love the sentiment of this tune. something i'm sure all uk man in here can relate to. shame the actual song is shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5WFiMWJmqo
people only talk about the barnt remix but their original stuff is great too
interesting bit of perspective, had a fag with hodge yesterday and he said as of about a year ago he's made enough money to quit his day job
>>51254183
i actually want to know this as well
>>51254183
It's one or two guys. The rest of /bleep/ likes him to various degrees
>>51254327
yeah big up listening to burial on the N2 on your ones in the rain in winter
>>51254183
yeah what this guy said, pretty much >>51254993
ghettoville is my favourite lp this year. xoul is one of my favourite eps of this year. i like actress... big up. plenty of other man here do too, except for s/t but he doesn't count
>>51254993
i used to see ppl talking shit about him on 3x3's and stuff when I browsed the rest of mu
>>51255020
idk man ghettoville felt weak to me and i havent listened to xoul yet
i heard that he made a podcast for xlr8r this year or something, you might wanna check that
>>51255030
>the rest of mu
m8 why even bother
>>51255046
fair enough man, ghettoville's not for everyone. xoul is worth checking... massively different vibes to ghettoville
willl take a look at that xlr8r thing...safe
I find the vinyl fetish, in a genre that presents itself as progressive, weird.
>>51255088
>hurr durr vinyl is old
mate it's integral to the genre/scene because of djs and dubplates etc
it's like saying it's stupid that 'progressive rock' is trying to be progressive but theyre using guitars, lol but guitars are well old!
be reasonable now fam
American scum fuck off
>>51255136
Why is it integral?
FLAC files sound better, are more versatile, take up almost no space and don't degrade.
>>51255170
mate it's not the americans that are scum, its general bellends that are
america got bare... uk got quite a lot though too tbf
>>51255178
tradition i guess? flac wasn't around when vinyl was at the core of all dance music
mate why do rock bands use guitars when they aren't very versatile, take up loads of room and degrade over time? idiots lol
any1 want anything of what
if its kool ill get it for u
>>51253919
Hey /bleep/s, would you consider this to be bleep music?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gES9e6p4tr0
>>51255205
>why do rock bands use guitars
Because it's hard to get the same sound with a different interface, especially when you want to improvise. A big part of it however is irrational fetish and the subconscious phallic symbolism of the guitar. I grant you that.

ed cox (he's fairly well known in the uk festival/free-party scene. makes gypsy/clown flavored hard tekno with accordions he's a right boy) posted this today:
does ''ive got that tune on vinyl'' actually mean ''i got a dusty crackly version of that tune which requires an awkard bit of equpiment that u cant touch,knock and a special input to play it'' discuss
THERE ARE PEOPLE (mostly americans) IN THIS THREAD RIGHT NOW THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A CLUB OR RAVE EVEN ONCE IN THEIR LIFE
>>51255606

lol
>>51255606
Means "pulling up" the arm of the player and playing the tune again. Synonym to a reload/rewind.

Being French, I was under the impression that 2014 was a great year for french techno.
It seems like we finally have a real techno scene.
How do you perceive it from other countries?

>>51255624
>tfw british and never been to a rave.
Actually feels quite goodman.
>>51256185
they were batty all, the lot of them. Got to vent in the clubs kept them from turning homocidal
>>51256185
this
the breaks on shy fx's just an example are i n s a n e. just mashed beyond belief. i can't think of anything that compares.... i don't think i could recreate it with all the benefits of having a digital system to work in, let alone fucking about on a akai / emu or whatever he used. they had serious dedication back then.
whats this exit 9 tune? i might have a listen to see if it compares.
>>51256187

thanks! it has a nice terekky feeling.
>>51256564
dude tahts what i was going for. i fuck love terekkes tunes man, so good. pic related is EP of the year for me currently
>>51255624
And that's sad.
>>51256437
i knew i recognized the tune name. yeah source direct were pretty top when it came to break manipulation. still doesn't come close to that shy fx album in my opinion. like, it's still good but i would know how to recreate it. it's just clever choppage more than anything else. and their mixdowns were a bit shit.
listen to it if you haven't, it really is incredible what they were able to achieve on such limited equipment. and t-power - the self evident truth of an intuitive mind. both of those have some serious science happening.
>>51256437
Hokusai is the best SD alias, Jade / Sculptures Hide is easily one of the best 12" ever.
Also Black Rose is one of Kode9's favorites, makes sense since it's amazing.
>>51256595
Yeah, that release was downright awesome. I liked Terekke since yyyyyyy, but it was perhaps leaning too much towards ambient.
I can't wait now for the stuff he posted on SC to be released.
Have you also been through his stuff as Enforce Team? 'L1' is nice, perhaps too long and weird in the end, but that's the kind of lush, dreamy sound I love.
>>51256626
>listen to it if you haven't
I have listened to both, several times. That T. Power album was in particular very far ahead of it's time. The Shy FX album just makes his current state so much worse, he went from GOAT to pretty much total shit. Still doesn't top this for me though.
Compilation album from Bizzy B, GOAT tier.

