Oliver Giacomotto - Highland Beats #38

[The Overfiend]

i thought this forum was only for +itive feedback and the like ?

scotty you need your own forum where you can say how much you hate all the techno tracks which are released on all the labels your not into (cant you get your own sticky?)

anyway after reading this thread i listened to the tracks again and (weirdly - wether its out of pity for oliver having his tracks classed as shite I dont know?) i kinda like the tracks more now than i did when listening the other day on juno. The A is definiteley for the crowd and the B would be a good one when the smoke machine and lasers are on about 4am - i expect i will hear these on a dancefloor near me soon!!

Maybe you said it better than I mate.
But that was the point I was going for

****ing amazing idea, whose the mod here now?

this needs sorting out ASAP

a thread where i can just rip apart everything i dont like, sounds ****ing fantastic

oh by the way who said i wasnt into Highland Beats? i said i wasnt a massive fan, big difference

and check the forum spiel, it actually says "Say what you want"

how strange!

I find Giacomotto really knows what hes doing in terms of "production", but sometimes in terms of creativity its rather "okay". I think theres a difference between knowing your equipment and all the functions on the sequencer well, and actually doing something great with it.

But having said that, i still respect the lad for churning out the tunes and making his releases heard. Music is very subjective. I personally didnt like the above track that much, but that doesnt mean some kid in Belgium isnt buying it. I've heard some great quality releases from him in the past, but theres something about the whole sound of this new Giacomotto/DJPreach style of sawtooth bassline that sometimes gives me the creeps, cause it almost sounds a bit trancey. Fair play though. Big ups to the guy.

[The Overfiend]

Agreed with that Sawtooth sound.

[dirty_bass]

Well, it is almost trance.
Tech trance.
That`s why all the chicks love them guys.

not sure on this one, it's ok, but not really feeling it much to be honest
