Depression (Lucas 1986 Mixes)

Aron Orion

Collection of fresh BRAND NEW DANCE MIXES inspired by the 1986 film "Lucas" starring Corey Haim, Charlie Sheen, Kerri Green, and Winona Ryder!

As a kid, I always thought the scene where Lucas gets jealous of Cappie was stupid.. "If you're so depressed, how come you're eating pizza? GO, eat pizza.. don't let ME spoil your depression..." even though Lucas knew the answer already..

So yeah, 30 years later, decided to make a dance mix using that awful quote (was supposed to be like "Batdance" by Prince with Lucas stuff instead, but morphed into a Depeche Mode type dance track). But as usual, one mix became 2, then 5, then 10.....


Enjoy!!!

• TRIBAL SPIRIT starts out with slow, hypnotic percussions, evolving and building up until it peaks at the very end.
• FROZEN PATH stands out as highlight of the release with its prominent midrange stabs that laid foundations for the whole track to be built upon, together with dramatic female vocals reverberating behind the synths.
• MUTAGEN TANKS has noticeably increased tempo and introduces different approach to basses - periodic, loud screeches tearing through entire frequency spectrum in between sharp, driving drums.
• OUT OF DARKNESS is straight-to-the-point amen break action, hinting more at modern jungle track rather than drum & bass.
• THE ORDER OF WHISPERS was the first project we worked on together and instantly decided to follow up with more tracks.
• WORLD IN CRIMSON at its core is an odd mixture of samples from older drum & bass, hip-hop and reggae tunes, transforming them all into a new, cohesive piece.
• INVERSE ELEMENT temporarily eases out the pace with less aggressive halftime drums, focusing more on enhancing the general mood of the album.
• POSSESSED BODIES jumps between different patterns, switching from usual two step beat to freeform jungle rhythms over period of just few bars.
• FROZEN PATH REMIX takes alternative route from source track, steering it into territory of glitched out drums and uneven rhythms. The main synth pattern gets also replaced with fresh new sounds.
• OUT OF DARKNESS REMIX is brilliant showcase of Rez's mastery at working with breakbeats and being able to transform the mood of original into something even more sinister and unpredictable.
• THE ORDER OF WHISPERS REMIX focuses primarily on pushing the drums to their limit with multiple intricate layers stacked on top of each other.
• WORLD IN CRIMSON REMIX reworks the title track completly into bassdrum-driven halftime tune with less focus on midrange basses.
• ISOMETRA is something experimental and eclectic we decided to include as the last track on the album.

• THE BLACK HAUNTED SWAMP opens the compilation with its ominous voodoo atmosphere.
• IMAGINE gets to action instantly with hard-hitting breakbeats, ruthlessly pushing forward until the end. The track is built just like oldschool drum & bass used to sound like.
• SHAMAN is a gritty piece of work inspired by the sounds of No U-Turn, Renegade Hardware, Technical Itch, and the “calling” process endured by shamans during their initiation.
• BULLET sounds like a fierce chase through dimly lit backstreets in a futuristic metropolis.
• EKIBYŌ is Japanese word that translates directly to "plague" or "pestilence". A fitting name to portray the menacing atmosphere with throbbing bassline and steppy drums accompanied by faint, detuned samples of real life instruments.
• REALISE focuses primarily on the short midrange bass sweeps and minimalistic approach, sparingly adding new elements to the arrangement.
• SYNTHETIC FLESH is a fast-paced percussion driven two-step piece, inspired by a little known electro track with same title.
• FACING THE VOID was an attempt to write something aimed at the dancefloor. The drums are a lot straighter than TRC normally makes and form the driving force behind the song.
• XENOSHADOWMORPH - much the title suggests, an angular exoskeleton of metallic percussion supports a biomechanical system of morphing, acidic midrange.
• MUSIC IS FREQUENCY takes step into different direction - creatively transforms and mangles breakbeats in true jungle fashion.
• TURNING POINT was born from going through thousands of audio files and soundscapes taken from various video games.
• DRIVE YOUR PLOW - sometimes titles feel important, sometimes they’re a distraction. This track was inspired by a book that matched the dark ambiance.
• RAMPART doses halftime action in short, intense bursts. The track stands out thanks to sharp, synthesized percussions and offbeat drum patterns.
• DIABLERIST has been written during the hot summer nights in Brno as a collaborative effort.

Destined To Fall

Offish's fourth solo album, focusing primarily on leaving comfort zone and trying out different genres.

• BLEAK DAWN is actually the first track I made for this release. I was aiming to create something in the vein of intro from "Garden Of Eyes" album using more acoustic instruments and adding more swing to the drums.
• DESTINED TO FALL is my most complex project so far. Instantly recognizable thanks to acid arpeggios and three distinct drops with shifting moods, each one with different drums and rhythms.
• CULTIST VIP - a fresh take on my piece from 2019, much more raw and aggressive compared to rest of the tunes here. The VIP version of other track from same release - "Vile", was featured on my previous album.
• ANJANATH borrows its name from Monster Hunter franchise. The unusual and hypnotic pace makes it feel almost like a techno track. A soundtrack to solitary, unfriendly place.
• STILL LIFE shifts the tone to more melancholic side and keeps it through entire length. It stands out among other tracks with rich palette of pads and progressive, evolving drums.
• REGRESSION carries sorrow from previous track while serving as transition into next segment of the release.
• SOURCE OF MENACE is characterized by wide, lush synths playing in the intro and bridge between drops. The track focuses on intense barrage of techstep drums, accompanied by retro rave stabs. Short and straight to the point.
• FLOODWATERS slows down to 140 BPM and explores the world of dubstep. With this track, I show my appreciation to one of the genres that inspired me the most.
• BROKEN BONDS is bright and relaxing piece meant to contrast with rest of the album. I took inspiration from various atmospheric jungle releases and sprinkled this project with a bit more melodic content than I usually do.
• WOUNDING WORDS - another trip-hop piece and a continuation of the moody concept from the intro, utilizing slightly different set of instruments.

