Toss and Turn

By impbox on February 25, 2024 12:36 pm

Big triphop fan, always wanted to make some but haven't had much success in the past.
Drums all from the Rytm, mostly stock samples.
Bass synth also from the Rytm.
Fake scratching on the Octatrack using pitch and volume LFOs.
Lots of layers of stuff, horns, keys, guitars with FX from the SK-88 Pro.
Lots of FX and resampling on the Octatrack.

I love the layers fading throughout, super cool track!

This would fit perfectly as music in a shady level of a JSR game. Great work!

Eek! very ill, I love it

Yes!!!!!

damn, right from the start it has an amazing vibe and the groove is so good.

Damn, maybe I should listen to more triphop - this is so sick! The pseudo-scratch fx is dope. Def gives me a Boards of Canada feel, except more hi-tec and crunchy on the beat. Awesome work my dude heart

awesome, you nailed the trip hop vibe, kind of like a grittier tricky. Love the scratch fx.

Cool.. This as some sweet Lorn/Burial cross-over vibes. IMO this is a bit too rhythmically chaotic for trip-hop, which I think is more groove focussed. I really dig it though.

Groovy, punchy, solid dark ambiance with that low crunchy bass.

That's a lot of scratch... smile

The fake scratching sounds sick, really effective at cutting through the rest of the mix. Great to hear some trip hop inspired sounds here, we're way overdue for a revival.

I love how the scratching kinda changes it into an almost dnb pace. Really interesting blend of sounds here, everything is glued together nicely. Could be interesting with some vocals!

Rytm gang represent!

Yeah, I can see Beth Gibbons wailing to this. Very good trip hop effort! The layered SK-88 in particular achieves a distinct vaporwave feel.

The rhythm of the underdark, underbeats if you will.
