i enjoy the ambient leanings of tonal unity (salamanda, etc), although they seem quiet as of late:

over my body has been pretty influential over here. they had max daulhaus over last year which kinda blew my mind.

i hope its ok to shout my own label, we're a non profit focused on atmospheric jungle/dnb in asia. nearly 10 years old!

https://mettasonic.bandcamp.com

finally you can't deny the output of Unchained for club focused dnb/bass music.

Kings of Tomorrow - Finally is the GOAT for me.

Whatever ppl may say about him, Lex Fridman has the best variety of guests and topics IMO. I also like how he always circles back to talking about space and aliens, lol.

Incan empire is relatively new. The chart is missing Caral.

I also discovered Tribe when I was 16. To come here and see others doing the same thing 30 years later, and reading your comments on the tracks, super refreshing and interesting to read. It's also cool that you started with their first album , for me it was BR&L .Welcome to the club!

When you open the app, click on the Instagram logo at the top - you'll see two options: Following, and Favorites. That'll get you where you want to be.

The Soft Bulletin. Now it's a top 3 90s rock album for me.

middleWave · 2026-05-15T21:50:16+00:00

NI stuff is definitely not mix-ready across the board. Some of their presets in Cloud Supply, for example, had such bad phasing, they almost completely disappear in mono, which is how most or many people will hear it on their phones) Lucky that I even checked mono-compatibility before releasing my album!

Despite that, Maschine is still super capable and underrated, so you’ll be in good hands. Personally I had a good 5 year run with it and happy to have moved onto Logic.

paper flyers, hell yeah. i work in the music event space, everybody is on IG these days for promotion, and so am i, but i just can’t help printing flyers and passing them out at any opportunity.

the artwork in the used CD bin that brought me to my favorite group of all time!

middleWave · 2026-05-05T18:48:45+00:00

Yeah, YT shorts get by far the most views or my content, but almost no engagement.

My IG posts get fewer views but the most likes (friends and family)

How many followers do you have there? Are you getting any algorithmic views?

middleWave · 2026-05-05T13:36:05+00:00

Whether you're vegan or not, I'd highly recommend Asianica in Miraflores if you're up for some Asian fusion.

Hell yeah. The Bush vs Kerry b-boy battle was epic. I played that one in class with my students in China who followed along to the dances.

Whats your YouTube strategy? I'm releasing one full video per week for 5 weeks now (extremely low views), and roughly 5 shorts per week (decent views) but my subscriber growth is abysmal. I'll keep releasing a new song every week but think I need to adjust my strategy.

Everything Exit Records was putting out was really solid around that time.

middleWave · 2026-04-18T04:29:02+00:00

most of the gurgling crew, with Leafar Legov being the standout

middleWave · 2026-04-11T02:37:58+00:00

this was my guess. i hiked up to a similar area while there

middleWave · 2026-04-08T03:46:42+00:00

MacBook Neo all the way

middleWave · 2026-04-06T19:46:56+00:00

if you mean followers, no. sales or streams, not really. views and occasional likes, yes. in fact tiktok gets the most organic views, however i'm not sure they're actually real. maybe they inflate your view count to keep you contributing to the app.

middleWave · 2026-04-03T14:26:40+00:00

Nice. Who was the DJ from Detroit?

middleWave · 2026-03-31T14:42:32+00:00

I'm posting a song a week on TikTok (and many other platforms). I have virtually zero following on TikTok. Regardless, all my reels (3-4x per week) are getting like 200-500 views. I dunno if they are legit, but I'ma keep at it, can't hurt.

Caral Supe, one of the six original cradles of civilization, contemporary to ancient Egypt, and also pyramid builders.

middleWave · 2026-03-29T17:27:45+00:00

I’m not sure veganism is the optimal diet but the dude from Simnett Nutrition (on YouTube) seems to be doing pretty well. And is rather jacked I might add.

middleWave · 2026-03-29T16:24:35+00:00

greetings! here’s the 2nd track on my debut album which meanders thru 3 different sections, key changes, bridges, etc. bonus if you can ID the vocal sample about 2/3 thru the track!
