also i just thought this bit just describes exactly what i love hearing in tunes
Compa wrote: When it comes to characteristics, as far as my music goes, typically I concentrate on an atmosphere, before a strong sub-bass foundation, and from there I build drums that tend to always sound slightly different, and occasionally try and introduce mid-range frequencies and subtle rhythmic elements. That’s me.
“Compa - Security/Cold Weather (Area Recordings)
Two classic bits of ‘dungeon sound’, ultra sparse and full of horror movie detail as they creep and crawl forward. But both these tracks have something distinctive going on, too, a fizzy tickle in the high end that sparkles like jewels in the shadows. Extremely promising stuff.
