Radio Mumdance - The Ping Report 2025
The Ping Report 2025 is built almost entirely from community-sourced productions and selections drawn from the MD Discord and beyond.
Essentially Instead of building a track around a kick drum, you begin with a single high-frequency sound — the ping — and let the track unfold around it. Because the ping sits high in the frequency spectrum, it leaves space for bass to move underneath while still holding the rhythm in place. Like weightless, ping isn’t a genre. It’s a framework, a way of thinking about structure and space. We think of the ping as a temporal anchor. It’s a simple idea, which is part of its strength. It’s opened up so many new directions for us.
Many early Different Circles tracks had ping sounds running through them. When I played them on the radio, the Discord chat would often react with a meme of Momotaros, a Japanese devil character.
Over time, I started playing more pingy tracks just to trigger the meme. In 2023, I broadcast a moodboard show called The Ping Report. From there, producers began sending in purpose-made ping tracks. That eventually led to the Ping Volume One compilation.
This 2025 report is the ping sound evolved, shaped through two years of incubation and quiet dialogue between a community of artists and listeners. It feels like a continuation of whatever was in the air during the Boxed era
If you know my discography, this mix sits alongside Shared Meanings, Twists and Turns, Pinch B2B Mumdance and FabricLive 80.
Thank you to everyone involved, especially the Discord crew. It’s been a joy to watch this grow so organically from a single meme. 😂
