In The Spirit Of Reich Take 1 - Thyroid

Description : This is a track that has been inspired by Steve Reich, a minimalist artist that makes music with a lot of dissonant notes mostly fast with chaos and yet very structured. I am not copy him but wanted to make a piece that has my own twist in it. I used a great vst called phase Shifter where i made all the instruments in with the effects. Samples made by myself. Composed in Ableton. The genre is Ambient but that doesn't work for this piece, but it was the closest genre. I hope you stop by and listen to it, and allways enjoy it.

Thyroid... This is just epic! I love the smooth and New Age style intro at the beginning, and then the African style drums coming in around the 2 minute mark then it drops back to the smooth melody. Reminds me of Flying Lotus somewhat (who's also a multi-generalist musician in case you haven't heard.) This track is really nice though, great work!!

A musical component, very special, and not accessible to all ears. I salute your attempt, as it was daring, something that you have succeeded ....

Nice work indeed! Nicely dissonant and slightly unsettling. Great mood piece.

great music, first of all - stunning and original composition. I think this is really great work taking SR's cell-based approach in a new and v effective direction. much respect for the intent, much mucho respect for the execution - this is beautiful, theoretical, lyrical, rhythmic and it works

thanks for the compliments, i am kind of overwhelmed by this all, because it is a total different piece of music that i normally make. Thank you so much for this, it was a challenge to make this, and thank you for liking it.

I think you did him proud. If you keep on plugging away, sooner or later you will come up with your own style, then people will try and make a style based off of yours.

I am thinking to explore more and experiment more with this kind of genre but with my own thoughts.
Thanks again.

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.

Description : This is hardcore hip hop. Very Dr DRE, Lil Uzi Vert, Nicki Minaj style with a euro dance vibe /feel and with a hip hop beat. Lot's of bass in the track too. Hope you enjoy my new rap track. I have edited the previous track since I am allowed only 1 upload per day here. This is the final mastered version. The previous version had mastering problems which I have adjusted here.
