Curious what you all think?
I’m really into this stuff right now

I don’t like this stuff, I’m well familar with it, but you definitely succeed in capturing that vibe, I prefer your other stuff TBH, but obviously whatever floats your boat, I just don’t like this style of techno personally as I find it boring, undoubtedly though it serves a purpose.
yup
Thanks!
@darenager. That’s fair. I like all kinds of music but learning how to make this style of techno has been elusive for me for years. I finally think I’m getting closer.
This is the kind of music I used to play. Then I got old and all the music got new. Lol!

Yeah when I was young I was into it, I probably OD’d on it 
but as I said you definitely nailed the vibe and it wouldn’t sound out of place in a Carl Cox or Colin Dale set.
Using some of the same techniques, here’s another one in this style. It’s fun to make for sure. Not sure if it’s relevant anymore though

Definitely still relevant, I know quite a few people well into this kind of stuff, besides if you find it relevant that is all that matters 
Again it isn’t my cup of tea anymore, but you are nailing it, proper!

Thank you!!! 
Probably the only real reason I’m into this right now is I recently learned how to make my own loops and have them change over time. Once I figured that out, it feels like a lot more is possible.

it drives!
Both banging! Prefer the first one but both sound great. Would love to hear more about how you produced them, any tricks etc?

Yea man, thanks! I’m little embarrassed to say because it’s pretty easy to do.
Just set your loop length to 1/2 a bar or 8 steps. Sound and Parameter lock each step with random sounds. Tweak the sounds to taste. Then record a long take (with knob movements etc) into something like Ableton.
Let that take guide the rest of your arrangement (i.e. when a hi hat comes in, or a clap, the break, etc).
The magic for me happens when I start rearranging the parts and take.
What I like about this is it’s not so rigid and structured. You can really just let loose, do what you want. then bring some order to the chaos with the “re-arrangement”

Nice - are you using Elektron gear or is it all Ableton? I’ll have to have a go at making some harder stuff, I don’t listen to that much of it but when done well e.g. 90s Regis it really hits hard
Depends. But this is where Overbridge comes in handy. I have a Rytm and it syncs up super tight to Ableton.
You can do the same thing with a Max 4 Live Monosequencer and a drum rack.

Great stuff like always from you. This is really what I want in a techno track: energy.

Thanks you guys! Super inspired. I fired up the Rytm and Overbridge and jammed this out real quick using some of the techniques I talk about above. Took me about a total of an hour. OB makes it super easy.
100% Rytm with a mix of synthesis and samples. Perf is your friend to. This is not old school techno. I don’t know what it is

I enjoyed the first instalment and I’m looking forward to hearing the rest! Love the sound of 90’s techno. Thank you!!!

Gotta make a mix out of your tracks. For these ring-road-fuck-speed-limit moments.
You need to have other covers alongside the music, these smooth space art renders are really not any good for the sick 90s vibe you got going on in the tracks.
