been liking a lot of grime stuff ive heard recently and thought id have a go at it. not techno, i know, but it'd still be nice to get a few comments on the production side of things.....

Sounds cool man but for this sorta thing you have to make all the sounds bigger and thicker since there aren't too many of them...
Could be a nice start to something tho ;)

rather short sample, but actually sounds pretty good

i just dont like the reverb on that bass, i'd rather here a delay (just my personally)

i'd like to hear where this track goes

cheers for listening, and yeh, sorry bout the length.....

so you reckon everything needs fattening up a bit xfive? or did you just mean certain parts?

i was considering the possibility of a vocal line when i started this, so wanted to leave a little room in the mix. saying that i might just fill the gaps with some more sounds, or reinforce the current ones. hmm. decision time.

ill try replacing the verb on the bass with a delay too, though i quite like how it's sounding at the moment, so we shall see.....
