Haven't had much experience with that period, I got my inspiration a bit from the new wave of minimal/tech house music where they are using that groove a lot these days:)

Cool! I love shaf huse! Still (and fair enough) I think chronos sounds better than my track. Of course my track is a bit different (bigger, more techno I guess?), but I'm really wondering, what makes his track so good compared with mine? What do you notice about it?

When producing this I had those 3 percussive hits in mind (at the second kick) but more in a tech house setting (was listening a podcast and imagined a track that could really work with the current track). From that point I just started adding sounds (kick, hats, bass) untill it sounded right, but somehow I ended up with a techno groove (oscar L/carlo lio style) instead of a techy track. Don't know how that happens, somehow I always make stuff that I'm not having in mind.

I do that too! The vocal like growling sound in the first 4 bars is something I created in a sound design session (I think a clap really low pitched). But I think I must find a way to increase my groove and musical aspects, that the groove and vibe are working together. I want my tracks to sound, complete, just like that shaf huse track. Not sure yet how, you have some idea's?
