(still having percussion issues). well at least im trying something a little different. peas, chips, and the usually assortment of table condiments. mej __ m-ej is taking a few steps back from forum life. 04-09-2010 10:30 goonybag Wicked Producer Registration Date: 12-11-2006 Posts: 349 Helpfulness rating:  atmospheric, intro is a little long, unless it was accompanied by visuals, i like the drum programming, has an interesting broken feel to it, although your snare and clap layer seem to clean for the track, id make them a little more low fi and maybe add a nice reverb so they mesh more with whats going on in that ethereal background, nice deep vibes. __ www.soundcloud.com/hyphae 04-09-2010 10:36 m-ej Master Producer Registration Date: 08-05-2008 Posts: 637 Helpfulness rating:  cheers goony m8 i agree about the cleanliness of the beats. just plucking up the courage to "destroy" all the hard work lol.

As you said you like your drums broken, I can hear it perfectly. This is so awesome. I like your drum pattern and the overall atmosphere of this track is so sick. Loving your work man it's getting good everytime. Keep up the good work!

Registration Date: 30-12-2005 Posts: 6,413 Helpfulness rating:  Sweet!Wouldn't know in which drawer this fits, but I get the impression that drawers are disappearing these days. I heard a track in this style from Instra:mental and something a bit faster from Burial (the king of weird and useless sounding breaks that work in his tunes). I would love to hear some more basswork in there, but that's a matter of taste. Quality stuff! Anyone complaining that this isn't for the dancefloor or doesn't sound like Noisia should grow up because that's not what making music is about. __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 05-09-2010 13:33 m-ej Master Producer Registration Date: 08-05-2008 Posts: 637 Helpfulness rating:  ez bd m8. yes burial has been a real big influence in what im trying to achieve im still a dnb head at heart tho. im just a bit caught up in the whole FG thing at the mo. (btw "only love" got some air time friday, so im walking around all big ego'd up) 1st time anything like that has happened with ma tunes to say that im chuffed is an understatement sir . cheers for the comment mr drone sir. (quick re-cap, dirty up the beats and more bass work) okey doks peace mej. __ m-ej is taking a few steps back from forum life. 05-09-2010 14:25 2clix Doctor Obvious Registration Date: 17-11-2007 Posts: 317 Helpfulness rating:  Sweet atmos going on in this, deffo dirty up that clap sounds to clean for sure, and with the broken drumming style you leave alot of space open for more bass, so like bd said more bass work. really nice track __ Time is never wasted when you're wasted all the time. 05-09-2010 19:45 m-ej Master Producer Registration Date: 08-05-2008 Posts: 637 Helpfulness rating:  many thanks m8. i'll get to work on those bits __ m-ej is taking a few steps back from forum life. 05-09-2010 19:52 dLO dannyLO Registration Date: 29-05-2009 Posts: 325 Helpfulness rating:  nice 1 here mate. this is a nice chiller. I agree w/ most of the other comments. dirty up the claps a tad, and some deeper sub would help, but that might be just my opinion. Glad to see people stepping away from the typical sounds. This is good stuff. Does remind me of d-bridge, instra:mental too. Drop us the updated track when you get it done. __ follow me here: http://soundcloud.com/dannylo 08-09-2010 16:09 m-ej Master Producer Registration Date: 08-05-2008 Posts: 637 Helpfulness rating:  ok man will do __ m-ej is taking a few steps back from forum life. 08-09-2010 17:04 Impact Wicked Producer Registration Date: 29-08-2010 Posts: 439 Helpfulness rating:  percussion is very different.. but great! I know how hard it is to make. Absolutely love the vocals used and the effects applied. Pads harmony works really well too.

Like the drumz, the kick can be a little heavier or longer with a little more bass. Like the vocals.
