MIDNIGHT RUNNER - RenzWilde

I like this. I like the minimalist thing. I think it takes a little more effort to make so little sound so good for such a duration.

Anyone can play tetris with sounds and cram a bunch of things in to fill all of the spaces ever, and call it a good tune. Well, okay, not anyone, but you know what I mean.

Speaking from my own personal experiences, I start out making something minimal and simple, and by the time I'm done, it's full of crash cymbals, double kicks, risers, impacts and all kinds of other things.

So, I totally dig what you've done here. I know it's not easy to apply the whole "less is more" concept in music.

Excellent work, man!
Take care.

Pretty cool effort here! It's style is definitely not my usual listening preference, but I can here the creativity and focus within. I like the sound quality and frequency range very much. I guess, like StaticNomad, I enjoy more variation in songs I listen to... though I would admit to being into a different kind of variation from SN. Towards the end it got more exciting for me, so that's a good thing. I like to hear you trying some different things, and I will definitely keep listening!

This track has a nice vibe. Reminds me of early Erasure and Depeche Mode mixed. Great job!!!

Nice track man,good work!

Great beat

What an excellent groove, its a total raver track, I luv it.

The vocals give it this real sic creepy vibe. The synth work is superb. I'd bang this track in my ride any day of the week.

Nice work. FT

This track is driven with forward momentum and energy.
Love the phasing type of effects at 1.04.
You bring me back to my early days of collecting synthesizer music, on cassettes of course.

I recognize the voice - that's Harrison Ford if I'm correct.
The 'runner' part of your title kinda gives it away too.
Good job brother Renzy.
Be strong! - B

Good track, very terminator themed. Didn't recognize the vocals, but I guess many others have. Put to good use though! My kind of track. Well done.

Zee.

Really sweet minimal Renz. Yeah you pretty much nailed the Moroder sound. Very retro disco. I think StaticNomad is right on the spoken audio. Harrison Ford in "Blade Runner" using some kind of machine to enhance a picture for uncover clues on a suspect. I liked the movie and thought Rutger Howards performance was awesome.

I feel some Moroder, some Vince Clarke, Some Martin Gore and some Kraftwerk with this one. I love this type of Work.

Nice industrial piece...sounds a bit kraftwerkish...:)
I particilary like the production. Good job !!

Compliments_____Orlando

hi again again,
ha! my kraftwerk-best-of piece would be definitely 'the model' which is a kind of a 'song' too and the one that somehow defines the style. anyway Im enjoying much that particular kind of a minimal-industrial groove present as well in your recording. Nice work on this one and simply keep it up!
Alex

im digging this tune. nice work

I see guys below said most things I think about this track. This is really cool old school disco/dance tune, minimal but it really has some special atmosphere. Keep up the good work!

this would feature well in a car racing game....
the main theme song
its so awesome

Hello again. I’m not exactly sure why you’re so surprised I listened to your track or liked it. Maybe you’re reading something into my musical tastes based on some track reviews you’ve read.

However, you’re sort of on the right lines – I don’t like boring, predictable, generic dance music and also often prefer things not to be minimalist but have quite a lot going on (a bit like in most of my tracks).

I’ve listened to loads of dance music over the years and do make a lot of electronic stuff. See my recent tracks Reckful, That Magical Place, 1.21 Gigawatts and P For Pneumatic for lots of use of arps.

“Trust me, there is a ton of music out there that I dont like either.”

I totally agree – most stuff bores me. There’s loads I respect and appreciate that I also find lacking any real spark or character to set it apart from the rest. I think making half-decent music (especially electronic) isn’t really that hard. But making really memorable and moving music can be very hard. Or sometimes it just seems to flow out very easily!

Anyway, your track is a good one and will be greatly enjoyed by people more into minimal dance music as it’s tightly produced and easy to move to.

Good luck with your musical experiments.

reminds me of something youd hear on a puzzle game or in the showroom on gran turismo

good steady beat, everyone likes retro right ? i mean we grew up on it man. the synths work good together, nice & dark too.. yummmmy.

Nice sort of industrial vibe... definitely like how the song has the loop but never gets boring. Definitely going in my faves!

Keep up the great work!

-R.P.S

I get the chase feeling here :D It's like i'm in a spacecraft chasing down my bounty. Those darn crites!

hi again, just wanted to add something more because this is a great tune. I really like minimal tracks in a way and you did it very well eventhough there's not so many elements in here... But everything sounds balanced and right in place! I mentioned Kraftwerk because this is definitely a bit old-styled 'robotic' music. Never heard about the band from the decription but again the song reminds me of some 80's german electronic. I enjoyed the stylish synth sounds you're using here and very interesting sampled vocals and industrial noises. The reso/cutoff filtering work on the loop makes it sounds very classic and retro indeed. Very nice work on this one! Congratulations. Alex

Greetings. I liked this very early on as it's a classic sort of synth arp with a tight beat and all well produced. Definitely like Moroder.

0:33 synth fill I like.

You are right about it being minimal. However, it's really too minimal for me so I guess I need more variation and action and variety of sounds.

However, loads of people will enjoy this in a club as it has a cool, tight vibe. Easy to move to.

That is Harrison Ford's voice. From the title I guess it must be from Blade Runner. I'm a big Ford fan (well, back when he used to only appear in good films, which he no longer does) though I don't like Blade Runner. I can't say these very minimal vocal snippets help the track much and it's hard to work out what he's saying.

Anyway, good stuff though I need more variety and distinctive parts to set this apart from various other stuff I've heard that sounds quite similar. Additional elements could make it quite memorable but right now it's just solid and decent.

Good work anyway...

hi, really nice production. very stylish and a bit old-fashioned. a groove type reminds me a little of Kraftwerk.
good work on this one - I enjoyed it! Alex

Story of my life! Half Right! :)

I really liked this track! Minimal and retro. Just the way I like it! :) You introduced little touches of variation just frequently enough to keep up my interest throughout, without detracting from the feel of the track from the repeated synth bass line.

I think the vocal is Harrison Ford in "Clear and Present Danger". He's looking at satellite imagery of a terrorist training camp in North Africa someplace. Am I right? Do I win something if I am? :)

Hey friend

Nice intro, sets the scene for the rest of the track, could see this in a bond type film or car chase theme, sounding great on laptop, which has decent speakers, a good sign that track is mixed and levels are good, no idea what the vocals are but you have used them very well in the mix, track has a very nice drive with the beat and bass lines...very enjoyable listen mate...Fav...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...PS good to drop first review lol...
