      Tough track. Wicked! Really like the sounds you're getting, esp. the Manix-esque break that drops. Tidy ;-)

      acid sky or acid tunnel??? i love the acieddd sound m8

    2. raytrace on November 10, 2008 19:14

      @steveparker: well I suppose that it does sound kinda tunnelly or journeyish, but I called it Acid Sky because I think the pads are very airy/skyish - so they're like a relief after the bludgeoning of the main part of the song :D - yeh I made this when I got Phoscyon because I thought it was the first plugin I got that TRULY sounded pretty close to a 303

      @raytrace: That acidy riff is so nice...

    3. raytrace on October 08, 2009 22:01

      @zuur: :) - yeh I was in two minds (as im pretty sick of songs being put in groups they make no sense in) about putting this in the Acid group, but there is definitely enough acid running through this stuff to be included IMO - yeh that riff is so squishy - its lovely :D

      CLASSIC!!!! ;)

    2. raytrace on October 07, 2009 20:26

      @Paco - Condition: yeh it really is almost acidic - but not quite still sounds pretty 'normal' hardcore-y, you can always hear acidic type stuff at some stage in Hypnotist songs though :D

    3. Paco - Condition on October 23, 2009 22:22

      @raytrace: this is my favourate version of transcript as you know.classic shit.

    3. raytrace on October 07, 2009 20:27

      @stephen roche: yeh it is way heavier than the original IMO, the original is more kinda hypnotic/trancey though I think

    1. raytrace on October 08, 2009 00:21

      I often thing of big acid drops like this as sounding like thunder or rain smashing down from the sky, I think in this track it REALLY does sound like that (to me anyway :p )

    2. raytrace on October 08, 2009 00:22

      Crikey i didn't know he had passed on. Great producer/dj/label bod. Last time i saw him was a a rave in a church in nw london, he was spinning in the vestry!. Thanks for posting this.

    2. raytrace on October 07, 2009 20:37

      @zander: thanks man - glad you enjoyed it, yeh it was very difficult trying to decide which tracks to use, I almost had what was technically the first RHC track - the Rising High remix of 'Move Any Mountain' in, but I had to cut it out in the end. Yeh there is nothing that I own from Rising High which I dislike, including my 'Hard As Fuck' slipmats ;) :D

      @stephen roche: hmm im not sure which one - it does sound a little like 'My Definition Of House Music' in some bits

    3. stephen roche on September 04, 2009 23:47

    2. raytrace on September 05, 2009 14:44

      @The Observer: thanks a lot man :) - yeh I think what happened with the string was I automatically panned it to the right because I was going to put another string with it at the same time, but then I deleted that, I should probably have brought the strings back towards the centre then...

      wow, this track has some amount of varation in it!! .. lovely stuff. While there is obviously the detroit flavour, its got more of an early 90s UK sound, like R&S / Apollo / Warp , than US. (a good thing in my book! ;)

      @Dj Paco aka Condition: the claps are Goldbaby 909 - I think theres UAD Phase on them aswell. Yeh I think I know the Armani track you'r talking about, it's on Blow That Shit OUt or the Circus Bells 12" I think..

      Altrn8 sample?

    2. raytrace on August 14, 2009 22:26

      @Eoin Bishop: no sorry, I actually sampled it from T99 - Anasthasia, not 'Frequency' (though Im pretty sure they are the EXACT same sound, although Frequency has a bit more effects on it). I think the T99 stab is definitely one of the earliest appearances of that noise. I think its an opera stab, distorted to fuck (and obviously low bitrate), chopped hard at start and end... (not sure though tbh). Songs like MNO - God Of Abraham would kinda support that hypotheses also I think.

    1. Paco - Condition on August 13, 2009 08:33

      perfect, what did you use to get that stab?

    2. raytrace on August 13, 2009 15:37

      @Dj Paco aka Condition: its a sample of Anasthasia - I didnt actually do that much to it, as it takes in so many frequencies that you cant really chop out too much, - I used Flux Bittersweet set to 'Bitter' to make it attack more.

