Hi all, this one started out as a bit of noodling inspired by some incidental music I heard on TV. Somehow it ended up growing into one of the darkest and hardest tunes I have ever written.



Made 100% in Reason 10 primarily using Antidote, Polysix and Redrum. Would love to know what you think.

Damn dude, really cool. The melody has a very 'end of the world everything is hopeless' type feel, really dark and grooving too. The dubsteppy type feel in other parts of the track is really cool, I didn't know you rolled like that, kick ass man.

Thank you. I like to keep an element of versatility with my stuff.

I just took a look at you Soundcloud and I see what you mean, you do great in loads of genres I love your retrowave and the rest is really cool too, you're doing really well man!! You do seem to like your kicks big, you have such a great stuff going on in your tracks I find it a tiny bit dominating, but by all means keep doing your thing!

WOW that catches you attention right from the off, very clean tune im a oldschool Electro fan from the 80s so Im sure the new Electro is more like this , sounds dubstep synth vibes going on now and again also , I really enjoyed this , mad props!!

This track goes hard indeed and you have a great blend of different synth sounds.

'Slamming' is the appropriate word here. Lol the switch up half way made me actually switch tabs so as to check whether it was still the same track I was listening to. Great stuff. What synths are you using here?
