https://soundcloud.com/danclapson/i-hate-belleville-techno-fmin-125bpm It's believed that Detroit Techno all began with the BELLEVILLE THREE - 3 guys.... Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson. They all went to high school in Belleville, which is 30 miles from Detroit. Hence the band name. R...

I like the production and arrangement - thumbs up. Can you give me a little background into what you used to produce it... instruments, effects
.. vsts, daw, rack extentions etc.

I got back the 2600. It has midi usb with zero lag!!! Ok I never sold it... I was feeling bad because covid kicked in but then regret the choice to sell it and took the auction off... Does anyone knows if there is a Midi CC guide somewhere??? It seems to me it's unresponsive to CC'ss... Like most B...

I just had an idea.... do you have a "radio edit" version of the last part for me ? please. I had to ask the question. (what weight this Uman) :puf_bigsmile: I don't have an edits of the track - just this one. However.. I can see why you like the last section the most, as it includes an extra mid b...

haha danc. i like this song. very well done. vocals are just amazing. interesting tech-house song you got. cool. i like it. Thank you Mr (or Mrs??!) Rising Night Wave - I appreciate the positive reaction! It makes me laugh... you say the "vocals are just amazing" . Well - Uman hated them!!!! Arrrrr...

Hi, I like the idea and the style, but I find the on/off structure too binary, but above all an abuse of the voice sample that fills in the melodic voids. For me, the most successful part is the last one, I like it a lot ! Really nice. Thanks UMAN - your reviews are funny! I have to read your words...

With 18-GHOSTS I wanted to get a groove going with strange ghost like sounds, bumps and crackles. And... I wanted it to progress with lots of interesting different sections.
Plus for it to be distinct.

https://soundcloud.com/danclapson/who-cares-techno-fmin-125bpm Spent a bit of time watching Boiler Room Palestine... learning what's new in the mainroom techno arena ... and it is super super super tight and distinct. Then.... I decided to make my own variant ... here's "WHO CARES". I wanted to giv...

That's pretty amazing! (I wish I could program percussion like that) Great work!! Glad you appreciate the percussion. The advantage of creating your own rhythms is that you can build it around the melody... helping to emphasise it. Whereas... dropping loops in is totally hit and miss.. and they are...

Yea, not much to add. This sounds really good!

I guess I'll do a few more d and b tracks. Seems to be popular around these parts!

This is a really cool track DanC and i tend to agree with Sub Focus when it comes to the direction DNB has been taken. The only feedback i would say is in my opinion you could do with bringing up a bit of the lower frequencies as it is missing a little bit of bass for the genre. Thanks popey! Will ...

I like it, nice work

THANKS = appreciate your thumbs up!

I like and enjoy it. Nice track. Only thing I miss a bit is a reverb or delay on/after the trumpet. For me it has an abrupt end and is not connected to the track like the other elements. Overal: :clap: Ok - I've brought the trumpet trills much further back in the mix and added verb and delay as sug...

Thanks for positive feedback - totally agree - will fix and this and re-post update.

https://soundcloud.com/danclapson/stingray-disco-sucks I haven't made a D&B track for ages. Instead I've been focused on slower Techno and House tracks. Anyway... after reading a Sub Focus interview about his production process, he was commenting (moaning) on the sad state of affairs that the D&B m...

Decided to make the track private and improve it ... then repost here on RT

https://soundcloud.com/danclapson/urajunglist-mainroom-techno-gmin-123bpm Here's U.R.A.JUNGLIST . Wanted to create a dance floor number with real cool swing and groove. With raw urban roots, a bit of Eastern percussion and an Japanese style melodic scales/modes, and super tight bass. It's like a wo...

They could just name it "Roadmap" :lol: or RoadNap. I feel like it's a bit of a RoadNap across the industry... for example... the amount of new plugins (FX and synths) has fallen into an all time low. Maybe that's a good thing.. .we can now just get on with making music and not be distracted with s...

And... another track LADY TAME I created in last few days - based all around a step-sequenced bass line and mid-range ... this time it's got a DUB ambient techno feel. Again- this one has quite a varied arrangement. - keeping one's interest. https://soundcloud.com/danclapson/lady-tame-dub-techno-fmi...

Following the theme of making step sequenced bass-lines and mid-range... I created another track LEFT RIGHT LEFT . Although it's still pretty chilled... the drums and bass are more driven around a groove. Created some authentic sounding hand-drum layers. Plus it goes on more of an interesting/varied...

Cool track Danc. That mid bass is fantastic

Thanks Popey! Appreciate the THUMBS UP!

The mastering is good, mixing well too. Thanks for positive review! ... but I have yet to get in the world of step sequencers in my musical journey. I dip in and out of step sequencing. It often leads to many happy accidents - especially if you play with varying polymeters and on each step experime...

https://soundcloud.com/danclapson/ransom-techno-emin-125bpm Here's RANSOM ... I started off making this track with a really deep sequenced bass line created in Diva and controlled by StepicVST sequencer. This runs in a 6 beat polymeter loop, so that in comes in and out of time with everything else....

https://soundcloud.com/danclapson/nearly-clockwork-deep-tech-f-125bpm Taking my music into minimal and deep tech territory... the arp is Serum with an ever evolving sound I made. There is a subtle arp going on underneath which is actually the arp Serum reversed and run through Supermassive verb/del...

The primary focus instruments here is my Behringer RD-9 and an ASM Hydrasynth. Wanted to get this kind of warehouse techno rumble going. Only session 1 so far on this.

Thoughts?
