Thank you all for kind words!

monquixote · 2023-09-30T11:56:04.110Z

That’s one of the best things I’ve heard from you.

natehorn · 2023-09-30T12:00:28.559Z

First thing I’ve made in a while tbh it was fun dusting off the cobwebs! These stems are really easy to work with…

proskynesis · 2023-09-30T21:35:45.712Z

Thank you so much!

proskynesis · 2023-09-30T21:43:03.414Z

This is wild!! And I agree. Forgot to say thanks for the stemroll by the way. So much useful stuff in this one which isnt that obvious before you dig into it.

monquixote · 2023-09-30T21:55:10.097Z

As it was a two step beat I tried to do something inspired by Bicep.

All the synths are Hive which I got in the recent NI crazy sale thing.

natehorn · 2023-09-30T22:11:24.191Z

Bicep are one of my favourite artists - I definitely hear the influence!

jawside · 2023-09-30T23:49:45.373Z

Great refix! Will definitely be having a bash at this

aarb420 · 2023-10-01T10:31:21.649Z

@natehorn THE RETURN OF THE MAC! That offbeat structure on this track is lovely man keeps the beat fresh and loved that bass exit!

@monquixote man the way you make that 80s sound modern is awesome, and such an awesome mix this is like a TV-ready track

@jawside hop in, the more the merrier!

looms · 2023-10-01T19:03:59.907Z

Big tunes @natehorn (sounds like a sweet set opener) and @monquixote (sounds like a peak banger). I wanted to do something this weekend but haven’t managed it. Gonna try and do something over the next few

aarb420 · 2023-10-02T06:29:58.278Z

Thanks for all the positive charge @everyone with the massive beats Not long ago, there was talk about Canibus over on the hip hop thread and this used to be an overplayed freestyle back in the younger days so decided to remix that. The main sample is the sample track provided by @natehorn, the drums I added extra, and on the bass features @Doug with the sample pack he released here recently, and I recommend checking it out it’s Support your local elektronauts fellas, and fellalinas (when you can)

monquixote · 2023-10-02T07:08:11.125Z

Love this total

aarb420 · 2023-10-02T07:22:39.560Z

@monquixote thank you man!

proskynesis · 2023-10-02T11:48:30.075Z

A bit late and not really finished.

natehorn · 2023-10-02T12:13:10.908Z

You’ve actually got until tomorrow this time because I was late, but I’m glad it put some fire under you for a second shot

looms · 2023-10-02T18:34:56.873Z

Jeez, everyone has brought absolute heat this sesh. Favourite stuff I’ve heard from all of you I think! @aarb420 you nailed that, it’s swanging! And @proskynesis, that’s another wicked one, great building hypnotic driving vibes… Don’t think it’s gonna happen for me this time which given the crazy intimidating standards here is prob no bad thing

natehorn · 2023-10-02T21:48:00.574Z

which given the crazy intimidating standards here is prob no bad thing

You needn’t be intimidated your stuff is always a highlight!

Me and aarb have been discussing perhaps putting an EP together with a bunch of the stuff we’ve collectively put together over the past year. A little compilation that I think we could approach a few labels with, would be amazing to get it pressed to vinyl.

Will reach out to you all in a DM about it soon but hope you’re all up for it, the masses deserve to hear these wonders

NVVI · 2023-10-03T15:04:29.727Z

made this without the stems lol, still might try something else using the stems we’ll see.
either recreating this to clean it the fuck up or something completely different.
made on DT, i think it was 5 tracks of swing my way samples, mostly slowed. found a couple pad sounds from the blofeld that were already recorded in the project that worked tonally, then added some pitch shifted scatting and some EWI flute.
Im looking forward to hearing what you all did, but gonna go thru the stems first

malus_mons · 2023-10-04T00:12:01.424Z

Ran this one through Drambo on my phone. Never had heard this track before, hope yall like it

aarb420 · 2023-10-04T00:32:44.116Z

@proskynesis 2/2 man you really found a tasty formula and looking forward to future recipes

@NVVI Are those “budum buh buh” notes being done on the EWI Flute? That expression sounds so fresh, and seems really natural coming out of that device. Also, can’t remember if you’ve already been around these parts before, and if not, welcome, but if so, welcome back

@malus_mons Sweet concept/execution on the tempo and beat switch ups Those pans are incredibly fun to listen to man
