It’s exciting to finally share my latest track, “The Grid Weaver,” which is now live on my YouTube channel. This release marks a significant milestone: it’s my fourth official track and a deep dive into the kind of hypnotic, driving tech house sound I’ve been trying to master.
The Concept: Deep Transit and Rhythmic Structure
When I started this track, I knew I wanted something that felt like a continuous, late-night journey—a feeling that initially led to the name “Deep Transit.” But as the rhythm and structure came together, I realised the track was less about the destination and more about the intricate, invisible system that holds the groove together. “The Grid Weaver” seemed to perfectly capture that idea of constructing a precise, complex electronic structure.
The Production Challenge
As many of you know, this journey is all about learning. With “The Grid Weaver,” my main goal was to improve two key areas:
- Hypnosis through Repetition: Tech house thrives on subtle, evolving elements. I focused heavily on sound design, using small changes in filter cutoff, delay feedback, and side-chain compression to keep the main loop driving forward without becoming repetitive or stale. Getting the balance right here was tricky!
- The Low End: Trying to get that kick drum and bassline locked in tight without cluttering the mix is always the hardest part. I spent a good amount of time in the mid-bass frequency range to ensure the track had that satisfying, physical weight without losing clarity on smaller speakers.
Why Release the Early Work?
I know these tracks aren’t perfect—far from it! But I genuinely believe it’s crucial to share these early steps.
- It’s a Public Log of Improvement: I want to look back a year from now and see how far I’ve come. And if you’re a beginner producer reading this, I hope it encourages you to finish and release your work, too! We all start somewhere, and the only way to get better is to get the music out there.
- Connecting with the Community: By sharing my learning process, I hope to connect with others who are passionate about electronic music and production. Your feedback (positive or critical!) is what helps me grow.
