Still trying to figure out these synths man! It's hard!!! I'm not too sure about part three so comments are encouraged.

Digging this one! Had half a fat dragon bowl left so it's a good time to settle into one of your mixes. The break around 1:20 is quite effective, despite it's simlicity... minimal is king. I'd move to this "house" if it was in the cheap hood. Second part definitely has a cool bass groove! I like the mixing on this section - nice wide high frequencies, and a solid center. Those vocals fit in nicely as well. Enjoying the third part as well! It's just got a bit more going on, and I know how that's hard to manage, but it sounds nice to me. Had fun hearing the whole mix! Have a great day!

Thanks, I'm just into the idea of doing little mixes at the moment because A, i'm not giving away full tracks and B, i've run out of track space on my profile so i might as well try and squeeze in as much tunage as possible.
Thanks for dropping in and giving it a listen.
Your thoughts are appreciated.

Hey mate :)

First thing I've heard from you in a while!

Loving the sound of these and the mix sounds pretty much spot on. Still trying to figure out why you've uploaded this as a 10 minute track when all of those different parts could stand as tracks on their own??

Either way great job man!

Yeah i was out of action for ages so i'm just trying to get back into the swing of things. I've been doing these minimixes because i don't want to give away full tracks anymore (too many indian robots downloading my stuff) Besides, it's just fun anyway.
Glad you could drop by for a listen.

I like how the house gradually changes from "older" form to the "newer" form of house. You did it in a way that was simple and nice.

The first part sounds like a simple, classic style house track, with its old school kicks and crashes.

Part two has nice vocals, which somewhat reminds me of pop and house together, closer to the modern era in music. Great flow in that one.

Part three has a more complex feel to it. It didn't catch my attention as the first two did, but it's still impressive to hear how it came out. Nevertheless, cheers!

Well, that was different! It's funky as hell, and I found the ''Old is cool'' vocal pretty funny actually, don't ask me why ^^ Enjoyed the experimenting trip! Keep it up.

first of all what a cool name ...
it also reminds me this article >>
http://monetaryrealism.com/steve-waldmans-latest-post-a-series-of-riffs/
despite obviously there's no relevancy ...anyway..
regarding part 3 I generally enjoyed the variation which
U had designed to happen by selecting that interval of synth.
...was a surprise...especiallY when then the girl begun to sing ...I think when that interval synth comes into music , it's interval toward 3 non key membranophonic line is sensible & U can easily change the pitch of third membranophonic line & Atune with the varation and in fact the scale of that synth interval ..
also something like a altrasion in main melody , or a considered stop , or a syncope too could be another test for a more considered movemenT ..
buT to be honesT this is really god & cool & energizer enough right now too ..& U know I know nothing about such genres...
vocal part was remarkable...& U had hit the targeT by designing a surprise in which vocal was added to us when we didn't guess ...many thnx for sharing FR ....
I downloaded it & will enjoy listening to this later more too ..___Behnam

I've never heard of Steve Waldman so yeah the title is just a coincidence. Glad you enjoyed this little three piece medley and i'm also glad i suprized you with the vocal. It took me a while to get to the end of this track as creativity doesn't seem to be flowing to well since i stopped smoking weed. I'm hoping things will improve in time when i finally get my head around the synths i just bought.
Cheers for tuning in.

Love the drums on this one throughout and a nice bass line in the middle. In each section they are all great to listen to however they dont seem to have a natural link when they fade into each other other than being like a sample track of different works? All nicely mixed, balanced and clean. Nice use of vocals. Is there a Poizone synth in there? Overall a great listening experience!
FreeRadical
FreeRadical replied 14th Jun 2014 - 12 years ago
Yeah, the idea was to make it like a mini DJ mix so it was just a case of fade one out and bring another in. I did use the poizone synth for the ARP in track 2 so well spotted. I'm new to VST's so i'm still learning what they can do (or struggling to learn i should say)
Thanks for dropping in and commenting on the track.

Complex track. Love all that you did here. Can't give you technical genre help cuz I know nothing of electronic music but the sounds, loops, samples and everything else gelled seamlessly. Felt like this track went on for days, lol, mean that in a good way. Long interesting tracks are long and interesting. Th emix and overall sound sound of the track is the first thing I noticed, great quality.

Well done man!

Excellent fades here, if you could pull that off on a pair of decks i would be most impressed!!! Tracks 2 & 3 are stand out tracks here mate, for me anyway. Excellent work, as ever!

Track 3? I thought that one was pretty pony and trap (still trying to get my head around the synths i bought and it aint easy)

Really liking how you started this one out! The vocal sample used in the beginning was a very nice choice. You have a gift for making club music. The second song just came on and I think I like this one better than the first one. That bass is great and the vocals you used is sweet.....

The third one just came on and I like where its going. I don't know why you don't like it, sounds pretty sweet to me. The vocals on the third one could be better though, but I like the beat you've created. I really like the sounds you brought in around 8:48, great work on that. Overall I like this mix, you did a great job on keeping me entertained. This mix would fit perfectly in any club setting. Going to fav this one! Thanks for the listen and take care!

This one has a nice bounce to it, solid groove and mix...
Bass is subtle enough to make it real, some sweet flavours
with the vocal adds...
Moves like it's got someplace to go, keep up the good work....

Peace...TG.

Part one sounds cool Part two is Superb the Bass and Vocals around 3:45 make me wanna fly,:)Part three sounds good, maybe you could try to figure a 2nd bassline at part 3, a line like part 2, so you have more Bass on it:)(only an idea)
Good Work Bro*

FreeRadical replied 11th Jun 2014 - 12 years ago
I agree, the bass is a bit lacking in part three. It's almost there but i need to alter the last riff that comes in.
Anyway, cheers for stopping by and checking it out.

Good sound as usual. U had me from the start. You could of expanded the 1st part the whole way for my liking :) Up my alley.

I was singing 'Pump up the jam, pump it up
While your feet are stompin'
And the jam is pumpin'
Look at here the crowd is jumpin' over the 1st part and it fit perfect...hell yeah!

Intro sounds pretty cool, and become even better when that old school drum beat comes. 3rd part is OK, sounds wicked with that liquid acid bass. Overall, good work done here!

Description : Draft from my old defunct laptop. Lost some plugins and not sure I'll come back to it. The wee vocal sections were never added to and the mix probably needed more work too. But thought I'd post it for a bit anyway, if people like it maybe try to finish it. Pseudoble played some synth. Music made by humans.
