DFRNT - Aftermath / The Next Step [new tracks & 320s]

2 new tracks, taking my sound in a slightly different direction.

The Next Step - a slow plodding track with warm open synths, and a high-end sparkly sound for melody. The drop provides a slow growling bassline, which never quite emerges from the shadows.

and

Aftermath - This sort of stabbed-out track with warm synths leading the sound, and some guitar-licks to provide something of a melody. Deep & dubby.

I've gone for the really dubbed-out chilled ethereal electro type stuff with these. Basically I've been enjoying a lot of stuff on Modern Love records, and artists like Andy Stott, Claro Intellecto, Quantec and Basic Channel stuff. As a result I wanted to transfer some of that feeling in to my new productions, so the result is these two (and possibly more in the future).

I'd say they were both more headphone orientated tracks, and definitely ones that require a little concentration, as opposed to a quick flick-through, or dance floor tracks.

It would be great to hear what people thought...

Nice tunes. It feels like theyre gonna go somewhere and then they dont, which is annoying and cool at the same time, waiting for the beat to kick in as it where. nice though.

Your production though is phenomenal, the sound is perfect. So full. Though I was listening with my good in ear headphones, the ones that go deep in ear but still, nice.
