ICN · August 8, 2010, 9:36pm

Mussi81 · August 8, 2010, 9:41pm

Havn’t checked out Beyer in a while - Really love these tracks.

Adam Beyer - Dactyl - 2010

The way the Toms / Bass glide / Break / Double Kick all work together is class.

He’s really changed what he does again.

You can really hear the bassline at the end. Sounds like something Sylenth could make very easily. Going to try & give it a go :w00t:

Mussi81 · August 8, 2010, 9:45pm

this retains the driving sound that i love about techno

ICN · August 8, 2010, 9:53pm

Adam Beyer & Alexi Delano - Sleep Horn - 2010

So heavy.

ICN · August 8, 2010, 9:59pm

That Joel Mull track is class. The changes in it are unreal.

Sounds like a couple of tracks being mixed together at one point.

Those Guys are experts. Great producers.

[quote]adam kenny (08/08/2010)[hr]Hey, just wanted to drop by and lend my support to this Thread!

Totally agree with what’s being asked. I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with the current SA ‘tech’ tuts. It’s just that the sound of both techno and house has evolved so much, and is constantly evolving, that really you could never do too many tuts on these genres.

ICN has already posted some of my first choices! RJ is such an amazing track, the arrangement is genius. Also that Clermont Meyer track is superb, really hits a lot of different genres in one, and has a lovely housey beat to it.

The general vibe I’m getting off this thread is more of a want for modern techno than tech-house or house. So my first choice would be Peter Horroverts - Bloody Hands. 2010 I’ve been playing this track out in the club a lot lately, and I usually drop it after quite a housey set, so the sheer rawness really has an impact on the crowd, and everyone whether they admit it or not, has a love for dirty techno sounds. Again, arrangement in this track is so important. It throws out a lot of the ‘norms’, which leaves the listener with a lot of anticipation. Makes people go nuts.

[hr]

After this, I’d have to point towards one of my favorite producers of the last 5 years. Say what you will about him, in my eyes he’s one of the world’s best producers, being able to develop his own style as the sounds evolved, and really making his own trade-mark ‘funky techno’ sound. Very hard to pick one outstanding track from him, so I’ll pick one of his more recent entries. Sebastien Leger - Bubbly. 2009. Whilst in my opinion he has better tracks, I like picked this one because it combines that modern day funky percussive tech-house drive with some oldschool techno. The fills are also just outstanding pieces of production… Other tracks I’d recommend looking at are The Rhythm and Les Frelons.

[hr]

Next is someone who colabs with Sebastien a lot too, but his name has already been dropped a few times on this thread. This track in particular takes me back to some older techno vibes, but organic natural percussive rhythms. Played this at a warehouse party a few weeks back and place went off! Lovely piece of production. Cirez D - The Tumble. 2010.

[hr]

Finally I just wanted to link to someone I consider one of the finest producers at the moment. Whilst I love all the tracks I linked to above, I honestly wouldn’t play them that much! They’re little gems and bombs you drop when the place needs a kick at the end of the night! For the most part of the night, I stick to playing deep and groovy… Think Ramon Tapia, Coyu, Chris Lattner and Martinez! But these guys drop out so many good all round tunes, I find it hard to pick any one that particularly screams out to me as a quality production I’d love to analyze. But one person I do drop a lot of is Stimming, and I find his productions sheer quality. Groovy, deep, melodic, proper story-telling tunes! This one stands out for me at the moment… Stimming - After Eight. I love the bassline interacts with the perc, absolutely groovin! Simple use of samples… Simple, yet I don’t think I can ever begin to understand how he’s done this!

[hr]

That’s all for my ‘modern’ tracks I think should be good to look at! Will peek through some of my older stuff and post it up later I think.

p.s: I don’t know if those embeds will work… There’s no HTML button/option in my SA reply?[/quote]

Thanks dude, apprecciate it!

Would love to knbow why I can’t HTML my posts tho… Maybe it’s cuz I’m only a free registered user? Though it does say in my ‘permissions’ I can post HTML.

Thanks anyway,

ICN · August 9, 2010, 11:41am

You on Mac or PC Adam?

I can only hit HTML on my PC for some reason.

adam_kenny8 · August 9, 2010, 11:50am

PC & IE. Might try with Firefox later… I also have some mac’s in work with safari, might take a peek there too. Here’s what I see by the way!

[hr]

Note this is taken on a PC from work with W7. I use Vista at home and get the same idea.

Sorry, bit off topic!

ICN · August 9, 2010, 12:06pm

Yeah, I’ve got W7 on the Laptop with IE8 - Works grand for me.

I installed Firefox the other day cos I couldnt get onto Beatport with IE8. Just checked SA there & it doesnt show the HTML tab in Firefox.

Wonder if its to do with browser settings. Not an expert at all :crying:

ICN · August 9, 2010, 12:57pm

Like the Bass & “Sounds” in this one:

Par Grindvik & Staffan Linzatti - Prestige - 2010

slender · August 9, 2010, 1:04pm

Can’t remember if i posted this or someone else did

Mitaka - The Black Tunnel

[hr]

ICN · August 9, 2010, 1:36pm

Really like that slender.

The Bass coming in @ 1min is excellent.

Its all about the reverbs & lots of different sounds making up the “melody”.

Keep them coming! :hehe:

ICN · August 9, 2010, 1:52pm

@Adam

That Bloody Hands track is class altogether. Very dirty & rockin.

Love all those tracks. The Swedes really have it. That Cirez D one is brilliant too.

As for Stimming - Would definitely love to see something on how to make Abstract sounds like that.

Its Sound Design really I suppose, maybe not just confined to Synthesis - but maybe exploring some of the technique used, be it fx or resampling etc…

Yeah, he defo seems to use lot of samples, heavily processed to create a lot of his melodies. Clever.

Had to post this, one of my fav’s from 2008!

Joey Beltram - Shaking Trees
