aladdin style.
first serious dnb track, whats everyone think?

edit: it was going to be a dubstep track originally but the wobble just didnt like being at 140bpm. still got some dubstep influences though, hence why i thought id upload it here.

bump already? surely not.

come on, speak your minds.

[esoundc]

will give that listen

[POND LIFE]

anyone?

I gave it a listen last night, just forgot to give you the feedback.
But here we go:

Right well if i must be completly honest this doesn't sound like how DnB should be at all. However the eastern samples you have used would work really well in a proper dubstep tune. I know you said that you've tried it and it doesn't sound right slowed down but maybe just change some samples around, add in some new ones etc. Definatly try turning this into a piece of dubstep though, has potential!

[POND LIFE]

do you like it for what it is though?
edit: like, i mean its a dnb tune by technicality, but i like to mix up styles to avoid sounding cookie cutter.

I like it (via cheap headphones). I'll try it mixed in and see how it works. Maybe it's a bit too clean sounding, but I haven't heard it LOUD yet. Keep on dubbing! I certainly like your open approach to music. I can't seem to produce anything orthodox either. Listen to "No more words I'm drowning" at http://www.myspace.com/jockolatex ... that's one of my attempts at dubstep. Hasta luego, amigo.

Ah yes i can totally see where you're coming from here, and it's a very good thing indeed.

You asked me if i liked the tune for what it is, and how it is sounding at the moment i'd say not really, but that's because i think it sounds a bit out of tune for DnB. But i do like the structure of this and your ideas. Keep working though

The best drum n bass i've ever heard has some kind of serious emotional message to it. I get no emotion from your tune. It sounds like you are just messing with the formula and experimenting with the arrangement of noises that have little or no real meaning or emotional attachement to you, keep practicing. I suspect you have not revealed your true skills.

If you want to make the kind of drum n bass that has everyones hands in the air, the music has got to have some kind of soul. Remember, music is one of the most pure forms of human expression. It speaks to soul of almost everything it means to be human, to make and listen to music. Its one of the last bastions of human expression. SO, make music that means something to you. Write about a thing that makes you tick or make music about the thing that pisses you off the most. THAT is a tune I want to hear.

spank rock - bump

[darkmatteruk]

lock yourself in a room with supplies for a month, and listen to this on repeat for that month

[POND LIFE]

what does that mean?

[sythec]

I dunno, maybe try it?

[kaskaad]

too much primitive...that's what i call "OLDSKOOL"

is this voice sample was used by Dj Fresh in Temple Of Doom ?

A mate of mine had to play a drum n bass set and chose to just play speeded up dubstep and it sounded phat. I like it, it's a likkle dull but throw in a fill here and a drop there and your'e on your way. The bass feel like it'd hurt my face if it was loud enough
