Dirty Bass - The Black Lodge - Gangster Techno Funk

[dirty_bass]

Here`s a tune I`m submitting to a cetain label for an EP they want me to do.
I`ll sneak it up here for a while, cos I want some final opinions before it goes off.

It`s straight 4x4 stuff with big a Dirty B-Line.

sick bass dude. reminds me of a scary german record in my collection I dare not touch unless I've had all bran in sizable protions. Very nice work. top filtered synth. tribal percussion is ace. very proper techno.

[stjohn]

very nice work..... i wouldnt be the biggest fan of those dark DnB style basslines as a central element, but i love that funky little loop...thats the type of loop u could listen to on its own for about 3 hours. (if im st*ned)

but nice work man everything gels well!!

maybe a bit more strength to the kick????????

[BRADLEE]

dude, fecking nice Steve, as always man. This is the type of stuff that made me a fan of you from the beginning. Just as the name idicates..."DIRTY BASS". Love the little vocal stabs, the bassline is also very nice, and I love the oldskool samples of "The Rhythm that makes you move".....Full on dancefloor distruction!!!

[Ritzi Lee]

That bassline is totally you!
Very cool.

But i was hoping you have more work on mix of your drums.
They are all very much centered in your stereo image.
A little panning will do the job.

Creation of the admosphere is cool!

[dirty_bass]

well, I don`t generally bother with stereo for mono vinyl cuts

I`m beefing up the kick and the percs a bit and will repost though.

[audioinjection]

dirty bass comes with it again

nice phat dirty bassline (of course ;) ), wicked freaky synth, and percussion is nice as well

i dont really see a need to beef up that bassdrum, since it might take away from your bassline.............well, i guess if eq'd properly it can work

good job either way dude

[Traxx]

Liking this one mucho. What label is this gonna be on so i know to look out for it?

[dirty_bass]

I`ve remastered this again.
Cleaned it up and beefed up the kick and percussion.
Same Link

I don`t wanna say what label I`m sending it to, cos it`s part of a package they have asked me to submit, and they may not choose this particular tune.
If they decide to use this one, then I`ll put a thing in the promo section.

[steelgrooves]

Man thats some good stuff.. I also really enjoyed the one you recently put up for gotham grooves i believe it was.. Any how Ive been buying your realeses for a while now and it sounds like more are on the way so :clap: BRING EM

[Barely Human]

Really liking this man, something that i can listen to and has depth, instead of a single loop track :nono: I would love to hear the stereo version.

Good work fella :cool:

[EmotionComplex]

wow this is great :twisted:

[dirty_bass]

The last version posted has a broader stereo image.
The thing is, no clubs run soundsystems in stereo (I`ve installed a few), so using the stereo image too much, is a waste of time.
Unless it`s for an album release or something.

[Joe Mc]

OMG.

I cant wait to let my mate hear this he will love it, its kinda of sinister. i really like the vocal and bass.

Joe.

[xfive]

This is quite proper :clap: :cool:

true true.
unless you have a studio ear.
somehow it'll influence the overall impact of a track.
don't know how to put it in words exactly.

[dirty_bass]

To be honest, this is an old track that I have remastered and tweaked for 2005.
So I`ve lost the sequences for some of the patterns I made and only have the loops I made out of them, that I use in my live PA, that runs in mono.
So I wacked em back into the studio and remade this.
There`s not a lot I can do to get good stereo imaging with the percussion, even if I wanted to.

[dan the acid man]

this is great, peak time dancefloor material

[dirty_bass]

I promise the next Voidloss will be so stereo it makes you feel sick :oops:

best get a bucket handy :pale: :shutup:

[j_s]

fat as.
the vocal seems a little obvious, maybe even detrimental to the mood of the track, but thats a minor point.....

[dirty_bass]

The vocal is a little obvious yeah, I agree, it`s peak time stuff.
But I can`t go sending dark and serious experimental music to every label that asks me for tunes, it just doesn`t work like that.
One of my suicidal bits of spoken word wouldn`t go down well for something aimed at the more mainstream techno side of things.

Sometimes you have to fit to certain styles and moods.

[j_s]

yeh. fair play.......

sellout ;)

[geelist]

I love this :love:
:clap:

[dirty_bass]

Cheers, it`s been a part of my live PA for a while, and it seems to get the crowd jumpin, so I thought it was about time, I gave it to someone.

[Mindful]

This is minted mate. :clap:

[Jay Pace]

Really tight, good strong clear kick throughout.

Vocal jars a little, but probably best heard over a rig where it would benefit from the clarity.

:clap:

[Trip Head]

Yeh this is spot on!

[MITA]

.. i like this track A LOT!

thumbs up dirty ;)

[fatcollective]

i like this, its tribal, trancey and chunky clubby techno all in one. love the riff with the synth flying in the background, nice break down and kicks in well...great track man, whatever label you send this to, they should be pretty impressed mate, wikid :clap:
