ok.. so i had to join (after lurking for over a year) to comment this!! I am always, always thinking of this.. but i have not production skills and little patience.. and zero peers that are into it. SO dnb and psy being my two favorite electronic genres I have always waited to find a good mash!!
I would say these are great starting points... but I'm hereing only a few layers!! I would suggest throughing it down soumi style with this type of thing.. ScatterSplatter is def. my fav so far... but still IMO there could be much more variance, I mean you have bassnectar as a friend and live in the bay?? i think lol? so you have seen him live right!! so sick, just mash it!! it doesnt have to have the same dnb kick through the whole song.. through some rolling lines in or some more breaks, DEF more samples of "trippy" shit..
most of all, dont listen to anyone else cause its your project!!
but as far as hard/heavy goes.. its a feeling, like internal organs getting smashed.. for dnb I would check evol intent... I know counterstrike, gein, mumblz, current value, the sect, limewax.. they are all hard...........but when i listen to EI newest album era of diversion I get this distinct vibe like HOLY FcK..
I think you should listen to some metal with a very distinct "hard & heavy" production technique and see if you get this feeling.. obviously black sabbath... (also Snares black sabbath mixes are good too) then there is necrophagist, cephalic carnage, aborted: goremaggedon.. and probably the heaviest metal I have Blood Red Throne: Monument of Death
SO SO SO far from psy.. BUT! why not?!?!? just mash it??
and dont forget to keep it "trippy" lol
basically just more bass lol
