That’s the thing, there’s been nothing new for over 20years now like a new genre, scene or counterculture, what was the last thing Dubstep??? I just call it robot f**king noise! There needs to be a new scene but what would it sound like?

The problem is most people no longer actively seek new music.They are fed it by youtube recommendations and stream playlists.Peoples tastes are becoming more nainstream at a time when more music than ever is being released.

I still love house / rave music and go to reunions sometimes. I'm also an aspiring producer and hope to have an EP out in the next couple of years. I agree though, most modern music is crap lol!

Just thinking is rave and dance music just dead now? I know it’s been like that for a few years now but people live their lives as if it never existed in the first place, people just don’t have apetite for rave music anymore, well the mainstream music scene don’t. Any commercial music made today won’t be remembered like the classics of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s will they? It feels like the good music has gone and taken away from me and my generation, the spirit is gone and nothing worth listening too and Friday nights are just boring mediocre trash now. All this new rave stuff just seems hurried and gash and doesn’t have the full vibe of the original music. The odd one can be okay but not a lot. Maybe I should start trolling again like the good old days of the early 2000s. Get back to the oldskool live and kicking again! Ain’t you just bored now? What you guys think?

cheers

I think that Liquid deserves to get his own topic since we got some news today, an announcement for a forthcoming album coming around March on Kniteforce Records...
That's the second personal release after "Still EP" which came out on KF six months ago (  kniteforce.bandcamp.com/album/kf82-liquid-still-ep )

Hi All!

I have 3 questions.
 
Firstly, does anyone remember where that famous female laugh sample (a delayed laugh) was taken from? I know that's not much to go on but it was a really famous one used in house tracks back in the day. I sadly can't remember any specific tracks at the moment that used it.

I've also been looking for high quality (16 bit stereo wav) rave stabs and samples. Anyone know any decent packs out there? Zenhiser seemed too over processed for me. Unless that was just for the demo purposes on their site but don't wanna purchase them to find out they're exactly the same. I want them effect free. Loopmasters didn't seem to come up with anything I thought decent either or what I was looking for and I bought some ages ago called DMS Old Skool Rave which had every stab imaginable on it but they're all like tremelo'd or wah'd so even though the samples were say 3 or 4 seconds in length, you could only use the first 1 second or less of it before it wah'd. Someone said, that's probably done due to copyright. I'm looking for the landlord stab, the Brazil - Spectrum stab, some of the stabs used by Altern8, the Mentasm stab etc. I want a decent high quality sample pack with say 100 stabs and samples in it, so 50 stabs say and 50 house samples such as the laugh mentioned earlier.

Thirdly, couldn't I just sample all the stabs I need from CD's (I was told records might have hiss) so I could just buy all the records with the samples / stabs on them and sample them myself? how hard is this process?

Thanks!

After the disappointment of the 'audiophile' 1200s which were both ludicrously expensive and IMO cheap looking (having seen them in the flesh at Richer Sounds) I hope these will be more like the old ones. No prices announced yet.

Some weeks ago The Prodigy have set up a kinda remix contest for their upcoming release on "Timebomb Zone"!!
There are so many many remixes on this but I'd just wanna stick to this brand new and absolutely firing takeover by my greek brotha Orestiz, who returned after a while with a serious quality dish!!!
Feel free to comment repost or whatever if you feeling it. I'm personally very happy & honoured listening to such a class Nu-Rave takeover and can't hide my excitement!

It's worthy!
