Actually just a fan of the whole Running Back Records sounds, love Move D's stuff as well - although quite different to tensnake.

Tensnakes signed to defected now isn't he?

How did the track begin?
The idea with ‘Coma Cat’ was to recreate an old memory, the exciting moment when you discover a really great tune for the first time. The kind of track you play 20 times a day and when it’s over you play it again. As far as I remember it took three days to produce – from the very first idea to the final mixdown.

How did it come together?
I produced it in my really basic home studio, using Ableton Live as a sequencer. The beats were programmed with Native Instruments Maschine, except the finger-snap, which is a very characteristic drumset sound from the Korg M1. (I used the plugin version, not the original synth). The M1 was used on many house tracks from the 90s by the way; the piano is also great. The bassline is from a Moog Voyager; as far as I remember I used a factory preset and tweaked it a little. The lead sound is actually a layered sound. I used the Jupiter 8 Arturia soft synth to get the old-skool analogue bell/steel drum sound and doubled it with a Marimba-like preset sound from my favourite FM synth, the Yamaha TX81Z. The vocal sample is from some random r’n’b sample CD, I just cut it and added some harmonies using Melodyne.
 
How did you get it to sound so old?
In the 90s people couldn’t afford a compressor for each track; the sound was way more open, but also also kind of rougher sometimes. I used the UAD 4K SSL plug-in on the main stereo signal to tighten things a little. The mix-down was also done in Ableton Live. I didn’t use too much compression so it would sound quite original.
