In early 2012 I got a brand new toy - the laptop that even now is my main music production tool. Along with it came a heap of music software and virtual synthesizers, which gave me a lot more options than I ever had before. Right away, I took a dive into this pool of possibilities, and riding the wave of fresh inspiration created an album's worth of new tracks - mostly sequencer based and propelled forward by driving beats, which I considered some of my strongest works so far at that point.
When I had the chance to release my first album on SynGate though, I believed these tracks were no suitable material and hold them back for later. I did however share them privately with some close friends and listeners, and when I had a chat about my music with one of them, he remarked that these tracks actually were those that he played most often over the years.
