Hey man

Sorry don't know this genre at all so no feedback genre wise, one thing I do like is the nice synths and effects you have used in this one, nice clarity of the mix, sounding nice in the headset, nice steady beat and change ups, stand out for me mainly is the strings and synths, love them mate...Very enjoyable listen through the headset...Fav'd...peace n respect matey...mosaic...

Yo.

I dislike most things described as 'trap' but I like this. Probably because it's more intelligent and psychedelic than most trap.

Intro long tones remind me a little of Eastern sounds, and especially around 0:09 with those extra notes.

0:24 fat warm simple low bass and distinctive lead synth.

0:54 nice little break. Then the next section is more melodic and chilled. This is good stuff.

1:24 cool little sample that continues into the new section.

1:55 here's your new sample for the next section fading in and it's good. Some nice string work. I like this arrangement structure of bringing in the new samples for the next section when you have a little break.

3:04 return to earlier crazy high lead for the next two sections.

End was too abrupt but I think you said before that you like that kind of ending.

Congratulations and good luck with this.

Still some aspects to take care of, including the end, seems cut, not a true ending. This song was done to fast to easy, it all came together so fast, I still have to experiment more, get some little details right, maybe unify the drums better.

This is not my favorite song of mine, I'm also not a fan of tipical trap but been listening to some very good stuff from time to time, non mainstream trap.

Thanks for super review as always man.
Peace

I always know a beat is dope when I first hear it and then uncontrollably start flowing. RESPECT for sharing this dope beat.

My first take was on the sections that u have going on in there which i totally dig cuz most people miss that you dont what the same thing playing over and over and it might be a simple as a little sound that u dont notice to make things interest.Good Work
kindly check out my tracks too

Darknives replied 13th Jul 2016 - 10 years ago
Yeah man, glad you understand, this song is a little on the mainstream style but yeah, hate that standard verse-chorus-verse-chorus thing. Prefer progression.
Will take some time to listen to your tracks man :)

By Intensify, I Mean If You're Playing It Play With Force. And If You're Building It On A Computer Increase The Velocity And Mix The Sounds A Bit To Make Have Real Aggressive, Trap Feeling. You Don't Want Your Track Sounding Soft In Any Way For Trap Music. Listen To Some Young Jeezy, Future, Ace Hood And You'll See What I Mean.

Darknives replied 13th Jul 2016 - 10 years ago
So that's what you mean. Thanks a lot man, will listen and try to see if I like how it sounds that way.
Thanks for taking the time. Apreciate it :)

Interesting drop like the high pitch vocal and the beat is at a good tempo aswell, maybe give those drums a bit more balls but overall sounds good

Thanks man, could you just explain better what you mean by balls? Soundwise (eq, master fx etc) or change the actual beat composition?

The lyrics are original; I wrote them myself. I don't have the ability to create music for this track, but I hope you'll at least like the lyrics." I'm presenting these tracks to you in the form of a demo - this is what they might sound like; I want you to evaluate my lyrics.

Description : Mindway and The Monzder Squadd go together like peanut butter and jelly man. This is our 4th or 5th collab, I think, but for this one, Pnnywze wanted to blend his and Mindway's production styles and see what happens. This is what happens.

NOTE - Shared this one yesterday before I realized that Rob Fame's verse at the end was messed up. So I'm sharing it with Rob's part cut out until my brother fixes it tomorrow.

The ambient track I finished tonight. Got some ideas just watching a movie.
I used a tiny fragment from a Paperkup's track - Bits of a piece.
