Can't get my head around this percussion

So I've been trying to work on my percussion. Before just hammering on a bassline that takes up loads of space.
My percussion is a lot more rigid, than, say, this song by Prometheus:

I was wondering if anyone had any input to capture a driving, yet not so "house-y" percussion. I'd post examples of my stuff but it's pretty mediocre, nothing you wouldn't expect to hear so far.
I've been trying to figure out how to gel my percussion in a more psy-trance type fashion as you'd see in something like this, or older Hallucinogen stuff. Think Deranger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx4mPV6--Qk
Thanks for any input on stuff I might be able to try. |

16 notes hardquantized with a velocity envelope where the weak points would be the first and 3rdbeat and the strong point on 2 4.
say the digits represent a velocity scaling.

to be honest, it sounds pretty ing bad. But as a general rule, the hihat should lead to the backbeat ie 2 and 4. |

Thanks Clooney. Any advice on the ambiance/effects?
I ask because it all sounds fairly gelled together.
If I try to put reverb/delay on that much stuff it ends up being a mess.
I'm after that 'messy/drenched in effects' yet tight (imo) sound.
One of the hardest things I'm finding to execute is creating a decent ambiance and sticking with it. |
