"Roots Of Dub Bass[represe]" - electronic du

Hi, guys, <BR>I thought to drop a note here. <BR>If you have nothing to do ;&#41;, check out one of my tracks: "Roots Of Dub Bass &#91;represe&#93;" , direct link at ampcast: <A HREF="http://www.ampcast.com/music/chart.php?id=" TARGET="_top">Play: LoFi/HiFi or Download HERE</A> <BR>this is the last track of one of latest albums <A HREF="http://www.audiogalaxy.com/bands/mikeze ... tonic1.htm" TARGET="_top">TONIC &#91;triangular trance part 1&#93;</A>, <BR>which is actually trance-album from my TRIANGULAR ELECTRO project. Two mega-tracks on this albums are "three-part" tracks, where trance groove is being seamlessly transformed into reggae-based groove with dubbin' effects. So this track is a represe of the ending tail of the second track of the album "FANTASMA". <BR>The track is VERY electro <IMG SRC="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;">, <BR> <BR>hope somebody here may dig it, <BR> <BR>best regards, <BR>'n respects, <BR> <BR>Mike Zee <BR><A HREF="http://www.audiogalaxy.com/bands/mikezee/dub_lab.htm" TARGET="_top">zee dub lab</A>

I am just listening to 'Roots of Dub Bass'. Housy Jazz Dub, isn't it? A good production doubtless, a good song structure also. The bass could be some heavier, lower. Drumwork is good, but some delays and 'stops' would add more color to the mix. The synth skank has a great clear sound but is too dominant in my opinion, it takes too much room in the mix. <BR> <BR>Hoester <BR><A HREF="http://www.hoester.com" TARGET="_top">http://www.hoester.com</A>

Hoestr, thank You much for listening and feedback, man, appreciate it. <BR>I have no probs with your critical points. Drumwork in this track I'd say pretty week from DUB-point of view, and yeah synth-skanks are WAY to loud, however it was designed to be this way for this album. Housy-Jazz??? he he <IMG SRC="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;">, I don't know about that, really. I would not put it into any category. Again, you see, this is not really a stand-alone track, in a sense. As I've said, the idea in this track &#40;the album is designed for trance/electronica listener in general, and 80% of the album is trance music&#41; was to inject dub elements into. So if you imagin the long muti-part trance-track which is morphing into this dubbin'-groove at the end &#40;part 3&#41;, step-by-step, changing trance groove into reggae-ish groove, while keeping the same bmp and most of sound-set..., well you've got the idea. <BR>BTW, I have mp3-to-stream of the whole track at my mp3.c page, here is the link, if you care to check it out: <A HREF="http://artists.mp3s.com/artist_song/2098/2098189.html" TARGET="_top">FANTASMA &#91;part 1, 2 and 3&#93;</A> , but it is for stream only there, and the track is almost 17 mins long, also part 3 has some different twists of dubbin'effects, than on the 'represe', 'cos I do it all on-the-fly while mixing, so effects/delays are always different... one of a kind ..sort of speak. <BR>Also, man, if you you listen to the whole 'FANTASMA' you may fall to sleep, <IMG SRC="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;">, it's a trance stuff, he he, well, to me the whole "cool-ness" there is when it get into dub-feel, so you have to dig both trance and dub...then you may have a chance to like it ...maybe, you know. <BR>&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42;&#42; <BR> <BR>thanks again, man, <BR> <BR>will talk to You later, <BR> <BR>best regards 'n'respects. <BR> <BR>/Mike Zee <BR><A HREF="http://www.audiogalaxy.com/bands/mikezee/dub_lab.htm" TARGET="_top">zee dub lub</A>

oh, btw, if you stream from mp3.com and you have latest winamp version &#40;get it at <A HREF="http://www.winamp.com" TARGET="_top">winamp.com</A> if you don't&#41;, then you can advance ahead, just by moving progress-bare, so you can skip parts you don't want to listen. So if you listen to FANTASMA, you jump to mark somewhere 10:00 and you get that transection and the end of the track. <BR>With fast connection, you can listen to HiFi pretty much like you play mp3 file from you hard disk. <BR> <BR>later, <BR> <BR>/m z

I did as you suggested and started Fantazma at about 9:30. I see the context now and yes - it is a dubby attempt to Trance. 'Housy Jazz Dub' just came to my mind when listening to 'Roots of Dub Bass'. Now that I am some wiser I would rather call it 'Jazzy Trance Dub'. <BR> <BR>Hoester

Hoester, thanks a bunch again for listen. Glad you did, so you've got the idea what I'm blah-blah-ing here about <IMG SRC="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;">. As you see nothing really special here. I don't really know how I've got into the vibe on this album. I was making trance/minimal electro tracks, and I guess it's just because dub feel is seating somewhere in my brain, while I'm mixing trancy track I keep hearing dubbin' groove within, which is not really there <IMG SRC="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":&#41;"> ...sort of speak., so I've made couple injections this way into the album. Not sure if it will do any good for "popularization" of dub in trance-fans-listener-community, they actually may hate it, you know..., as well, dub-heads may say: "GRRRRRRRRR, this is no-dub-crap..." , he he <BR>So, I get 'minus' both way ...., but who knows, maybe some individuals may dig this kind of stuff. <BR>I myself, as listener, am pretty "conservative"..., but nothing stops me to try to experiment. <BR> <BR>thanks again, <BR>be around, <BR> <BR>all the best to you, <BR> <BR>respects, <BR> <BR>/Mike Zee <BR><A HREF="http://www.audiogalaxy.com/bands/mikezee/dub_lab.htm" TARGET="_top">zee dub lab</A>
