Please check out my new track 'Centipede' and post your comments here!!!


Well, my buddy Equipped just uploaded a track right as I was converting this one to MP3 - talk about synchronicity bro! I'll be checking out Donkey stone as well as a bunch of others (stutterstep, reckon etc. to name a few) tomorrow night (my girlfreinds already pissed I've spent all weekend in friday's boxers working on this one).

I've been listening to quite a bit of pendulum lately and figured the biggest difference between their sound and the big names of the late 90's (among other things) is that they don't push their levels at all. So I've tried on this one to make sure there is no clipping, or interference between sounds before getting carried away with editing. All the synth sounds are from the Albino 2 (thanks funke1) and filtered with Tonic and the rest are single hits (mostly sampled from hip hop vinyl by my brother) loaded into Kontakt 2 (thanks Magoo!) - no loops and no amens (suprised?). I also was reading a thread last week about fade outs and I personally love them if done right - like in the big anthems of late 70's supergroups like yes and supertramp when the drummers going nuts (or like the last track on Cannibal Corpse's Tomb of the Mutilated) - anyways this is my take on it - complete with big stinking cheese muzak chords.

intro synth sounds are good... nice atmosphere... dont really like the reece sorta bassline that much. some main synths are really cool and give it that california hip hop flavour. i like the tom rolls. cool shit. production seems fairly tight... not pendulum tight... but pretty tight.. and the hip hop stab sounds are good. and the pads lol. very nice arrangment, flows nicely. just different vibe/flavour to what i like. but still very good for what it is.
keep up the good work mate. Bigup

This is a step outside the norm, really like'n this tract, nice and fresh sound, almost has a "Rush - Subdivisions" feel to it. Interesting choices in synth, nice vocals drums are great, have a nice live feel to them! This is a very solid track, great from start to finish. Sounds like you are really pushing Kontact 2 (needs to get my hands on that one) The intro is great by the way.

Great track, well put together, very unique sound. Digg'n It!

sounds lke sculpture in the start. Wink

i love how you toms thoes arn't easy..

and a very cool sound. nice chords. very dancy sounding stabs.


and the fade out thing is mostly a dj thing, hard to cross fade when the volumes dropping at the end, that's why.

The intro is good, but the saw really turns me off. Really old school as in MOD and S3M-style, if you know what I mean.
90s. Cheers Bigup

lol@the same pattern playing in the start, i'd change that Tongue Dang, i love those types of bass leads - where there is a melody, and a good one! Really likin' it, but can't really feel the flow, even thought i know there is flow there Big Grin After around 2:50 i begin to feel the flow, yeah, good shit! Fuck yeah@the part after 4:00!!! Bigup A more original ending'd be appreciated, but fuck that!
The part after 3:00 is what i loved about the track - before 3:00 was basically a build-up as far as i see Big Grin

Good job nevertheless, i love all your works, keep it up! Bigup

Shocked lol i wasnt expecting this

sounds quite experimental, which is good! Big Grin

the main lead is a bit overpowering or maybe just to loud. sounds really nice a soft though. i like that even softer sounds like at 1:26.

ive got a feeling youre gona turn this into a killer!

Amazing!!!!!

This is wicked, sounds very pro.

Intro string is really nice, and the samples fit well

Synths sound fat, they bounce off each other very nicely

The second drop is brilliant.

Drums fit this track perfectly and sound great.

the only thing i dont like is those grunting samples, personally i dont think they fit.

This track is great, well done Bigup Bigup Bigup

this is totally not my style but i liked it a lot, only the string in the intro on it's own sounds a bit to cheesy to me, but when the beats kick in they compensate that feeling enough, the synths in the song go nicely together and the beats sound crisp , it has a really nice flow and good variation, maybe start the outro a bit sooner , don't now why just had the feeling with the last couple of measures that it was a bit to much of the good stuff .

overall, clean production and good sounds ; A nice one

Alright man,figured I had to check out the new tune. Intro is cool, think it would sound nicer with a real guitar though. Youre loving thoses tom rolls, youve used them in a couple of tunes recently. I like the bass line, the tone is a little dull though. The chords are nice too, but again im not too keen on the tone of them. Im really likeing the little chord breakdowns, really nice arrangement. This has a sort of of computer game vibe to it, which Im not sure is a good or bad thing, would fit right in for a ridge-racer game or something, especially the 3-2-1. The production is great and all the little synth lines and percussive fills work really well, I think the vocal uh-uh-uh-ah stuff stands out a bit too much but thats probably just me. I like the chord changes and arrangement, has a sort of prog rock feel to it, but I think that the chord and lead sounds also have a prog-rock thing, which isnt so good IMO. Overall it sounds great, everything comes through clearly and defined, and the mix is nice and spacious. However I really dont like the style, as I said previously, it sounds like computer game music, and the sounds are somewhat tacky in places, I dont like this nearly as much as your other stuff but I guess thats just the style rather than the production which is top notch btw.

pretty good stuff here. fine pads and sounds. very nice.

in the end it seems bit of disorderd. you could change the rave synth from time to time. its too simple imo

interesting song.

sounds really crisp.

i find the main synth to be very video game'ish. kind of reminds me of Contra.

the production is great as usual.

drums sound a bit flat. kick doesnt seem deep enough.

the drop at 1 min 40 is really nice. love the toms

nice work. cheers.

Thanks for the reviews. Ya this is definately an experimental track. Many of my tracks seem to be overdriven and high in the mids - the result of tweaking and layering indesciminently. On this track I wanted to take very simple elements (a clean snare, kick, hats, toms, 2 crashs and one Albino preset) and make a track that has a dedicated frequency range for each element and avoid any clipping. However, it seems that I've totally squashed the dynamics of the track. Interesting experiment, but I'm happily back to working on a dark and heavily edited track which hopefully will be a bit cleaner and better mixed than some of my old tracks. All a learning experience. (I'm still lovin' the 80's Van Hallen - Jump synth though - rubs some people the wrong way I realize). Thanks again for your helpful comments.

Ha, this is a great one.
Its funny, what you were saying about pendulum and the like, with thier un-pushed levels and whatnot, cuz thats sadly what i've been going for all along (and obviously failing) with my sound. I'd like to have tracks without any clipping or frequency interfence but thats where my production capabilities fall short. (would've definately come in handy for The Leech) Dont know how much i can master a track in FL3.56 but i'm sure theres plenty i dont know about.

but enough about me...

I really like the intro guitar, sets up the atmosphere for what i thought was gonna be another dark track, heh. The drums are superclean and smooth too, seem a lil empty tho. I think the challenge with producing these kind of tracks is getting it to sound heavy and clean at the same time. I'm lovin the cheesed up synths too, gives it a real "retro" sound.

Oh and speaking of retro, I just aquired Paul Anka's Rock Swings album (where he does covers of popular rock tunes from the 80's and 90's) and theres a cover of Jump, hahaha... worth checkin out

No, its a string bank from the kontakt library and experimented with reversing the reverb (also on the two chord synth).

Love the intro and the first drop, comes in really smooth ...

I must say this is a very calm song if you compare them with your others, a very soft 'n' chill drum you used ...

don't like that synth there in the back, I heard that one allot man ( the one going up and down constantly ) ...

Well what must I say, this isn't my sort of dnb so i don't like it that much ...

But the production is cool and smooth, but I like the harder tunes of yours ...

Later Pleased
