That's good stuff DD. Keep it up. Very solid. Just re-edit it to make it go for 5-6 minutes and let certain parts breath and go for longer.
I've missed a tonne of this style of chill-out. Ever since chill-out it all turned acoustic alternative. There is a saving grace with a UK indie label called i-Label who is harking back to the early halcyon days of chillout with more balearic stylings when it was at it's gorgeous as a sunset/sunrise peak.
Thanks Stompy! Good constructive criticism too, I shall take this info on-board. :)Quote:

i still think some of the best electronic music is on Aphex twins selected ambient works
Yeah dood, Aphex Twin is the f'n man! There's a small chance I could be related to him too (surname of James, dad comes from Cornwall). :p What's your favourite track off the album?Quote:

Its amazing how your brain and mood can be affected by songs that dont have a title. Its like even though they are just songs and sounds, they can make you feel a certain way or remind you of certain things. I wish more music was like that these days. I'm rambling now, but to me Selected ambient works doesnt really age. Its been around for ages but always seems to sound fresh and new.Quote:

know what i love about electronic music, you can essentially sample anything you want.
not generally my style of music, but i actually like it
has a good beat to it, just not fast enough or enough bass for my liking :P
Oooooh. On the new disco sound this time eh? I really like. Ultra funky. Handclaps galore. You probably just need a little bit more of a melodic bassline playing throughout, but that's just my opinion.
If you want some off-kilter disco inspiration, give a listen to "Circus"by Black Devil Disco Club. That has some off kilter nu-disco that you seem to have on your track.
But man great job! :)
Give Anoraak's "Above Your Head" a listen on youtube. That track reminds me of first love, his album is full of synths and often 8-16-bit videogame like melodies with a lot of soul.
Thanks for the great feedback guys. :) And yes Blackie, I too loooove being able to sample anything and everything. Can you guys guess which movie I ripped that little conversation from during the bassline? ;) I love the accents in that movie!
I'll definitely be checking out those songs at work tomorrow Stompster, Nu Disco is the shiz! :D Onra is a huge inspiration for me at the moment, I don't think 'The Longest Distance' is a fantastic album but it has so many cool ideas that have really helped me to develop my own style.
Hey guys, time to drag this thread kicking and screaming back to where it belongs (front page). :D
Anyone been listening to any cool electronic music lately? I've been messing around with Ableton again, here's my current work in progress: http://soundcloud.com/abrah-j/wangs-revenge
(and yes, I'm obsessed with the Transformery noises :o)
Had Rusko's Woo Boost on repeat for about 5 hours, its rare i find a song that ill listen to on repeat XD
Haha, wow you really do like it! It's a great song for sure. I've been getting into Liquid Stranger lately, he has so many styles and seems to excel at all of them!Quote:

How was D & F guys? Icicle was great, and I was lucky enough to have a half hour chat with the main man before his set too (I think I was the only person who recognised him, lol). A true gentleman and a scholar!
amazing
got home at 7am......
