Simple FM Donk

[ZubairAliSahil]

I can only suggest you either sample the "donks" from the 90s anthem "Passion" by Gat Dacor (my favourite "donks"!) or you try almost any FM synth, they almost all have a "donk"-like preset somewhere, it's a very standard FM sound. I'd be very surprised if there's not a very similar preset in either Toxic 1 or 2 already.

Talking about that mp3 for a moment, it actually sounds very, very 90s in general with it's hoover synths, house "donks", 909 drums and cheesy "dirty girl" samples. All staple stuff from the early 90s! In fact more than anything it reminds me of old Gabba stuff like "sperminator" (except much slower and the kicks are way too girly!) and the filthy porn sampling stuff that was pouring out of Rotterdam and Amsterdam at the time.

Is that track a fair representation of what "scouse house" sounds like? I'd heard the term before but never really heard an example. I can't say I'm much of a fan of the sound (based on that example) but it's always interesting to find out about these genres.
