The vocals actually come from the Vengeance vocal pack. I used it in recent track as well :p.

Really like how you made it sound so spacey. Nice short synths really nake vivid. The supporting pad is nice aswell!

Hello smallpaul
The track is very creatively constricted.
Beautifully laid out.
Well done.

Hey matey

You are the master of this genre on the loop, hear a fair amount of deep house when reviewing, have to say yours heaps ahead of a lot on here, beat great, nice choice of synths, really liking the effects used in this piece, sounds great in speakers here, vocals a very nice touch, fairly sure I have a couple of deep house tracks started, maybe will see if can find them, cant say they at this level, will see if can find...You might get a deep house track from me in the future lol...Excellent track this one, impressed...massive FAV...Peace n much respect Paul...Mosaic...

I might have to do a honky version of this because here in the U.K and indeed across the western world poverty is a growing political aim.
The Ghetto will stretch from forever to forever before long.
The demand for luxury yachts is outstripping supply but living in the fifthe wealthiest nation on the planet means we can no longer afford to look after our sick and disabled and old.
Looks like living in America the wealthiest country in history is the same ... the people black or white really don't matter.
If the walthiest countries on the planet can't look after their people theres not much hope for any of us.
I'm going to write a song about it ... you just inspired me.
Nice tune sorry mate rant over.

Loving those chords, gives the track a dub-technoish fee;.

Pretty cool track. A cool laid back easy groove, kinda hypnotic. The vocals add quite a bit. Mix sounds good, the effects you used, the reverbs and delays worked to give the song a big stereo feel. Must say this one works for me, well done!

Hi mate thanks for listening, Ableton live 7 is still throwing up little suprises for me regarding mixing and mastering, every time I find a new technique I want to go back and remix all my older tracks!

Great track I would say more but others have already said it. So it would be repetitive. I like the bass. Is that a mog or anx?

I remember the school days when you used to get 2 weeks off every so often, ah those were the days! Now I'd be lucky to get that off! Anyway, nice track has a pretty uplifting feel, love the synths and beats, good job!

I saw drum and bass but heard quite a bit more. I was impressed with vocals and how you mixed them. It has a jazzy feel and drums aren't overpowering but move along at a nice clip. Piano lines are tasty, bass holds it's own and moves around a lot. Overall the mix sounds pretty darn good!

Well done!

Nice Dance track mate! And a nice track title too. I would like to make a special mention of tambourine which you've used very efficiently, It's seldom we hear it these days. Glad you used it & how.

All the best.

Great mood and intro. Intriguing key change, I'd effect it more to put more emphasis on it. Overall the arrangment seems to need a little work, I think that such a good tune deserves to be more catchy. As it is now, it tends to became a little repetitive. Still like it a lot :)

Dance music repetitive?? Noooo!! Thanks mate but no, I am done with the track now and need to put it to bed. I did it quite a long time ago now and had it hanging around so I posted it so I could move on. Thanks for review anyway I will return the favour in due course.

Sounds Great. Big synth sound. Love it. I agree if you put some lead in there it might get a be crowded.

Smooth track, head bobbing instantly. A little crowded in the mix in places but nothing too much to worry about especially when it has that fantastic funky smooth groove.

Nice one

Yes, I was thinking of adding before that Underworld’s Two Months Off is a bit better than yours but thought I wouldn’t bother. Hey, it’s not easy being as good as surely one of the greatest dance acts of all time.

Those guys made quality home listening serious music albums as well as the obviously excellent pumping live dance shows. My favourite album is probably Beaucoup Fish, with killer tracks such as King of Snake, Jumbo and Push Upstairs.

If your mix is too crowded with the leads, just find ways of subduing the other elements eg use EQ to sculpt the pads when the leads are playing. And/or just turn them down.

I don’t use pads nearly as much as I thought I would years ago when planning to get a whole synth setup and emulate some of my favourite far out sounds. I find they take up a lot of room. I quite often just use delays on guitar parts as that often adds the far out vibe I’m looking for. And I can also make some pad-like sounds on guitar using a slow attack effect.

Also, if a mix is too crowded, turn the delays/reverb down and/or have fewer notes playing. Lots of ways to do it so good luck...
