BF2S Forums what are you listening to right now?

Been coming up a lot on my recommends. Not bad on my driving/gaming playlist.

303 karma: a dedication to one of most hypnotic-sounding instruments of the modern era.











   

literally no one gives a fuck my guy.

for an engineer you're remarkably ignorant, by the way. MIDI doesn't sound like anything. i just posted videos that are made with an instrument. you do know what MIDI is, right? something 'parsed into MIDI' won't sound like anything. MIDI is a sound-less computer instruction; a 'MIDI note' doesn't have a sound.

Yes I know, Bosch error codes are digital codes which of course don't sound like anything either, the first step would be to parse them into something else and midi would be as good as anything, dur.

because i know dilbert loves him, really. i think dilbert has a RDJ tattoo somewhere.

some more lovely squiggly roland tb-303.





this one won a grammy! it's practically pop music.

that song has a strange after-life like sandstorm's 'darude'. people play it ironically.

before clubs got shut down, this was the ironic wink-wink song of the day.



this and zombie nation are actually good tbh. in the right context.

This is the same extremely obscure group (3000 subscribers) that did the Streets of Rage live synth. I think her version of the song is better than the original due to the rap part being stripped out.

The song isn't Zombie Nation. The DJ is Zombie Nation. The song is Kernkraft 400. Basically Nuclear Power 400 in German. The song is played a lot at American sports event. Not the Zombie Nation part but the rest of it.

yes but everyone just calls it zombie nation. just like everyone calls it 'da hool' rather than 'meet her at the love parade'. these artists basically have one big song, or at least one one that still gets played at clubs/parties today.

@sup: the partiboi thing is okay. it gets a bit stale. a lot of people are pissed at him because he's basically a gimmick at the expense of real scenes in places ike baltimore.

I googled them and found a short blurb about the group from an also obscure facebook page offering synth music news. Apparently they were a group of students at a California college who got together and recorded a show in 2015. The youtube channel has been slowly releasing videos from that college show for the past few years as well as a mix of something the channel owner seem to have recorded on their own last month. I found the reddit account of the owner and reached out asking what happened to the group. 

Such a shame if they were just a college experiment. The covers of a few songs they did sound better than the originals.
Example:



Interpol, my favorite band, started off as a NYU college project too.

We are doing hip-hop/rap now? This was the first Tekashi69 song I ever heard and liked it better than the gangster rap he has made. The song is about cuckoldry.

He should have made more music like this rather than hood shit.

Might be the most accessible music youve ever posted

that is an offensively bad song.

Somehow thousands of times more popular and well known than the obscure Africans who happen to live in the U.K. you post.
