Last week I channeled my inner DJ Koze, ca. 2003. Happy with the result, still boppin' to it.
There are some obvious references in this one, but I'll leave them up to you to figure them out. Minimalistic house, slow, just a few elements dropping in and out. Didn't spend a ton of time on this
So, yeah. Hopefully safely in the "bangers not anthems" category. It was fun to play with the atonality here, which isn't usually my thing, but somehow worked well here.
About a month ago, I tried to come up with a hard banger and I failed miserably, abandoning an almost fully laid out beat because I couldn't stand listen to it. I still hate it. Instead, I came up w
Finally, I managed to come up with an actual techno banger. It's just barely 2 minutes, but I'll take that for a weekly beat.
Quite happy with this atmospheric bop.

As I've uploaded my latest #WeeklyBeats2026 track, I'm realizing how much of my musical journey this year is about textures.

I've kept up the WeeklyBeats, just haven't been spamming yous every week.
Somehow we're up to week 20 of 2026!
Week 18: Sportsperson
A piano piece (mostly) that never returns to the same chord twice

Week 19: Popcorn On A Cake
Squelchy lo-fi electro-y beat

Week 20: Music For Apricots
7/4 gentle house (?) music

Sometimes, even I, just want to dance.
This was one of those weeks where, several hours into one track, you have to abandon it because it simply does not speak to you anymore. So I started from scratch and came up with this Garage thing.
Made it to week 17 of WeeklyBeats! This week I made another track with paperthinphil ; definitely inspired by the show we saw last week.

Week 17 of WeeklyBeats, 'Pigeonhole'.
What's not me this week? Fast (155bpm), hard beats (imo😅), almost no melodic or harmonic stuff.