>FLAC is more versatile
this is just hilariously, stupendously wrong.
i take if you have no idea how DJing works or have even the slightest clue about related equipment and software. FLAC has plenty of merits, but "versatility" is not one of them, and definitively not for DJs

trips and it's 160bpm darkside 'ardkor
>>51256736
nah i havent heard that one, will check it out. i honestly think hes a wizard, wish i knew how to make shit like him cos id prob do it forever. i know he uses an octatrack with looks like an interesting piece of hardware but i also know more goes into crafting the sound than a sampler, so im at a loss
>>51257364
mine will confirm a vocal rnb collab
>>51256740
>>51256740
what do you think of this btw?
i made this like, real quick a while ago in a night and kind of got frustrated with the how meh the mixdown and how the actual music was kind of forgettable so i dropped it. this breaks talk kind of got me inspired to pick it up again. jungle is quite a trendy genre at the minute as well so i might try and work on it a bit lel . i think theres some half decent ideas there if i actually fleshed it out a little and made it a bit more into a song. i've learned a bit more since.

>>51257193
Damn this doesn't sound like anything either of them usually make. Should be good. Wasn't massively overly impressed with Seba's album on Secret Ops. Haven't heard that Mannerisms EP of his yet.
>>51257415
Be warned, I am a musical plebian so I cannot offer and actual worthwhile advice.
It sounded like the sort of soulful roller you would get on the B-side of an 'intelligent Jungle' kind of release. I usually prefer my Jungle to be faster:

>>51257599
i was going for that sort of thing. mournful jungle was the idea, i was trying to find some suitable vocals for it... but like i said. i did it in a night. i'm not happy with the way it 'drops' either, it just wasn't what i was going for but it kind of happened. it sounds a bit jump up-ish. obviously not completely but in terms of structure. i wanted to make it a bit more song-like than a complete club ban3r but i have terrible composition skills.

>>51257415
don't know if my ears are just tired but that snare sounds like it's had the life/transients crushed out of it.
bass is meh. in a serviceable way tho. like it's nice that the track's so open that the bass can have that much low end presence but it's just like
>'that's a bass sound. sounded cool when the break first dropped in with it but then it's just like...y'know... a bass. w/e/'
if nothing else it needs a bit of dirt. i like a bit of dirt. not like reecey garbage. just like sandpaper dirt.
mournful pads bleh.
the little synth melody is more interesting - sounds like it's in the same region as the pads. i imagine they don't play nice together.
needs dirt.
and a bit of atmosphere.
and clever sound design tricks.
and a hook.
maybe a big fucking kick. everything needs a big fucking kick in 2014.
breaks are chopped up fine doe.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHUryziXRmA
>>51257899
Well, let's get another opinion-poll going
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA0t6ErCtus
>>51257989
thanks for the feedback.
i did really squash that snare, but parallel to the source signal in order to counter-act it. i think vocaroo exasperates that.only problem was without squashing the transients in that way the snare just kind of fizzled out and didn't have any kind of body to it. i think it's a question of getting the release times nicer and more of a mix between the two. like i said, i've been reading a lot about that sort of stuff recently. i made that tune a good while ago now.
and yeah, in regards to the actual music... thats why i dropped it. it was just a bit generic in a lot of ways. but i still kind of like the idea of it, if i was to revisit it that structure would be scrapped, and there would be some more elements working together. and something more interesting bassline wise because it's just total crap at the minute, and it doesn't flow very nicely. i think the main reason it sounds so empty is because i was trying to find a nice vocal to go with it, but i never did in the end. like, i literally made it in a night so don't judge me too hard!
i thought a did a pretty decent job of the atmosphere prior to the break coming in! i might run those reverby hisses through paulstretch just so it's less obviously sequenced. i like it when stuff sounds more organic. but i was pretty pleased with that dark rumble atmosphere thing i had going.
