Revised the mixdown on Emergency!

harbinger · March 21, 2018, 9:00pm

Yep, you guessed it, another updated mixdown!

They’re actually really good imo, crisp but raw… sounds like good festival music lol

Try some half-step dubbed up versions next, like real King Tubby style

harbinger · March 26, 2018, 11:55am

Cheers mate.

The only proper half-step track I’ve done was my first one, Innocents. To be honest, I’ve kinda drifted away from that influence, but I wouldn’t totally discount coming back to it.

I suppose dub isn’t half-step either so it doesn’t matter really lol just keep at it

Did this little bootleg / mashup of DJ Loser ‘Παραλογα Τειχη’ and some Gaelic Salm singing, which sounds better than you might think.

If you like the track, go buy DJ Loser’s original release on Clan Destine Records, it’s a great EP.

Got a new mix online for listening or download. 1hr 30min of 80’s & modern Disco, Italo-Disco, New Wave, Synth-Pop, House & Electro.

Got my mate Movement to do a remix of my last track. It’s a dark 2-step thing, which really takes me back to the days when 2-step was morphing into dubstep. Proper happy with what he did with it. He’s had a few releases, including on Southpoint, which some of you might of heard of. Defo check out the rest of his stuff.

My original track here as well:

It’s funny how a remix can completely change a track

Did a mix for Unmasked, who are a London based collective that run a podcast series as well as regular events in the city. Featuring almost 2 hours of both modern and original EBM, techno, industrial, electro, synthwave, acid and post-punk.

Notausgang has done a remix of my track Sweat & Thunder, on an EBM / techno vibe.

Test · October 8, 2018, 8:20am

Your stuff goes well with an industrial vibe doesn’t it!

harbinger · October 8, 2018, 1:09pm

Yeah I reckon so! I’ve been slowly moving in that direction myself too.

harbinger · February 4, 2019, 9:50am

Got a new track up on the Soundcloud, this one was heavily influenced by original 80s EBM, and also more modern techno. It’s my first track produced using only vintage hardware too.

Test · February 12, 2019, 5:56am

Fuck that sounds crackers! How did you make the bass? Sounds a bit like slap bass, stands out in the mix quite a lot

AxeD · February 12, 2019, 11:42am

Sounds like a sample to me but I could be wrong.

I’ve been making string bass sounds in Predator mostly. You don’t need Predator obviously, but I do like having 3 osc’s and plenty of modulation options for it. I think
most of mine are a combination of triangle, saw and a little sine. Then I just shape it
to taste with two filters and some type of overdrive on the high end. Also been using
my Dynacord as a tape saturation effect on these sounds.

harbinger · February 12, 2019, 8:08pm

Cheers! And good spot, it’s not a sample, it’s a slap bass from a Roland R8 drum machine, but it’s also been run through an effects unit and mixer.

Test · February 13, 2019, 1:17am

Right! It’s a bit stark so maybe you could run it through an amp and close mic it to run off some highs? Unless you like that of course!

harbinger · February 16, 2019, 2:13pm

To be honest, I’m pretty happy with it, but I appreciate the comments man!
