Ez all, haven't uploaded anything since 2008 (and that was a disgrace ) Hopefully this sounds better! Bigupz everyone and all comments much appreciated! __ Astrocyte - Kill em All, Track #10 from Team_174 "Off World" LP (FREE) 31-07-2011 18:22 Wally D Cool Steppa Registration Date: 02-06-2008 Posts: 162 Helpfulness rating:  Very good tune overall. I would layer a slightly more crisp kik and snare. They just sound a lil muddy. After that, think its good to go. __ http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/store/Infinite-Recordings http://soundcloud.com/wallyd79 AIM wallyd79 31-07-2011 19:38 BattleDrone 2161... the future.

Tune get's repetitive after a while. __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 31-07-2011 19:58 Astrocyte Chef 'n' Bass Registration Date: 24-09-2008 Posts: 738 Helpfulness rating:  ez dudes, thx for the comments @BD - hmm, there's 2 breaks layered in there but literally only a couple of hits from each... the rest is my programming. Could you be a bit more specific? Thx man. And yeah, it IS repetitive/monotonous in 2 sections (imo)... after first drop and after second drop + 32 bars (or so)... I'm workin on it __ Astrocyte - Kill em All, Track #10 from Team_174 "Off World" LP (FREE) 31-07-2011 20:08 Galeforce Producer Registration Date: 07-11-2010 Posts: 11 Like the intro and the darkness. A little repetitive in places - cld do with changing it up a bit. Good effort with sweeping bass. 31-07-2011 20:37 goonybag Wicked Producer Registration Date: 12-11-2006 Posts: 349 Helpfulness rating:  Great intro, very theatrical indeed. I think the snare in the drop may need just a very slight layer, the mids are spot on, but lacks a very subtle layer. The growls on the reece are spot on, and move along nicely, sub sits pretty well. Overall, very enjoyable mate. __ www.soundcloud.com/hyphae 01-08-2011 11:44 BattleDrone 2161... the future.

Well done. __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 02-08-2011 08:26 Rythor1 D.R.U. Registration Date: 03-08-2011 Posts: 124 Helpfulness rating:  This track definitely has potential, the opening lead in is pretty cool although I'm not big on the evil laugh sample, these always come off as slightly cheesy to me. The bassline in this track is very nice, as well as the breaks, very good work there. One thing I felt that was lacking a little was the drums, I think they would definitely benefit from some ghost snares or extra high hat hits, just to bring them out in the track a little more. Also the filter sweeps in the end of the track sound like they could use a little resonance to make them a bit more interesting, maybe even draw them out alittle longer as well. Overall a pretty nice track though, well done. 03-08-2011 15:13 Dub Bananez Dub Bananez Registration Date: 06-10-2010 Posts: 394 Really like your sound and style. Ever hear the tune by "B-Complex- Out of the box" Your intro shocked me in how simular it was. The song is no longer on online, I used to drop it on the dancefloor when spinning out; if you like I would be happy to send it to you. I had to dig back to 2006 to find the song, I ended up playing them at the same time and the intro on both almost matched completely same tempo and keys. Love the bass and the different synths, they are used in the right spots. Your drumz are solid with good patterns. Great tune. I would like an MP3 if you got a sec. to send it to me.
