right. serious this time..
i do like this. its raw & uncluttered. this is the type of thing i love djing with. real fantic mixing with lots of fx & cuts & movement.
though i totaly see eyes & db's point. this is to do with their preference of musicality over percussion i guess.
a lot of the criticism ive had towards my work is about the structure, but thats because i'm from the school of quick mixing & i used to play techno that can be mixed at any point. i dont like leaving a record dry for longer than 4 bars, then i HAVE to be back in the mix. and i make trax that suit this..
its just different styles.
and i really dig the no bassline thing. excellent tool. droppin a real bass heavy Amok track after that would destroy a dancefloor.
but you have to know when to drop it ;)
would this be a good place to possibly swap sample files for each others trax & see who changes what how ?
Well yeah, I was jokin, DJ`s don`t need to die, but my concerns are more with music, than with what goes on within the confines of the DJ booth.Quote:

The music I make is for me, but hopefully people will enjoy dancing to the dancefloor stuff.

anyway, back on topic, i always add a touch of seasoning to really bring out the flavours, ....................................oh, wrong post :doh: :lol:
hmmm, not bad, but i didnt like the synth in there IMO
and i think that movie sample is a bit too loud in the mix
i think its great. will certainly work on the floors and thats what matters.
as for the ongoing saga about dj tools. I think people take things far too seriously, end the end of the day techno is a scene where a dj plays tunes to a club full of up for it people who are out to have a good time and dance. its not that complicated really is it?
some people on here seem to totally loose that idea and think its something else. if you are one of those people i suggest you go out and maybe have some fun for a change and take a break and understand what its all about again.
*** awaits slagging form the techno nazis ******
:lol: ;)
im all for having fun, i love acid techno ffs, theres no better music for having fun times to than that, all im saying is im not into dj tools, some people are, thats great.Quote:

Me too, I can mix tools in my sleep, there`s little challenge.Quote:

Not that this really has anything to do with this post any more.
and that world would be that bit smaller if dj fodder didn't exist.Quote:

If your gonna be lazy with your production at least fill your vinyl with loads of loops rather than one that last for ages, that`s just a rip off.
That would make DJ'ing really boring as you'd have not time constraints. There'd be little challenge for the DJ or excitement for the crowd as there very little that can go wrong using groovelocks.Quote:

Crowd excitement, erm, your showing your ignorance pete. With 3 decks and a bunch of locked grooves, you can go mental.
If your only gonna play short bursts of music, do it properly and learn to DJ properly, if you need a looped tune to run for 5 mins before you can mix then you are a bad DJ and shouldn`t be playing tools.
we might as well all go and play some nicely produced trance tracks then.
to me the appeal of playing techno is all about being able to play 'dj tools' and not have to just be a juke box and play tune after tune.
any daft cunt can do that..
love dj tools me. its what you do with em that counts. personally i love boring, mundane loops :lol: repetitive doesnt really mean boring.
ps,,,wasnt a dig at you dan.
You assume too much.Quote:

if u play tunes & let them happen for thmeselves, thats fine. i prefer to make my own thing happen as opposed to jus repeating what others have already done.
u many be able to mix tools in your sleep, but can u make anything happen with them ?
an old pal of mine used to be able to pitch perfect. he was ace with house, but he couldnt mix techno loops for shit. jus no concept of cutting & tricking.
i can slice hard techno with the best in the world, but can i deal with deep minimil tracks where u have to know when to let it run ? no.
either way, this track, imo, hits the spot & is exactly what i used to look for in vinyl.
if i want musicallity, i'll go listen to John Martyn or The bEatles :lol:
yes it was, you old git :lol: you aint fooling me :cry: :lol:Quote:

You say this about every techno track thats posted up here! :evil:
[quote="A.P."]Maybe because people are getting complacent and not adding enough changes and detail to their tracks. It`s easy enough to just do a bisic sequence and say, ah, that`ll do.Quote:

if it bothers you that much then refer me to my posts where ive put that and il be happy to re-evaluate it, but ive put it for a reason, so expect only the same reply... i dont make comments for the good of my health, and if u rather id put each time that everything is perfect than that i shall do, and the producer can live in blissful ignorance ;)
err whose you lot? i just got dragged into this for no reason at all
get over it people, some liked the track, some didnt, end of really :lol: ;)
No thats not the point, there is no such thing as a perfect track, nobody on here has a perfect track. The feedback is taken into concideration, wisely, but it is the way you present it, that some people have a problem with.......obviously. :rambo:Quote:

Sorry, I did try to get people to come back on topic.
no one mentioned tracks having to be perfect, i cant produce perfect tracks myself, but there are varying levels of quality leading up to near perfection... if people cant take criticism on tracks then they really should not post them, its that simple... even if they are in their studio and honestly believe they have the best track in town it doesnt mean it is, this applies to everyone... ;)
Hey, i said earlier in the post i took your comments into concideration and have no problems with that. You say you dont produce tracks? So why dont you use this time and give it a shot?
Good lord this has veered off course... where's Magellan when you need him ?
:eh:
Let's try to stick to the topic pleeease ;)
where did i say i dont produce tracks then? read the post again smart alec, ive got several releases lined up ;)Quote:

Miss-read what u said. :oops: Not had one prob with what you have said, just did'nt agree, and that is where the problems lies i think. Lets try and get back on track though seriously as x said. But dont think there is much more to say is there...hehhhehheeh
yeah dont get me wrong ive not posted anything in an argumentitive manner, just have different views on what makes a more rounded, complete sound i think
Yep i have mentioned this a few times along the way. But am glad there seems to be some sort of agreement :lol:
........so uhm yeah, cool track
:rambo:
what, there was a track?
:clap: :clap: :clap: :lol:Quote:
