Haha, nice one!

But the big question now is, what flavor was it?
Man, they've got so many now that I've honestly lost track. I tried to keep up back in the 90s, but once I discovered Powerade was cheaper (though crappier tasting) I switched over to save some loot.

Anyways, this is like DJ Dado/Robert Miles mixes with Photek/Dieselboy. Rawk on lil buddy! I think this one captures the classic retro vibe perfectly (or atleast, better than that other one I listened to of yours that tried to do that, I think it was yours, hmm, {shrugs}).
And 3 minutes flat, how'd you manage that one? Flippin crazy, I tell you! I'm thinkin this one would be a perfect transition piece between genres in a mix (like goin from trance/dancy stuff into breaks). Cool stuff man. Later on!

Lemon Lime Gatorade!! The best! Haha 3 minutes flat just realized that, the perfect time by many peoples standards.

Super lite intro. Cool deal. For a second I hadta double check to see if it was playin. So lemme let this track build a bit before I continue...

Okies, I'm back...
Isn't it funny how stuff sounds different when you walk away? I was in another room like 15 feet from my PC and yada yada yeah, it sounded cool. (sighs)

This one is pretty out there. A trance track that takes on a life of its own, why I've never heard of such a thing, haha. Honestly, I can't think of anyone/anything else that this would remind me of. Well wait, the part I'm at now (over the 6 min mark) reminds me a little of someone. Couldn't tell ya who though.
Let's see... Remix stuff, hmm? Distorted Guitars, yeah, that'd so kick @$$! Industrial Trance, without the whiny Goth lyrics, OMG, that'd so rawk! Okies, I'm done. Later on!

on Deceptions- 2nd RPM Track by DaMann
Decepti-whats? Haha, hmm?
Maybe, this is like a water droplet's view from inside of a Thunder cloud. Its only menacing looking at the bottom, but up at the top things are more mellow. Ofcourse, that isn't factoring in the hyper charge of the cloud so (shrugs).

Nice usage of the choir synths in this. They add to this having an etheral quality to it.

And with that said, I think it's about time for you- GameboiX and TheHandThatRocksTheDecks to do a big Trance collab (maybe DJVO could come in the mix somewhere too). There are tracks of their's that this is reminding me of. I think it'd be pretty bangin if yall did. Later on!

on Number One by DaMann
wow..

you know... you and harmonixx i think have grown the most over the time that I have been on this site.

This has great dub, but the vocals did get on my nerves.
I was like .. ok Number One shut up, you are fucking up the break!

lol... this is great, i love how you are playing the delay to your advantage!!! that is adding such intensity...

good sense of space...

ok... so i want to offer you my ideas..

I woulda posted this as jazz lol.. (just to be a dickhead) and then , i would taken the voice, you know at the first part, how he says, number one, number one, but then reversed it into your crash on the down beat?.. you know?? and then , after doing that, his voice could become molded into anything you want..
like reverse textured synthed out voice?.. or like... chopped and screwed.. lol.. that would be epic..

i dunno curtis..

you are .. like.. to me, i think about it, you are already a legend in my mind, just that as the more you grow older, I can only wonder if you will be number one, or stop giving a shit about numbers..? you know??

sorry for the deep review..
but i brought you some cookies.

DaMann replied Unknown
Weird, today I went into the kitchen looking for cookies, girl scout cookies, thin mints to be exact, but my dad ate them all, so thank you for the cookies. I have made a lot of changes, definitly going to working with the vocals more. You should hear what I have on my computer, its hundreds times better, the mastering makes it awesome, thick and lush. Ill definitly mess with reversing the vocals. Oh yeah I'm going to have a hardcore release soon, maybe within the week. I have talked to the label owner and he's liking the tune, I'm just waiting on a guy, dj cotts, to give me a vocal saying,"mate, those are awesome pants where did you get them?" Yeah it'll be a banger. Get on gmail we need to talk

Nice drums and synth sounds. Sounds great! I don't know if that lead fits. Maybe try a different lead synth sound.

