  • Hey all, it’s been a while. Really happy with how this Melodic Deep House Number has come along. Any and all thoughts are welcome.

    • Really great track.

      A mixnote. Your kick is really heavy and eats up a lot of space in the mix. It can be turned down or as a last resort, turn the deep lows on it down with a shelf.

      Other than that it sounds really good.

      • Thanks Piv. Thinking a solve for that could be the reducing the db at fader or low shelf and adding transient to keep the level consistent.

    • That did it. 6DB shelf, and make up the gain with smack attack to reshape the kick a little. Might do some more work to the vocals, and maybe add a piano under the main synth for color. Or, maybe she’s…Read More

      • Realy nice track Scott, reminds me of some of Hot Chip’s deeper stuff which is a big compliment from me. Only issue I found was there was a bit too much saturation on the instruments, seemed like you could tone it down on the bass and leads for a cleaner sound – got particularly noticable around 2:40 ish, just felt like everything could be dialed…Read More

        • I’ll take that compliment, cheers mate! Also a huge HC fan here. Yes, there’s a filter that’s opening on the Dotted 4th main lead that’s driving that section. Will try leaving the filter movement but perhaps dialing back the decapitator a bit.

      • So much better. Melodic Techno is not kick focused, its just there making the groove. 🙂 This is by far the best you have made. The saturation Ben is talking about seems right. Do you open a filter a bit that makes your saturation sound more dominant, Now I didn’t notice it on first run. Maybe because I listen on speakers. Second time I noticed…Read More

        • I know what you mean about headphones vs speakers. Definitely more noticeable on the cans than monitors or hifi. Will see what reducing the saturation a bit does.

          • Took 7DB shelf out of the bassline too. Reduced the saturation and filter cutoff of the main synth to open the mix up. Added a vocoder to the vocal which found it being way more in-line with what I’d originally had in mind. Thanks for the feedback, made a big difference.…Read More

    • Hey Scott nice work has good groove /feel i like those stabs in at 1.20 sound cool and has a good chord progression nice work mate

About Me

Ian Whaters

Pastoral care

Music bio

Artist name: DJWhaters

From: South East UK

Style: My passion for hard dance music was sparked from a young age…. But more recently I have ventured in to the Techno Arena

I love making music that is harder in style, Frenchcore is a unique solid sound that you either love or hate, my sounds are unique and individual but I’m making music I like and not chasing fame or money but making music to escape reality

For me it was fresh sounds and ignited my rebellious streak as everyone around me conformed to mainstream music & too scared to stand out & I like to own it & make my music stand out and different to the norm

My passion for hard dance music was sparked from a young age, but more recently I have ventured in to the Techno Arena just for a learning experience.

I finally had opportunity and support and freedom to take the leap with producing music in a recent low budget movie in London

Music for me is all about playing with sounds & keeping it fresh, both Hardcore and Techno ignited my rebellious streak as everyone around me conformed to mainstream music as it allows me to make it my own and stand out and be different to the norm as I can adapt my style to tell stories with music or just to have fun
