on 2 Sisters Fractured Dreams Cru Miel et Venin Mix by crucethus
And also a little bit out of sync

Just like the Relationship title, it should be disjointed. It is in AbMin, but there are some vox that are detuned to A. It's supposed to be very Dissonant, and very Chaotic, it's not for the faint of heart, and not a commercial mix.

You see now that's a kick drum that I can relate to and some synth grindage!
I love everything about this man but the only thing is I feel like it's not in the same key the vocals are not in the same key I don't know you've been out here longer than me I consider myself still an amateur but that's just my ears

Push-tech 51-a 32bit Leftover lasagna will give you that.

Well, it is a difficult work, you have done here. It is a different approach, and is all crafted perfectly. I really liked the outcome.
Best wishes, Anthony

Thank you, I figured most people would take their gorgeous harmonies and make something more mainstream, but I wander on the Dark side of the street sometimes.

Dang Cru, you got the deepest bass going there tied in so tight with the drums wow! that is sounding so awesome man!! Really nice mix!!
crucethus
crucethus replied 13th Dec 2024 - 11 months ago
Thanks Mate, Really found a dark place to go with it. The secret sauce is a 32bit VST I hold dearly. It's a Push-Pull EQ for bass called Push-tec 5+1a by leftover lasagna. It's the best bass EQ ever.

I agree with Richard, this is 100eel-good song mate :) great work!
And pretty amazing the Yamaha still works, but 199 back in 1997 bought you pretty much a car or a small house I think ;)

Thanks Mate! lol, it's not that bad economically, but like a $700 synth now ehh! Snd to be honest, My Korg MS2000 crapped out (power supply, and my Korg Trinty crapped to, (Power supply), but this Yamaha keeps on giving. Nowadays I have moved onto soft synths (Sigh)

Steven! Youve put all the notable funk ingredients for this solid and enjoyable work here. Drums and that thumping bass is whats up! The section starting at about 3:22 is scandalous funk. You know the head bobbing kind LOL. Really great work here. Gotta drop that FAVE! Peace.

I started feeling it around 1:24such a great, positive vibe that makes you move. And the fact that you pulled this from decades ago shows youve always had great taste in music, man

Positive vibe from a minor key song... I must be slipping lol, but yeah I agree there is a good feeling about this tune.

Steven youve got a nostalgic and not dated throwback that really sounds great. And yep I totally loved those housey piano chords @ about 1:26 with that fire string arrangement that followed. Synths are excellent! Your passion translates wonderfully! Keep on doing what you do! Peace.

Well I liked this from the first note... it hits you promisingly, then it develops. Keeping the listener hooked is one of the biggest challenges and you definitely knew and know a lot about it! Your synths sing beautifully! A great timeless track.
Cheers,

cant believe i hadn't seen this, 2 weeks wtf, you just featured, lol, there's not much to say than you have been bringing this quality of house forever, whatever style you bring you deliver, you analyse everything, everything is there for a reason, to tantalise, bring highs and lows, your a great talent and about time you spent more time with us and collab with me :))

Hey, Sorry for the disappearing act. There's lots going on with my Elderly Dad, and work is intense (in a good way). I'm getting the itch again to record. I always have loved this chord Progression and the Key of FMinor

on Love You More Breakdown Dub by crucethus
I only have one surviving track from 27 years ago. Maybe 2 if I dig deep enough in the files. Sometimes I think about posting it, but then I listen to it again, and I just can't bring myself to do it. I still love it simply because it was one of my first completed tracks, but man...it's rough.
There are a lot of elements in this track that take me back to when I first started. I do really dig the synth work at 2:05. I like the cutoff/Reso work.
Cool work, man. Thanks for sharing.

crucethus replied 17th Nov 2024 - 11 months ago
Yeah, I have aprox about 200 songs from 98-2004 when I took an 8-year break. Then from 2012 on I embraced Acid Pro and samples. I seem to be falling back into break mode again.

Yeah the DJX had a sequencer and you could record live tracks on it, then dumped it to a Sony MDMX 4 track Minidisc recorder to add more. Finally, it was remastered with modern software.

I used the Yamaha DJX and hooked up to a Atari ST back in 1998.
Made tunes that were going round the demo scene and rave scenes back then.
I loved mine back then and hearing them sounds sound cool.
I love the tune nice work.

27 years? Man u been in the game for a long time. I knew your were old but.... that's almost as old as me lol. Nice tune. I like that synth that comes in about half way through. Actually, for that matter, all the synth work sounds great. Hope you are well and good, Zoot.

idk how to even describe this except awesome, and unexpected. I cant say ive heard anything quite like it. U defineitely take great care in your crafting, im a man of similar practice. I can certainly appreciate the level of craft that went into this. I take great pride in my drums, basslines, and percussion, even though im in a diferent genre, but u definitely should, as well. Take a bow, man. bravo.

Do you remember the "Mind's Eye" series of movies? They started somewhere around '90. A bunch of CGI art films set to music. I think there were three or four of them. Anyhow, this sounds like it could have been made for one of the vignettes. it's kind of cinematic, kind of atmospheric. Not a whole lot of that signature, cleverly disguised dark underbelly in this one. You feelin' alright, man? lol
I think it's funny how many people here have commented on the percussion. It's like, "..uhhh, have you never listened to Crucethus before? There's always killer percs, man." I mean, they're not wrong, though.
Fall is my favorite season as well. At least the last half of it. After the days get short and the weather gets cold.
Anyhow brother, I dig it. It does have a good energy to it. I think fun and funky is a perfect description.
Take care, bud.

Lol, I do like my percussion, and only because that's what moves a segment or phrase along. And yes, not everyone on the loop knowswho I am, I see a lot of new faces, and that's a good thing, and that just means I have to up my game to impress this young lot coming on board. That's how it should be ehh!, I love learning from people younger than me. Don't be a boomer.! I am Gen-X Show me the new Stuf!!!!

im not even gonna mention everything good, its already been said, but them percs are sic love the guitar work too, your work is always next level Steven, always a wonderful listen , great soundscape, and the funky vibe is right in the pocket, well done mate

Thanks Mate. When I first made this, thought it was trash. Played it for my wife, she kind of liked it, the more Iistened It grew on me, so I put it on here. Whats weird sometimes is when you make something that you think is awesome and great and no one likes it, and when you make something you think is awful, people respond positively. Life is funny sometimes ehh! Art is subjective. Take Care.

great sounding layers and soundscape. i love your intro and how you handled that distortion with a well balanced filter action. transition like butter with those Kraftwerk pluck sounds. those rhythm guitar parts sound creamy dreamy, what did you use on those parts. later you dropped some stuttered delayed guitars, catchy af and decision well made, those are great inspiration. you were always good in mixing but holy cow you get better,its juicy in the eq and clear with all your layers and well compressed. love from a banana

Thank You Thank You Thank you, you have great ears for a Banana mate! I love adding diversity into music. You have described it really well. I look at Sheffield bands like Rolo Tomassi, and see how they seemingly move between Dissonant, Cookie Monster voice, and then clean vocals and a pop sound. I try to bring that genre-busting inclusion to my music. Otherwise, I get bores. Thanks so much

As a few others have already mentioned those percussions and bass line are so good lol. I love the funk aspect you got going on in this and I love the mood change from the intro to middle sections and outro!
