New Cover! - Breakbunny Singles Vol. I
Hey everyone!Just wanted to share some new art I had commissioned for an upcoming single release! This will be part of a single series for my upcoming LP, Now That I Have You! The first track I'm planning to release is Sweet Baby!, along with a bonus track which I will choose later. As some of you might remember, for the album itself I went for a SebastiAn style cover. You can see it here if you missed it! -https://www.patreon.com/posts/41834163I thought I'd keep up the theme of spoofing some of my favorite album covers, so for the thre...
Magic Wand! (Lossless)
Hey Rotti Patrons!Hope you're all doing well! As I mentioned in the MP3 post, this track is supposed to be a throwback to my usual sound! What I forgot to mention there however, is that this track is actually a Patreon - only release! I'll be honest here - the sample is way to popular for me to post this anywhere... Usually I go a little deeper with my sample hunting, but I really just wanted to practice doing some chops again, to get in that mood. I feel like I haven't made a straightforward Future Funk track in ages! So enjoy this...
Magic Wand (Patreon Exclusive!)
Hey everyone! Happy Friday!This week's track is intended as a throwback to the classic Mere sound! As last month's patrons know, I've been experimenting a lot recently with new sounds and directions! I've tried playing bass and indulging in more chilled out sounds, and now I figured the time was right to try something a little more oldschool Future Funk! I've noticed that people have started recognizing my music as having a certain sound (the "Studdah Chop," as my friend Barbwalters calls it). As much as I want to tr...
Update 11/02/20
Happy November!Thanks everyone for sticking with me this month! I have some new projects I'm working on that I wanted to keep you all updated with! I should be posting these soon, but I figured I'd give you all a heads up.New Future Funk track coming soon!As you guys might now, I've really been experimenting with new sounds recently. I've made a few tracks involving my bass and slowing the tempo down, etc! However, I figured it's time I should try returning to a sound I'm sure you'd all appreciate, which is heavy hit...
Scratched (Lossless)
Hey Rotti Patrons!I'll start off by saying I have a new video coming up soon... It'll be something new, not something I've done before. Hopefully you'll like it! I'll be reading your names at the end like usual.Anyway, here's a new track! I named this track after the last track I listened to before making the post, Scratched by Etienne de Crecy. It's one of my favorite tunes! I should also mention here, while this song is an instrumental right now, I am considering adding vocals to it! That should explain why the oth...
Scratched (Instrumental)
Hey everyone! Happy Friday! (And almost Halloween!)I don't have a very spooky track for you all tonight... Instead, take this chill jam I cooked up! I'm once again experimenting with playing more bass and guitar on my tracks on this one. Another thing that might be seeping through in my music is all the chill french house jams I've been listening to recently! Alright alright, I do listen to plenty of Future Funk as well, like Fibre, Skylar Spence and Ev.exi, who I've taken plenty of influence from on a number of tunes. However, ...

Introduction for new Patrons!
Hey everyone! I've been getting a lot of new patrons over the past week, so I want to make a post welcoming you all! I also want to say thank you, as I really appreciate every new member. Welcome to the club!There's a few things I want to mention to you guys now that you're in! First, we have a Patreon-exclusive discord server you can hang out in:https://discord.gg/TJzwRg8You can talk to me directly through here! I'm always on discord (and I prefer it to Patreon pm's, which can be a little glitchy and weird at times)! If you...
Interlewd 3 (Lossless)
Hey Rotti crew!Here's the new Interlewd, in lossless form. There's a lot of original instrumentation in this one, so I'm happy to share it with all of you! I'll also give away a little more info to you guys, since you're donating a little extra: I actually had a lot of fun recording bass for this track. So much so that I'm considering making that the focus of my new album. I'm going to put together a nu-disco record, with pop vocals and plenty of funky bass guitar to go around!That's the plan for now, anyway. I&#...
Interlewd 3
Hey everyone!Welp. Here it is. The long awaited sequel! I hope it's saucy enough for all of you. Technically this is the third in the series, but what I'd love to do is just name it interlewd, same as the first. That way, if anyone ever searches up the name they'll get this song instead of the original. It's even the exact same length! Look it up.If you're wondering why I made a sequel to one of my worst songs, I have a few reasons:1. It's funny.2. I was assigned to make something sensual as a demo for a music job.While ...
