Last topic got pruned, I guess. For those few who don't already know, I produce some electronic music. My main hosting site is at

http://www.soundclick.com/radioactivewatermelon


Anyway, I am back. During my short-ish absence I managed to produced about an EP's worth of new material. :)
Produced the individual parts over the past month, and completed the arrangements and mixdown this week.

New hardstyle song (first one since From the Gutter, actually): Suspect Motives


A first attempt at psytrance: Caravan


New, dark electro song: Nightfall Zero


And an experimental breakbeat song incorporating samples from the Mills Brothers (this one is free to download): Abandoned Mills

You can also listen to the whole project here: http://radioactivewatermelon.bandcamp.c ... ct-motives

Enjoy!

Very cool, epsons.

I'll take an in-depth listen soon, but from what I heard, I like it. :)

It wasn't me who made it. ;)

Also, I completed mixing on one of the songs... kind of a Big Beat style song, with slower breakbeats.

edit: Also completed mixing on the other song version... a more fast-paced, dnb style song.

That would end the shameless self promotion for today. XD

I've completed another dnb track... and it only took me all summer. :P

In this track I focused on combining my ambient soundscapes and textures with sub bass and increasingly hectic breaks... I think it turned out pretty well.

I should be back working on my dubstep project if I can get Massive to work, and I have an ambient track in the works.

I figure it's time for a bump, and an update.

New projects:

dark electro: http://soundcloud.com/radioactivewaterm ... -electro-1

dubstep project : http://soundcloud.com/radioactivewatermelon/dubstep1
This was more to experiment with the genre than anything. Free to download!

minimal ambient track: http://soundcloud.com/radioactivewaterm ... -ambient-1

And lastly, an older trance song that I've just remastered to reduce some high-frequency problems: http://soundcloud.com/radioactivewatermelon/trance3

Let me know if you notice any problems with the sound of the last one... muffled sound, annoyingly high-pitched hi-hats, stuff like that. No two headphones or speakers are the same, it seems.

Also, as you can see my song titles are as creative as ever. :P

True enough. It's easy for my "What was the last thing you did" posts to quickly get buried, so I should probably be keeping this topic up to date.

I was finally able to solve the problems I'd been having with one of my vsts crashing... and got a couple of projects done as a result. :D

dubstep2: http://soundcloud.com/radioactivewatermelon/dubstep2

The first dubstep track I posted was not so much dubstep (more of a regular breakbeat song with the trademark dubstep snare pattern), but this one is truly dubstep, with some reggae influences.

ambient4: http://soundcloud.com/radioactivewatermelon/ambient4

This is pretty much my first ambient track with drums... I think it turned out pretty well. On the melody side of things, I tried building the song around the beginning melody, but with three different sections that were meant to each add a different perspective to the original melody... if that makes sense. It probably doesn't because it's late and I'm tired, but yeah. :P

Most. Prolific. Year. Ever. :P

If you only check out one song, make it the last one...
