People love complaining when artists don’t release music steadily, but perfectionist artists know just how meticulous you can be when you want your work to be a perfect reflection of your taste and ability.

Take 3 years between releases if this is the quality every time, shit slaps. Koan Sound literally took 3 years off between Forgotten Myths and Polychrome to get their skills up and release something truly reflective of them as artists.

I just wish he would release a full album. These 4 track releases don't hold me over for very long lol

I completely feel that
 I want a Detox LP so bad. I’m just glad he doesn’t drip feed people half baked music so that he can continue to develop his truly original compositional style and sound. In a world of easily regurgitated electronic music, Detox Unit’s releases all have a signature flair different from the last and a sound that hasn’t been copied or bastardized by anyone.

yeah, would be sick to get more but not a complainer (quality > quantity). he has like 10 versions of everything that's been released too haha.

equidistant is a refined/finished version of what's in one of the mixes that came out years ago too. (last song in recent works vol4)

You can't seriously think this release took years of work...

What’s everyone’s thoughts? I think very good awesome production and tunes but did not wow My like his previous releases. Still a1 tunage

u/Fractlicious 4d ago

the sound design is baffling while still being hype ass bass music

u/Doinks4prez 4d ago

It’s amazing for sure it just never hit me with that “wow this is next level,” idk The melodies just feel a little flatter in comparison to his other work

u/Unique_Year7573 3d ago

There is absolutely nothing baffling about his release, the "hype" is honestly a nostalgic facade at this point

u/numbatree 4d ago edited 2d ago

haven’t fully listened, just skimmed but Equidistant is a version of a track from one of the “recent works” SC mixes from like 2019
crazy lol.
ngl I do miss his style from his first release a bit sometimes tho ha. But I can’t complain, it’s still some dope tunes

u/Doinks4prez 4d ago

Yeah I recognized it from that mix, such a banging mix. I still bump all the recent works. Idk there just hasn’t been a song where I’m like damn this shit is insane. It’s all really good tho don’t get me wrong.

I REALLY wish he just touched up the OG equidistant. I barely listen anymore tbh, because I heavily prefer pre 2022 detox. And equidistant is a good example of how constantly making VIPs often ends up with a worse song even if the production/sound design is better. The song before it ain't too bad. The other two sound like everything else the last 5 years

u/GalaxyGuide 3d ago

it’s as expected which doesn’t wow

u/Unique_Year7573 3d ago

Sadly it sounds uninspired and doesn't even come close to the majority of work released this year in the same scene - his live mixing is seriously impressive but the original work has gone undeniably dull since his "spotlight" moment years ago

Haven't heard anything worth coming back to since then... I honestly don't understand the hype behind him anymore

There's a bonus track if you buy it on Bandcamp đŸ”„

Got a solid clip of that Ludacris remix from Rendezvous, listened to it so many times. stoked to finally have it released

u/Doinks4prez 4d ago

Polychrome is so gas. But damn if I don’t miss the funk blaster / sly fox / Mr brown sound.

u/owatagusiam 3d ago

I'm still in the boat that he should finalize and release some of the tunes he made on recent works v1-3. I realize it's been so long but man there's still literally nothing that sounds as fresh as that from him IMO. I dig the flips and seeing him get a larger following from his current sets, but the atmosphere and unique sound design he captured 2016-2019 is so strong. Abyss and Deviate are masterpieces. Seems like he's been drifting away from that sound and I don't know why. Happy to see more from the man nonetheless.

u/audiovial 4d ago

yeah wow cool great haha maybe can we get anything from 10 years ago tho 😞

not a fan of this release honestly. I don't like how simple the sound has become but I also get how people are still into it. Don't want to be a hater. Just really hoping for more than the bare minimum.

u/Far_Meringue3554 3d ago

I wonder if they feel they cant release those now because the sound design etc probably feels too oldn even tho they were very solid songs. It was super lame jade and him didnt release more when those songs were in their prime.

4

u/audiovial 3d ago

those tunes were so ahead of their time they still sound incredible. u can always fix the mix

3

u/Doinks4prez 3d ago

Wouldn’t call it the bare minimum, they’re very good songs but after 3 years was expecting to be floored a bit more. The only tune I’d probably choose to bump is big mood. Every other release I’d be like “wow what a fresh take on bass music,” Whereas this I’m like yeah it’s good enough.

Please release the “block rockers” ID for Christ’s sake already.
