Dirty Bass - Dark City

**TOM GALLOP[** · 10-05-2005, 11:44 AM

Nice 1. Enjoying it mate. Like the keys in 2nd half particularly. Maybe I would use less vocal in some sects but is being picky really. Good stuff..
May ask your opinion on some of my new shit soon if thats ok.

**dirty_bass** · 10-05-2005, 06:00 PM

that`s cool mate.
I`m bluntly honest, but I won`t give you no bullshit.

**conflict** · 10-05-2005, 07:24 PM

the productions good but i just dont think the vocals fit with the track,they're just too contrasting.

**dirty_bass** · 10-05-2005, 07:40 PM

yeah, they have been reduced considerably since this version

That wierd shit with the vocals kind of reminds me of a bad trip! (in a good way...) Not soo much my kind of techno, but I couldn't fault it - but then I think much of your work's past faulting! It is nice and catchy and could bring a bit if a cheeky eliment to a tchno set, or a touch of darkness into a housey set...

...it's growing on me as I write this!

Cheers mate, yeah, it`s not full on underground techno, I`ll admit that.
It`s one to get the ladies dancing, and I prefer to have ladies dancing to my music anyway. Plus I like a bit of commercial mixed with my underground too.

As for my work being past faulting.
No way.
I still hate everything I make, and still think everything needs improvement.
I don`t think I`ll ever be happy.

In a way that's quite encouraging - in the sense that the author of stuff that is of the quaility of some what you produce is still self-critical - Kind of a lesson against self criticism becoming defeating.

Some of your tunes I heard on here are among those I download of this board that encourage me to sharpen my production skills, put it that way!

The vocals are from inner city life - goldie, yeah?
But anyway, the track is cool, like the percussion and filtered stabs. Dont really like the vocal. But for me a version without the vocal would be perfect. Nice work ;)

**BRADLEE** · 04-06-2005, 02:21 AM

Who's goldie :lol:

Just kidding

**TOM GALLOP[** · 04-06-2005, 02:14 PM

Listening again..still sounds cool. Thanks for your comments you passed to Anna on my stuff by the way. Will bear them in mind when we remix.

All the best m8. :)

**AcidTrash** · 24-06-2005, 03:56 PM

Hate the vocals but really like the tune. Production is awesome.

**Mindful** · 24-06-2005, 06:14 PM

thats a wicked track
I like the vocal :wicked:

**dan the acid man** · 30-06-2005, 12:54 AM

oooh, i like this, i could see this working on the dancefloors, especially as you say with the ladies.

when the stabs kick in its great, it carries on that old school feel but its subtle at the same time.
All the edits add something, they're not just there for the sake of it.

This would work in any set if you ask me, it just add a bit of fun and light edged funk but its still got a dark feel about it too

**The Overfiend** · 30-06-2005, 11:54 PM

Emotional Tough and mood driven
Great to be the first Steve track I've heard in a while.
I will return soon!
