about

Slippers is an honest attempt at blending acid, psytrance and hard dance all together at the same time. I have no idea if I did it but its definitely a weird one. Kind of like putting on someone else's slippers; or a new pair of slippers; or maybe some slippers you left outside for a bit - is there a spider in there? Maybe you shouldn't risk it and just buy a new pair of slippers - as that's what big slipper wants from you anyhow.

Waldorf PPG Wave 3.V starts us off with a gentle euro style pad but then the big bad ReFX Vanguard 3 kicks in with its acid synths. The distant piano's or secondary synths are a combination of Roland's System-8 and Juno-60; a deadly pair if done right. The pad growls are actually done by PROMARS but sent through a vocoder to distort it.

The tracks flow is pretty brittle, mainly because I have no idea how to blend psytrance elements - so please forgive me. Have you purchased new slippers yet?

Born in CA and raised on 80's synthpop I spent my youth listening to all kinds of music and playing way too many video games. I've been a hobby producer of music for over 15 years with a wide range of styles.

Testarossa
by AM 1984

Take everything you know about vaporwave / synthwave and combine it with the big room snares and synths of Italio Disco / Hi-NRG. This album had me dancing from the first to last track. X5s

Hearts LP
by Blackbird Blackbird

Wispy distant vocals like Postal Service over future funk beats. This is an album I keep coming back to when I need a second to cool off and clear my mind. X5s

Monsters
by The Midnight

The 80's will never die and acts like The Midnight keep the fire alive. The clean and crisp analog synths are to die for. Combined with the great vocals this album yearns for a night drive. X5s