Update 10/21/20 - Announcement!
Hey everyone!I received a question earlier about merch, and I feel like this is a good opportunity to reveal one of the projects I've been hard at work on. I don't want to give away too much information yet, since I'm still hard at work on getting everything ready for a public announcement. But I figured I should keep you all updated with what I've been up to!I'm starting up a label!I'm starting up a new label specializing in tapes and merch! The label will be focused around my music and a select number of artists I'...
Last Night! (Lossless)
Hey Rotti patrons! Happy Friday!Here's my new nu-disco track with Matthew Clanton and Doktor Plekter! I'm really happy with Clanton's performance on this track, you can really tell he gave it his all! I figured for the Rotti exclusive post of the week, I'd take some time to explain exactly how this track came together. Everyone's contributions:- Doktor Plekter was a large part of the process of putting the track together! He supplied the synths, bass, some percussion and sample chops! He also did the solo at the very end and...
Last Night! (With Doktor Plekter & Matthew Clanton)
Hey everyone! Happy Friday!For this week's weekly song, here's a track I worked on with both Doktor Plekter & Matthew Clanton that I just finished a rough mix of! As you can tell, I'm giving the whole pop vibe of Sample Heaven another shot. This should be the first of a few more vocal tracks I'm planning, an exciting showcase of what's to come!I'm hoping to get at least an EPs worth of pop, nu-disco sounding tracks with vocals. I'll be aiming for more of a laid back vibe than what's on here generally, with more o...
Wavepool 2020 Patreon Release!
Hey everyone! Finally put together that Wavepool Patreon release. Hopefully this should bring back some good memories! One day I'll go ahead and cook up some more material for a live show and make a full live LP, but for now enjoy Wavepool 2020 as a preview of what I have planned for the future!As is the norm now, I included both my Rotti and Solanin tier patrons at the end of the video. As always, I hope I read all your names right! Enjoy the video and take care everybody. I have some good stuff to share with you all on Friday! Peace - m
Update 10/13/20
Hey everyone!I just wanted to share an update, since I've been really busy with music stuff and I figured I should keep you all in the know on exactly what I've been doing.So first of all, I want to thank the new patrons! Welcome to the team. I'm hoping to include you all in the next Patreon release video, so stay tuned for that! (I pushed back the Wavepool video to Wednesday due to all the work I've had on my plate, which I'll explain here...)I've had a few things come up that I've been super busy dealing with:- Fir...
Just For Me (Lossless)
Hey Rotti Patrons!Happy Friday! I've been working on recording your names for this Sunday's Wavepool Patreon release video, though I think so far the list will be pretty much the same as the last one! Still, I'm glad you guys are sticking with me, so I want to do it anyway to show my appreciation!This week's new track is a remix, as mentioned in the MP3 post. This started out as a recreation of sorts, though I was just doing it to get some good practice in with my chops. However, when I decided to go in the direction of a remix,...
Proux - Just For Me (Edit)
Good morning everyone! (It's 6AM as I type this!)Here's a song a messed around with a while ago! This project actually started with me trying to remake the chops to Just For Me by Proux, all by ear. It was a long, tedious process, but the results are the chops you hear at the very beginning! The rest of this remix is just me having fun with the sample, since it's actually a pretty smooth track. I should also mention that the voice snippets you hear at the beginning and end are all DJ Shadow, one of my biggest inspirations. You can e...
Update on Upcoming Albums!
Hey everyone!I was thinking about this analogy at work today: making a new album is like putting together a puzzle. Except you don't have all the pieces right away, and you have to make 'em as you go. I hope that makes sense. I don't know!Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I'm hard at work making new songs, going in different directions and trying new things. As a result, I've also been messing around with the album I had ready previously, Now That I Have You.If you're not in the know, here's what I previousl...
New Patreon release + Reading out names!
