Gatkeeper

Designing Gatekeeper was all about capturing the rhythmic aggression and surgical precision that defines Infected Mushroom’s sound. The idea was to create a modulation powerhouse that felt more like an instrument than a utility.

I focused heavily on the curve editor—making it fluid, fast, and fun—so users could literally “draw” rhythm. Every visual had to reflect motion and sharpness: the neon waveforms, the kinetic timeline, even the micro-detail sliders all had to feel tight and tactile.

It was also a UX challenge—how do you give producers granular control without overwhelming them? We solved it by keeping the layout clean, icon-driven, and tempo-synced at every touchpoint. The final design reflects both the chaos and control that Gatekeeper offers—brutal modulation, wrapped in elegance.
