Yes, this is the tune!
Nice two step beat and love those dubby type delay effects every 8 bars, The bass sounds are nice, the wawb is nice and i love the pogo'd sub that goes to a wobble. Lovely jubbley. Like the atmospherics and to top it off women moaning. I'm only listening on shit headphones but the mix sounds clean, only complaint is that its pretty long and there isn't too many switch ups with the bass.
But yes, this is a sick and its nice to hear someone doing a bit of 2-step.

I like. A lot.
Bottom end is very cool. Can't decide whether or not I would prefer it with a bit more "ooomph" though- but that's neither here nor there - this track is all about the rhythm.
I find the hats are a bit jarring, though. If they had a bit more of a groove to them it would glue the track together nicely. I'm thinking (good) techno or 90's garage stuff. I wanted to be able to dance to the HH but they didn't quite hook me in.

Yeah, the hat thing's a bit odd, recorded the hat loop, stuck that through dbGlitch, into a gate (playing with the volume so that it would send out little specs of glitchiness when the threshold was reached) into a delay, used that as a sidechain on Sloper I think and then stuck a gate further down the line so that the new glitched business only plays when the original glitched loop plays.
It actually sounded really good when I started off - the delay's flicked in some odd dubbiness and then these came back on themselves and started quite a cool rhythm up, but I think it sounds a bit too busy now

Er?
a dark trancy housy techno track with vocoder Credits: written produced recorded mixed & vocals by Matt Sietz.
Feeling this. Really into the minimal sound.

wasn't feeling the beat at the start until the bass drops

fat works really nicely, liking the little dubby verb edits aswell. only thing it could maybe do with is a little changeup in the second half, tis all good though.

Nice reminds me of walking home on an ice cold day and watching drips of ice falling of scaffolding

love it mate, nice and dark, beat takes me back, could do with a little more variation to keep things interesting but in the mix it probably wouldn't matter

yeh man ill av some a dat, feeling it a lot, very tracky (in a good way). and you've got a really really tight sound, the drums are live, in contrast to the comment up-post, i'd say im really feeling the hi-hats, especially once the multiple layers come
is there any chance i could get a 320 of that remix you did of hermits please? lovin the sound on that, again, the drums are buff, and those pads with the slow attack are very very buff
