Primal Instinct - Chlär
-
@samuraitracks Val!
A buddy of mine shared this label with me today and I thought this might be something you'd like, particularly this producer named Chlär. He's a techno producer but his production level is fantastic:

checked this a few days ago. some heavy tracks in there for sure. the rumble/kick has always been hard for me, i'm never sure i'm doing it right because, well, in headphones or speakers is not the same as a huge system with a subwoofer. thanks for sharing
currently making some goa and applied those "no-fuss" tips. spent a whole day messing around and did nothing, then went back and kept only the elements that were the "core" of the tracks. i'm actually surprised because maybe i might finally end up doing something that resembles early goa, a goal i've always wanted to accomplish!
all good here, already started doing some stuff for the school: the boring and obligatory courses that we have to do each and every year. how are things going? are the other peeps around here doing any progress?

might as well post it here, in case you want to check it out. just uploaded it.
quite happy with the results. got lost a few times during the meat of the production, but i tried to keep a level-headed attitude. the main hook sound is not exactly as i envisioned it, but it was one of the first things that i made and little by little i got used to it, so i decided not to go back and change it. -

Holyshit man you went OFF!!! Incredible arrangement, seriously, all the way through it flowed beautifully. And your choice for picking and blending sounds is impeccable. I'm legit fucking impressed.. I hope you are too!
What are your plans for it? Will you just be posting it on youtube or do you plan on reaching out to some labels? Honestly, this is great track I think you should definitely consider contacting a few labels just to see what they say.
Bravo my man!

Man I feel you, even though Im not a teacher preparing for the new school year can be a kick in the balls lol
My girls are currently in the states visiting family so I get to be single for 2 weeks... Its amazing how much work I can do when I dont have anyone around haha!
Ive been steadily chipping away at a ton of projects recently, even have a plugin I started over the pandemic and I finally forced myself to get it done. Got a sample library on the way also and couple of freebies I'll post in the shop as soon as I launch it which will be in toward the end of this month or early September. Also a couple more interviews / articles.
The peeps are doing great, right now I have 3 releases lines up for the label. Felipe (Numaphlex) has a track hes working on atm and I have colba track as well with him. Sean (Izlo) has a pretty sick electro track ep coming out, that will probably be the next release. Also John (Colog) has this sick bigbeat track right after. So yeah man, plenty of activity!
By the way, what is your Paypal address? I need to send you your first royalties payment... I'm not kidding, you got some money!

thank you Joel, glad you enjoyed it. i had not thought of sending it to anybody, simply because i wasn't sure of how well it sounded, and mainly because it's very "old sounding": nowadays, nobody is really making anything like this. however, after reading your post, i sent a .wav to some people called "suntrip records" (one of the first results after searching "goa trance labels"), more out of curiosity than anything. i felt quite inspired by all the good words (from you, a few on AS, friends) and i spent the last two days making another track and it came out naturally, some kind of trance/techno/ambient, a bit weird. want to do a second mix and then post it; incredible the motivation and strength you have when you are "in the flow/in the zone".
i'm glad you're keeping yourself busy with the projects. i'm also glad to hear the other guys are working on their traxx. do you feel they're applying your tips/guidelines? i suppose each one is different so the method has different ways to be injected...
no worries about paypal mate ahah. maybe when we reach a hundred euros we'll see! for now, feel free to use the money to promote/do whatever. i'm being truthful here; well, first of all, i don't really need it at the moment; secondly, as i've expressed it before, i mainly make music for the passion of creating and sharing something. it's ok getting paid, but it's not the main goal. when i can buy a full carton of cigarettes with it let me know! (around 55€ :D)
have a good sunday
EDIT PS: oh, of course, if you want to post these on LF I guess feel free, but I suppose you'd want a proper release. these tracks were more spontaneous than anything. besides, i wanted to wait a bit anyway since I was the first one to be featured there

Man, you'd be surprised at how much "old" music is alive and well! Atmospheric dnb is more popular now than it ever was and a large part of that is because of older generation listeners and newer generations finding it. That's the same for pretty much every large established genre as far as I can tell. And I feel genres with real history have a much deeper and loyal following because those genres have stood the test of time because of the quality of the music that was being put out back then. People that are obsessed with music will ALWAYS find the best version of it, because great music NEVER goes out of style. I think you really did the genre justice with your track and it can sit comfortably next to any other quality goa trance release. Its that good!
Other guys are doing awesome, some slower than others but that's ok. My plan is to support everyone here no matter how long it takes because I really believe that every producer who's been doing this long enough instinctively knows how to finish music, its just we get distracted with all the psychological stuff and that's what ends up throwing a wrench in the gears. I feel once it clicks though, its like a riding a bike, you don't forget.
I feel different about the money thing. Hear me out though
... not that I think making music for passion is wrong, I also feel that way too. But it's part of the process, and I think it needs to happen at least once so every producer knows what it feels like to earn SOMETHING from their work, no matter how small. It reinforces the idea that what you do is valuable and appreciated, something music used to have and unfortunately has been missing for a long time. It took me a long time to understand and be comfortable with that, but once I experienced it, it changed my attitude from 'this is something I do for fun' to 'this is something that actually matters to someone else, not just to me.' That's what I want you to feel too, even if it's small. So please don't see it as payment... see it as me saying thanks, and as something I think you should experience regardless of the 100€ mark. When you hit your cigarette goal, believe me I'll let you know, because I'll start smoking them with you! 
Dude, I will HAPPILY release these on LF because they are OUTSTANDING, and also that's the whole point of this label... if you go through the process, you have a home and a place to release your music, ALWAYS! But lets wait to see if you hear back from Suntrip Records, that's a much bigger move... remember I told you you're like the first man on Mars releasing on LF? Getting signed to another label would be like traveling to another galaxy and meeting a whole new species!
And thats another thing I feel every producer should experience, so if its on the table, I say lets wait because that is the final boss in this fucking game -
Oh I almost forgot! ANYTIME you finish a track you're proud of, PLEASE post a link here:
https://aymat.org/community/releases/
I would love for this section to just be filled with releases from all the session producers, regardless of it being released on LF or not. It's the forum I set up specifically for this so please feel to post ANY music you'd like to promote here as well, no need to ask!
