@ 0:30 I think you've got something really special here. That's a great drop section and I'm 100% digging it! If my memory serves me correctly, you've always had good all around balance and dynamics in your music. For the sake of being extra critical or harsh, there are probably some parts in betwe...

https://soundcloud.com/danclapson/designer-bag-db-emin-174bpm Wanted this to be super hard hitting... grooving. Bass line is something I created inside Phase Plant. Added 4 different filters to give it distorted life. Drums are totally made from scratch. No loops. Careful panning with snares and ha...

Big thumbs up, really funky drums and vocal fits perfectly. One of my fav's from you so far.

THANKS POPEY!!!! Appreciate the support and appreciation of my latest track. Glad you like it.

https://soundcloud.com/danclapson/secrets-dance-emin-130bpm I've been reading Trevor Horn's autobiography... and it's so inspirational. He's the man behind many classic tracks in the 80 and 90's and the founder of ZTT.... the record label of 808 state, Yes, Art of Noise, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, ...

https://soundcloud.com/danclapson/reboot-electronic-cmin-130bpm I wanted to go for polished raw. With an emphasis on the drums and deep growl bass. Careful focus on stereo placement to really emphasise the drums and vox. So ... what's your thoughts? Everyone is precious and has unswerving opinions ...

It's the first major new version where the headline new features have not compelled me to upgrade. To be honest, S1 v5 is pretty rock solid and feature rich enough to not feel compelled to upgrade... yes, there are a few items on the wish-list, e.g. midi out on VSTi's can out of sync on the VST that...

https://soundcloud.com/danclapson/this-island-thing-electronica-emin-125bpm Chill out vibes. Deep and dark raw bass line... along with a dark kick. Super simple hats, ride, clap on top. Think afternoon Ibiza bar. Bass line made dark using Rift distortion, Volcano filter and UVI Delay X. This is ses...

https://soundcloud.com/danclapson/insert-floppy-tech-house-emin-129bpm This one's short and to the point... coming it at only like 1 min : 46 seconds... I will extend it, but I just wanted to get the vibe working nice and tight and then will go on and multiply. With the drums I wanted to go breakbe...

Thanks for response - I would be interested in you defining its GENRE. I have listened to a LOT of Techno - from old school to recent releases and it really is a catch all for a wide range of styles/intensity/pace etc. Many are minimal... some are hard hitting... others are more house or tech house...

It's alright, but it's a far cry from being techno. Thanks for response - I would be interested in you defining its GENRE.

Well done! I hope it finds the way in the clubs and streams.

Thanks - will update this post once I have a confirmed release date.

:clap: :clap: :clap: Fantastic arrangement. Made for clubs. It is done? I´m not sure if it fits on bigger PA´s than on my headphones. Could imagine to take the tracks seperatly and mix them new with more stereo and mo´,, wumms´´. 3:04 Moment!!! :thumbup: OK... version 3 is now posted up. I've done ...

Ha, very cool! I imagine a funky robot payload being delivered! Funky robot payload sums up what I was aiming for. I wanted the whole thing to have a jazzy swing to it, yet be electronic and modern. Another funky swing tune I created recently has just been launched on Kryptofabbrikk Records on Sept...

Version 2 - uploaded.

What works best for me so far to reduce my GAS is to go through all the plugins I already own, take a look at each one and ask myself: "How much have I used this one? Do I know what this plugin is capable of?" Many times I end up with a long list of old plugins I want to explore further. And the th...

https://soundcloud.com/danclapson/unmanned-moon-landing-techno-gmin-125bpm Think you'll like this one - this is Unmanned Moon Landing . I wanted this to have an old school chilled vibe. The kick drum is D16 Punchbox. Bass line is Diva. The lead, chords and pads are the new Elka synth from Cherry Au...

I like it. Even though it's pretty repetitive it somehow didn't feel repetitive. Lots of little small variations and nuances made it interesting to listen to all the way through. Great job! :thumbup: THANK YOU TRITONE ADDICTION - appreciate positive response! Yes - it slowly evolves to keep interes...

Too bad, I would have liked to hear again the sounds of the M1 that I kept in a closet.

It's now publicly available on my SC account. Go listen!

Didnt tried Phoscyon yet, but sounds a bit thin on the resonance and the accent. I mean,not bad at all, but its not there if you know what i mean.

Hopefully that's the point of version 2. Make it PHAT!

Sounds like someone timetravelled back to 1988 and gave some acid house person all the equipment we can use today. Great work.

Thanks! Glad you like

https://soundcloud.com/danclapson/360-techno-140bpm Here's 360 All the BASS in this track is created using Reason's Monotone Bass Synthesizer . Which was real fun to squidge and play around with. Lead arp is Diva . Kick is Punchbox ... with a kick I created from scratch. Made 2 versions of the same...

I've given up on wishing for anything in Reason updates/upgrades. They can't even deliver what they promised a year ago. Like that promise of Reason Studios saying they would be much more vocal and transparent about their activities on Reason Talk. That lasted about a month and then they got back i...

I get the impression Reason Studio really want to latch onto Ableton Live users more than any other target audience (and given the percentage of the market Ableton has, I'm not surprised) so I guess RRP was their attempt at doing that. What would be a better business strategy would be to go after A...

https://soundcloud.com/danclapson/press-red-now-techno-ab-min-131bpm An experimental idea here. This is PRESS RED NOW The bass-line is Arturia's DX7... with a preset I cooked up from INIT. The bass-line starts off totally dry and then brings in a little verb and delay. I used the DX7 because I am p...
