This blogging thingy is addictive, I must say. Beats creating random threads in subforums they dont belong in.

So about that
I realize this isn't the best place to post this. But who knows
Heres the thing is. I'm well versed in how to act and who to contact in the DNB scene (170bpm)
I've got plenty of channels to push my 170 stuff through, radiostations (bassdrive.com for example, the biggest online dnb radio, did label art for their label for 1,5 years), DJs, several labels, all that. But my passion towards making 170 is at an all time low right now. Got plenty of followers and all that jazz, so great stuff would catch fire, so to say D:

But
I'm now trying to branch out into a more downtempo suit, pinging between 100 and 160bpm, with various influences, from Orbital to BoC, with a clear affinity towards broken beats and attaching that to a whole new alias that only a handful of my friends know about.

In the midst of creating a 4-track EP and a 30-60minute mix to go with it
of some ambient-ish downtempo electronica
and whatnot.
Yet i have hardly any contacts in the scene, who to push my music to, who to hassle, heckle and harass.
So I'll probably end up pushing this through bandcamp, on my own and see what happens.
Planning to put together a proper live set as well, should this project catch on.

So I thought id post a sample of it here
What do you guys think
Also, what it makes you feel like. I always love to hear how people make connections regarding to different backgrounds, personas and tracks. Genuinely fascinating stuff.
:F

(thinly veiled jab at HAI GUJS WHADDYA THINK OF MAH TRACK, with a sophisticatedly yearning twist on it. yeah.)

also, i'll probably add more stuff to the OP, sleep deprivation is a bitch.

also, heres the lot of 170 ive done for those who are into more intelligent dnb, on a similarily atmospheric tip, for the most part

time to dunk that pristine blog rating looowwww

TL;DR - listen, say what it makes you feel like.

at first it's calm or peaceful, then goes into introspective or even depressive, then calms and quiets, into a more laid back go with the flow and then continues on with this theme the rest of the piece.

it reminded me alot of the good ole Rare Donkey Kong music, maybe Bramble Blast/Stickerbrush Symphony? mixed with ..... ionno much about electronica.

in terms of feedback if you wanted that, the transition at 2:50 could have come maybe 20 or 30 seconds sooner. there's not much going on between 2:10 and 2:50 anyway. either that or add something interesting during the lull. Quiet is fine, but it gets a tad monotonous there.

anywho, i really like it i'm checking out your other stuff out atm :3 why not release all this stuff under the same alias btw?

since the stuff i put out under the new alias is so different. Everyone knows me under Fuse as a dnb-head. Im not really sure theyd appreciate that. Also, I'd happily branch out and see how this other alias does, seeing that i was dumb when i chose the fuse alias years ago, and how fucken common it is T_T
and thanks! :D
a lot of people have been mentioning recently that my output reminds them of video game music :O
