When The Time Comes...

I'm feeling generous today, so here's a clip of the track I did last week, entitled: "When The Time Comes..." 

For the studio g33ks reading: The idea was to make something VERY simple, with only a few core sounds, and generate the highs & lows with subtle automation on the fx sends on the main synth sound, keeping that mainly very 'wet', while the drums are contrastingly clean and tight. In the build ups I really ramp up the fx sends but then totally zero out all the busses at the end to make the sound kinda implode before the drums come back in and everyting drops. Even though the core of them are 808/909 drums there's loads of behind the scenes stuff to beef them up in the mix - generally straight up non-distorted 808 drums don't sound phat enough in a DnB scenario, as much as I love them, so there's other sounds layered up to make it work. Had some fun little FX I made with an FM synth for the stereo perc too. Anywayyyyy.

I opened both sets with it this weekend, in Manchester and Linz and it went OFF! Let me know what you think in the comments section...

Mr.B,
this track is truly "pizdiets"!
this powerful and deep Pryda sound is so cool!
actually the word "pizdiets" means any of very strong emotions.
for example if you win 10000000000$ in a lottery your very first word will be "pizdiets"

I dig this snippet!
It is deceptively "simple" sounding but has dimension and impact too!
(That's g33k for "it has a good beat & I can dance to it!")
Good stuff, John B!

"winking and blinking" theme is really cool. BTW, "pizdets" meaning varies greatly, just like with any other slang word. Depending on the context it may be "totally fucked up!", "fucking frustrating" (remember your trip to Kaliningrad over the Polish border? that was pizdets, no doubt) and finally, it can be "Fucking A, man!", the one you've encountered most.
