I like it. How long have you been working on this track?
Thank you Heartbeat, you won’t believe me if i tell you it took me only 2 days to make it. I consider it like my best track ever in this style.
One thing i noticed these last years is less time i take to make a track, better it is!
I like about it that the “chaotic” rhythms are actually very rythmical. I.e. not like the absurd chaos often heard in drill styles, but rather like rhythmical breaks from a breakbeat tune used as main rhythm components. Hehe, cool, now first generation breakers took drum breaks from otherwise straight tunes, using them as rhythm. Next generation chopped them up, to make fancy drum break variations from the main break after 15 bars or so. You make music consisting of breakbeat breaks, I like that. Who knows where evolution will lead to as next step?

Thanks Oops, every breaks i used in this track is chopped up and programmed in renoise, no extra vst. I don’t know how this style will evolve (i tend to think nothing much has changed for long time ago…).
Yeah, a master of complex but still rhythmically tight on breaks you are! Not sure if enthusiasts (i.e. dumb nitpickers) of “drill&bass” would deem your stuff to belong to that style.
But other stuff sounds quite rough, basses for example. Could use some more sound design to make noisia be scared of you. This tune reminded me of ancient photek somehow. But mastering is queer, there seems to be lots of slow compression/ducking going on, putting elements in the background of atmosphere and melody stuff, robbing aggressive feeling a lot of it and putting it a bit in the mud. Eh…mastering is hard, trying to put all that shit in one wall of sound that still shows each element for itself in between, is loud enough and keeps up that driving feel throughout you need for “dance” style stuff.

You spot on! I don’t try to make overcompression, i try to keep up different stuff sounds as they are and make it sound in mid range, like in the 90’s. I love very very much stuff from Photek (Modus Operandi) or Squarepusher (Venus n°17) and i’m glad you make the link between this great artist and my stuff. I know this kind of track does’nt comply with current standards but i like it like that. I don’t pretend to make a good master, it’s pretty tricky to make a good one. Only a real technician could manage to make it right, do you want to give me a hand?
Great tune, well balanced and mixed.

I agree. Unless you add a lot of post creation stuff. Then it takes forever.
Reminds me of port rhombus and feed me weird things era squarepusher a bit.
