Finished Tracks / Abissica - Rumble (Soundtrack Tech House)
« on: August 21, 2016, 02:10:49 pm »
So this is our latest, an epic string-driven soundtrack tech-house track, where huge drums and widescreen synths collide with bass heavy techno rhythms and 303 tweaks.  Or, as someone pointed out - “like Hans Zimmer meeting Acid House”.  It’s certainly unique.



Hope you enjoy!

Finished Tracks / Bassline House/ Breakbeats - 8b_tch vs Cult Heroes - Delta (8b_tch Bassbeat mix)
« on: March 17, 2016, 12:25:14 pm »

The first track of the new EP from 8b_tch and Cult Heroes sees bassline house collide with Prodigy-style breakbeats: A killer bassline with ridiculously funky drums add up to a surefire floor filler and bassbin mover.

Finished Tracks / Cobra Nero - dbxjr (Speed House) built on a track lost for 15 years!

Hello!  Here's my latest, a track that was started and (mostly) finished around 2001, lost, then found on a hard drive, re-edited substantially with new parts layered on top and a full new mixdown in order to bring it up to date.  It's great to hear it finished, especially after 15 years lost on a drive and knowing the amount of tracks that get lost and forgotten over the years! 

Somehow it's ended up a bit like the Floorplan like sound of Robert Hood, never a bad thing...

Samples/Plugins/Software/Gear / Why should I consider Serum?
« on: January 18, 2016, 11:43:40 am »
Hi - been looking at Serum as an alternative pad synth to go with Diva and my hardware (A4, System 1, Reface DX). I was originally looking at a Blofeld as both have wavetable synthesis but at £110 Serum is cheaper. I like the integration of LFO tool into it too. I do different types of dance both solo and collaboratively so don't need teh latest vengeance / garrix / etc type sounds as such, just a good, solid, impressive synth. Is Serum it? Or Spire, though reviews favour Serum. I'm on Mac so no Sylenth.

I also have Reaktor 6, Rounds and Razor plus Ableton's suite synths (and Diva). I sold Massive to pay towards Serum so won't be looking at that.

Samples/Plugins/Software/Gear / Korg Minilogue - Budget way of getting into hardware you've been looking for?
« on: January 15, 2016, 11:06:32 am »
Many of you who making electronic music will, at some point, consider stepping into the arena of hardware synths, often to break away from those contemporaries who use the same plug ins as you, or just to have a more hands-on approach.  Korg's newly announced Minilogue might just fit the bill then, a four voice polyphonic (one filter per voice, not paraphonic - one for all voices - like the Volca Keys) analogue synth, a proper knobs-and-sliders interface, program memories, even and oscilloscope (a real help in learning subtractive synthesis).  Looks and sounds great too, and $500 / £425 ish, it's a killer price point.

Pulsing, hypnotic synths spiral around a shuddering bassline and snapping rhythms - hope you like it!
