  • Tonight 21:00 CET – Dreaming Lotus – Exclusive Dj Set on our Psytrance Radio

    Dreaming of the lotus flower symbolizes transformation, inner strength, and purity. In many cultures, it represents beauty and the ability to overcome adversity. Growing from mud and blooming in light, and reminds us that we can find hope and strength in difficult…Read More

  • Started working on this one over the weekend, recycling a dub sample from an old track that was consigned to the scrap heap. Bit tougher than some recent ones from me, but still at a respectable bpm. Kinda pleased with how its coming along, but let me know if anything stands…Read More

    • Only problem in that mix is the bass is too loud in the low mids. And there is no need for that loud of a top on it, I know its a huge part of the track. But they can come down a little since the rest of the mix is rather crowded in the low mids, but in a really good way. Your low mids/mids are really great mixed. So the bass feels a bit…Read More

      • Thanks Piv. Will take a look at that – I’d added some saturation to the bass to bring it to the fore, so probably overdid it in that area. Still want to do a fresh mix pass and not 100% sold on the clap / snare layer, but hopefully its heading in the right direction.

    • Nice little vocal effect around :35
      Agree the bass might be overwhelming the track a little but over all this is sounding great.
      This progresses nicely over the track, I really like it.
      The vocal in the drop with the acid 303 is slick
      I’d say this only needs minor tweaks, I know you mentioned the snare/clap. I think this suits the track myself…Read More

    • Agree with Piv on the low mids. I’ve been saturating bass for a whole to fill out that range, and found that using the same synth duplicated one octave higher does a better job. Vocal sounds a bit like Horace Andy, nice. I think a bit of call/response with the synths could help here to provide a bit more breathing room in the mix.

      • Cheers fellas, have made some updates here. Scooped out some of the bass around 200 – 200hz, changed the clap and made some arrangement and mix tweaks. Reckon its sounding quite a bit cleaner now, so pretty happy with it. Thinking it could be the opening track on my long talked about album which I’m aiming for early next year – reckon it sets the…Read More

        • A/B-ing this and the one above the mix is way more open and clean. Nicely done. Love that vocal! Maybe some harshness or clipping at the filter sweep at 1:38. Other than that, lovely.

        • V2 was kind of hidden in the comments, so I’d listened to V1 first … V2 much better, cleaner mix, sounds great. nothing stands out needing attention. Vocals are really good, great track. Well done on getting heard on bbc 6!

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
