/Broken Toys

I'm pretty proud of this track as it does exactly what I set out to do. I wanted to push the soft, 80'sish sounds of Erland Oye's DJ Kicks compilation into more abstract territory, while still keeping it dancable and identifyably Tomásian. 

The central synth in this was made using a freeware softsynth called Synth1 and tweaking it until it practically broke. I've never spun this in a dj set, but in the right context, I think this would be a track you could dance to. 

I accidentally sent Sardi a mono file of this for mastering, after spending literally days working on the panning, which was very precise. When we found out and I went back to the recording to get the stereo version, the files were all corrupted. But he did some wonderful work with panning the frequencies to fix it up and it sounds great. I was worried I was being a bit overzealous with my use of stereo anyway, so maybe it just wasn't meant to be.
