Thanks for your comment

Hi,

I think I posted the reply for you on someone else’s comment! That is one of the dangers of mixing the internet and rum.

I was saying that I never claimed to write dub, only that my music was influenced by it. I couldn’t list all of my influences, there’s so many. And it’s not just musical influences which shape your music. Dub music has been a constant in my life though, I have listened to it since I can remember. My parents were playing me King Tubby and Rico when I was a toddler.

One of the tunes I did which was quite dubby was my remix of a Gotan Project tune. Here’s the link –

Have a listen if you can. I’d love some feedback if you’re able to give some.

Thanks for your comment though man

Yeah i do hear some dub influences but as you said it’s not dub. I read the bio and you just say those are your influences which is good. I’m just starting off producing myself, i’m more of an alternative rock and pop type producer, but in the future definitely will experiment with dub, r&b, and hip hop. Why limit yourself right? lol a good producer should be able to produce all genres of music, and i’ll strive to do that. The beats sound great man..good luck with your career!

Chained To Fate sounds really good, I’ll also check out your soundcloud page to listen to more. Cheers!

Thanks for your support mate!

Thanks for your support!

I’m not much of a dub or dance type person but the beats are nice still. If I was really into these beats I’d probably love it lol but yeh dis shit is decent

I don’t know if I can post more (I’ll try and find out) but in the meantime why don’t you go to http://www.soundcloud.com/micky_stirrups

There’s 19 tracks up there, all bass-heavy and authentic Micky Stirrups productions!

Shout out to all my sedated listeners!

Thanks D-Bo! Bass heavy reggae tracks influence my sound a LOT. I ain’t trying to recreate that sound or write reggae music but the “attitude” of the bass and how it dominates the song is definitely something that I admire

Check out the rest of my tracks at http://www.soundcloud.com/micky_stirrups – if you’re after bassy tracks listen to Flashback. I’m especially proud of the sub frequencies on that one. It recently got featured on http://www.dubsteppers.org and is going to be on a mix tape released by http://www.unsignedhypeuk.co.uk on the 1st of March 2012.

Yeah you have to register on soundcloud to leave a comment on there, you can’t leave anonymous ones. You can leave a comment here though, which tunes did you listen to? What did you think of them?

cool bruh

nice work on dem beats boss…sounds unique!

I like it, the mixture of sounds and baselines.

Thanks Sam! You said in an earlier comment you were a producer – is there anywhere I can go and listen to your music?

Thanks Dwayne. I haven’t done an LP, I am unsigned at the minute. On my soundcloud page I have 19 songs and I am in talks with a couple of labels over three of them but there has been nothing concrete yet.

As for being on the radio – no not yet. I have had a song played on the Secret Archives of the Vatican podcast – you can download the podcast from here

I’m always looking for new ways to get my music heard by as many people as possible, so if you think you can help drop me an email.

I like silly names. I had a list to choose from. The other names on the list included Sebastian Bastian, Malcolm Mirrorcrotch, Gerald Dogdick and Franky Beesknees, amongst others. I know it is immature but it makes me laugh.

Groovyyyyy

Come check out Our Page Micky!

I will do, have a look at my soundcloud page if you have time

So how long have you been producing? Is this sort of just a hobby for you or you plan for it to be a career. I’m trying to get into producing but I’m in a bit of financial situation don’t have the money man! But love creating and listening to others. Once I get my shit together definitely gonna hard making beats.

I’ve been messing around with music for years. I’ve always been an avid listener but I first started with a wave editor on my dad’s computer in my early teens. When I was 15 I saved up for Fruity Loops and started messing around on that. As I’ve got older the amount of musical equipment I have has a direct relationship to how much dosh I’ve got. I used to have turntables, monitors, a mixing desk, keyboards, samplers and all sorts. At the minute I’m operating on a pc with ableton on it and a set of headphones but I find that I can get just as good results out of that now. I don’t think it matters too much what equipment you have – if you’re gonna make music you’ll make music on whatever you’ve got.

thank you man
