Edition Audiotool: aBstracT

Welcome to the this week's "Edition Audiotool" album. Thanks @abstract for compiling it. Check his feature on Facebook aswell: https://www.facebook.com/notes/audiotool/featured-artist-abstract/948651061823828 1. ###– by @VLTRA "This is probably both my favorite and most listened to track on Audiotool, at least at this moment. The track gives off that barren and muted feel, like a person walking through an icy wasteland... then the bass kicks in and the true deep and dark style of VLTRA comes to light. The overall atmosphere gives me chills, and seems perfect for some Horror Sci-Fi movie." 2. Tranquility by @looks "Don't let the title fool you; this is one of the most hardcore and eclectic neuro-hop tracks I've ever heard. The first drop is reminiscent of Billain's style, while the second drop is head-bobbingly funky with extremely well-honed syncopation. Luxior did an outstanding job here, and think the joke element to the track is great as well :P" 3. AFTERGLOW by @Beat Canteen "An older track that still stands out (and will always stand out) as a progressive house masterpiece. Epic and inspiring are two words that describe this track well. I wish I had been around to remix this track when it was a remix contest." 4. Nerd by @Gno4166 "A nice little fun jazzy dnb piece reminds me of a spy chase scene of some kind. However, the production quality is sublime, with unique and sophisticated chords and synthwork. Hats off to Gno4166." 5. Wait by @amoeba: "This is a track that invokes pure and raw emotion. The pad and bass combination is really just outstanding. The pitched vocals in the background make for some great subtle touches and help complete the bittersweet and sad vibe. Overall a prime example of the amazing future garage that Audiotool has to offer." 6. Nemo by @thomastheconductor "The EDM powerhouse Cuddlex really outdid himself with this one. The synthwork is just top of the line, that panning delay thing in the intro is a super cool idea. The drop itself is so unique and JUICY, and the rhythm and complexity (of the drop) is off the charts." 7. Vitamine DnB by @THRONE "THRONE (or PLUS+, the name that I originally knew him by) has crafted some of the most professional-sounding liquid dnb on Audiotool, this track included. The moving bassline is so creative, and the typical PLUS+ plucks are meaty as ever. Oh, and don't forget that amazingly atmospheric vibe in the intro and the airy leads. And that dang swing halftime. The fact that this track was fairly overlooked compared to other amazing liquid tracks by him makes no sense to me." 8. Survival @CGMan "CGMan is the Neurofunk king of Audiotool. This is probably one of my favorite tracks by him, simply for the amazing groove (well, all of his tracks have an amazing groove). This is a shining example of the sound design capabilities of Audiotool for sure." 9. Space Clouds by @Syntax & Kepz "Now this track is simply brain food. When I just want to lay on my bed and let my mind wander, this is the perfect soundtrack. An incredibly clean and chill trance track with a great minimalistic feel." 10. Firefly (ft. Luxior) by @Xavi "Yo, so I liked this chord progression so much that I learned to play it on piano. The suspension at the end of the progression is just so dang tasteful. Oh yeah, and the chord chops are absolutely nuts. Overall, an amazing fast paced banger that has been on replay for me since 7 months ago." Artist that deserves more recognition: @Cobalt Vacancy "I'm ashamed to say that it took me 2 rediscoveries to get it through my head that this guy makes some groundbreaking stuff; the first time was when I heard his Ate Ball remix, and the second time was when I listened to his EP. Both times after I forgot about him, and only recently did I rediscover how awesome his music is. For his high quality trap bangers, he gets only about 20-30 faves, when he should be getting 100+." 11. Daddy's Home by @ tatatat Personal favorite: 12. Vivacious Vagabonds by @abstract "I chose this particular track because it includes some
