[dan the acid man]

this is a summer track, i feel like i should be layed out on a beach somewhere :cool:

i love the main synth riff that's run's throughout the track. this could end up being a very good track

[Frank Dogshit]

i had a listen to this last night scotty.

really liking this.proper nagging tough bassline that im really liking there.
sounds really different from a lot of techno ive heard around of late. :clap:

good work.

[Col]

nice. i think this is your best track to date scott. your productions are getting better & better. release worthy.

[Tiptoe]

yeah man this very good. As i have said to you before you remind me of umek minus the cheese and that a compliment mate cos i think he used to be the man at one point. Don't think you should have any probs getting this signed. Would send this to a label like jericho if i were you sounds like something they would knock out.

[dirty_bass]

Well scot, I¬m not a huge fan of the sound of this, it`s a bit old skool techno for my tastes.
But the production is all there man. Crisp, full range, nicely balanced.
The reverse kick swoop, clips a little and overrides the sub level of the main bulk of the tune, so it makes the bass sound weak, I`ve encountered this problem myself with swoops. Just back the bass off a little on it.
But yeah, top. Could easily see this on one of the more minimal Hood style labels out there, no problem. Get that CD sorted man, I eagerly await.

[jesus]

pretty nice,dirtys right about the old schoolness but i dont mind it so much. maybe do something with the bass or whatever it is,like filter an shit. could do with some pad or atmosphere runnig throughout in the back. i like it thiough.

[DJZeMigL]

yeahhhhhh Listening on my Adam's is tha Shi*!!! I can now slag all u biatc*s 4 poor prodution lol lol Just kiddin'


Here we go!!! :doh: :dontevengothere:


I would have prepared the Clap over the kick a little bit, 'cause it sounds a bit "unexpected".. distort it slightly for more grit.. remove a little bit of it's bass. Why .. cuase the compression shows a little bit by shrinking the bass on yer kick when the claps come in. .. so remove a little bit of clap bass freq, add a touch of verb 2 make it spread and sound a little more present and spread thus compensating in level and presence for the bass cut (I also like a little distortion, and I think it would fit the feeling of the track).

Like dirty said the reverse is a little loud, so is the main riff...

On the overall the track sounds a bit up front and so use yer panning on the hats and a little more on the claps (u still use fruity right?... use the little step settings for slight different panning on different notes - not the piano roll - ) a touch of verb ...


That's all the bad things I can say eheheh

Luv the kick.. but I'm affraid it might b a bit 2 punchy on some systems and mak'em far* a bit!!


Nice track !! ;)

cheers Ze!!!!

[Tyrisia]

I really like this, it's got that techno feel to it, I like the clap and bdrum especially, and the arpeggiated synthy thing adds a nice constant to the track.

[The Divide]

Sounding better man, you have filled it out nicely

Really liking the synth pattern

[The Overfiend]

I agree the synth pattern gives this song some emotion, the kick could be a tad harder, the break is cool, Lil verb on the drums maybe fill it up a lil more, But I definitely like where this goes after the break.
Good Job man totally.
