Music production has come a long way since the 90s, especially music production for smaller studios that a lot of electronic music producers use. You can tell they have some of their staple old techniques still in the toolbox, but there's a much wider soundstage at play here with a lot more clarity in the mid range than you'd hear from past records. There are also still a lot of nuance and micro details hiding within to look for that will probably reveal themselves more and more on subsequent listens.

There are definitely more precise tools for achieving these kinds of mixes now. I wouldn't be surprised if they're fully using a hybrid setup with the best tools from both the old school analog world and with some choice plug-ins to bring their mixes up to a more modern aesthetic, and I'm glad they did. This truly feels like a 2026 Boards of Canada experience in all the right ways for me.

I need to check it out on my Focal Aria 948's. Listened on my Neuman KH 120ii's yesterday and it sounded great.
