Might be a good companion watch for the linked article which gives more context I did not know about:
> The most beloved tracks in the game come from M.O.O.N., the Portugal-via-Massachusetts project of Stephen Gilarde. He was just 16 when Söderström and Wedin stumbled on his debut self-titled EP and offered to pay $400 for each track. As a high schooler with one EP to his name and no promotion, it was mind-blowing. “It’s a weird feeling to have my first thing be this cult classic,” Gilarde says over Zoom. “It changed my entire life.” A year prior, he was hospitalized with clinical depression and had dropped out of high school, twice. “At that point, I was just really angry at myself, angry at the world, at my small town—normal teenager stuff cranked up to a thousand and no real outlet for it.” So, he started making techno.
