Hey guys, here is another quick dance/house track created for fun. I wanted to make something upbeat and a little different from my regular stuff, so I came up with this. As usual, tell me what you think and if you have any ideas to make this better or just want to collab, leave a message below. Thanks for checking me out and have a great day!

I'm just beginning to get back into house after going through a phase of not getting into it, and I'm glad that's the case because there's some great songs out there! This is one of them! It really does put me in mind of your signature sound, but is also a little refreshed in some way. Nice and bouncy, just like I like it! I like the momentum! You did an awesome job here! Fave!

Thanks my friend! I'm happy you enjoyed this one. House music is probably one of my favorite genres, as it just makes you want to continually node your head. Its really cool that you're getting back into it, I don't think you'll regret that one. Thanks for the kind words and have a great day!

Hi G,

Great sound and a well mixed track, this is how I like house music, with a dancey feel!! nice intro, progression is good and it is never repetitive!! Vocals may add, but only used sparingly. Going to be a play on my loop indie house show this Sunday if ok. Good Stuff.

Best wishes,

Mark/Larry!

Hey Mark!

Thanks for the kind words! I'm happy you enjoyed this little tune. I agree vocals could help but it stands pretty well on its own. You are more than welcome to play this on your show.

Thanks for stopping by and take care!

Not my normal genre to listen to, but I have to say this really was an enjoyable listen. Thoughtful melody line, great chord progression and a sterling mix. I can't offer any kind of suggestions for improvement, but a "Warning, this track is on 11" would have helped me keep the paintings on the wall, hahaha. What the heck, that wall needed painting anyway :) Well done brother, really well done.

Wow, That just put a big smile on my face! I love the thought of people all around the world getting to enjoy my work. It's people like you, who continue to motivate me to keep on creating music. I agree with you, that it is a very small world and that is a wonderful thing! We all get to enjoy the work of others from all around the world, regardless of what country, city or state they live in. Sharing our creativity through music and getting a chance to express ourselves at the same time, is what music really is about.

Thank you for making my day, and letting me know just how far my songs have traveled!

Cool track, nice sounds and everything mixed well ;) I almost died at 0:15 cause I wasn't looking at volume graph LOL. That's only thing that's kinda bad, but nevermind, still nice track ;)

Great job on this, the piano get's a little bit washed out but I like how the song is made and is indeed upbeat like in the description ;p

Maybe we can do a colab some time ;) I will hit you up when I am ready for that ;p

Cool track, catchy chord progressions and nice layering of the instruments. This would certainly work at any club, I think it would get people up and dancing.

Well done!

Oh I LOVE this!!
Awesome beat and a really good melody, effective yet quite simple. This would work perfectly on the dancefloor.

All it could need would be some cool uplifting vocals - should be easy to find when the istrumental is this good. Other than that - a perfect dance track!

Thanks for the download /SJ =)

Modnex replied 4th Jun 2014 - 12 years ago
Thanks Seriously! The dance feel was what I was going for when making this one. I love the thought of making people want to dance and happy that's the feeling you got from this.

I couldn't agree with you more that this needs vocals. Hopefully I can find a talented person to participate. Thanks for the kind words and for stopping by! Have a good one!
