Subfect - The Criminal [140 techno-infused beast]

Post by subfect » Thu Aug 01, 2013 9:17 am

Began writing this as a 170 minimal number, but ended up finishing it as a 140 kick-speedometer type tune. Lots of energy in the kicks and subliminal frequencies, punctuated with sharp mids and some stabbing synth lines.

As always - feedback and criticism is much appreciated! :)

The sound design and mixing on this is pretty damn good. The track is a bit same-y for my taste though. I don't mind quit a bit of that pulsing, driving kick pattern, but the tune is ~2minutes of that. I can see dropping this in a set, but arrangement wise it doesn't quite stand as a full tune for me (yet). I like the idea of it though, a tune like this could be really nice in a set to change the pace of things.

Thanks Fragments :)

The tune changes a bit in the 2nd drop which you can't listen to here, and towards the end of the track it changes again - so there is a definite progression - I just don't like showing too much on a preview, due to pirates.etc. :P

Thanks a lot for your feedback :)

sounds sick man, personally i think the kick stands out a little to much
maybe take a little shelf off the hi end as i feel after a while it gets a little annoying

Nice one. Not a big fan of the HH that come in around 28 sec, I'd prefer something different (different pattern or sound) Otherwise....weighty!

thanks guys, really appreciate it. Will do some work on the kick and see what to do about the hi-hats. They're alway a weak spot for me :P

Will send one over soon-ish. Just waiting on master to be complete and will give a few out :)

Anyone else?

Please send me a PM with your email address, as that's how i usually send out dubs (much easier to maintain, plus it allows me to manage like a "priority list" of people to send to).

Cheers!
