Messing around with different techno styles

Really diggin' my Theo Parrish and Shed these days. I've never really made 4/4 stuff before so excuse me while I find my groove. All the distortion and shit is on purpose but I think I may have overdone it.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

This is awesome mate. Drop10 and 20 are my favs, both really good. Drop10 has a cool blend of rave, dub, techno and the lot - very nice. I don't think you overdid the distortion, at least not for digital distribution.

Cheers man! More to come :)

Drop10 is awesome. I like the future garage'ish vibes.

It's a bit loud though.

Drop20 is really solid. Great sounds.

If I was you I would probably work on the buildup, because it's a bit weird, but I guess you did this live or something. You should also consider add a low pass filter on those noisy snares that slides up and down the frequencies. Also, it needs a deeo bassline :)

But all in all, quite solid :)

Cheers man. It was a just alive jam.

I will most definitely be trying to get a nice deep bassline on it. I was listening to it today and thats exactly what it needs.

Just add a simple but deep bass note that leads up to the third kick. That's pure dub techno right there :)

do it!

Missed these the first time around but I really dig this stuff @chassis! Nicely done.

drop40 is super groovy. if you hadn't said you were new at the time when you made it, i wouldn't have thought so.

20

Found 40 too repetitive, long for my taste, 20 reminds me of homework daft punk, but filtered, distorted & dubby, liking it :) . 10 starts of promising with the rave vibes, but a little harsh in the mid to high freq department imo, couldn't keep my attention.

love the vibe of drop20. Some of the drum hits introduced later on don't quite have the same "dusty"/"distorted" feel with the elements early on, but regardless, 20's my fav out of the bunch!

edit: I had no idea these were a year old, will give the new one a listen as well.

Maybe closer to house

Something more melodic

That melody is pretty odd, rhythmically speaking. Interesting track.

Other stuff in this thread is v. lush also.

Drop 40 is a tune.

Interesting, I didnt think I was doing that. Care to elaborate?

I did try to keep a segregation of melody and rhythm on purpose but not to the extent where it was odd.

I enjoyed making it. It was very theo parrish inspired if you couldnt tell.

Oh ye, I forgot to reply to lots of nice comments here. Thanks peeps.

Also, SE is a sample track of the MGS theme Snake Eater.

Just had a listen to all of these. Subscribed. I can see that you are a master of reverb from your non 4x4 output and it makes for lovely listening soaked and saturated dusty. drop 40 was a bit too harsh for my ears but enjoyed all the rest. untitled was a lovely way to finish off.

Nice stuff, especially first three Drop tracks.