      @The Observer: hmm its chopped at 40hz - theres an exciter thingie on it though which I think maybe kinda saturating it a little too much and making it sound boomier than it actually is - Ill have a listen on my hi-fi speakers when I get a chance...

      cool them different break chops

    2. raytrace on August 14, 2009 22:31

      @The Observer: thx :) - a lot of the filtering was done in Dr. Rex player where the envelopes cutoff was actually being automated, hence the kinda 'plastic' noise you can hear off the snares as it goes up and down.

    3. ooh ja it s cool man ..lots off stuff happening

      maybe too much bottom end on your kick?

    2. raytrace on August 13, 2009 15:45

      @DyLABs: yeh I deciding how much frequency to leave on them, in the end even though I knew they were likely to end up really big and even clouding some other sounds, I decided to leave them very loud as I just love the sound of them underneath the DJs Take Control break - they definitely are very subby though...

      @raytrace: you know my thoughts about this tune!!!absoulutely one of the most important edm records ever made imo.classic.temple of sound on a friday night.still gives me a rush's listening to it nearly 20 years later.

    3. raytrace on June 27, 2009 17:28

      @stephen roche: yeh no matter how many times I listen to it - still everytime the wah-wah acidy 'woh-woh' bit and all the crashes come in I smile :)

    4. raytrace on June 29, 2009 15:41

      @The Observer: yeh it was a bit ridiculous when Kopyright Liberation Front tried to sue Liasons D for using the synth line :s

    5. Alkalino on June 30, 2009 00:26

      @raytrace: Dr.Felix and Klf are definitely my favorites versions ...

    6. raytrace on June 30, 2009 00:45

      @Alkalino: yeh I just love the 'New Beat is boring, acid house is dead, this is trance dance...' bit eheh

    7. raytrace on June 30, 2009 00:46

      @raytrace: my favourite overall version is the one on the Doctorin The Tardis 12", or one of the versions on the plain black KLF 12" (I cant remember which one though)

    8. raytrace on June 30, 2009 00:47

      @stephen roche:I just copied the last LFOy noise from Energy Flash and put it under stuff - I turned it up a bit and had reverb going up to maximum by end of samples - also theres one which is slowed down to half speed and then reversed aswell

    3. raytrace on June 27, 2009 17:32

      @stephen roche: yeh I think this song would need some serious lasers, dry-ice and strobes :D - moonflowers lol - the other mix is amazing too - the one with the kinda classical synth bits that sounds like a soundtrack to 'The Terminator' or something...

    4. Alkalino on June 30, 2009 00:27

      @raytrace: oh man the memories with this one...but i prefer the original one !

    5. raytrace on June 30, 2009 00:48

      @rayspark-industries: yeh it definitely is, while I do have nostalgia for Fairy Dust, I always preferred this the roundness of the bass and cool rolling breakbeat and claps over the massive round kicks just got me instantly when I put it on and the really strobelighty feel of the acid squelches - great stuff :D

    2. raytrace on June 29, 2009 16:00

      @zander: glad you like it man - yeh so many of the early dance music that I was into come from New Beat (pretty much all the second half of this mix), XL Recordings: The Second Chapter just sounded so amazing when I first heard it back then on cassette :D. Yeh i did have a lot of fun making this and I probably will make a more straight early 4/4 ish hardcore and R&S type stuff mix soon.

    3. zander on June 29, 2009 16:10

      @raytrace: great stuff! Enjoying your other productions as well i was thinking more r&s when i was listening to this great period of music imo mate :)

      @Eugene X: yeh this was originally going into 'ASCENT' you can hear it is ruffly an arpeggiation of the same 4 ascending black keys (see how musical I am :p)/Altern-8 type sequence, I just couldnt get it to sit in it right, and there is already so much going on in the low to mid frequencies in that track, so I left this out, although I really like the sound of it tbh

I think there's a lot of acid and not much sky, but sky does win over in the end.....
