Hi folx

Well after some time, Darkstate is back with some new material... this time its dark'n'funky drum'n'bass!!!

This one'll be on our new project but we liked it enough to get it out early in order to get some feedback...

"One Clean Break" Feat. Suzie Clarke

Our new bass player Stu on funky double bass...

Any thoughts and comments please??

Thanks in advance...

Nice track Marc. I like vocal DnB too. I just have 1 cd with some vocal DnB. Might've been DJ Krush but I'm not sure. It missed somewhere for me but I liked it still. I like this track more. I like her voice ya bastard. Great voice really. Which one is she? Didn't you mention a 14 year old girl contacting you? I was thinking that if she wants to sing, you shouldn't discourage her. She might have lots of talent. Maybe just have another one or two of your female vocalists there in the studio so she's not too intimidated. Your call of course. I just imagine what it's like get the courage to try and have a go with someone who's music you admire and then get turned away from even showing what you can do. Just a thought.

Anyways, this is a real nice track. Very nice to listen too. The kick really slams down nicely. The pad that starts out in the beginning sounds like a jv pad, but could come from lots of sources I imagine. The track continues on longer yes? She cuts out abruptly there. I'm listening for the 3rd time and the pad doesn't sound so much like it came from a jv I guess. Just curious. I love the bassline. Sounds almost acoustic but nicely detuned.

Heh! "sounds almost acoustic"... that's cos it IS ya scamp!!   Electric double bass played in by our new guy Stu..

Strings come from the uQ.. with a bit of additional post processing via the VST mix..

Yeah, I think I had to truncate the track to get it into the DT running time.... I'll prolly feed ya a hi-fi version on CD if you like???  

Susie Clarke is the singer... she's new (she's GORGEOUS) and she's done one other track with us that you might like.. its called "GLASS" and its on our website (I'll be posting it here shortly too)

I'll have a think about the young girl.. but its a dicey issue that could cause more problems than it solves... and we are quite well stocked for vocalists right now..

"(she's GORGEOUS)" Rub it in ya bum. Real bassplayer? Novel idea. Don't ask him to change a lightbulb :P

Well the young singer. I understand what you're saying. Just thought that encouraging a younger person might be a big thing for her even if you have no place for her in your musical plans. Still, dicey it could be.

Not rubbing *anything* in mate.... ;)

Just making a typically male observation, and yes, she's very cute, can sing and has a good working attitude... excellente!

Stu's been dropping some phat bass on quite a few of our new tracks - I guess that's what's giving our stuff a bit of an "EZ Rollers" type vibe (which is quite a nice comparison ta very much!)

Marc, i play out couple a times per month on a regular basis, and i´d be glad to give your tune some exposure. not like its gonna make a huge difference globaly, but still...   so yeah, if you can get dubs sorted i´d be well into that.

btw, check out the dj mixes on my page for some smoove vocal dnb, if you like that style. (plug ends here)

cheers, M.

what's with voting, lately? i keep voting for tracks that have got several positive replies and the thingy says "no votes." did you all give up because of the bias?
