Experimental Dubstep

Posted by maxxpump - October 6th, 2016


So as the title sudgests Im playing around with a lot more Dubstep type tracks today. Fireballs made a huge remix of my Dubstep and D&B tracks, that im not 100% sure when he's goign to release it...????

I'v just finsihed looking through nearly four EDM sample packs incuding Trance, D&B and Dubstep, interesting stuff in there and may spark a load more heavier EDM tracks in the next week at least, I've got the mamoth task of uploading most of the loops to my sampler, so thats going to take up most of the day on tomorrow, but it has to be done. I just ordered a dance EFX package as well, hopeflly will be with me in the next few days. 

I've also released a load of New Wave tracks which I made this morning and no that doesn't maean more vocals, but may spark a more upto date Newage/New Wave track....I'll see what happens. I made a trance track that kind of reminds me of Darude's track called "sandstorm", which was one of my favourite tracks of trance/dance back in the 90's, I'm not sure when thats going to be released either as I've got a backlog of about twenty tracks, I want to put up and with a limit of four tracks a day its going to take a while to shift them...

I'm currently trying to get Sylenth to work as it seems very unstable on my computer for some reason and if not I have wasted quite a bit of money, as you can't return software! I would like to get it to work as Avicii uses it to great effect and the sound sets are pretty awesome! I've got a package of extra patches coming for serum as well which again will boost my collection of Trance/Dance sounds, which I've got. I also currently need a new harddisk as I'm running out of space as these sample directories take up a massive amount of space and I don't like deleting stuff!

There is also a few mashups in the works at the moment which will be released as unreleased works an hopefully go down well!

Currently trying to hunt down a 8 bit VST synth which is good, so I can start doing more Chiptunes, retro game music and stuff like that. If you have a recommendation give us a shout as I'm a bit lost to be honest.

P.S: Fireball01e said he couldn't get on newgrounds for the next few days so I released his master Dubstep mix and here it is: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/706966?updated=1475770236

I've got a new Dubstep tune which should be out tomorrow called "Failure to Communicate"  which is a hard EDM, Dubstep track, with my vocals, which came out really well...I hope it goes down well as it was a really techinal piece to get right and I think it sounds really good!  

I released another Dubstep track that peope seem to really like called "Green Energy" which is here: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/706940

Also a trance track: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/706875

and a new New Wave/ New Age track called "The Runner", which is't my best New Wave track but ti comes pretty close: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/706937

I've got also a bass heavy track to release tomorrow called "Bass Drops", did really well on YouTube and soundcloud, hopefully I get a good reaction on here as well. Its D&B but its not D&B at the same time! I call it Bassstep, which is one of my fusion genres, and it soudns amazig on my cars subwoofer system. It also verges on EDM styles, its a puely instrumental track and Davis seemed to really like the track, as well as a few othe producer friends of mine. Its A class remix material.

I hope everyones having a nice day and this message finds you well! 

P.S.S: Davis jus uploaded "Failure to Communicate" as he did do a load of work on it: here it is I hope you enjoy! http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/706969

I thought your out put of tracks today have been really good and Fireballs remix of your latest works really good! Your New Wave track is nowhere as good as "Freedom", but that would be a tough track to beat as that track sounds truly like it belongs in the 80's.

I kind of wish you would stop doing as much Dubstep as personally I find the genre a bit c**p. Thanks for sending me "Failure to Communicate" its definitely a interesting track and your vocal/talking is very good! I hope to do a remix of it, but don't see much point releasing anything until my channel is "scouted", but I know I ca't until I release something. With your permission I would like to release "Failure to Communicate" as well as the other tracks you sent me last night!

I really like fireballs mix and hopefully he can chime in later to how he did it, as even tough I said I don't like Dubstep, its a really good overall mix and definity want to hear more of these kind of extended mixes coming from your channel as I think some of them with a little bit of work could work well in a bar or club (the right one of course!)

I hope your experimental works, which you were talking about last night come to fruition as they sound pretty interesting, may make you popular if you get them right (as I know you have it in you Stuar to make some mean Trane tunes). Actually talking about Trance when are you going to release that Trance tune which you sent a couple of nights ago, that one really reminded me of the 90's and truly believe that would go own pretty well. I do like yours and fireballs recent trace ix that kind of sounds like Sandstorm by Darude, its mean and a very lively song.

Ill phone paulie in a minute and see if I can get him to pull his finer out of his butt and come online and get a conversation going, namely over how he pulled off that remix and see what he's generally upto as I see he rarely talks to you on here, which I thought was a bit shitty, but again I know how busy he is with studio stuff and his DJ ing life (I wonder how that going went down that he was talking about the other week went down as he made it out that it was a big one, even by his standards!

Yeah I had a really good morning for it. Experimental stuff might be out next week, we'll have to see how things go. Thanks as always dude.

Sorry not been online, but been really busy making my new set and playing with my rig.

I made that remix using Pro Tools and made a lot of the break sections in audacity, I used Serum and Massive for some of the break sections and as even stuart's made it put to b, its not the best of my mixes, but I will say Stuart didn't give me a lot of samples to play with, just the whole songs, and as I've said I'#ve been really busy, so threw it together in my spare time (which was a couple of hours).

Yes I ha a gig at Alexandra palace (Ally Pally) in London on saturday night and it was the biggest gig I'v done this year and there were a whole bunch of people in attendance (someoe said the turnout was over eight thousand people, I didn't get too much of sense of how many people were there, mainly as being in the DJ booth with the lights on you, you can only just about make out those standing in the front and I'll tell you there were some right characters there. Mind you i'm still waiting to be paid and last time I worked with Delta sound it took months for the cheque to come through, so i'm not overly infused by the prospect of maybe having to wait for this pay drop to come through! But I had fun and shouldn't complain.

Davis did you hear about space in Ibiza closing down? I guess you probably would of since you brothers a regular there. I was due to play at a club i Ibiza in a couple of months ago, but mysteriously I had the gig cancelled and the dates match their announcement, which I know might be coincidence, but if it were them it would have been the biggest gig of my life as they have a 20K capacity, again the deal was with Delta sound and the were going to give me a two week break over there which I was really looking forward to. Complete and utter bummer, but you know I'll get my chance again, but probably not anytime soon :(

Davis I'm over in limington next Sunday, you want to meet up? (I'll be in southampton doing a gig on saturday, so not a heavy session, but we could certainly do something. I would ask both Simon as well as Stuart, but a.) Brightons a wile away and b.) they both have work on the monday and I now Stuart will say no, don't know about Simon, but he hasn't been ale to the last couple of meets.

Oh we just received a ICON (Digidesign, prey new one as well and very good condition for its age) desk last week, still haven't unpacked and set it up yet, but it should give our mastering lab a new edge to it!

I'll be on skype tonight guys, gis us a bell if your free!

Carry on guys...we are all counting on you

Yeah wouldn't be able to make sunday, to far!

Good luck with the ICON dude, I could never get my head around that piece of hardware, way to complicated to setup for me....anyway

Yes Deltas crap I've worked with their sister company before and they are notoriously slow to cough up the cash on time.

Also heard about Space, its huge loss for every involved and within tree decades it been open for its got a hell of a reputation So suprised that it shutting down really, I guess we will never really know why it has had to shut down...but Imagine it has something to do with real estate!

I was playing and I made this tune, I'm not sure its anywhere near my best works, but its okay (ish) http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/706989?updated=1475779838

It sounds alright, very experimental....
