided that a space theme would be the best choice for the cover art. Fibre has a fascination with exploring space themes in his artwork and music, and we wanted to pay tribute to that. We had a few different orientations to choose from... ...
Hey Rotti patrons!
Here's the new record I've been developing in lossless!
I didn't mention this in the MP3 post, but I should mention that Pop Up! was a huge influence when I put this record together. Pop up convinced me that I should get these tracks together into a cohesive LP. He also helped me choose where the tracks should go and which ones to leave out.
I actually have a whole list of things I want to move around and change for the songs in this list. I might send this group o...
Hey everyone!
I was going to post one new track from the album I'm working on, but I decided to instead just show you guys everything I have so far. I present to you my new record: Downtempo!
I shared most of these tracks with you all previously, so here's an update on how I'm sequencing them for the album! I also added in a few new tracks, namely the intro and the second to last track, Summer.
You can download the MP3s here:

The next Notilde Tapes compilation is coming together nicely! I thought I'd share an update for the album art, which will consist of me streaming with Notilde Tapes merch littered around my little office...
Just in case some of the newer patrons aren't aware: our next compilation for the Notilde tapes label will be Music for Streaming: a compilation of tracks meant for Youtubers and Twitch streamers to use without fear of copyright strikes! All the tracks are made up ...
Hey Rotti patrons!
As mentioned in the MP3 post, this week I have a whole game to share with you all! As a bonus, I'll be giving you guys the soundtrack in lossless format in addition to the game! I hope you guys enjoy it, as it was a lot of fun to work on these tunes with Kekitopu and Starbirbz.
You can play the game here - https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/793049
Enjoy the game and so...
Hey everyone! Happy Friday!
I have something pretty cool to share with you guys this week! I present to you all: Keki Cake! This is a new game I worked on with some of my closest friends. It's pretty simple and we just went ahead and made it for fun this week!
Attached for you guys is both the MP3 of the soundtrack and the game itself! For now, the game is only on Newgrounds, so consider this a cool Patreon exclusive. I also don't plan on posting the soundtrack until later, so enjoy...
Hey Rotti patrons!
Here's a little something extra for this week: the lossless recording from my Solanin test pressing! This should give you a good idea of how the record's going to sound after the release on Wave Racers Collective! I should note that the pressing was on a standard black record, and the final release will be on the colored record on the thumbnail, so it might not be 100% accurate. But realistically it should be pretty close!
Take care everyone! Enjoy the recording, ...
Hey everyone!
I have something a little wild for you guys today.
I recently got my hands (paws) on the test pressing for the Solanin LP with Wave Racers Collective! Thought it'd be fun to give a little sneak peak of how it's sounding. Honestly, getting this record made has been kind of a miracle in my eyes, given how I was only 17 when I got this record made. There's a lot of weird mixing choices I made during that time, and I'm amazed WRC were able to translate the music into vinyl re...
Hey Rotti Patrons!
Here's my latest downtempo jam in WAV!
I finished this track at around 4AM last night, which is when I made the MP3 post for it. I should have figured that as ramifications for staying up so late, I'd be passed out for most of the day... Hence why the lossless post is going up now!
Anyway, as I mentioned in the MP3 post, this track is the manifestation of all the chill trip hop jams I've been into as of late. I pretty much already have a full EP of this kind of...
Hey everyone, Happy Friday!
We've been getting a few new patrons this week, so welcome everybody! I hope you guys enjoy your stay! I have a few new mixes planned to share with you guys along with the weekly tracks, so look forward to that.
This week's track is a little more chilled out, as promised in last week's post! I've been listening to a lot of downtempo / Trip Hop kinda stuff recently, so I suppose it was only a matter of time before that influence seeped into my music! I've ...
Hi everyone!
Here's a little gift I prepared ahead of time for you guys! I just put together this mix for fun, and I'm thinking of sharing a few more of these over the next few weeks, just to give you guys something extra every week as thanks for the support. I've been listening to a lot of new music since the last Meremix, and I think this is also a nice way to share my finds.
Enjoy the tunes!

Hey Rotti Patrons!
So if you haven't seen this week's MP3 post, I'd recommend checking it out since it doubled as an announcement!

I mostly talked about the new Discord server and didn't go into the track as much on the MP3 post, so I'll give a bit of insight on what I was going for here! I've mentioned before that I'm working on ...
Hey everyone! Happy... Saturday!
So. I pulled a bit of an all nighter! And if you have Discord linked to your Patreon account, you should be able to see the fruits of my labor!
That's right:
The Notilde Tapes Discord is now open for Patrons!
I believe that most of you have been added automatically due to Patreon's automatic discord integration, which I wasn't expecting. But hey, it's good to have you guys in there! You should have automatically been assigned...
Hey Rotti Patrons!
Phew. I'm pretty exhausted. Just finished all my assignments and I gotta get ready for the Mélonade release tomorrow! But before I sign off for the night, I wanted to make sure you guys got your weekly track!
Here's the Doktor Plekter collab I cooked up this week for the next Notilde Tapes compilation! As I mentioned in the update earlier this week, you guys are hearing this track about a month or two early, as the compilation is set to release most likely in ear...
Hey everyone! Happy Friday!
If you tuned into my Wednesday stream, you might have heard me work on this one for a bit! This track is meant to be a part of an upcoming compilation for my label, by the name of "Music for Streaming!" All tracks for this compilation will be sample free, or at least feature minimal samples in order to adhere by copyright rules.
Originally I was planning to make a track from scratch (which I'll probably still do), but as I was planning my track out, D...
Hey everyone!
I haven't written an update in a while, due to being slammed with work and school. Well, as I mentioned in my last update, I actually recently quit my day job! All the time I used to spend at work I can use to keep you guys up to date instead. So I'll let you guys in on what I've been up to and my future plans!
I haven't announced these plans anywhere else, so you'll be getting the inside scoop first!

Hi Rotti patrons!
It's Friday again, so here's the lossless version of the weekly track + some extra fun facts!
I'll start with mentioning that while this is currently the final mix of the song, I actually do want to expand on it a bit for my album. Right now the song has a lot going on, with a crazy amount of distinct sections and chops. I think of it as a "radio edit" in its current form.
Here's how I've structured the track:
Section 1 (intro):
0:00 - 0:42

Hi everyone! Happy Friday!
For this week's song I'll be sharing the final mix of a track made in collaboration with Ev.exi! I've gone into detail on Ev's influence on my music before, so I won't go into it again here. There's a lot to talk about here regardless!
Patrons who have heard the previous version of this track will notice the addition of a brand new climax! I decided to give the song a proper buildup around the two minute mark by doing some guitar work and messing aroun...
Hey Rotti patrons!
Here's the lossless version of my new track!
As you all know, I like to write something unique for you guys, so I thought I'd share my influences for this track. I've been listening to a lot of DJ Shadow recently, since I really love his production. Dj Shadow worked on an album that I've been listening to a lot recently, that being Unkle - Psyence Fiction. This album has some really beautiful string sections which I'm incredibly jealous of. I always thought strin...
