This one is a proper oldschool uplifter, nothing else. It could be named “uplifting trance tutorial” and you wouldn’t suspect anything. Simple and catchy arpeggiated melody inspired by my all-time favourite duo Nu NRG.
Enjoy!
The project actually originated from testing new plugins available on Black Friday – just dropped my favourite presets and very generic melody from Orb Producer... and the Dune 3 default preset arpeggio. Agressive, glitchy bassline comes from iZotope BreakTweaker.
In this video I demonstrate how to create an acid bassline with as many as 8 different synths:
This includes basic patch, full track mix tips as well as a variety of sound design variations for all subtractive synths that I own.
Yep, hard acid basslines are a commonplace in trance music and also a part of my signature sound. You can hear some in a number of releases like Valor, The Beauty of Darkness, Scythe and grab some freebies like recent 42, Jihad or Inhuman.
Hope you find this video helpful.
Watch how latest AI-powered plugin creates trance melodies for me:
Another month, another release. This time on Sampler 006 thanks to friendly label Mindlifing Bundles (part of Tecnomind Music).
This one is a bit dark melodic tune that for some reason reminds me of 80’s synthpop. Either way, it flows nicely. Finally nailed it.
The remix of “Full Moon” by Matthias Bishop got quite some range and positive feedback. It was also an occasion to record a video about sound design for this track. The video is my most popular episode on Youtube by far, go check it out:
Recorded back in the summer, recently edited with great (and free!) DaVinci Resolve 16. That certainly is quite an advancement since early episodes, but I won’t stop here!
The Video features Reaktor Blocks, now with awesome Toybox expansion which suddenly became my favourite tools of trade. Feels nice to use, looks great, but most importantly, sounds gorgeous. Indeed there’s something about all these “analog” and analog emulations.

A new video on a simple, but crucial topic that many people don’t get quite right.
This is my best.
Today let’s take a closer look on Remix of Suntasia by known Marce De Buur, for a request of my home label Tecnomind Music.
Luckily the remix request came soon after lockdown in Poland. My company sent everyone for (paid) vacation so I had a couple of extra weeks I could spend on anything – of course the best option was to make some music. So I sat down and worked every day, finishing it in about three weeks. Which is quick related to normal release schedule – been waiting months for other remixers to complete their task 😛

Finally got to remix Marc De Buur – an artist than I personally respect (and knew before to begin with). Sky is the limit!
Get it now on:
