Electro/ Breaks flavor
This is actually a complete reworking of a track I did last year, Mushroom Cloud Dispenser. This is one of those projects which over time I have put a lot of work into. As you can hear, I'm having a lot of fun with that Parametric EQ...
The graffiti art is my own, from way back in 2000
Hope you NJoy, share w/ others if you do!
AH this is the BEST song I have heard on Caustic for my tastes~!
Hell yeah Andy! The bass was mving the Air and the Keoki was bad ass!
Mike
Bass attacks in there are thick and rich. Great use of splattered FX and noises. Well executed Caustic goodness there yet again, bud...
Thanks man!
A recurring theme in most of my tracks- getting the subsynth/ PCMsynth to produce the lowest, hardest, cleanest bass possible (even distorted bass can sound clean if it's intentional). I'm addicted to that feeling of the subs in the trunk forcing the air out of my lungs. Really hope I don't ever go deaf... it's sort of amazing that my hearing is still fine!
Wow, you remember that old track from Keoki's mix album "Inevitable Alien Nation"? ("You Only Live Twice") One of my favorites since like 1998! It's probably the hardest Keoki album to find, it went out of print a looong time ago. When I lost my old CD collection, I had to special order the disc again, used- couldn't even d/l it online.

Thanks to you for the distorted pad PCMsynth preset! It's one of yours, heavily modded (sorry, I can't remember the name!)

Yeah,
I sitill listen to it. Keoki in 97-99 had some serioius sounds and Inevitable Alien Nation had some bass and definitly the sound you create these days.
Like I said, I also like Trans Atlanticmove which I bet you couldn't find these days. I would say in the late 90's anything Moonshine produced or backed sounded awsome.

Here is link for on-line listening for all that got curious about that album by Keoki.

Ok, I think I remember hearing some of that before. Good 90's goodness there. nice link, those were fun to listen to.
Yeah! Still have Transatlantic Move & Disco Deathrace, Ego Trip, DJMixed.com, etc.... all great Keoki records.
Did you ever hear the Psychotrance series on Moonshine? Psychotrance 2000 & 2001 were mixed by D:Fuse, two of my favorite all time trance records. They are also very hard to find- I lost my copies along with my whole CD collection 8 years ago & still can't find them online- only Psychotrance 2002+ which were just OK...

Good job finding that! Track #2, "For Miles" is the absolute #sickness#. Check that sh*t out if you haven't....

I Have them!!!! Plus DJ Brian, Psycho Trance 2000 was playing when my daughter was born! Wow this is getting weird.
That's a trip!... was it track 1? My favorite, besides track 8- the remix of Carl Cox's Phuture 2000. I also had Psychotrance 2002 with DJ Brian, it's a great DJmix but ten years ago my holy trinity was 2000 & 2001 by D:Fuse and Cream by Sandra Collins. And maybe Transport 5 by Quivver. Ah, the good old days. Wish I still had those albums.

I have transport (Sandra Collins) also. I was going to say, yeah DJBrian did 2002. One of my most inspirational dealing with my sound is DJ John Kelly and the Funky Desert Breaks. V 1 & 2. I was listening to that when I was driving across the country in my 320i with my soon to be wife.
We stopped at the Badlands and it was playing on my CD player in the 320. I think Trance and breaks with psychedelic undertones is my al time favorite techno style to make.
We just need to stop and say we basically listened to the exact same styles back then:) I'm am in the process of figuring out how I can remix some of your stuff. Since I don't use "DAW"s and mostly external equipment, I just need to figure out a couple things. Pius I want to see what my electric guitar would sound like on some elses techno. :)
Mike
That would be interesting to hear, a live Gibson mixed with electronic bits --- lots of crazy processing and squashing to blend it well..... do you have access to a BBE Sonic Maximiser (even an older 300 or 400 series?) that will really blend your guitar in well in the mix without it overpowering the other musical elements)?
I'm standing by your SC channel to hear some new mixes from you, sounds like fun.
One of my goals is to incorporate my guitar sound in techno, so you will hear that.
I actually have a Caustic song I'm going to put up soon, the first actually in 1 year I did in Caustic, thanks to Rej and his portrait mode in Windows, I can really dig composing because I can see more.
Edit: As far as the stomp box you mentioned, no all I have is a Boss Metal Zone and a crybaby wah. I never was into much over doing my guitar sound. My old fender reverb 85 was about my sound. It's pretty much toast these days on the reverb end. Someday I'm going to get a Twin Reverb, thats about 1800$ I don't have right now.
$1800 for a reverb unit, that's funny..... I had an old Yamaha halfrack R-100 reverb unit I picked up for $50 back in the day, and it was NICE..... it was so flexable in every type of parameter and tone creation..... L/R in L/R out MIDI control and could store something like 128 custom presets --- loved it.
Anyways, the BBE maximizer is not so much an FX module (they make products for stomps, rackmounts, telephone and 70volt intercom systems) but it is a phase-correction device that tunes itself to various instruments and devices you run thru it. I cna't remember, there are models and plugins that were made specifically for guitars, and the phase-correction (2 or more freq bands) yields a much better balance in the mix so you don't have to boost guitar channel +2dB or more to hear what you're playing, and comp/limiters are more friendly to it..... I've used it before in recordings and it sounds awesome..... might be something to peek into, if you're really wanting to do alot more guitar work in your music, I think you will really like what it can do for you..... and cost is less than 1/10 of the TwinReverb you eyeballed in your previous post. I don't use big DAW's anymore either (been there done that hahaha)
But that's just my $.02
The TwinReverb is an guitart amp, are we talking about the same thing? Fender TwinReverb.
Once I get out of my techno hippy days next year and make some money, I will be collecting various things for sure. Right now my goal is to make use with what I have. It's a challenge.
Maybe someday when I move to Oregon, I will play some live shows and my hardware stuff will look like I'm a relic playing awsome old skool trance breaks. :)
It's all good, I'm in that boat too, make use of what you have, and the tools that we have been presented here for the price of a couple cups of coffee have taken us to a massive array of possibilities that otherwise woulda cost us hundreds or even thousands of $$$ to achieve...
