Jamie Stevens - Transference (Luke Chable & Mangan's Tranceference Remix) [Music To Die For]

[Hensmon]

Anyone remember the 00 prog producer Luke Chable? Didnt know he was still making music but came across this randomly on soundcloud.

Nothing mind blowing but still pretty nice, maybe some will like here.

I love the melodic elements but the percussions are kinda weak. A more punchy kick and more drive like his old tracks would do wonders.

 

[Hensmon]

Yeah kinda feel the same. It's like there is a memo sent to all prog producers of today that groove/drive/rawness is not the one anymore. This isn't too bad though for percussion, relatively speaking. Could grow on me a lot this one because the melodies are v nice.

I saw this posted in a trance discord and was stunned to see Chable back, but this is pretty underwhelming. Going through his SoundCloud, he's had a few new releases that kind of fit the same bill - certainly different than most modern prog, but the rust is showing, as well as the modern influence.

I love this Luke Chable remix!

 

[Propeller]

It's just very fluffy, made for Instagram / social media. Old prog, like old trance, had a certain edge and bite to it. Nowadays being social media friendly is often the main criteria so you get watered down stuff like this. Understandable in a way but not for my taste.

 

[TwinSilo]

Hit and miss. Melodic direction is good and I like it, but rest of you already covered the issues.

 

[Electronlyman]

Better than 99% of all the tracks this year, you guys are really harsh on it.

 

[HTY]

Can see the correct thread for this now @Electronlyman. Really loving it. It’s beautiful. I agree percussion could have more to it, but this is so nice

 

[Hensmon]

This has grown on me loads. Love the melody.

 

[Sleepy Robot]

Great track imo. Agree with @Electronlyman

 

[Redrot]

I still think it has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer when it comes to the melodic elements but hey, so do most old Nathan Fake tracks, and I like those. Maybe reminds me of some of the tunes from Clark - Body Riddle (goat album in my books)

 

[Peenuts]

Gave this a few listens. Whilst i do like the melodic ideas in this, as a whole the track falls a bit flat. Even though prog is repetitive by its very nature, I do think both the percussive elements and overall arrangement could do with more variation and ups-and-downs.

P.S. also sounds like a melodic Gai Barone track.
