Nice beats and delicate sound with a twist ;-) Uke fits well into it.

This is fun and quirky! I can imagine a party with this playing. The imagery it creates makes me feel it would be a lot of fun.

First power trio I’ve heard led by a uke. The simplicity of the synths and uke is nicely offset by the density of the drums.

Haha! :))) Glad you dug those drums. Thank you!

A wonderful ‘happy dance’. A real mood lifter, and so clean. Top notch.

I totally dig! Actually I feel you kind of owe me for this hole in my floor now :P

amazing perc and ukulele additions to the original material. I’m always envious of people who can make these kind of housey progressive tracks, and from you, it’s a cool surprise :D

Wonderful!! Will duct tape patch it up? o_O

I never would have made a housey progressive track w/o your influence! (Hilariously, I’m not even sure what it is!) I just wanted a happy dance party for ya’! :D

pulse of the party indeed! i’m sick in bed, tapping my toes and bopping my head. such a clear quality in this mix. perfect introduction of each element. your uke additions are freakin’ brilliant. i’ve never imagined a uke could sound so electro. a crafted, fantastic arrangement. great work Kara.

I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been sick! Booooo. I’m glad this one got you tappin’ and boppin’! Thank you so much, snow. I had so much fun with Vid’s music. Guess what? It’s an electric uke. :D

Quite the blend of styles here! Not sure it’s my cup of tea, but it certainly sounds well put together.

I’ve always gotta mess with styles. :) Thanks for listening!

I love how this track sounds like you AND Vidian — it’s great. It’s got a super progressive dance beat but the quirkiness of your sounds. The production is fantastic — each element has a really gone tone, is well placed and everything is clear. Bravo! We’re so lucky to have you here, Kara!

Thank you so much, Susan. It’s really nice that you mention the clearness- I try hard to EQ and place everything just right. :) We’re so lucky to have you, too!! BIG hug!

This is kind of funny. It took me a time to dig it. But after about half the track you got me.
I love this especially because it is an unusual mixture of genres (I dig south eastern europe folk in here) which is still so typical Squarish

Thanks for giving it a chance to grow on you. :) Mixing up genres is one of my favorite things to do- I’m glad that you enjoyed that part of this.
