it is not very clubby IMO, still I think it is a good tune. One of the better amateur tunes (not really sure whether you are) I have heard recently.

Can you describe how that particular Ozone Electronic dance preset works? (orbably screenshot)

Thanks for the compliment, FunkLoop. Yes, I am an amateur: it's nothing but a hobby: making music on the PC on the attic.  So you not knowing if I am an amateur or not is a huge compliment!  (Hm, maybe I should quit my job now and er... naaaah... 
Usually I make more pop/rock/alternative oriented music but a big part of my hobby is to try various styles. Since my son (who sings for a hobby) got into contact with some DJ's who are (afaik) professional (with a record deal and all) and I had a closer listen to the music they made, I decided to give it a try myself. 

How that preset works: well, you select it and that's it LOL. Seriously, I would indeed have to make a few screenshots to show the inner workings: I'll see if I can do that this week! Stay tuned.

I have to say, this was not what I was expecting. It's a pleasant surprise and reminds me of the diversity within the EDM world. Very well done. I'm sure others have already mention this, but since you have komplete, Absynth is great for the kinds of textures used in this sub-genre. Rapture will also be of great use as well. You are off to a great start.

It has been a while since we have seen you down here. Great tune. As I well know that you are capable of a stellar vocal performance if you so choose, I fully understand the desire to do a pure instrumental. Excellent work mon ami.

@dubdisciple: thanks for the compliments. And yes, Absynth is on my list of software to instal asap. 


@foxwolfen: long time no see indeed, mon ami! It's been a while although I have been making music but not for myself, so there wasn't much to show here. Thanks for the kind words! Who knows, maybe I will sample my own voice one day in a tune like this.  I am not that much into samples, just like I don't like to use existing audio loops etc., so if I am ever going to add audio to dance tune, it will be my own audio.  But not having to write lyrics and having to do 'a stellar vocal performance'  (and all the editing afterwards, haha!!!) is quite relaxing, I have to say...!

Thanks for the compliments, James!

Concerning the licking noise LOL!!! I have no clue what it really is, but it's a sound from Battery and to ME it sounded like a camera shutter sound (hence the title of the tune). I did add another 'plopping' sound to it, though, which may make it sound all different (so in fact that sound is two sounds). I have to say though I really like your description!!!
