Finally got around to sitting down and producing an electro house track. The subjective components are typical to my flavor — deep rolling saw-based bassline, heavy kick, slapped snare, long builds leveraging primarily fifths (5 semitones), etc. The coolest part, though, is that my favorite sound effect in the world — the Wall-E voice — is used multiple times in the track 🙂 🙂
If you get a chance to listen, let me know what you think!

Here’s my latest attempt at a completed electronica track. This one is named in honor of a nice weekend of snowboarding.It’s always nice to mark a vacation by creating a custom track or DJ mix, so in the future when listening to it, you are reminded of all the fun you had on the trip. This one was put together using some very nice instrument loops by Jody Wisternoff, who is one of my favorite producers.
