Description : A new track with a distinct oldskool jungle flavour. Inspired by an interview by Nneka on a local German TV network.
The track was made 90% in Reason 4.0 then exported as a wav and imported into Acid where I added an additional 2 layers of FX and a heavy dose of post processing via Isotope's Ozone 4 in order to give the whole sound a wider feel.
The use of distortion although intentional, is a little overstated in parts (a lesson learned) I know and I will strive to improve the mastering levels for my next track.

If you have time take a listen and give Ecstasio some feedback.
I really like this track, just the way it is! The distortion is very tasty! The other synth sounds, while unusual, are quite pleasing to the ears! For some reason this track puts me in mind of things literally falling apart, it must be the frenetic rhythm or something. Very cool imagery! Faved and DL'd!
Thanks for taking the time to give me some feedback. I really appreciate the positive words. As for the imagery it is generating for you, I would say you are pretty much bang on the mark. The actual image used by myself for this is a young African soldier-boy (you can see it on the video via ecstasio.com). The whole idea was meant to sound traumatic and close to socio-cultural "meltdown". Again thanks ;)
Hiya dude.. kool sounding ol skool jungle track youve got here fella.... all it needs is a bit of low and high pass eq'ing in parts and your sorted :)
The only other thing i could here that i would change is to put a eq on the bass line and cut everything below about 300htz and layer it up with a sub sine wave with everything cut off above about 500htz. also running the higher bassline throught the scream unit in reason would give it some bite...
Thanks for the feedback and tips mate. I am still fiddling with the compression and eq levels and I will take a look at what you suggest. As for the basslines (actually there are 7 bass layers being used on and off here) I can say that 4 of them are already going via scream. I think it sounded cleaner when straight out of Reason but it also sound FAR to narrow so I ended up compromising. I still have a lot to learn as far as the mastering in Reason goes. Again thanks for the feedback ;)

Description : I've been away for a while, but I'm back into dabbling with music again! This was just sort of a mishmosh of sounds and samples and really was just me being bored and having some fun with ableton. I thought it would be fun to snag some samps from the community here, so there's a few vocal samps from users 2scarze & steelyvibe!
Not sure what else to add or where, and I'm still actively playing around with this so any suggestions or feed back is greatly welcomed!

Description : Rnb meets jungle I think this one. Used Jenna 01's acapella off here and built around it and used Sunil Bawa's guitar sample to build around so big ups both of them. Not a bad little jam tho, defo for the UK club vibe
This one is going to my hall of favs. Great work on this one. keep it up.
