Anyone interested in collaborating on a track or an EP? I work in Live 12, but as long as we can swap WAV files back and forth, that can do the trick. I tend to write tracks inspired by future garage, but with a bit of an edge. You can reference my work by looking up Petrichor Ocean on Youtube or Spotify or whatever.

Being a FG producer myself, and an introvert at that, I find it difficult to come out of my bedroom and play my music live. While I get that it's a genre that's more tailored towards introspective "meditations". But sometimes, it feels that like minded people can very well enjoy a silent, retrospective live experience. Last year, I tried reaching out to many clubs here in India and pitched my sound and music style. To be honest, this is like "alien music" to them here and I know it's like a decade long before this genre gets picked up in India. But when I look around the world, I seem to find no dedicated festivals where artists like me can in a "safe environment" market their music and reach more listeners. Apart from the Russian festival -Abstrasension, which also sometimes explore, other genres, there are no festivals dedicated for us FG artists. My dilemma and question are in 3 parts:

1. Why is it the case? Why no more live festivals? Is it that listeners themselves are like us more introverted and like to hear their music on "airpods" instead and go deeper inside themselves?

2. How does one, like me, who have listeners outside my home country, reach out to more people? Spotify streams and algo seems like a joke. How does one really "make it" in FG music?

3. And lastly, how does one support themselves when there are no live tickets to sell, stream money is nothing, and reaching out to more people is hard? How can one find peace in creation when there is no one listening to you and no money for you to pay bills.

I'm looking for a song from around the very early 2010s. I used to listen to it on YT. The visuals were just of red flowers, the the YT channel (which was dedicated to future garage) always used flowers I think.

The song was a sparse Phaeleh type beat and a piano melody on top. There was a kind of drop, but it went more into a deep piano melody vibe rather than something focused on the beat / bass

That's all I got!

My attempt to revive the sub a little , a change from just seeing links posted:). Any artists you feel need more recognition or have been into lately? Appreciate any comments.
