chercher la petite bête c'est une qualité car cela induit que tu as le sens du détail et d'ailleurs ca se ressent dans tes compositions ;)

Rapper reminds me of Eminem.I like the beat also,very chill vibe.You could put some vocalist to fill in the empty spaces or use the same one, but honestly the beat itself is pretty entertaining.

You know, I didn't even look at the genre when pressing play, and it was funny because I was hearing circa 2009-2010 hip hop until I looked. However I do understand your choice here. The sax was killer, and the mix sounded very good! I'm not even sure what is going on with dub, since my real influences in the genre were all back when the lines were blurred between reggae, punk, and ska. I don't know if that is the case anymore. Very cool sound here though!

Hello Spivkurl,

each time i read you i discover some common ground with you! Last time it was cure!

you can't imagine how i'm happy to see you like ska, reggae or punk. I tried to do a ska track but without any claim of course :)

About your comment on my track: you're right, the sax brings shine in the sound. When i started to work on this track, i was playing my bass guitar in my home studio and i was looking for a bassline without any idea of genre. Suddenly, when notes were linked, i realised that i needed to go in the dub direction.
I was looking for voices sample to add in the track whan i discover Ade1980. I listened his flow (i didn't understand all the words) and i said: wow, that's incredible! i must try it with dub.

I'm really happy to see that you liked the track, it's always a pleasure to read you and you're welcome :)

Right off I'll tell you, Dub is not something I ever will seek out, but figured I'd give you a listen. This is really very good. Everything is clear as hell and there are no cheap feeling sounds. Too short, but man I really enjoyed this track. Vocals are clear and not negative, and for some reason made me think a bit of Ed Sheeran in the phrasing.

Really, some of the more professional sounding stuff I've heard here. Good stuff!

Take care.

Wow!! all these kind words honor me! thank you very much Evan!
It's all the more pleasant as on the base you tell not to be a follower of this musical genre!

I think that Ad1980 (the rapper) will be proud to be compared to Ed Sheeran!

thanks a lot Evan!

Catchy track, by the end I was all in! Cool effects on the vocals. Classic sounding keys. Plenty of space in the track, nothing is cluttered and everything shines through. Well done Bleep!

Hey Wayne,

thanks for your comment, i'm glad to read your positive feeling!
I'm french and sometimes i don't catch the meaning of ideas. Here, i don't understand "plenty of space"... like silences?

Anyway, thank you again :)

Hi man. Really like the flow and the feel of this track. You've given the vox some great grooves to play over. That sax is fantastic. I'd personally add some pads to fill the empty spaces, but that is just personal taste. It's beautifully arranged either way and a joy to listen to.

Very much enjoyed.

Description : I like to play with myself... Thats not how that sounded in my head lol. I finally am satisfied with my digital VST band. I have a Drum, Bass, Lead Guitar, Rhodes/Keyboard, Synth and some go-to Vocals.
Now all I need is some good ideas for tracks and more practice on my Mix/Mastering game.
This track is a slow 97.5 "Chill-ish", I'm trying out my new Band :)

PEACE...

Description : This short audio introduces MossFree Shoreline, a roof care service based in Shoreline, Washington. It explains how moss spreads across wet Pacific Northwest roofs, creeps under the shingles, and holds moisture against the roof all year long, and how a gentle soft wash removes that moss without damaging the shingles. It also covers the other services mentioned in the audio: moss treatment and prevention, gutter cleaning, and roof leak detection. roofmossremovalshorelinewa.com

Lyrics are literally just an absolutely abrasive and unrecognizable part of the verse to John Lennon's Working Class Hero which
illuminates my bullying more than any song I have come across ever.

I named it bandit as a sort of that's what you get to society for people like me
