Rome In Reverse Remix | Techno Jam Session with Elektron Digitakt

Blop š¾ - Here are some insights from this morning session. Currently working on Petite Victory Collectiveās latest remix contest. Trying to transform this original track from Rome In Reverse into an hypnotic, minimalist & techno trip.
For this one Iām embracing the minimalist approach by sticking to the Digitakt only for the songwriting and live performance. I then used Ableton for the final Mastering. I hope youāll enjoy the ride. Thankful for your time over here, as always.
Live Recording with Ableton Live.
Gear used: Elektron Digitakt
JOIN THE REMIX CONTEST!
We recently celebrated PVCās 2 years anniversary! Crazy how time flies. Within two years we managed to build and provide a safe place for the collective to grow up. Lot of music, initiatives, events, good vibes, friendships. A safe space where everybody is welcome to add something to the momentum while doing what they love the most.
To celebrate, we teamed up with our dear friend ROME IN REVERSE from Tela Vivi Records to create our first Remix Contest. To enter the contest you just have to download the remix stems for "Here Itās All Over" on our website and dial in your productions! Everyone is welcome to join the fun.

Good luck to everyone & please, remember to have fun!
*IMPORTANT!* Remixes may ONLY be shared on YouTube, TikTok, Soundcloud, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. No Uploads to Spotify or commercial DSP's. You need a writing autorisation from Rome In Reverse and us to be able to do so.

cstl ~ is the solo project of a french native musician, composer and electronic music producer. Today based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Long sleepless nights and a certain vision of aesthetics brought this project to life with the idea to create a musical base throughout which cstl could play whatever he would feel like, without any boundaries. Mixing energy, melodies and samples to forge his own recognisable style. Through his music, cstl is sharing different feelings with only one philosophy: making music that is all together artistically, technically, and emotionally engaged in hopes of establishing connections with all interested people.
