UPDATE: Hijack's Theme - new hijack samples added!

[Balls Deep]

So, it's been a busy Sunday. And, with a draw of breathe, my tune for Hijack is done.

It's called We're Alright..., and, I hope, encompasses what I feel the board is about. There's a real lively element to it, capturing the jazzier, smoother element that is so loved alongside some twisted undertones for the gurners out there!

And I also think it has a nice summer feel to it, the jazzy b-line and rolling drums taking u along nicely.

Done in a day, am really pleased with it and it's just a dedication to the board - we're alright, and things are looking up.

Shit am I caned. Forgot to add that I haven't chosen to use any sent in samples, not that any were in such a short space of time, but would be interested in using ure sounds for future projects. And am still looking for a "Hijack" sample...

[Balls Deep]

Also, for those interested, here is the reason file:

Will be posting the tune onto Dogs on Acid which should hopefully give the site some good coverage.

Nice.

This tune is wicked mate, it starts wiv some real nice synths with a nice reverb on it, thisis shortly followed with a miniature build up which falls into the beat. Later on, a niiiiiiiiiice second beat drops, which keeps the tune individual, rather than  a clone of everything else that is out there. Then Powder Monkey has stumbled across a wicked sample, of a bloke shouting 'Its alrrrrrright'. Killer. The bass guitar, together with the beats make for a wicked tune mate. Well done.

Nice tune mate! We're touched. did you not get the sample i sent you? .rm file via e-mail Anyway, cheers for the plug on reason, only prob is the web address is wrong! hijackbristol.co.uk not hijack-bristol.co.uk safe man. thanks again!



could you send us an mp3 sample so we can upload it to the main site?

[Balls Deep]

Thanks man - i'll send u the mp3.

Am gl;ad u like it. Hope u feel like i do that it catches both the light and the dark, and it will hopefully reflect the summer to come...

I did get ure sample but finished it before hand. I will try and fit in the "hijack" vocal, which shouldnt be a problem, tonight.

And really happy that you want it on the site.

Nice one Powdermonkey! Like the tune, nice and funky. Just getting into producing myself, whats your setup?

[Balls Deep]

Tnx for the comments.

A new version of the tune will be sent to catalyst today and put up on HUbba - contains some Hijack samples, which i hope will sound wkd...

Shamelessly bumpin this one again cos, well, think it deserves it and some peeps out there may not have heard it.

Just listening to it now and it still rocks me boat!

Any news on an upload, Cat?

[Lata]

Yeah PM, the hijack tune is cute, I like how the synth persists, it's bouncy!  Certainly captures the nice friendly atmosphere of Hijack.

Keep 'em coming mate, do you use Logic and Reason?

Peace, L

[Balls Deep]

Cheers lata - yeah, i think it works well - good and summery but still hard enough for those that need it!

Using just reason at the mo and nothing else, so shows what can be done. Am working on a new tune at the mo, can assure it's sounding phaaaaat - very roni!

U produce?

Nice.

I jus went round a mate of mines, and he is using Logic Audio 5. Its properly phat, and the quality of sounds and beats is outstanding, he has jus had a release, and its upmost quality.

How come you dont use Logic PM?

Jamminnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Balls Deep]

Mainly cos i only have 64mb of ram!! As soon as im upgraded i know the people who can help me out and it will be on my comp along with reaktor, absynth etc.

Just downloaded an old synth prog i used to fuck about with at uni called Orangator and it creates some truly filthy noises.

"Horrorshow" is nearly finished, and then you'll find out.
