Yo, I really enjoy this tune. Fecking great hard Schranzy stuff along the lines of KD smith. I would most definately rock this one out!!!

[Dave Elyzium]

Hey thanks mate :) Glad you enjoyed it :) if you use CD's at all then feel free to give this a spin!

can anyone suggest any labels to target with this tune?? as im not really a techno producer at all so im not that clued up on the scene to be honest?

[Dj Swannie]

I really enjoyed this track too, i really liked the pan effect on some of the layers of the track, it made it sound alive & intresting to listen to. The kick & bass sound lovely together & im sure it will sound phat on a big sound system.

Good stuff i really liked it :twisted: :clap: :clap:

I think maybe Construct Rhythm or conform. Those two have a sound very similar to this ;)

[Dave Elyzium]

thanks for the feedback people - ive been quite guarded about people hearing any of my techno production as, like i said, im more of a part time techno producer but its really great to get such good feedback ;)

[dj vorny]

yeah i like this dave its a nice pounding tune :clap:

[Dave Elyzium]

after some feedback from mark, ive updated the file with the new version adding some more layers of perccusion to give it a bit more drive and depth.....what do you think?

[dan the acid man]

i was reluctant to listen to this as im not a fan of overly distorted techno, but this rocks, some really nice cuts, and not too much distortion, nice one :cool:

[Dave Elyzium]

cheers dan :)

The production is nice, but in terms of the tune itself, by about the 3 minute mark, I was already a bit bored. This kind of techno is so old now, I think to make it worthwhile you really need to do something that stands out.
Try adding a lot more crazy edits, and some kind of activity after the break that adds more energy than the tune had before it.
Maybe some more crazy synth action or something.
But there was loads of stuff around like this in 1999 so I think maybe you need to check out more techno to get an idea of what is going on these days.

this is really good stuff. could use a little bit more development in terms of cue points for long mixes but other than that I'd play it without a second consideration.

Safe as ****. Excellent separation of the the sounds. Love the breakdown. Is quite loopy, but not overly so. Good stuff...

You say you don't usually produce techno - What style do you usually write in?

[Dave Elyzium]

yeah ditto dirtys words exactly.. ive heard this same track about 10 times before so i think it needs somthing to stand out.. but the production is pretty good etc and it will do what its supposed to i guess.. but i dont know if its worth it when there are so many others the same.. ;)

[slavestudios]

i like the loop & the progression but not a fan of the breakdown.

however, thats jus personal. good production.. top track :clap:

[orac]

i love sound that appears in 2'33 and this breakdown reminds me a track of boris s "hello sindy" on bitshift 008 :)

really like this production :clap:

[j_s]

Just something I noticed - the eerie melody that creeps up in the breakdown sounds maybe a bit too similar to the piano hook in ASYS's acid nightmare. Stilll, sounds much better in your version.....

well theyre both sampled from the Nightmare On Elm Street theme so whatdyado??? but fair point on reflection....
