VV17CHOU7 organizer Vitia Eroshenko commenting on the article:

> hi! my name is Vitia, im doing VV17CHOU7 show. bigbig thank u 4 this text and ur interest 2 what we doing. but some of information u gave makes me laugh so much. at first, we got no jokes bout HIV virus at all. HIV in russian will be ВИЧ, it pronounce like WITCH. so, some kids makes a jokes on this game of words, and call themselves WITCH-infected, 2 show they love witchhouse-music. that's the only way of using this term here, and it have nothing about HIV, only it's name. 1 russian magazine - FurFur was writing about this nickname 4 wh-music fans few month ago, the text was real shit, and i got a feeling that u just translate some part of it. another thing is that we never was fans of Salem and White Ring and other guyz. the reason why wh is so popular in here, is that we got a huge scene, and lots off brilliant artists. it seems like we love dark and depressive things in russia, its a part of mentality, that's why many musicians start 2 make this kind of music when it appears. on our show we got no djs and nobody playing someone's else music, all the musicians from the show playing theyr own music and making original performance. so that's why our show is so popular. people comes 2 see artists they love. our mane artists r: Радость Моя, Summer Of Haze, CROSSPARTY, IC3PEAK, HKG Knights, King Plague, Suicidewave, Mugl and many others, u can find them on soundcloud and find out that they r worldwide popular. one more last thing is about the name of the show. VV17CHOU7 doesn't mean WitchHouse, it means WITCHOUT. we put a meaning in it like "tonight is the night when witches goes out", or something like that. anyway, thanks a lot, it was a nice surprise 2 find out that VICE knows bout us. <\3

The story about their concert tour where I found a link to this video (in Russian):

It's in the title.

The title is "east.1999" and the song is "East 1999" by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. This is basically a remix to it.

Most of it sounds closer to /r/outrun than /r/witchhouse, if I was pressed for a definition. However, I don't think you should be trying to conform into a particular box, it comes across as a little "try-hard". Purists of any genre will kick you down in half a second. Rather, do what you enjoy first and let the critics categorize you later.

If you're looking for exposure, I don't think radio is the way to go. YouTube, maybe. Get in contact with N¡gh†m∆res ∆nd 8Ø8s, they do guest features frequently. I'd also consider putting one or two of your tracks on Soundcloud/Bandcamp/etc under a Creative Commons licence, which can help with exposure on mediums that you haven't even thought of yet.

Mostly, I'd go into this venture with the mindset that you're doing this for fun, not for success. In the dubiously-attributed words of Banksy:
>Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don't go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit.

Best of luck.

I use Audiotool to write it. I first make a synth bassline using a heiseinberg then distort it with a filter, then I make a drum track using 2 kicks one will run through a compressor to side chain the synth so it breathes placing each kick on 1,5,9,13 for a house sound or 1,7,13 for a trap beat with a machiniste, then I find a bell sample or chorus sample and run it through a decay filter so it reverberates and sounds distant, then I create a hat pattern to run under the kicks in time with the sample, then I make sure everything syncs together, To give it a deeper sound I'll make a second bassline much heavier and more distorted to run beneath the first one to create a sound almost like a rave hoover synth, then its about timing everything out, I bring the sample up first and loop it then gradually fade in the decay so it eases in, then I bring in the synths gradually fading in under the sample and then I bring in the hats and then eventually the kick comes in but I leave everything untouched for a few measures until I bring in the side chain, then add a section for the breakdown with a horror movie sample then bring the synth bassline back up under it and the kick behind it, then I let it all breathe with the side chain, Then once it's long enough I fade out the kicks and bassline so the sample is all you hear then fade that out as well and it's done.

Great feedback is given @ /r/witchhouse.

Rejoice, you are already here.

EDIT: I think you mean LMMS and not XMMS, which is not a DAW.

I happen to use the former.

I did not even know that grave wave was a thing. According to a post in VK

>A term used to describe the recent musical upswing of all things dark and deathly. Encompasses witch house, post punk, neofolk, EBM, death rock, goth, electro, 80s revivalists, batcave purists, et al. Frequently accompanied by a strong graphic aesthetic: symbols, videos, visual and performance art.

One of the best places to start for basically anything

No, you weren't mean at all, you were nice! The thought of you being mean never even crossed my mind!

Keep trying with your music, as long as you enjoy it, it doesn't matter how good you are now, you'll get better with practice, and you'll notice the difference in a year or two.

Thanks a lot for the compliments!

I'm currently slowly learning LMMS (an open source free DAW similar to FL Studio, so I can have all the features without having to pay or pirate). When I learn how to use it well enough, I'm going to make an Ep and post it on an official bandcamp/soundcloud, as well as some of the songs you heard on that list.
