Rustal

Been experimenting lately with that push and pull feeling in the groove.
Resampling vocals through the Roland VT4 and reversing bits of percussion.
That psychoacoustic influence for me mainly comes from the Birmingham techno sound. There’s something hypnotic but tough about it that I’ve always loved.
The Yamaha RM1X swing has been great for this as well. It really has a natural groove to the drums and it’s such a warm sounding machine(Thanks again Jay) 
Also been trying a timer when building grooves. The limitation of time seems to make decisions easier.

Favourite slide?
