Naden returns to EDM Recordings with Melancholiac, a subtle yet powerful successor to his previous release, Journey. Drawing on the elements that made Hiraeth an introspective treasure, Melancholiac's sonic construct delves deep into the producer's innate gift for crafting thought provoking melodies and delicate yet blistering basslines. Naden introduces soft, gated synths that infuse the track with an atmosphere of suspense, building up to a hands-in-the-air drop with a scorching saw synth, delivering another stellar showcase of the Norwegian's raw musical talent. Brace yourself for an unparalleled auditory experience, as Melancholiac is ready to shake you up with another fantastic addition to the Naden catalog.

Mods, I can't see blue "OUT" flag option while creating this topic, was it removed? 😳
Yes, yes it was. The OUT prefix is OUT. We felt it was no longer necessary - lots of old threads aren't updated with the OUT status (meaning it's pointless in a majority of cases), there isn't an automatic process to update those and us admins and mods simply can't keep up.

that's how you degrade as a producer when going outcast and sticking to one bedroom label for years.

these drums are something you can come up with when running FL Studio for the first time. literally can't believe they're that bad

I've listened to it 30 times today, I probably like it :) This is not a degradation of the producer, but a desire to do what he likes and not follow the lead of Top labels to do as they are told, there are enough good sound engineers now, and you can count good musicians on your fingers...

I usually hate these kinda dry/snappy drums but here they arent as clicky/clean/overly prounounced so i dont care about them too much as its the soundscapes/melodies thats the focus. I usually dont like Nadens sound as they leans to the 2008-2014 deadmau5 arty anjuna trance 2.0 stuff but this one has a nice cold evolving atmosphere. Also like the bassline.

still just an above decent track for me...like a 5.7/10
