This is an awesome track! I love how it progresses, and you're right it is very uplifting! I love the break around 3:50, it sounds awesome! The vocals are really well used too! Awesome buzzy bass sound! You've outdone yourself with this track, really nice work!

Very nice work man! Just the right amount of compression on the vocals to fit in the house genre. A nice 4/4 on the floor to get the club jumping and great vocal tones from the lovely lady. You combined all the right elements to make this jammer and I seriously love it. If there was a rating system here like on IDJ I'd give you a 10/10 easy.

The music is trance setting sure enough. I can see some kaleidoscopic multi-colored lights "searching" the writhing bodies on a dance floor at a disco. Gals in metallic-looking sheaths apparently deep in thought of just how to move and willing their bodies to precision undulation. Almost undiscernable vocals streaming in and out of your conciousness. Personally, I would like "fuzzy" vocals that were cryptic enough but easier understood.

By the way, I am really impressed by your avatar.

Thx man for that visual review!!! As for the fuzzy vox I did mess with a lot of effects, but ..to get the vocals to cut through it took some major eq'ing and mixing...I did try getting them fuzzy but once the track was playing they kept disappearing behind the music. And just whackin the vol up wouldn't have worked so i am glad they are audible at least. Thanks again for the review and keep listening to my tunes. Thx!

Wow, this is just insane! I'm seriously speechless!

Wish I could make something like this, just started trying out making house in logic and it's incredibly hard. The skills to make something like this is just beyond belief! I'm interested, how long have you been doing this, and do you have any tips or something that can make me understand what to do to make something this fluid and professional. I find myself struggling when it comes to building up songs, breaks, hooks, silent parts, mastering and so on.. There's so much to learn my head's spinning :P
Anyways, incredible track, if you could give me some tips to work on, I promise I'll be following your footsteps as best as I can, hehe :)

Cheers, Michael :)

Salkizar replied Unknown
Hey Michael. Firstly thanks very much for your review. I am honoured that you think this track is so good. I have been producing music for around 2 and a half yrs till now. As far as building songs goes the best advice I can give you if you are starting out is build a bassline and kickdrum pattern first. I hear so many producers trying to make a full song straight away and it very rarely sounds great!
Once you have your kick, bass pattern then add a melody line over the top of it...something simple but catchy. Then build from there. Hi hats, ride cymbals, drum loops etc...will give the whole thing energy and dynamics.

That's where I would start if I was you...then upload it to looper and you'll get some quality feedback from the guys on here if you ask for it...Then go away and build on it again using the advice you get...Anything else you want to know just ask anytime.

Thx again!

Mark

This is seriously cool and funky! Is this recorded live, or was the crowd just sampled? It does have a live feel to it! I could see a song like this going over well in bars here in the USA. Pure party music, I love it!

thx mate. the crowd was a sample..although we tried to get a live sound in the studio.

Were it only that we all could put the music in our minds into the ears of others. Well-made track, I can feel the energy coming from it right off the bat. I would love to hear this a few times in a row!

Nice track man, nice and light with some good synths and sounds happening. Solid trance track, nice drums too.

Come check out one of mine sometime and return the review. It's not Trance stuff but it's good music too.

..... still listening, breakdown.... Nice, second drop synth is a nice touch too.

By the 30 sec mark was rocking my head and tappin ma feet. Classic talent. Sounds like the era I grew up in, 80's 90's, so I naturally like it, compared to those youngsters and their noise they call music. Ha.

on Vernal Sunshine 3am Remix Mix by Salkizar
Hey Salkizar, I've never heard the original and after listening to this one will refuse to even consider listening to it :) Nice track. I definitely like the metallic-electro style bassline. I always consider sounds similar to be some of the best to get out of a bassline since it completely carries the track in a solid way. The sequencing is also pretty cool with the duality going on nicely. Probably the only thing that I noticed on this one is the snare. There are times when it feels like a machine-gun (mainly because it needs a bit of "swing"). So I would suggest you try to make those sound a bit more natural: lower the amplitude on every other hit would be my approach as a 1st experiment. Other than that, a very cool track...very nicely done, and the melodic elements really mesh nicely. Great work my friend.
