^ Nice track! Deep and melodic :). What would you classify that as? Prog house? I give it a 6/10.

I would definitely class it as 'Deep techno' (one of my favourite subgenres!!!). I like a lot of prog house too, but prog house tends to have a more druggy, hypnotic groove. Deep techno is also generally more percussive than prog house - the cymbals in that Vince Watson track are often found in techno tracks (but not in house tracks). The huge reverb on the handclap sound is also far more typical of techno than of house imo.

For some reason that track reminded me of this one, although they are completely different. I'm not much of a sasha fan, but enjoyed this track and I was sad when my copy of this vinyl got scratched (back when i first started collecting records, i was into this kind of stuff)

(i'm not expecting this to get a high rating, just threw it out there)

Well it's certainly gonna get a high rating from me!!! I actually bought this on CD when it was released (and still have it in my rack now!). I think it was actually the first track that Darren Emerson released after he left Underworld (infact, it's arguably the only good track he's made since he left Underworld :) ).

- I just don't see how it's possible to not like this track - it's got such a happy, summery, feel-good vibe to it. I can imagine it being played at a beach party in Ibiza. I can see how the Vince Watson track reminded you of Scorchio - they're both deep and melodic, and seeing as 'deep' and 'melodic' are 2 of my most favouritist things in the world, 'Scorchio' gets a 9/10 from me :)


Here's something else that's deep and melodic:

The only thing I liked about that was the arpeggiated synths. The other elements sounded almost out of tune with themselves. For example, the intro bassline didn't sound like it sit well with the synth lead. I also wasn't crazy about the synth lead itself. The melody was tolerable but the chosen patch did not please my ears. 3/10

Wow, what genre would you call that? - hiphop? electro? industrial? It was a pretty fucked up, aggressive piece of music, which clearly sampled heavily from some war film (although don't ask me what the film is, as I'm not a film buff at all). I could actually imagine Diplo dropping this in one of his sets - it's not too dissimilar to some of the hiphop he plays. It's certainly an interesting track, and I did like it, although I'm glad it was only 4 minutes long, as I'm not sure I could take much more of those screams!!! 6/10.

I just looked up Liam Howlett's Breezeblock mix, but couldn't find that DMX Krew track in it. Are you sure you're not thinking of something else?

Your track was absolutely fuckin' sick anyway!!! - a really original take on drum n bass. The rhythms were phenomenal, and the rap was cool as fuck - I'm not normally a fan of raps in dnb, but this one was understated - reminded me of the rappers in Massive Attack (3D and Daddy G). The track made me imagine being in some dingy basement club in London, with the smell of weed in the air :) 8/10.

oh man this grabbed me from the start. i love old skool tracks like this. this is exactly the kind of sound that zomby has been recreating like on the where u were in 92' album he made which i love btw. i gotta track this mp3 down or rip it from youtube. i just picture a dark smoke filled warehouse party goin off to this tune. has all the elements i love about old skool, classic break, simple bass, and female vocal samples. 8.5/10

not really my thing but very well done, the vocal goes really well with the drums, think I would appreciate the bass more if I had my speakers in! dark and edgy 7/10

:) uber happy synth zone :)

But I've heard it so much that it sounds like a five to me right now...

Technasia - Cyclone

7/10

Brings me back to when I started partying in 2000. Funky build up, techy sounds are dope nice drop and then it gets brought back up again. not my favorite but definitely good track.

I was apprehensive to post this one, didnt want to look like another EMD poster and post somewhat of a generic club banger... but for about 1 minute this gets my head bobbing, maybe it will for you too.
