Love the sound of the bass on this track, when it came in I was like "WHOA!" Awesome beats! Great flow, especially on those flute parts! This song could definitely be extended with good results. Very well done!

this is really nice work - I actually never really knew what breakbeat is - i am assuming it has a lot to do with the tempo and beat style - is this related to "glitch"? - sorry I just dont really know my electronic genres very well - its got nice intensity - love the flute!

Thank you Heaven. Breaks are all about the drum pattern and the other instruments too, Drum n Bass, Swing and Funk are all breaks driven.

This is really good. Awesome progression. I like the pluck synth that leads into the change. The drums sound nice and thick...The mastering is tight and robust. And the bass synth you have workin in there is nice.

Sweet tune!

AWESOME
:)

I know to trust your opinion now!

Yea, I will just say as a producer to another producer, I feel that this is still in the skeleton stage... Yet you have a really strong and quirky/fun skeleton to build on!
I really enjoyed the sounds you chose and agree with all the other reviewers. Some thoughts that immediately popped in my head was most definitely the flute and then delay on that... I just love a wind instrument with delay on it. But that's a personal aesthetic.

Another thought on my mind, was perhaps moving some semitones around so you got more musical movement out of the piece?.. There's always those trusted 5ths and 7ths that work sooo well in electronic music.

I will definitely keep my eye out for this, and I am going to listen to some more of your work!

The movie samples are cool and always a good way to spice up a track. Breakbeat and DnB can be hard to pull off I find but you sound like you know what you're about.
EzIcarus
EzIcarus replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thank You very much ResistanceIsFutile. I need to blend the movie samples to the track to make it a little more smooth, I think I am going to add some analogue feedback to give that vinyl feel to it.

I dig this, nice a laidback in a way at first. Then it gets interesting :)
I really dig where it went, and that little flute touch is a major thing, really floats along with the pounding pulse. The samples are really good touches.
Nice track, I enjoyed it. The finish was a bit off to me is really all.

EzIcarus replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thank You BrokenScythe fantastic feedback and much appreciated, I will review the end and see what can be done, its a little short and there is plenty of room for manoeuvre from the intro. A remastered version will appear in a few weeks, please come back to have a listen.

nice cuts, i really like the flow, but. you know this loops on 1:37, that keeps repeating throughout the track? you need to add more variations to it right now its in the foreground and very repetitive i think
great work

Spot on Douf, great advice and I totally agree. I will take a look at it when I am in the studio next.

Description : Peace
Peace is something I haven't felt in a while.
Im not talking about the small moments where you feel peaceful.

Im talking about being at Peace. The kind where you sit in the rain/snow, and just...lay there. In the moment where you accept yourself..