Garden Of Eyes

"Garden Of Eyes" is another massive leap on Offish's musical journey. Once again, he takes plunge into darker and more harsh territory but balances the emotions with more atmospheric tracks.

• PAREIDOLIA is the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern. The vocal sample comes from Neuromancer audiobook originally written by William Gibson.
• GARDEN OF EYES is the highlight of this album, a nudge towards dark drum & bass from early 00s. It's characterised by constant jungle-esque break switches, one of my most favourite techniques.
• GLASS SHANK delves in the realm of carefully layered halftime drums and continuous evolution of the rhythm - aided by rich ambiance sampled from various sources and hazy muted guitar progressions.
• IRREVERSIBLE is my second delve in jungle genre on the album, even more broken with sharper midrange basses all over the place and sudden switchups.
• TEETH NECKLACE is my attempt to capture feeling of getting lost in a dense rainforest in a short, vivid piece of music. The vocal sample comes from Solaris audiobook, originally written by Stanisław Lem.
• VILE VIP - originally released in 2019 on KRYTIKA Productions, I consider this track one of my most succesful - it played the key role in finding my own sound.
• OUT OF BOUNDS - glitched breaks meet vibrant, diverse percussion rhythms - overall, the track refines my signature style many of you came here for.
• NOCTURNAL VIP - rearranged version of track I released on Soul Ex Machina's compilation last year. I wanted to give it more spotlight with denser, more accented drums and bassline as well as a refined mixdown.
• ASSUME THE WORST demonstrates my fascination with dub music, featuring a lot of genre's characteristic elements.
• THE STRUGGLES WE'RE FACING soothes the emotions with distant, mellow pads and serves as farewell to the listener after listening to all previous tracks on the album.

Stigma

"Stigma" is the direct follow-up to Offish's previous album, "Resilience", produced in rather short and intense timeframe. Most of the tracks are noticeably deeper and more toned down.

• ORMUS is a fictitious group of substances exhibiting many miraculous properties, such as healing powers and superconductivity at room temperature. This is a short, two-minute skit serving as an opening to the album, slightly below 170 BPM.
• STIGMA is a mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance, quality, or person. The title track with a distinct melodic progression in the middle. This production is a mix of many different ideas and concepts surrounded by unique aura.
• SAVANT is characterized by strong dub music influence. It's filled to the brim with spring reverb, filtered percussions, and delayed bits flying all over the place - my personal favorite.
• TULPA - a concept in mysticism and the paranormal of a being or object which is created through spiritual or mental powers. The most ferocious track on the album, especially after the second drop. It uses the classic Landlord stab sample to add more flavor.
• TIME OF WEAKNESS instantly hits the listener with a thick, claustrophobic atmosphere paired with low, warm basslines and keeps mercilessly pushing forward without looking behind.
• GEMATRIA is an Assyro-Babylonian-Greek system of alphanumeric code or cipher that was later adopted into Jewish culture.
• SUNKEN CITIES consists of a one, long drop that becomes more complex and jungle-esque as the track progresses.
• BLACK AIR simply refines my usual style - main kick-based pattern with A-B breakbeat sections on top paired with menacing atmosphere and deep sub.
• PROMISE TO KEEP is a small homage to older drum & bass. I used a lot of ethnic instruments to support the mechanical, 2-step driven rhythm. The main melodic progression has been created by pitching and filtering tonal percussions.
• ILLUSION OF CHOICE - an ending ambient piece that closes the album.

Resilience

What initially was just a collection of rejected demos laying on Offish's hard drive, became his first album that laid groundwork for his style - focusing on broken halftime rhythms paired with eerie and dark atmospheres. Great recommendation for someone looking for something original, out of the box.
• SORCERY KILLINGS features wooden foley samples I recorded myself. It peaks in the second drop where the classic Mutant break kicks in and glues everything together.
• KYBALION is named after the 1908 book about ancient hermeticism. The main focus of the track is tribal percussion rhythm with a dose of spring reverb (don't confuse with regular reverb) - just because I don't hear this effect too often in drum & bass.
• BLOODTHIRST slows down to 165 BPM and its bassline stands out from the rest of the tunes here. It's the earliest track on the release as well. The track is inspired by Bloodthirster demons from the Warhammer universe.
• VOLTAN inherits the name of the Maya god of earth and drums. The breakbeats in this one are particularly ferocious (hence the name) and switch every few bars.
• RESILIENCE is a nod towards the technoid dnb style from 2005-2010 which I remember fondly. It borrows the exact rhythm that was very common for that kind of tracks.
• MISGUIDED drops below 170 BPM as well. It has the most twisted (and also hardest to follow) drum work of all the tracks on this release. The voice sample you can hear in the transition between drops is taken from the Russian animation series, "Mr Freeman".
• VALLEY OF TEARS is driven by strongly defined kick patterns and less frequent usage of snares for most of the time. It's named after the song from Lineage soundtrack that I sampled in the intro.
• HAMSA, the outro track is named after palm-shaped amulets depicting the open right hand, an image recognized and used as a sign of protection - which you will need, especially in current times.
