Smokey, heads down trap style beat for the midnight hours. Low End's Bad Growls preset serves up the formidable bassline, with Calm Down, Plucks TV Quiz & Blow Dart from Slow Drift adding various touches to the airy atmospherics which hover above.

Time

This modern, chill hip-hop beat blends serene piano chords with the raw, lo-fi arpeggios vibe of 3AM Wormhole preset. Infusing added layers of warmth, 'Calm Down' preset is introduced alongside a subtly detuned bassline.

New Age Ambient

Wistful, nostalgic ambient music in the new age tradition. Two instances of Faded Keys' Eighties Novella patch serve up warm keys as the focal point, with Slow Drift's Coin Up & Sub Dark Tines of Faded Keys painting melodic motifs in the cavernous space.
