Try that groove, with a little delay on snare and kick. BIG Kick!

Can't beat it...whether it's pop-electro like Madonna's "Get Into the Groove" or some of the latest intelligent electro like the stuff off of SCSI...it's all good. People try to deny...they try to deny that they like Shannon's "Let the Music Play" or early Ice-T...but once it starts, once the claps and the gated snares and dx7's take over, there's no turning back...
Love it or hate it, there's no middle ground.
Your stuff is pretty tight Pongoid...ever going to perform near DC?

Hey pongoid, what do you use to flange your drums?...some of the flange in the Retardalator demos had a very intense bendy quality--i liked the effect.
Have either of you used FM synthesis for drums, or do you know anyone that does? I keep scratching my chin about whether a TX81z could be reasonably used as a drum machine; i guess i'm mainly concerned about the its multi-timbral specs.
Yeah...i know MANY djs that HATE electro...it's like they don't even think it's a valid form of dance music... Love it or Hate it--no middle ground

Skinny Puppy's "Who's Laughing Now" was supposed to play in the previews for BAD INFLUENCE ... just thought I'd mention that because no one will read this crappy thread about utterly crappy music...

Message 12/26 10-Dec-99 @ 06:09 PM - RE: electro
i quickly run up to the cashier and ask the guy next to the store's cd player, "What the hell is that? That's awesome..." And I'm dancing around, dropping a few body locks. The guy gives me this really nervous look. He says,
"I don't know what it is...it's a satellite transmission..."
And, while still dancing, I'm like, "what? satellite?what are you talking about?"
His reply:
"It's just muzak."
Maybe I should just stay in my own little world.

you know you are really out of touch when you start poppin and lockin to breakdance...let's just say i got issues...
so, sage are you going to go to the "bring da noize" party? they're going to have luke slater, green velvet!!!! aaaaaahhhh eeeeeekkkkkk malfunnnncccction
just about to say...i really don't think electro and hip hop have ever strayed from one another...very similar philosophy in both musics throughout history...attitude is a critical component in both, yes? and the robots theme hasn't died yet...
and puff daddy outright copies cybotron's PAC-JAM in one of his latest videos, where he does some crappy breakdancing...you know what i'm talking about...
the cybotron original is a bit better...

i think the linn drum defined the rough, early janet jackson sound ... like "i'm in control"...
but i really have no fuckin' idea.
check the link. i'd like to think that "reeelyphatty" is electro... erm... give me your opinions pongoid, you're the electro-master around these parts...

With regards to the Linn Drum, that was an expensive unit that the rich studio guys like Harold Faltermeyer, and his ilk were using. I guess if you want to call those guys the progenitors of electro, them and Kraftwerk, maybe Can, and those types, sure, but guys like Mike and Jaun couldn't afford that stuff. That's why later they'd get 808s and 909s out of pawnshops, and cz101s and dx100s. The Oberheim dmx was another real influential box, and the drumulator, even that little Pearl drumbox, and a 606. They still swear by that shit.
A lot of those sounds in Reelphatty are square wave modulations applied to sines, like a modulated filter in self oscillation. I can get a lot of those types of noises out of my mini (a piece that Detroit couldn't afford at first), but I think you could that out of a dx100 as well if you tried. That makes it slick, and electro'esque, but the groove is an off-kilter thing with really nice triplet rolls, and beautiful syncopation, but lacking the straight ahead drive of true electro. You know, that stuff that makes you want to get up and robo-boogie. Reelphatty is more thinkin music, tough, but not straight enough to keep the floor rockin at a slammin party. That's my thoughts. On that one. My partner's th real electro-master. I am still but a student.

honestly i think the electro spirit is essentially a metter of resources...if i could accomplish everything i wanted to with a used ry30, a used oberheim matrix 6r, and some effects ... that would be closer to electro.
i guess its something to try, eh?
btw. thanks for listening.
