EP of two tracks
1. Struggle For Life
2. Who Are You

Struggle For Life has been played by John 00 Fleming, Solarstone and Enlusion. Can be heard at least from here (hopefully the video goes directly to around 57mins mark). Personally I think this is damn good.

Should be out at the end of February.

Lovely stuff too. The acid and nice little breaks section 👍🏼

Watery lead is a little weak/lacks variation for me but overall enjoyed it

Struggle For Life is something special!

Haven't checked the other one out yet, but certainly will.

Update: 'Who Are You' is a big record as well !

Yeah pretty nice, both of them. But just can't suppress this feeling that they could've been even better sped up.

I must say first I was positively minded when I heard the sample, but after a more careful listen through the whole track (struggle of life). It just doesnt deliver. The foundation is too simple and too samey throughout the lenght of the track. Theres no valleys or peaks or lows. Its just chugging along in a very repetitiv manner. Its too slow, the bassline is boring, the percussion overall is ploddy and overly simple. He just added a pad melody and a supersaw lead a-b-a-b section. In other words- no magic. AND no Movement

I think it was on purpose to make these quite repetitiv and simple....its about the tension and atmospheres in these types of tracks, so its perfectly ok for me....

Now I have heard the full versions of both I much prefer Struggle For Life, which I love. Who Are You lost something for me, although I cant put my finger on it.

Struggle For Life
