smoke break by DJ Asexual

Inspired by work lately. I've been in a bit of a beat rut lately, and it's mostly because when I make music I feel like it has to be played like an instrument. anyway, I got my hands on a used Octatrack mk 1 in great condition... this thing is awesome and I wanted to share some techno experiments I've done with it. I wanted to see what I could do with the octa by itself. It's a challenge to make music with 7 tracks somewhat but I really enjoy the workflow and playability. My setup atm is an octa, traktor pro 3 and my s4 mk3. I record in to traktor because I like the mixer effects, and I can beat match samples I make to expand on the 7 track limit of the octa, plus having access to Traktor's effects. Life has been hectic lately and tbh this was somewhat of an irresponsible purchase but I don't regret it at all. life is short

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these beats hehe. Happy pride month! Estrogen had me making better techno :3
