[Hard-ish Trance] OrgaNik vs. Ambia - Reaper (Full 320)
Long time no see fellas...
I thought it was about time to throw subtlety to the corner and get back to basics. This was originally supposed to be my attempt at doing something psy-flavoured but as you can hear it failed quite miserably. Then it sat on my HD for months and finally I sent it to Joe to salvage whatever was possible out of it.
Thus, Reaper was born. We might not score much points in originality with this one but does it really matter?
Love the percussion and the acid! And the overall mix is fantastic. Very pro sound. You're right, it's not super "original", but that's clearly not what you were going for on this track.
Nice use of bitcrushing and such, though, without going "over the top" with it.
Not much musical originality but fantastic production work here. This track really makes me want to work on my percussion.

Yeah, percussion has always kinda been my thing... though I thought I left them fairly simple this time

Definitely professional sounding, the acid lines really cut sick! Repetitive, but it gets into a good groove right from the start so the repetitive thing works. Vocal sample gave me a chuckle too
I'll see your living room and raise you a play in my car . . .

this track is intense, but I like it.
you can definitely hear the psy elements in there, but it's not as 'mechanical' as actual psy. None of the less, great work guys
huge wow at percs and bass. the mix is great. Melody synth and acidline are clashing for space in the mix though, in teh end the melody is a little drowned in the mix. Maybe a little more LFO action on the acidline around minutes 3-4 would be fun.
But damn, what a nice banger. I think I just fell in love <3

The track itself isn't really the most original, I've heard way better from Nik , but the production quality (especially the drums) is ace