How is that collab coming. I have a new track that you may want to check out. IT is called "Automatic Shutdown." It is a hardcore track made mostly with my mc-303, so it sounds like 90's hardcore.

great melody and great sound - it's somehow very uplifting track, though with a slightly darker side - especially the ending. i think there you could go even further! thanks for sharing!

it's too abrupt..

I love it!!

But you are moving too quickly without letting the listener love your track!!

You have a lot of good stuff happening in this... Just think about song structure.. which i know you know...

It is too regimented. For my taste..

Regardless.. hope all is well Curtis.. miss ya man.. I have been on this insane shit-fest of a life journey.. heh..

I was trying to make something crazy. You know if this was on vinyl, you could play it and everyone would think you are a godly DJ, mixing in and out of 10 second segments flawlessly, just play with other records and look like you are doing something while this plays.

Did you ever reveal what the image is?
I just had a look for it again but still nothing.

Great track none the less!

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I've heard the intro to this before (somewhere, either on yours or someone elses, shrugs). That little drum boom and then later the drop out were really sweet. I'll agree that this is Goa-Psy, but your approach to it is kinda minimum (not that that's a bad thing, just different). Like I'm so use to hearing those twarpy basslines whenever I listen to the Goa-Psy channel on DI.fm that I kinda expected to hear 'em here. Didn't and must say that it's a pretty refreshing approach to it. Thanks for sharing. Later on!

DaMann replied Unknown
Made this a long time ago, didn't really know that much goa/psy. Now I understand it more, I might make a darker version, just utilizing that tight bassline.

Liquid D&B? Hmm, interesting mate. So this is your submission to the comp, ay? Rawk on! It's just so odd listening to something when I've used the loops to. Because of that a part of me wants to fight it, but you've thrown enough extra stuff into this to make it cool. And I must say, that I'm definately diggin the effected Saxophones ya used on this. And the drumline and bass are nice and juicy. Heck, this'd be a pretty tight song without using the Free-loops samples, ya know? Haha, no, I'm not discouraging you from the comp, lil bro. In fact, I'd say this one has me beat by atleast a few ranks (like 4+ higher). Anyways, nicely done mate. Later on!

i love the sax! saxiphone is a fabulous instrument and fits in well. i love the vocal work and this sort of beat with vocals sort of reminds me of moby, and i think you could learn some by listening to how he lines up his vocals to beats. i found that the beat in this seemed maybe rushed? i don't know just something about the vocals and beat together just made me antsy... i think its the synth, is that what you used? but i think it could be improved by not using the synth or not using the echo on it, i think thats what i'm hearing. i absolutely loved your use of sound levels though, and fading, it gave the song dynamic and i love that. i also loved the just stripped sax, sounds nice!c keep up the good work!
DaMann
DaMann replied Unknown
Been a while since I've listened to Moby.

As for the beat. I am remastering it, it's got a more solid kick and snare pattern, maybe that will fix what your talking about, I'll see about the delay on the pluck synth too and check out the vocals.

on Chilling Out by DaMann
The funky guitar riffs ya used on this were pretty refreshing. At first I was kinda scratchin my head as to whether this was an authentic trance track, but then the second half of the song kicked it with the busy synths and I stopped wondering. Kinda like the step-up approach ya used on this song. Going from one mood to another, in a way. Or A side/B side, if you'd rather. I like the fade out too. Later on!

You've got a call holding on line 3. Floor mananger needed at register 10... Haha, sorry, I just had a flashback to the times I've worked in warehouse-like department stores (if at all possible, avoid working at those types of places mate, they're horrible). Though I will admit, driving a Forklift can be kinda cool.

This track is Trancy, yes, but it also has a indus-techno kinda feel. Like what PVD would do if he were to tunnel back to his baggerboy days before he made it big. Du want papair ou plasteque? Haha. Nicely done mate. Later on!

I like the jazzy type of feel along w/ the jamaican
vocals

I think this is an excellent DnB track

I can tell that this prob isn't the main version, just some more mastering and I know this will be completel

DaMann replied Unknown
I've got some awesome edits done to it so far, I'll update it sometime, but the bassline is fatter, smooths out some things, added a few things such as FX.

The mastering I have done really brings out the snare and kick, I added a sub kick too, it's got plenty of punch in a more subtle way.
