it's way to fast for me to comment on mate. really i can't think of a style that this would be. perhaps trancecore but then again, it's not really that cause it's too 'empty' at the mo. technically the drums need alot more punch - just look around for some better drum sounds and use a few loops.

all the ideas sound cool to me, but the key with music is definitely about the 'production' and you're going to have to concvntrate hard on that.

please keep posting your stuff and i'll help as much as i can...

[wallitzio]

yeah the production side of things has always let me down, its a stuggle to find the time to really get into it, at the moment i'm just trying to get some good sounds and structures to songs, then i can go back and beef up what i've got ;o)
cheers 4 having a listen though!!!

[MARKEG]

Find the time mate... you won't regret it...

[wallitzio]

yeah i should really, its something i love doing, i keep meaning to get my missus to help me, she's played in academy a few times under the name Little Jo Mason so she knows a good tune and trick or two!
could be quite a good double act if we get our act together and start producing some stuff.
anyways cheers for the advice mark, i remember seeing you in the counrty club b4 it got closed down, i thought your set was quality, it really got me jumpin ;o)

Hello... your track is not bad, I would concentrate on slowing it down a bit and putting a bit more drums & percussion in to it... most hard trance these days is half about having a good beat/bass line as well as a melody.

If your planning on keeping it fast and sort of freeform/trancecore stuff then fair play... it's sort of leaning to that area.

[wallitzio]

hello mr hakka, cheers for you response, dunno if you remember me but my names owen and my fiancee is little jo mason from academy allstars, good to have a fellow stage stomper into his music!
have you produced much stuff? i'd like to have a listen if i could!
i listened to your mix the other day as well, the uberdruck one, i've been after that drugface song for aaages now, cheers for including it!!!
anyways, hope you are well and the djing is going well?!?
cya soon!!!

Hi Owen! It's been a while since I've seen you in Jo in DA. How have you been? I have been good thanks... looking forward to 2003... this year seems to be a more professional one! I will be soon putting up my production efforts which of course I'd favour some feedback from yourself on where possible! :P I'm burning off CD versions of my online mixes so if you want any just let me know and I will pass them on to you!

How's Jo by the way?

Good to hear from you and see you on here mate!

i'm just finishing off my last year at uni at the moment so funds have not stretched to going out :o(

jo has changed jobs six times in the last five months, she's had a bit of a rough time of it lately, but we'll both be trying to make it into academy for the next allstars night or when eddie halliwell or yoji biomehanika are down!

i'd definately like to hear some of your stuff at some point, my email addy is wallitzio@yahoo.com and my website is www.savethesoul.com
cheers
