youre really showing off your mixing/engineering skills on this track. it sounds ridiculously crispy clean in the phones.
really professional work.

well done!

You should give yourself a "hearty" handshake and a firm pat on the back for these drums the hats really bring it to life.

only suggestion I would have to make is I feel it needs a hooky bass line to compliment the main synth,

But maybe for this Genre its not needed, :)

thanks for the listen and comment, drums are my least favourite part, always struggle with them so its nice to know ppl like em, hooky bass lines are even harder LOL.

LOVE the vocal snipping in with the intro. kinda has the 'funky house' element in places. i like :)

There is two things that makes me hooked on a specific tune, and the first one is the combination of unusual chords and still make it "work" in the end, the second is playfullness with the beat itself. Just because it says 1/4:th of a note doesnt prevent it from being a delayed 1/5:th note so 2 speak. Meaning that you put something "out of sync" and are capable of making that work as well.. This tune has both of those criterias witch makes it extremly enjoyable to listen too.

Awesome work.. ///Dec

Yeh it sounds real good on the studio monitors. This is a killer song just killer. O.K I'm partial to this genre but objectivly the song is constructed perfectly, every transition flows to the next. You never loose the groove yet put in just the right amount of spice (synth vocal) sometimes I get blown away by what people post here. This is one of them. will I be able to download this at some point soon as I'd like to include mit in a compelation of looperman artists just for my personal use. Props Foxy!

hi edz? you can get a download above or message me if not,
thanks for taking the time to listen and review twice :)
i`m glad you liked it, i was uncertain about the structure, at the time i think its right, but then the doubts creep in so i`m pleased you approve.i too am amazed at the quality of some of the stuff on here, but must give credit to JJ for uploading some fantastic pellas,this tune would never have happened if she didn`t. :)

OH WOW What a sweet peice of electronic funk. Great song structure takes you through the song effortlessly and just keeps your head bopping along. i only listened through my computer speakers I'll listen through the studio monitors and give you more feedback but my first impressions
WOW!

This has a pretty good synth/bass line - it carries the song thru the murky parts, I really dig the vocals when they are spacey but then when they go hollowing in the second section it kinda freaks me out lol

good sound over all and the are only a couple parts that aren't as 'keep ya moving forward' as they could be in my mind.. keep up the work, nothing is bad, it's allll good !

thanks for your honesty :).i can guess the bits you mean, as usual i think i`ve done as well as i can on a tune, then 2 weeks and a few more listens later i wish i`d done most of it differently, but... maybe the next one will be different lol.

When I listen to this I want to be playing a computer game - something futuristic and platform like :P

The production on this is great. I've listened to it on headphones and actually checked behind me once or twice cos I thought a door was opening haha!

Loads of fun, great tune man :)

really funky electronic feel. when it goes into the break it sounds almost Caribbean... like the drum arrangement. then goes into those airy pad type sounds.
it all sounds awesome.
if i can think any criticism its the vocal... sounds a bit uhhmm... scratchy. dunno if that came with the 'pella but could sound a bit fuller.
Soletik
Soletik replied 21st Oct 2012 - 14 years ago
thanks, any issues with the vocals are probably my fault, added some fx to distinguish the loops
thanks for your honesty, thats the reason its up here :)

I'm an old guy, old enough to remember all of the great dance tunes in the 70's and this one has almost an Earth, Wind and Fire vibe to it. I absolutely loved everything about it.

This is a great blend of old and new, a fusion of two different eras (not sure that was your intent, but that's the feeling I get from it). I could hear this one playing on the radio back in 1976, or this morning :)

Well done.

Well this is way out of my musical realms but I did like the trip. A lot of little neat sounds going on here and that I understand makes all the difference. Really catches you and with that vocal makes everything bounce just right. Ha, I really thought that breakdown around the 3 minute mark was very nice! Little space trip.

All in all it sounds well rounded and interesting throughout the whole piece. I felt like this was a commercial and I got hooked in :) Keep up the interesting music nufoxx. Nice mixing ideas. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the nu experience. Have a good 1, Peace.

Soletik replied 15th Oct 2012 - 14 years ago
thanks, gotta admit the vocal stabs made a massive difference to how i felt about the track and the direction i took it in, as for the breakdown, i nearly kept it to develop on its own :) but i like to tie projects up neatly and start with a clean slate so to speak! once again thanks for taking the time, cheers
