This is something I've been working on for a few days. I have no idea how to describe it - maybe something like 'techy electro hip hop' or something?

It contains two very lenthy samples from two Wu Tang tunes (C.R.E.A.M. and Da Mysteries of Chestboxin'), hence the reason why I'm uploading this to Speedyshare.

Tomos - Rebel Till The Grave (Wu Tang Mix)

I tested this out in the car earlier and it sounded nice and heavy when loud. This is deffo music for driving to I reckon. Big Grin

I'd be very interested to know what anyone thinks of this. It's something quite different from me, something I hope you'll like. Big Grin

PS. Sorry for the big file size, it's a 320.

RMX!

Love the vocals. Did you pitch them a little? Maybe the bass could do better with less highs giving more space to the vocals. Thanks for the tune brutha. Z

You've been coming up with some interesting new work lately.

I don't really get the very beginning, it's a little discordant and the fading transition doesn't work as well as it does before the drop.

The drop is solid and I really like the bassline. Just an idea but it might work well with some more housey deep bass underneath going on half notes to really drive it in a 4/4 feel. (If that makes any sense!) I think overall the syncopation of the bassline and beat could use a more constant element to counteract with.

I can't put my finger on it but I don't think the vocal fits completely in stereo- it seems to be put over the track rather than blended into it. This could probably be fixed relatively easily though.

I like the little variations you work in as the tune progresses- very subtle but effective.

Nice tune overall, definitely works as driving music Smile

C.R.E.A.M (Cash rules everything around me)

I used to be quite the hip hop fan many a year back.

Still got a few of their albums somewhere abouts.

Am downloading now.

Shall listen tomorrow as it's 2:49am and have to be up early the morrow.

Hey Tomos, that is wicked mate. Well impressed by it. Only suggestion is to boost the sub a touch.

Gonna keep this mp3 Big Grin

do quite like the tune, again sounds tight and well produced.

love that bass sounds. the way it switches from stabby the more warpy, niiiice.

Only thing is, that vocal goes really out of time at points and its quite annoying to listen too.

As much as i like the Wu I think you should drop the vocal and work more on the tune behind it.

yeah that vocal just isnt right.

Maybe it'd work more if you got it sync'd better.
