Dark & Desolate Competition - WINNERS!

[Manu Forti]

the first time i ran your entry i really hollered out loud "WHO WENT AND BROUGHT UNTOLD UP IN THIS BITCH WITH THE DARK ASS TECHNO?!?!?!?!" and then i pulled someone else in to the room and made them listen to it from start to finish. it also got one run in the car.

Thank you! Not made anything coherent in a long time, feels good to be close to the other talented producers on here.
Speaking of which...

i made a tune following the rules of the competition just for kicks. If you don't mind giving it a listen i'd appreciate your feedback.

This is sick Xirus, nicely done.

Nice mixdown right there..808 sub used to great effect... plenty of twists and turns..whats not to like

Thanks man. The other tracks are sick though, lots of very tight and well executed production. Personally I liked robad's track (as well as the winners ofc).

Cool track dude. I like the 808 bass part and the darker bass parts. Personally I'd have reduced the kick level a bit or scooped out the mid-bass frequencies but thats probably just my taste

Thanks for listening and the feedback! Scooped the mids on the bass or the kick? Both? Haha. I'll mess around with your suggestions.

Its a game of subtraction

Sorry I was meaning on the kick drum and not the bass or overall mix

So I've been obsessing on the mixdown for a while and it's coming on a lot, is it OK to upload the refix to here when I'm finally done? learnt even more correcting that mix
