Braving the Starstorm

By Jetkick on July 15, 2012 10:55 pm

I dunno if I've gained any notoriety for this, but I've been slacking off WeeklyBeats and finally got reprimanded for submitting tracks after the deadline way too often. gon' try and keep up with the rest o' y'alls now

But no, I've gone back and put some careful attention into this track, adding a lot more than it originally had to it. So here's yet another drum & bass track, but with some added ambiance, planned panning(hood), and some spacy-sounding themes. And water. Space and water and stuff. 'Cause they're both space ships and sea ships? YEAH OKAY

So thanks for listening; I hope you enjoy it! Don't forget to leave feedback and critiques!

Track on SoundCloud (320kbps download!): http://soundcloud.com/jetkick/starshowers-liftoff

You can submit tracks late?  Naww, they're just early for the next week. Cool track... hard work payed off. smile

Thanks! And no, there's a sticky on the Site Help section of the forum where you can request an upload link for past weeks. I've pretty much dominated that thread yeah

Love it, this is great, I think the extra time really helped turn it into awesome

Great, the mix is very clear. This would fit seamlessly into a bullet-hell shmup

awesome that you got it in on time this week wink I was gonna actually message you on Gtalk to remind you. but i forgot haha. I dig the darkness of this track and the weird thereminy thing haha so good

i should mention however that I did give you an upload week last week when I chastised you but I think you rejected it :>

Mix is very clean.  Some great chords inter-playing with melody in there.  It's an interesting mix between happy and dark.  Hehehe, and awesome 'lift off' sample.

FUN! Chair dancing fest here!

Thanks, everyone! @Phil Harmonic, yeah, I did reject it. Sosorri, but I've resolved to no more late upload links.
And @cTrix, the "liftoff" sample gave me some unneeded (albeit circumvent-able) trouble. I'd gone on the NASA website and found an audio sample of an astronaut preparing for takeoff, but couldn't get the "liftoff" coherent and timed well enough. Ended up just saying it myself. hmm

this is my favorite track of this week. among everything i've listened to this week. including trey frey and giraffage and amon tobin and robot science and zedd and koi and all that good stuff. simply amazing

Man last week I had 1 download this week I have like 9... some good stuff coming up!
