2 weeks ago I founded this new side project with my man L-ion.
it’s called HOODS UP! and it’s designed to make dirty dirty house tracks that mold all sorts of genres into one…and make it go as hard as possible.
we have three tracks up and finished, and we threw together a little myspace page to show them off to the world. they’re waiting a proper release…anyways everything is done by us all the way down to the mastering of the tracks…hope you like it.
we hope to break into the scene with a few original releases, then start remixing for artists looking for their tracks to get destroyed…
this shit is dirtier than my tighty whities after ive eaten a super mighty pack.
nice work man, i like it alot. youre putting out some unique stuff. i suspect its only really a matter of time until one of these tracks really takes off :tup: good luck!
ow my ear… do you guys have a sound engineer? the songs are tight but don’t sound mixed down… what kind of headphones/monitors/speakers are you using to mix it down if so?
Thanks! We use Ableton live with a shitton of plugins! My favorite synth is Albino, easy to program…especially because I hate presets most the time.
We do the mixing ourselves on krk rokit 5s with the krk 10" sub. They’re demo copies, if these get released through someone else then they’ll likely hit a proper engineer…but most dance music producers that aren’t HUGE simply brickwall the fuck out of their final product and send it out…depends…if they’re pressing vinyl then its different though. Any suggestions? I feel “get some action” is the only one that needs work but you’d know better then I…
Listening to Wild Style right now, track is off the chain! Major props. A tiny bit of almost insignificant constructive criticism, it sounds like you have some heavy compression that I can hear really bad at 2:38 when the low bass line comes in. The volume of everything drops when it hits and then slowly comes back up, it actually bugged my ears out a little bit.
it just takes a great deal of mixdowns back and forth from your studio monitors to a car, computer etc. until you find the equal for all possible setups. you in buffalo? we should get down on some beats, and i can show you a little more of what i’m talkin about
