This one took a very long time, but not for a good reason. It’s not great overall and the movements at the end are very messy. I simply got stuck making it and wanted to finish.
Samples used:
For this one I used:
Additionally, for the first time, I used effects as part of the final recording. Specifically, I used the unison effects on the PO-33. I think they gave a nice twist to the music.
It took me very long to get this together. It’s not that there was a specific difficulty. I just had a block and wasn’t happy with whatever I was doing. The final result, however, I find quite pleasing :)
I was somewhat lazy with this one because I used the same patch as I did for my previous track, “Nordic Moon”. In addition, I used a sample of the “Dominator” sound from the online preview of the Heisenberg synthesizer.
It’s a relatively slow track (at least it starts slow), which I wanted to do after listening to G Jones – In Your Head. A very cool and hard-hitting “bass movement” track. So you can say it’s an inspiration :)
The Prodigy have released the first single from their next album, “No Tourists”. The album will be out November 2nd.
Needless to say, excitement level is high :)
For now, here’s the video for “Need Some1”:
In this track I used one shots from this Nordic Electronic sample pack on Loopmasters and this patch for the online Europa synthesizer, which I created myself.
In this track I include a sound that I created myself using the online Europa synthesizer. Here’s the patch I used to create the sound you hear in the background for the entire duration of the track. You can load it into the online synth and play around with it, which is really cool.
I really enjoyed creating the sound and I learned a lot, although I barely scratched the surface of sound creation.
The rest of the sounds are from this sample pack of ethnic instruments.
This track was made only with the default sounds of the PO-33. Even though it’s a slow-sounding track, its BPM is actually 140. It’s not my first attempt to create such a track, but this one finally came out… well… OK. It’s little weird, hence the name.
In this track I tried sampling a song, namely Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good”:
Here’s the original, wonderful song:

I first learned about this song through the Muse’s cover, which is also great and maintains the original feeling of the song while giving it Muse’s unique sound. Here’s their cover:
Unfortunately I don’t remember where I got the wobble sample from, which is a shame. But I tried so many samples for this track that I lost track (ha ha).
I had to rush this one out before going on vacation. Using some ravey sounds it came out pretty nice. At the end it falls a little short, though.
I used the following samples from the “Loopmasters Welcome Free Samplepack”, which you get after registering to Loopmasters:
