latest from me. can you hear the trumpets as the elephants march on to their destination.

Synths are mostly vst , lots of reason effects alongside valhalla vintage verb.

Tried to keep this one more techno without the trancey elements my songs usually have. As always comments appreciated.

Sorry to say but it is still very very trancey :-)...

But the atmosphere is very pleasant, the elephant sounds are really nice and go well with the percussion.
The mixing and Mastering seem to be very good, it is not tiring on the hear and the kick really standout the way it should (in my opinion).
Bitwig and RRP fanboy...

Yeah - SOLID low end. It's giving trance all the way. But I get confused with some of this similar genres so who knows. Sounds techno too. That beat is sick. Did you program it or is it loops? This is the kind of stuff I've been listening to at work recently. A+

Thanks Last Alternative 👍. The beat is all programmed by me as I don't tend to use loops anymore preferring to just drag lots of individual drum hits into live drum rack or Kong and jam out on my push controller.

There is also a bit of delay (echo device) and reverb (valhalla vintage verb) on a lot of the percussive elements which I automated so there are subtle changes along with automated filtering.

Glad you liked it 😊

Apologies for spamming my own song but i have been using this track to try and up my mastering game. this is my efforts and overall seems to sound a lot more glued than before.

I liked this track. A little bit repetitive and unmelodic but feels big quality. This kind of stuff I want to make but with breakbeats and wild arrangement.
