[DANCE] Braindance

[J-MACHine]

And here we go. The first proper, finished track on the album (next to 2902, which was moved to this Album), and it's the titular track, too. This is one big love letter to the tracks i used to hear all the time on my dad's Godskitchen and Ministry of Sound albums (many of which i still listen to), and Dance/Techno as a whole. And i'm insanely proud of it to boot. It's easilly one of the best works i've done in a long, long time.

I wanted something that had a certain 'swing' too it, henceforth the heavy use of a lot of Delays in the beats, and the jumpy background riff that kicks of the track, and makes up one of the 3 parts of the songs main melody. Speaking of the melody, i was going for a heavilly digital sound overall, mixing in some classic strings, and "mid song" (i use the term losely) breakdown, featuring a different synth pattern, a different bass, heavier, more Big-Beat styled drums, and a filtered guitar loop.

I also want to mention, this is one of the quickest songs i've done, sort of; i started the demo, which featured just the intro/first chorus one day, they set it aside for a while, unsure of where to go with it. After recording the demos, i fired up the track again, sat down, and the rest of the song just flowed out of me; i knew exactly how i wanted it to sound, how i wanted to structure it, and how i wanted everything to be mixed. It took about an hour and a half in total. That's one of the reasons i'm so proud of it.

At this point, i can only hope you enjoy listening to it as much as i did making it!

really cool track man. Takes you on a little ride.

Hey J are you on youtube yet? Its easy to post your songs in a video. You can download Windows Movie Maker for free from microsoft.com.

[J-MACHine]

Yeah, i'm on youtube, but i don't update my youtube page often. To be honest i can't be fucked with finding images to go along with the song, or indeed dicking about in Movie Maker, when it's easier for me to upload things here, or through MediaFire. Or Last.fm.

Glad you liked the track, though!

[Koolassjoe]

This is great work! I think the effort paid off.

[J-MACHine]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[J-MACHine]

Hey, it's no problem, mate! Where else would i go for kickass sequence basslines and smooth beats without you, eh? XD

And i'm thrilling that you like the track, doubly so that it's being featured in the new mix, too!

[DJ Eddy]

Very good and it only took u 1 hour and a half to make...wow.
Some really good meldoies in this and that guitar at 4.00 was trippy but amazing.
Melody at 4.29 was great id love to make some happy hardcore out of that.
i love listening to ur stuff...
Cheers again....

[J-MACHine]

Heh, about that, yeah. I still dunno how i pulled it off.
Hahaha, glad you liked it, Eddy! And good lord, a Happy Hardcore remix of this track done by you would be fucking beautiful. XD

Crazy intro. The smooth, dreamy melody until :30 was nice. I like the transition at :59 into the main percussion. Nice synth work. Strings @ 1:56 and melody in the background go very well. Transition at 3:45 I was not expecting. Let me wondering "hmmm where we going now... " then it gets trippy... The distorted/guitar reverb sound captures a lot of imagination. The new melody at 4:30 is enjoyable. Overall has a smooth flow/beat.... The pads/strings and synths collide perfectly.

[J-MACHine]

Hahaha, thanks, Droppin'! I'm happy you liked it. And doubly happy you went into detail about the whole track! Again, thank you!
