Right then, Martian Arts is my new solo project and have only had one release on Neurobiotic, that was released two months ago.
Its been a busy 2 months remixing tracks with Jordan (the other half of disco hooligans) but I've managed to squeeze in a tune with another old friend John (who is a massive Dick Trevor fan) that is on a different style than the disco hooligans output.
A track that is abundant with Roland SH-101 and Virus Polar TI sounds.
Here's a rough mix of the so far unsigned track.

as always, strong production with your typical metallic timbre to the overall synth work. driving and psychedelic like oldschool stuff with a new sound finish to it.. especially the 303 alike synth makes me groove more acid please!
i must confess though, i hope you will make a more "morning" orientated project some day! i really like your work best as soon as it goes into more melodic and groovy "logic bombish" realms, like from their "unlimited" aera.

Thanks for kind words chaps. Although I do feel the disco hooligans project has quite a few of morning tracks.
Anyhow, nice too see you like this kind of music as well, as I dig it a lot.

Cheers. Did the remix in 7 hours and the mix is very shabby, needs some extra work....ears do get tired after a few hours.
Will do some extra work on the first version as well.

How much time do u guys spend on percussion? from 1.30 'till the break that percussive line is pure blissful agressive funkiness , and what reverb do u use? u have a very distinctive metalic sound, does it come from the reverb?

We don't spend a lot time on percussion just open a few sampler instruments and find some good loops, do some basic chop/rearrange tasks and that's pretty much it. The metalic timbre is a combination of using ring modulation in the patches I build and using flangers. I use Space Designer on everything, not big on the CPU and sounds great, especially for a native reverb. I sometimes use the Sonnox reverb but not often.
probably more then the DH project but that's preferences 
more acid please!
