Description : A collaboration with sax man Luke Townsend from Cape Town. Its a track from an album we completed last year called 'The Trip', featuring some beats & samples from local electronic dude Captain Asthma. Has an Eastern Feel with a very warbly bass sound. Was put together using Acid Pro and finished off using CuBase. The bass and horns were live (some looping), the rest is loops. The album was self-released - we did a limited pressing of 200 copies. Available in SA!

If you have time take a listen and give DanWilson some feedback.
When the sax came in I was blown away. That along with the Eastern feel and that trippy drum beats all seemed to work together nicely. Just an awesome musical journey!! Hope to hear some more new tunes soon! Fav and dl!
To me this has an Eastern feel, but one that's been filtered through East Africa on its way south. Though it's got a very Western, electronic sensibility to the rhythm, there's definitely other influences coming from the foundation. Especially the marimba or xylophone that slides in and out of it. Personally, I think it makes this even better as a track. I really like how the sax and wicked bass turn it into its own unique piece - very original without being 'weird.' Nice one, I have to check out more of your work.
Thanks. We'll be posting other tracks from the album (is something that doesn't get released an 'album' ?) on the site. I sent your comments through to Luke in Cape Town - its a cool place by the way.
Thanks brother. I have to confess that it took a shedload of time to put together, and a trip to a recording studio, which costs bucks of course. Its sometimes worth it though, just to hear a tune of yours in a different location.
very nice track
the sax and change kind of came from left feild but i mean that in a good way.
i can tell from you uploaded sampled that your a very skilled bass player and from this track your very skilled producer too
welcome to the site ..this is actually very refreshing music :)

Description : Feel free to check out the video on YT as well (Alan McLaren Project - Upside Down) of this 6min journey from electronic to rock with some psychedelic moments...
This is my latest, but also one of my earliest tracks.... any feedback is more than welcome, thanks :)
Description : This is a strictly groove track where the elements of ambient meets electronic funk and Hip Hop. I play all instruments on the track excluding guitar solo which was performed by my friend Art Miller.
Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.
Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.
Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.

Description : Far out mid-tempo fat beat deep chillout grooves with Eastern/Arabic and slightly menacing vibes, huge delayed synth bass and a great palette of psychedelic layered and intricate sounds (mostly synths) and a stirring, epic feel. Even has guitar solo section reminiscent of some 80s power rock which is then followed by a brief synth harp solo. I began making it straight after staying round the flat of the flute player from the legendary Ozric Tentacles - easily the greatest ever space rock band. I made this in about 2001 and still think it might be my best track (and it's nice and short, for a change). My production skills were much weaker in those days (no EQ, compression or mastering used here) but, somehow, this one turned out pretty much just right. Feel free to disagree. Now sit back and get ready to trip extremely far out. If you manage to return, let me know how that trip was...
Description : Got some spare time finally...just started on some random ideas basically (lets say kygo meets alan walker). A blend of dubstep,edm,downbeat,tropical etc.
It's still a work in progress, so i would appreciate your honest inputs. Thanks to all those whose loops I have used in here, sorry I don't have time to search them out.
Edit-added some more filthy sounds from my previous tracks and gave it some ending. Advice will be helpful.