Hey guys!Today I was finally able to put up "Feel My Tempo" on my youtube channel, which I posted here back in early September! I took the opportunity to read out some more of my Rotti patrons' names here, as there's actually been quite a few new members! I plan to keep this momentum going with a new video coming out every week, be it a mix video or a new track!If you watch the ending section of the video, you'll notice that I included the names of Solanin tier members as well. I figured, while there are too many members of ...
Sade (Lossless)
Hey Rotti Patrons! Happy Friday!Here's a new, more experimental track from me! As mentioned in the MP3 post, I originally created this groove as a way to break out of the habit of creating the same 4/4 beat with every track I worked on. That might explain why it's pretty different! (I did continue the bad habit of naming the track after the artist I sampled, though!)In other news, I'm hard at work on Sunday's single release video! I plan to have your names scroll past the screen, or something fancy among those lines. I'm con...
Sade
Happy Friday everyone!For today's track I'll share something I started around April or May, when I was experimenting with a different direction to go in after making Sample Heaven. I was getting a bit tired of working with the same 4/4 nu disco groove with every track, since I felt I was maybe getting stuck in a formula. So for a little while, I started practicing making grooves in a different way than I was normally used to, at slower tempos. This track is one of those grooves!For another example of tracks I made during this time, you ...

Update 9/29/20 + Asking for your opinions!
Hey everyone! Hope you've all been doing alright! I have a break from work this week, so I'm eager to get some more stuff done for the Patreon in between my classes! Mainly, I want to get another live set video up by tomorrow! It's been a while since the last one, and I want to give thanks to the patrons who joined me this month.I've also been thinking of starting another Patreon release series, where I release a few old tracks I have stored here. First I want to release them on Youtube, and eventually when I have a good number ...
My Love Remix (Lossless!)
Hey Rotti patrons!I noticed recently that I've been getting a few new patrons in the Rotti tier, and I just want to thank you guys for coming aboard! It really blows me away that people are willing to support me, and I want to do my best to make sure you guys get your money's worth and enjoy your stay!I also want to briefly mention that I have a discord server open for Patrons, in case any of the new patrons haven't joined yet. I mainly use this to keep you guys up to date with new posts, and I'm always on discord, so if you guy...

Album Art (Version 2)
Hey guys!Here's the finished version of that sketch I posted a few days back. For now, I'll consider this picture to be alternate album art for my upcoming album, Now That I Have You. However, I am currently working on new material! If what I come up with is enough to base a new album around, I'll definitely consider using this art!Sketch - https://www.patreon.com/posts/41643123With how nicely the commission turned out, I really want to take the time to make sure the music is up to snuff. I'll be working hard on some new tracks ...
Doktor Plekter x Mere (Lossless)
Hey Rotti patrons! Happy Friday! Here's the lossless version of the instrumental me and Doktor Plekter are working on. As I mentioned in the MP3 post, I'm hoping to get vocals on this track. I'll let you guys in on an extra little scoop though:As a vocalist, I'm considering commissioning Matthew Clanton. Some of you might know him as the singer on Liftoff by Discoholic!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZFb8zP6o0cAs this is still a work in progress, I might change my mind. But that's the plan as soon as we get the instrumental...
Doktor Plekter x Mere (WIP!)
Hey everyone! Happy Friday!As some of you might know by now, one of the people I enjoy collaborating the most with is my friend, Doktor Plekter. We've done a few tracks together at this point, and I want to keep that streak going!A while back I asked Plekter if he'd be interested in getting something else done in the future. As a result, he sent me these awesome synth and sample chops. I heard a lot of potential in them, so I decided to organize them into a pop song format, which is what you're hearing here!Plekter has offered to se...
Sketch #2
Hey everyone! Just wanted to share another sketch I got done from Gato del Futuro! I decided to use the other sketch zSloth drew for me in this post and get it completed! I'm still considering what I want to use this sketch for. I might have enough material for two albums, the Black One sequel I was planning for and Now That I Have You, the other album I finished a couple weeks back. If that's the route I end up going, I'll have two albums coming up throughout the next year or so!I'll keep you guys updated on what I decide to do...
