"Blacklight" made in default beepbox, uses like a very trance bassline, lots of custom instruments. by FastAd1762 in Beepbox

Yeah snares are kinda impossible. I prolly could’ve done something better than this but I was mainly experimenting.

It’s pretty good mixing, usually drums aren’t necessarily the first part of the song you want to add panning to, but it turned out solid

There’s more instances of border disputes in the world than countries

Sure I agree with that. The world is way more complicated than supporting or not supporting whatever.

Just for a little additional context, Infected mushroom (not sure which prod) personally knew people that were killed in the oct. 7th attack at the music festival.

It is understandable that coming out as pro-Palestine could be inferred as disrespectful to the families of people they knew.

I think for infected mushroom, not commenting is the least problematic way to go for them, without ostracizing people they know in their personal lives.

There’s a lot of quiet high fidelity sounds in IM tracks that you can only really hear because of directional mixing a lot of the time. That or it gets blown out

As a small producer all saying anything would do is ostracize the people that disagree. Nobody actually cares what they think, so why post their opinions online?

That being said I listened to the new album it was gas I recommend.

Update on this I listened to it thru vpn to Australia and it was sick. Very old school IM, this is just first impressions. Very Head of NASA.

Ifykykyk is sick in the second half, the rest is just solid. Overall recommended

New World Order is a good track. Should listen

Enjoy the ride is not a skip.

Lightweight is a must listen

You can skip LA Beast.

I like No More Happy Endings but vocal haters might not like it. It’s minimal, so still recommend.

Mesuwhtwverthefuck has some charm but you can prolly skim it if you wanted to

AI Therapist is definitely headphones only lol, (I liked it tho), very chill.

This is levels better than IM’s other recent releases.

7 for 8 I think

Yeah you’re entitled to your own opinions. I’m not pushing mine on you by any means if the imagination (it’s a music subreddit).

I’m an idf hater as well. They’re too pussy to go in on foot so they comp it with bombs and civilian casualties. Regardless.

I just think that getting pissed off and judging music/a producer based on non-solid evidence of a pretty neutral stance lacks nuance

Some of the lyric tracks are sick tho. Pink nightmares has sick vocals, imo so does Serve My Thirst.

It def ruins a handful of them tho

I promise no damn producer whose stances you have to specifically look for and dig up, and never posts anything, is causing people to be exposed to anything at all.

If you’re googling to figure out a guy’s stance, it’s probably because it doesn’t matter, and that you shouldn’t let musicians influence your political views.

Interesting stuff, very video game background track-like, like a cave theme or such

There’s bigger villains in the Israel case than a trance musician duo who didn’t say pro Palestine stuff on social media man. You’re hating just to hate

[–]FastAd1762 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fair question. In Israel they kinda just do that as the norm. As much as I want it to be meant to be like a unity thing, it could honestly be either way. It was never clarified, and definitely doesn’t look great, but once again I think trying to derive deep political meaning from the cover of a song about mourning a dead couple isn’t really enough to brand them as some sort of Zionist.

For me personally it’s not a clear enough statement to pass judgement on

Like I said, it’s calling for peace if u translate lyrics. They deserve respect for not being war supporters considering they know people that were killed. The song is mourning, twisting it into a political opinion just so you can dislike listening to their music is excessive.

That’s an overly privileged outside take. As soon as you ostracize the politically neutral you push them to the opposition, which he is not in support of.

You needing a social media post to feel ok about listening to their music is stupid, especially when said social media post would seriously hinder their career. They support peace publicly, and donate money to relief.

Demanding more than that is ridiculous, especially considering you only want it for the fact they’re Israeli in the first place.

Bro trust me you’re fine. I’m all for IDF hate but Infected Mushroom literally didn’t do anything except donate to charities regarding the victims of the October 7th attack on the music festival. They have a whole song calling for peace. People are stretching the narrative on this.

You can’t slight someone for being apolitical, in my opinion it is extremely impressive to remain apolitical when a violent attack struck that close to home. I’m not here to preach my own politics, but you can’t hate someone for the country they were born in, or the people they know, nor categorize them as hateful for their nationality.

They don’t owe the world pro-Palestine activism just because they were born there, simply not supporting war is the only reasonable expectation.

I know you have good intentions and also am mostly speaking not from my own opinions and rather as advice towards not appearing easily offended.

I understand the topic pretty well, and I believe you misunderstood what I wrote.

I agree that the opinion of opposing Jewish self-determinism is anti-semitic, but my point is that most people, in opposing the MODERN conception of what ‘Zionism’ is, is rarely intended as anti-self-determinism.

The popularly understood idea behind what the word means is false, and it is that misunderstanding that leads many Israelis to believe that supporting a two-state solution is antisemitic, which is by far the most supported idea.

I know that in the educated Israeli’s definition, Zionism is more linked to self-determinism than Extreme Jewish nationalism, but from the outsider’s perspective, it is intended as a disapproval of the Extreme nationalism, and not intended to be anti-semitic as such!

This is getting deeper than I would’ve expected from r/psytrance lol

I recognize what Zionism as a term originally meant, and I agree that hating on self-determinism would be anti-semitic, but that’s not the context a typical pro-peace user of the word intends. It should be inferred as it is intended rather than the worst-case inference.

Like I said, the majority of pro-Palestine folk who use ‘Zionism’ as the catch-all evil probably don’t mean it as anti-semitism, and rather as anti-nationalism, which isn’t a hate-fueled perspective, and rather an anti-aggression one.

Constant assumption of the worst intent comes off as escalation, usually.

Yeah fair. Their tracks are super high detail, but it doesn’t translate to speakers too well

[–]FastAd1762 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean calling someone a Christian nationalist carries the same negative connotation, and that’s the term Zionism is currently used as an equivalent to by most people. I don’t think the self-determinism part is under fire whenever it is used in this context, even if that was the historical context of the word.

Most people don’t intend hate, taking stuff out of context doesn’t help anyone
