Derek Roberts/NME Kik Artist Thread

[usamablackbelt]

Hey guys!

I'm a DJ/Producer from Atlanta, GA, and I just wanted to start posting some of my recent work online. I've been growing up in the club/rave scene, and even have my own radio show that I spin on occasionally. As such, most of the music I write is more towards club-length styled tracks, and are actually pretty varied. Here in Atlanta, Deep House and Tech House are pretty big, so I've made a few of those tracks, but I mainly focus on UK Hardcore, Trance, Prog House, Hardstyle, and Hard Trance. I dabble in a little of everything, but those are my big ones. That being said, I'd love to get a listen from you guys! My SoundCloud page also has my DJ sets on there, so feel more than welcome to listen! They're all spun live, so enjoy!

This is my SoundCloud page: usamablackbelt - Tracks - SoundCloud

I should point out that SoundCloud only allows 10 tracks, and that my Facebook page is more frequently updated. I have a LOT of my tracks on the Facebook page.

Thanks for listening!

It'd be cool if you could point out some songs you like.
Lol realization i know that loop i should say those loops. The anthem or w/e is pretty weak imo. Song isn't really "full". Sounds very compressed/limited too.

[usamablackbelt]

Yeah, Realization is pretty old.

Here's some songs you should listen to then:
Violins of Torment
Qymnoplebie No1
So Deep(-ly Felt Mix)
PARANOiA (Machinae Remix)
Blessing Amazon
Hardstyle Lyfe
I Am An _____
Oh, Tell Me Why
Relax [Take It Easy]
To Say Goodbye
Echoes of Disdain
The Song That Never Was (D.Re-Interpretation Mix)
Frustration
DEP021
Saturday Night
Streetlights and Starshine
Late Night Dizzy

There's some others you could listen to, but those I listed above I consider some of my best work. Also, remember these are more club based tracks, so the focus isn't always on the melody.

Violins of torment, nexus?

[usamablackbelt]

For the violin, yes. I didn't have orchestral at the time.
