What is the concept behind this Showcase?
I built this mix primarily from early-2000s minimal and click records, weaving in a few loops from ambient music.
Throughout the mix, I wanted both mechanical and organic textures to coexist.
I imagined the scenery passing by from a train, airplane, or car window, from sunset through to dawn.
