dancing crows was the best one, but these are still massive tunes, allow hating

yea, "a warning" is the only one on there worth playing...

It's definately not Kromestar

Surely it is silkie.

One of the synth sounds in Dark Knight's 'Dancing Crows' is exactly the same as the synth sound in Kromestar and Jay 5ive's Bass 96, not that I'm suggesting anything.

Any news on new possible releases? Or (Assuming it is him) is Kromestar doing other shit atm?

thinking wrote:loads of new bits coming from Dark Knight, but I wish he would just leave the tunes sometimes - they roll out just right and then in comes some new MIDI-brass lick or something which just over-eggs the pudding. Literally every tune I've heard has the same problem so far.

Other than that, there's some serious promise - the closest I've heard to a revival of the W London sound of broken a la Bugz.

this this this.

my main beef with the baiter side of funky is TOO MUCH MIDI HORNS.

i think they use midi horns to be controversial. reminds me a bit of some rza beat i heard when i was a young'n, pretty nice musically, but he used some bait casio presets for the drums. i think sometimes well known producers get a bit drunk on their own success and try some weird shit, just cos they can

DVRSFY · Post by **DVRSFY** » Sat Apr 24, 2010 12:44 pm

midi horns can work really well if used right>>

also im a sucker for all those dirty south TI tunes with the huge cheesy horns

capo ultra · Post by **capo ultra** » Sat Apr 24, 2010 2:41 pm

midi horns are essential for a great funky tune.

Allow the real instruments pppff

dj_donga · Post by **dj_donga** » Sat Apr 24, 2010 5:50 pm

i think synthetic sounds modelled on real instruments can be cool
in the right context they sound so brash it can give things a certain energy

hackman · Post by **hackman** » Sat Apr 24, 2010 11:58 pm

i like the sound of midi stuff, except horns, but the horns in gold bricks really work well
