Description : My first attempt at something dub-techno... ish...
Had fun making this track and learnt new stuffs.

Hope you'll like it, feedback greatly appreciated.

Edit : finally took the time to remaster this one, as suggested. It sounds clearer to me now, still need feedback!

I had a brief moment of clarity once, but I didn't like it!! Love this though, even if it is a little rough around the edges! Great build and atmoshere.

Gollum's cyberpunk future brother emerging from a tangled swamp of broken cables. Nice!

I'd agree with FB though. Could use some mastering. I dumped the track into Logic, EQd (roll off everything below 50hz, big dip at 430Hz to clear up the whooshing, turning off later in the track, big up on the top end +24db HP over 10k to add a bit of sparkle), Multipressor and limiter and the track sounds a ton better (to me anyway).

Thanks for the tips, really appreciated. Like I said to FR, the system I'm using to compose is not the best so sometimes it's hard to master such tracks (that and the fact that I definitely should put more effort into mastering!).

Anyway, really liked your description with the brother of Gollum!!

I decided to stop for another one as i enjoyed the last so much.
There's good ideas going on in this tune, It reminds me a little of Leftfield in some respects. But, (I hate doing "buts" but we all need 'em sometimes) it's a bit "crowded" sounding, especially round the low frequencies. Ah! Now that windy thing has stopped i can hear whats going on. There's your culprit! If you take some of the low end out of that then problem solved really.
The rest of it is really good so a one minute tweak would make all the difference in this case.

Buts are why I put such tracks here, esp. when it's a genre I'm not used to. So thanks for the real feedback! I don't have a good system when it comes to low freq so it's always hard for me to tweak that part. I wanted to give the impression of a overwhelming sound but I guess it was too much. Well, I'll fix that asap and see how it goes, thanks again for the comments!

Liking the slow build and the way the sounds evolve. Quite a chilled vibe actually :)

oh superb, love the swirly background rhythm...i think that swirly stays a bit too loud for too long, could be good if that drops back a bit as the perc becomes more complex...otherwise, way cool...gonna have to look into this genre more....dbl

Hello dbl, thanks for the feedback, really appreciated. You're right it maybe is a bit too much for too long, will lower that earlier in the track and see how it goes.

Check the reissue of Porter Ricks' Biokinetiks for the ultimate experience in dub-techno, lol. Cheers...

Description : Miguel from Bolivia got in touch wanting to sing on my Dirge in Em track. You never know what to expect but in this case he delivered with this emotional and wonderful vocal performance. Thanks and much respect to him. LM wouldn't let me insert his U-Tube or Spotify links but I'm sure if you seek you will find.
