NSU -”NEUTRON STAR” ROMANTECH REMIX (2007) – FREE NZ DRUM AND BASS DOWNLOAD
DIGITAL RE RELEASE ON WWW.NEWCLEARMUSIC.COM
So let me remember I believe this remix is over 2 years old.
This is a personal fave of mine because it was when I had really mastered basslines and was able to start writing tunes faster, which gave me more time to think about what I was doing.
It was the last of quite a creative string of tunes I did over the end of 2006 and the beginning of 2007 which included “Past Lives” – Ivan NSU had contacted me on Myspace about a remix and I had agreed not realising he was actually in NZ, so I was pretty lax about it until I was quickly able to throw down a demo in a night. After months of dicking around.
It was cool, but I insisted I wanted to bring up the engineering. But I’d been really influenced by a recent D-Bridge gig whcih was of course full of minimal melodic tech and so I began to break down the melody, or more kind of fuse it, to give more room for the bass grooves to push through.
In fact I totally rewrote the bass so it dropped with a heavier more insistent roll, again, part of me fusing down the raw elements into a more forceful concept.
Also for some reason, I was able to avoid making a complete bollocks of the mastering, so aside from perhaps Positive Vibes and maybe one or two others, it’s one the better sounding tunes from that era.
This was an important tune for me because actually it was after this tune I decided to think more about the kinds of tunes I’m putting together, which really slowed down my output just until recently when I’ve been busy again.
