Of course you can join in!

And the deadline can be moved further if needed, no worries!

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

That's exactly how my track sounds :p although mine is very slow tempo (77 bpm :O)

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

I'd also vote for an extension on the deadline. I'm leaving Saturday to make my way out to Colorado for the UW show, and then to NYC & Boston. Then stay in NYC for a week to catch the Chemical Brothers the following weekend. I have a few ideas on tracks, but doubt I'll get it done by Saturday.

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Can't wait to hear it! Mine's at 90 bpm I think. So they'll be totally different. ;)

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

can someone fix the notification email????
djeezes!

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Room for one more?

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Sure man.

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

I'm all for extension of the deadline. I have a track lying around here to which I have to add some vocals and probably I should change the kickdrum as well. Mine will be dancey.

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

I too would be up for the extension...

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

i'm going to require an extension as well. just too dang busy these past few weeks w/work and everything else... i'm going on vacation next week too... i won't be able to get anything done by the 23rd... i'm going to have to detach myself from the list unfortunately...

but i am looking forward to hearing what you have prepared...

cheers,

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

I'd like in.

Oh, fwiw... my track's done pretty much, just need to clean the sound up a bit. But I don't have to compose it :)

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Nice one.

Let's postpone the deadline to October 21st? On a sunday. That should give you all plenty of time to finish off your song. I know I need some time to finish my song anyway. I have a habbit of making a song, almost finish it and then change it completely.

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Ok, here's the list of everyone involved:

Cadevil
Camiel Toe
Cranks
Future Proof
Holden
King Of Snake
Leon
Luminary
Lx_Nen
Polar Action
Sean
Thee Carp Dreamer
Ultradave
Winston

Quite a lot of people, which is great :) And I don't think anyone's planning on actually getting this compilation on cd, so the more songs, the more fun! :) I think a limit of 9 minutes per song is good though.

Oh and one more thing: Eventually, it would be nice to have a page on the website with some information about all the participants. A picture, artist name, real name, Dirtyforum nickname and a little story about yourself :)

And finally: Your song has to be good :p

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Great. Back to the drawing board I guess...:D

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

October the 21st is a realistic date. Thanks Leon. Define a good song... good is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it? :p :D

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

No, it's like chocolate

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Re-reading this topic, I came across 2 things:

1. Holden, you said you would be happy to submit album work? Still into doing this? Or maybe webdesigning?

2. Who's got a good name for the compilation?

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

in the ear of the beholder in this case ;)

excellent - an extra month should be enough time... it's on!

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Yeah, sorry for the delay..i've been traveling (with that NYC stop to see Underworld!).

I am still happy to work on some album artwork. My track is in the works...lots of chances to compose on the laptop on airplanes and in hotel rooms lately!

As for the name, is "dreamgirl, i'm desperate for you" still in? Me likes.

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

can it be a cover version of a song?

don't worry children, it's not be shouting a cover version of a reggae song. or is it? lol

actually fuck it, i'll take this seriously for a change. but it's still a cover version.

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Take crap, record it - whatever. As long as it's good.

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

(bump!)

Everyone still on-board with this? So, the deadline's now October 21, right? To whom do we send the submissions/bios and my promised artwork?

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Yeah, thanks for the reminder :) Been working on my tune for quite some time now, still needs perfection though.

I think somewhere in this topic Winston offered webspace?

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

I'm still working on mine with every intention of having it ready for October 21. Actually, I should probably have it ready before since that's my wife's birthday and I don't think she'd be too keen on me sitting there working on music all day. So I'm in. And mine might have guest vocals by one of our very own dirties....:)

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Mine's done... as in I've decided it's done and chucked it on my iPod to live with it for a bit, then realised I wanted to tweak some bits, fiddled with it, decided it's done and chucked it on my iPod to live with it for a bit, then realised I wanted to tweak some bits, fiddled with it, decided it's done and chucked it on my iPod to live with it for a bit, then realised I wanted to tweak some bits, fiddled with it etc .... and now I've stopped at version 6.

I may start again before the 21st, but that's life, and if I'm still fiddling after the 21st I'll send what I've got now and call any further fiddling a remix.

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Good to hear some folks are basically done! I hope we have a pretty solid completion rate from folks on the list!

I am reworking a track that i recorded on 4-track in 2002 (back then, using a guitar, cheap effects pedals, crapio keyboard, and drum machine). I'm bringing it into the electronic world, but trying to replay the guitar parts is harder than i thought. And then, the vocals...i'm never happy with how my recorded voice sounds, so there's still plenty of takes to go! But it'll be done on time.

Really looking forward to hearing all your tunes :)

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Hey guys me too. I need a good excuse to be creative again. 19 days left... i'll try my best.

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Damn, that sounds familiar. ;)

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

i think i'm finished. or i might add another electric guitar solo. lol.

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Hey! i'm almost done tinkering with my track, but in the meantime, as promised, here is a preliminary, lo-fi version of possible artwork for the compilation. It's designed as a CD-sized booklet gatefold (so, Right side is front, left is back), assuming all the tracks fit on one CD. The names are just in alphaorder, to be rearranged and with tracknames added.

Take a look:

This is just a start and obviously the real version will be better than this jpeg screenshot. Feel free to comment/critique, either here or PM me your ideas. :)

Cheers,
Holden

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

I quite like it :)

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Album art looks great.

Can you change the name Luminary to Segue ... cause thats the monkier my track has been written under :)

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

And mine'll be under the name Grandbrother rather than Sean.

Nice direction on the album design. :)

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

My alias is A Gator Got Her.

Everyone don't forget to write a small biography and include a picture :) I don't know who to send it too yet, who's providing webspace?

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

artwork looks cool. Would like to see the typography fit a bit more with the graphics, rather than just being slapped on with a dropshadow though ;)

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Hah! The typography was actually done first, then i slapped on the graphics!
Thanks for the feedback, i'll work on integrating them. :)

[COLOR=blue]EDIT:[/COLOR]
i've changed the names as requested and have messed around with layered text, in the spirit of Dubnobasswithmyheadman. i enjoy layerng it to the point of abstraction so you have a gradation from solid color to just a few wispy words.
Still a work in progress, and the text looks crappy in the jpeg, but i assure you it's readible!

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

good to see the progress. nice artwork for the cover. October 21st is only 11 days away... i should be done with my effort :D

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

We have almost finished our track.
Its turned into a bit of a tech monster, with a dirty rolling bassline and interesting female spoken word over the top.
We road tested it live last week and it was well recieved.
A few tweaks and it should be ready to roll out

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

my artist name is "lucid rhythms", by the way. :)

Re: Dirty producers: Song/remix compilation
 

Names sorted, including my own (holden=Avid)! Like a dummy, i just copied and pasted the original list of names from these boards, forgetting that people might have preferred production names. Anyone else want a change?

Here's artwork, version 3:
http://brian.g.ruskin.googlepages.co...artv3-full.jpg

How will we go about submitting our tracks and bios? Email?
