May 2020 Care Package #11

Hey guys!

This month's care package is extra beefy, including 28 Serum presets! 

There are a couple bass-heavy patches in here, but most of these sounds are the result of a lot of experimentation with emulating old analog synths. You will find patches reminiscent of 70s and 80s hardware including the Yamaha DX-7 and CS-80, Roland Juno 60 and Jupiter 8, Polymoog, Oberheim OB-X, ...

Barely Alive - Origins (Exclusive Download)

Back in 2015, we printed a limited run of 100 physical CD copies of our first LP, "We Are Barely Alive". The discs included full-print artwork as well as a hidden bonus track at the end, titled "Origins". (not to be confused with the forever-unreleased collaboration with The Frim of the same name). Although this ambient vaporwave-esque soundscape track has already been technically released, it ...

April 2020 Care Package #10

Hey guys!

This month we have a combination of some bass sounds with the accompanying project file that shows the synthesis and resampling that went into making them. The sounds were made using Operator and a couple of cool and free plugins from MeldaProduction.com.

Trying new techniques and tools is essential to growing as a producer. Just opening Ableton and messing around for an h...

3-5 matt saved this in the wrong folder 2 (Exclusive Download)

Back in March 2015, we found ourselves deep in the creative process while writing our debut album "We Are Barely Alive". We had set out to write a 14-track LP that spanned all of our favorite genres of bass music, and it was a really big endeavor for us, only 2 years after releasing our first single as Barely Alive. We were in the studio every day, moving from project to project and waiting for...

Barely Alive - Rifle Blow Kiss [PROJECT FILE DOWNLOAD]

Our second project file is Rifle Blow Kiss ft. Soultrain! This track has been a fan favorite for a super long time since it was released in early 2014. Unfortunately, we couldn't recover the original vocal stems because they got saved to a "Downloads" folder that has long been lost (pro tip - never leave anything important in your Downloads folder!!!), but luckily we had an acapella to use inst...
