--> I finished up this pack of tracks a little while back, and here it is for you! CRITIZM IS WELCOME. PLEASE! no one tells me what is wrong with my music. RIP ME TO SHREDZ.

anyways, I started out trying to do just tracks based off of burt bacharach songs, but they all just turned into serious techno bangers, so I started sampling from my old d+b records. The main line from this one is from edrush+optical sicknote which is one of my favorite jams from back in teh techsteppers days.

ok, also, grab the whole pack of songs, with the dope ass cover art at the following url: link

AND AS A FINAL NOTE: all the arrangements and whatever were done with LGPT which is the spiritual successor to LSDJ, which is about the bombasseses tracker ever build. grab it here (for free, ya mooches): link

OK PEACE IN THE EAST!

oh also, p.s. daswessen, I totally jacked that hi-hat trick from you. thanks mang!

technically, your tracks are quite good...the only real criticism for me would be that your music doesn't resonate emotionally with me...but that's a personal thing...when you compose, do you have a set ideas you explore through your music...?

cool sounds.
i like how your music sounds "cheeky"
theres always a lot happening in your tracks which i like.

criticism: maybe thin out your arrangements. remove anything that isnt absolutely necessary.

thanks dudes!

yah, after I got that comment from you appollo, I realized that I don't really have any ideas that I am exploring. I guess I am trying to make some sick dance music, but I am also not trying to be all up in the club, or whatever. I don't know. Really I am just trying to get together with girls. But I don't really know how to do the whole booking shows thing, and it seems like playing out is an important part of that, so whatever. But on a more serious note, I used to have a vision in my head, like a literal picture, an image that I was trying to create when I made the music, but I don't see that anymore. I will give that a shot and see how that goes. I started trying to do a real heart on my sleeve song the other day, but I didn't finish it. After your comment, maybe I will.

Thanks monty! I will try thinning out the arrangements. Most of these tracks were done only with 4/5 note polyphony already so I don't know how much more I can strip it down. I suppose that they are still pretty rhythmically dense.

yah, got pic from the 4chan mecha forum. wooo! squishy!

I'd like to hear the bass kick really punch through with quick attacking and decaying mids and highs. And once in a while, I'd like the snair to really pop too (but not on every hit).
