Minor Setback - Spivkurl

Yo Spiv...

I think you fit into ONE genre...
It's called minimalistic and you do it very well...
Your tunes are so nice to listen too...
Nice sounds and very well mixed!

Try to get a pella from Looperman... I wonder how it will sound with this tune!

Great job...

You know alot of your stuff is quite simple spiv, but yet it works quite well! Although this doesn't sound too fast pace like DnB usually is. (160 bpm) But who the hell am I right?? lol breaking the rules makes you your own artist! Nice transitions throughout brudda! regards and respect

Spiv! this sh.tuff is dope! great f breaks 'n'vibes all together. Love it how you played the eq on this one. This is one pumping'track. I can hear you through it, the rawish bass style, - but at around 2.20 i wish it dropped into something more multi-encompassing, like a variety of, - or a spectrum of this particular vibe-enchancing frequencies. Good vibe though, I'd say extend your breaks and add some layers, shtuff is smooth though, keep it up.

hi spivkurl
Spivie-noises...lol
cool track
go´es strong forward

Definitely a nice ride, my friend, faved.

i think you have set down a really great yellow brick road of electronica to travel on here. id be happy to remix or "merge worlds" on this. if that sounds like an idea you would be into drop me a line. i have a feeling that by looking into the subject of "indigo children/star children" may be of help 4 you. "crystal links" is a great web site too. books written about "indigo children" are better info sources than the web too. regards ..................................!1X1!....................................

like the track quite different soundin from alot of dnb. pretty individual which is always a gud thing. sounds pretty heavy wouldnt mind listenin to it through my sound system instead of these little headphones :(

nice oldschool synth sound miss the fat drop with change in drumset more fat kicks needs this track nice try anyway!

I was thinking I would hear "we are devo, d-e-v-o" in there at some point, haha. Boy did it remind me of some of that 80s electronic new wave at that time, like Gary Newman. You can certainly make a genre all your own Spiv, that's a good thing!

dl and fav!! Thanks!

This was really interesting. Definitely unlike any d'n'b track I've ever heard, and I quite enjoyed it. If you don't mind me asking, what's the bpm of this track? It sounded a lot slower than 170, which is standard dnb, but then again I've heard a lot of tunes which sound way slower or faster than their actual tempo.

This is going on my MP3 player forgotten how good this was great track and thanks for sharing.Respect....

got some very kool lines happening there guy!!

Peace

some nice ideas here brother I've always liked the idea of taking dnb to other place and this track does that.. perfectly.. fantastic production as always.. very 80's theme to it but at the same time add those pendulum influences.. loved it .. keep 'em coming brother

Hey Friend

ya one talent dude alright, brilliant bass, really good intro, had me hooked right from when it started, lol I do agree with AJ's review about the bee :) adding this one to the fav's list mate, cheers and Peace my friend...

Estefano

this is great - really quite trippy, spaced out and atmospheric d'n'b.

Yeah! you definitely have a theme!
I like that!
(musically in this track, and artistically)

most people just randomly throw stuff together without a theme...
Deffo got a theme..
I wish I could learn more about this circuit bent theory from you...

Mastering is where you have a lot of opportunities... I feel... mastering to me, is about pulling out all of the sounds, and giving them a right place...
allowing pitch and frequency to lay flat against a constant moving speaker... kinda....
EDIT
I don't feel that I am infallible or a master at mastering btw..
your mastering is great!
I just think this could shine more with more left and right disparities, and perhaps higher frequencies.. I may be wrong...

I tend to do metal type mastering, but if you don't mind, i could totally bring out some stuff??

I love it...

I realize this is a bit older of your work...

It's still a really amazing track!!
Faved, downloaded
a shame I hadn't known before!

Another sick beat from you.you're def my favourite electro artist with Travishuckins and one of my favs on this site too.Your music is so personal and creative,I've heard nothing like this before!

I love how the intro drags into the main riff. It sounds great. I dont really have much to say about it but i like it.

Is there no end to this mans talents? Love the bass great synths keep it up : )

diggin' the textures here that you are using man....your work is so rooted in the classic electronic giants of the school man, reminds me of not only yello and kraftwerk but also the 8bit weapon stuff i've heard recently...real and direct, that vocoder stuff put's me right back in front of the Mudd club on 23rd st nyc...1981-2..when Arthur took Trans Europe Express and just ran with it...thanks again for sharing your unique sound bro !!

victormusic01x...in the ny c!...ich nie san shi...one two..one two..uno..due...treeeeee...quattro...one two..!!

This is brilliant!
Reminds me of Yello.
Such a good vibe!Well mixed and produced.
Your work is different and inspiring.
I think this is a fantastic track.Def one for my ipod!g.x

I love circuit bent stuff...it's like the machines we use,abuse and totally rely upon are finally getting their say!...this sort of stuff bores right into your psyche,it gets behind your eyes.....and you can't stop nodding your head! lol..great track man..nice use of the vox as well..cheers planet :)

overall flow roll of the hit hat is nice ....and the kicks u used alsowell a bit feective for this tracks ... nice blends !!! tempo of this could be some what better if the tempo was a bit fast ..liked the ending u gave ... that was a good stuff ... all the equo has been set properly ... thats all i can review u in this track :)
nice work bro..!!!
keep trying new stufff!!!
its really inspires me !!!
becoz i believe in "new experiment always roczzzzzzzz!!!
ALL the best bro!!! god bless !!!!

Yeahh ! Nice Track the vocoded sample is verry great i like it! slow but verry nice.

i love those outerspace trance soundz. it's like throwback09
cool track

good beginning, although one criticism i have is that even though the drums are nicely eqed, they are quiet repetitive. Not saying it's not right just saying adding a few minor sounds in the front of the mix might hvae given it a nice variety
Personally I would have changed the note patterns the second time around, but sometimes it doesn't work that well, sometimes it does, so that's just my little 2 cents right there :)
Have fun! and Good work!
God Bless

Ah ha! I love it, I checked out the gallery. Dude I really admire your skillz, both in THIS song, your other tracks and then for your obvious skills and understanding of electronics and sound. Vry cool.

Loved the voxish sounds in this. Great track bud.

This track really moves. It is peppy and catchy. I like the samples/circuit bent elements!

For me, your music is incredibly visual. I keep vacillating between impressionism and dadaism. It's the layers and the mega-texturing you're doing at the deep levels (either that or I'm suffering audio hallucinations again). Wanting to drift off into total digressions, so I'll just give a nod and say how much I like this.

Toys rewired into musical instruments? Plz put a picture up or something, you have PEAKED my curiosity.

Your soundscape are always so interesting to discover, again great use of arrangments, like 2 bass line talking to each other, then the haunting vocoder brings in the melodic hook, this is great electro to a drum and bass beat, again a fun journey at sea from Captain Spivkurl.

I hate drum and bass like not as a choice it just sorta happens. I knew I'd like yours. Maybe that was a choice. What is a circuit bent atmosphere exactly? I dare not improvise my own description here in this review. It's too early in the day to let your tracks make my mind start dumping all it's data into this text field.

very good track, creative and well organized, great job on this one

Well done man. Lots going on in this track...I like that kinda stuff. Loved all the synths and effects used, they all sound killer. The vocoded sample is a real fine touch as well.

This track has a very full sound, whether that's the choice of synths or the eqing I'm not sure. Maybe it's both! A lot of energy with very interesting synths. I love that vocoded sample.
