Track Feedback
Yooo gang, Been super busy with other projects this year, but finally back onto focusing on music production and it feels great! Got this double single I started before my hiatus but feel like it's in a great place now and want to get it out. Wanted to see what u all think of where they are at. They're far from perfect, but I'm not chasing that. These are old tracks that took a lot of work to get up to my new standard, so I just want them at a level where I'm happy to put them out into the world. https://untitled.stream/library/project/CY9dK04wu78FsXl9ZjyOQ (You can click the dots next to the track and download the WAV files by clicking export)

@Karlo Houwen ah I see. Yeah for sure a taste thing. I love the main bass melody and think it’s super catchy, many of my non producer mates have said the same. I’ve never really been one to obsess over making my tracks “hooky” haha

@Hygro Scope thanks for the super honest and in depth feedback, really appreciated! I understand the thoughts towards the first track for sure. I think without the context of the genres that inspire it, it can be very jarring. But this was most definitely intentional (to a degree). The idea of the constant switch ups was from 8 bar style Grime (where the track switches every 8 or 16 bars), I've played with this idea a lot for years and am well aware at the faster tempos of my style it can be too much for some. It's also heavily inspired by Footwork, an incredibly erratic genre and, for the uninitiated, very hard to dance to lol. Also Baile Funk, which has the qualities from both previously mentioned genres. This isn't to say I disagree with you, this track is definitely not for everyone, but to give some context behind the intention. I also have learnt a lot from seeing this track through to end, I think there's ways I can implementing these elements from my influences while keeping it more 'danceable'. At the same time, in other tracks I can fully lean into the weirdness and experimentation and not care about the danceabilty. I guess this track sits in a weird in between, which again I think in the future could be executed better. Track 2 is the other side of my style, while still a heavy Footwork influence, the general vibe is much more that of rolling jungle or DnB. Really allowing you to sit with the ideas due to the drawn out structure (in comparison to track 1 that is)

Any more dance music classic wavetable requests?
Recently delivered Donks (Klubbheads) and Sandy Organ (Make The World Go Round). We already had the House Organ (Korg M1) and Elec Organ (CZ-1000), plus the classic Tx81z bass patches (Solid, Lately). I've always wanted to try Android by The Prodigy... What next? What else? 🤔

Camisra – “Let Me Show You” / Sandy B – “Make the World Go Round” organ sound / bass patch
Does anyone know how to recreate this sound? Is it an organ patch, or is it more like a distorted saw wave with high resonance?

My sound system 😁
Thought I’d share what else I get up to outside of music production incase there were any members interested in sound systems and live sound. Me and my mates run a sound system in London called Albion Audio, the first photo is our setup for a party last weekend. Our 4 subs, 4 kicks & 2 tops in a tiny little concrete room was mental (definitely a challenge when it came to tuning the system) We’re doing a Halloween warehouse party in Tottenham (north London) that I’m really looking forward to, I’ve added the flyer for it Our current rig: 4 x Hog Scoops (subs) 4 x ES18 BPH (kicks/mid bass) 2 x Void Stasys 3.2s (tops) Please feel free to ask any questions, hope this is of interest to some of you :)

Fastest BPM in EDM?
You all know I am am hopelessly unschooled in most of the genres we work on here so I have a question: what genre has the fastest "standard" BPM? What is the highest BPM of any actually listenable song you know of? Same questions for slowest? I know different genres are associated with specific BPMs. Is this a guideline? Or pretty strict so the DJs can keep the beat steady? What about double or half time sections? Or speeding up or slowing down, maybe leading to a drop, but getting back to the prescribed BPM before the song ends? Would it be worthwhile to compile a list of genres and BPMs? Or has that already been done a million times? Use examples plz!

@Owen Palmer me and my mates playing 2000s jump up at 200bpm when we were younger would have to agree 😂 I’ve got evidence, 200bpm turbo jump up is a thing 😭: https://youtu.be/NUTrdOblKy8?si=OnQtvD49s8MCR7T9
