English Guns

More reggae inspiration this time, more or less gently transformed towards my usual sonic landscape.
Based around a TR-505 beat, samples, drones and live percussion with synth lines done on DSI Mopho and Absynth.
Basically every piece of equipment that I normally use.
(I should probably do a track with a different instrumentation soon to break the routine, I know.)

Cool atmospheric 'reggae'.  The good thing with the equipment you use, you can't really tell that you're using that specific bit of gear.  It all blends nicely.

Sweeeet! I really like the pitch shifted vocals and crazy ass beats.

I'm not into reggae much, but thought this was great. The atmospere is mysterious and dark. I like how it evolves. Well done!

Thanks, I think I'm mostly thinking of trying a different instrumentation to challenge myself to leave my comfort zone to see what the results will be, of course doing this with my usual setup would be equally interesting.

Thanks, although the track was inspired by reggae, it ended much closer to my usual musical territory.
