Patreon Exclusive 14: 'Bop - UP65 (Kemal Remix)' 🥊

This is probably one of my proudest Patreon exclusives: a raw and experimental remix of my 65th pattern by the one & only Kemal! His music has been a massive influence on me since the early 2000s, and I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to do a remix swap with him. This one is very techy and gritty but also quite 'braindancy' (at least for me), and it will definitely take you on a hell of a journey 🛸

Hope you enjoy it!

Live Production Stream / 20 May 2024 / 17:00 UTC

P. S. there will be another stream on 30 May with something a bit more interactive I think

Next Stream: When?

Hey everyone, hope you are alright!

When should I do the next stream? Lmk by choosing from the dates below please 🐸

Any suggestions for the stream topic are welcomed as always. For now, I'm thinking about 'synthesis of the sounds you send' or I can show you how I make my mastering.

Samples x Presets Pack 13: DUB TECHNO 🌈

Yooo, the new pack is ready and it's all about mighty DUB TECHNO CHORDS ☁️

May the power of minor triads and detuned saws be with your mixes :)

Cheers

Patreon Exclusive 13: 'Abstract Elements - Blurtnawt' 👺

Yo! This month's exclusive is a track I produced with Diagram under our Abstract Elements alias. Originally released on Meth Lab five years ago, it's been offline for a while since the label ceased operations. The track features a unique blend of ambient Bladerunner vibes, microfunk, and some wonky halfstepy weirdness.

Have some interesting remixes scheduled for the next couple of months, stay tuned!

Much love,

Bop

Random Stream: making jungle with Amiga sampler 💾

Yes Patrons, I’m about to start a random stream, going to experiment with jungle rhythms and that new Amiga sampler emulator, feel free to join or watch later.

We’ll still have a normal stream later this month for questions and stuff so don’t worry about missing this one :)

Video content poll 🎥

Hi Patrons!

I've been thinking about video content and would love to know your opinion on it - what type of videos you'd like to see from me in the future? I would be grateful if you could answer the poll below or drop a comment :3

Thank you very much

Samples x Presets Pack 12 🥦

Hello everyone!

Apologies for the delay with the March pack, it's finally here! In this episode:

• 8 patches for Serum & Massive: ethereal ambient pads and chaosy leads

• 20 airy pads-samples to fill your mix with a nice static background

• 40 digitally degraded one-shots, as I still think it's the future of post-lo-fi-nostalgia music

As always, happy to take requests for the next pack.

Enjoy and have a wonderful week ✌️

Patreon Exclusive 12: 'Bop x Nuage - End of Blossom' 🥀

How's everyone feeling?

This month's exclusive is a previously vinyl-only track by Nuage and me, released on Microfunk Music in 2020. It's a warm but quite melancholic downtempo piece. For me, this song is about the bittersweet feelings that come with the end of something beautiful. It's about being thankful it was part of our lives, yet feeling sad about having to let it go.

Hope you enjoy!

Much <3

Stream 12 / 20 March / 17:00 UTC 📺

Hey folks, hope you had a great weekend!

Gonna go live this Wednesday at 17:00 UTC. Many of you agreed that it would be interesting to just see my usual creative process. So this time I've decided to start a tune from scratch and stream with minimal to no speaking, so you can see how my track-creation happens.

Feel free to tune in online or watch later.

See ya 🐙

Got any requests for the next one? Drop it in the comments! 🤓

Patreon Exclusive 11: 'Monsters In My House' 🐲

This month's exclusive is a track I wrote back in 2012 inspired by one of my favourite childhood NES games. It's an 8-minute four-to-the-floor voyage through chiptune melodies and tons of unnecessary reverb :) 

Hope you enjoy!

See you in a bit <3 

Patreon Exclusive 10: 'Idea' 💡

Hey everyone, hope you are having a great new year!

For this month’s exclusive, I dug deep into my early works from the 2007-2008 period. ‘Idea’ was written around the same time or a bit earlier than ‘Clear Your Mind’ LP and could have been part of the album. However, it ended up being released on the Sonorous Digital label as part of the ‘Universum’ EP.

Unfortunately, the label no longer functions, and its entire digital discography vanished into oblivion a while ago so I decided to share it with you here. Btw the track was also played by Coldcut in one of their shows, and I remember being really proud of that :)

The whole EP is attached to this post, hope you enjoy the simplicity and minimalism of it.

Cheers <3

Samples x Presets Pack 09 🥮

HNY everyone!

In this pack you'll find:

- 50 lo-fi drum one-shots, recorded straight from the real tape

- 20 drones/noises made using my new toy: RoAT by Soma Labs

- 5 Serum patches: leads & basses

Thank you very much for your support this year, means a lot to me!

See you in a bit 🎄

Hope you're feeling festive and up for a stream next week? Let me know what date would you prefer.

I plan to show you one of my projects and maybe speak about some useful plugins I discovered recently, but as always let me know if you have any suggestions for the topics to cover.

Happy holidays and see you soon <3

Samples x Presets Pack 08 ❄️

Apologies for the delay, Patrons, here is what you'll find on latest month's pack:

- ten 170bpm endless pad-loops, easy & fast way to fill your tracks with atmo-backgound

- one-shot bass wob-wobs and stabs + drum-loops

- patches for Serum & Massive: siren-fxes, wonky leads, vintage pads & a bassline

Hope you enjoy it,

Have a lovely weekend 🫖

Stream 08 / 30 November 18:00 UTC

Heya, hope you're doing alright!

I realized recently that I only start sketches on streams but never actually finish them, and I'm going to change it this Thursday on the stream. Would be happy to share techniques that work for me and curious to learn how you deal with that essential part of the creative process.

See you in a bit 👽🖖

Patreon Exclusive 08: 'Higher Dimension VIP' 👽

Yo, this month's exclusive is a VIP version of our minimal space roller written with Subwave called 'Higher Dimension'. Used it a lot last year as a set opener, hope you'll find a good use for it too.

Cheers

Samples x Presets Pack 07 📼

Hey everybody, hope you had a fun halloween!

I've been experimenting with tape loops lately with my fresh moded cassette recorder by 'battery operated' and you can clearly see it in this month's pack. I've recorded a bunch of lo-fi tape loops, distorted drums, and some random phrases I found on some old tapes.

As for patches - this month I've included some of the Massive patches from our tracks with Subwave 'Addicted 2 Space' & 'Rave I Didn't Know Was The Last', as well as some new presets for Serum.

Hope you enjoy it! 🫖

P.S. be aware that the voice phrases in this pack are from audiobooks and are probably copyrighted, there might be some issues with clearing them for a release (depends on a label), so use them at your own risk

P.P.S. as the tape loops pitch was changed by hand it is sometimes out of tune, you will find the approximate pitch difference between the 'real' pitch of the sample and the specified Key in cents in the title. For example, 'A#m-40cents' means that the sample is ±40 cents lower than A# minor.

Stream 07: a Spooky One / 30 October 18:00 UTC

Hey folks, anyone up for a stream next Monday?

We could go slightly darker this time and make some 'less nice than usual' electronica. I've been really into that new synth from Minimal Audio called 'Current' so gonna show you how I like to use it. 

Let me know in the comments if you would like to go with another date or you're happy with Monday.

Chat soon

Next pack poll 🆗

Hey everyone, just a quick poll about what type of presets / samples you would like to see in this month's pack? I would appreciate a lot if you would let me know what synth you prefer and leave a comment about samples-content :)
