Hey, Pete! So cool to see you stop in! You always seem to come out of nowhere, and it's always a pleasant surprise! If it makes you feel better, I suspect I'm an alien sometimes too... we'll probably never know for sure. Thank you so much for taking a listen, it means a lot to me! I have changed the song pretty drastically since you heard it, and would love to hear your impressions. Hope you are well! Thanks again!
As someone who likes to mix genres, I especially like this one. It definitely has a late 70's early 80's post disco feel.
The organ. Yes! I've often said there isn't enough organ work anymore. As an organ enthusiast, I love it! You did get a sweet sound on it too. It's got a very rich distortion without drowning out that signature organ sound. I've heard some distorted to the point where they just sounded like another guitar. This one toes the line, but still retains that sweet, sweet organ love! (That sounded a lot dirtier than I meant for it to.)
I really like the spoken word style vocals. It's definitely a more subdued approach than we're used to from you. I think your vocal endeavors are panning out. To be honest, I'd love to hear your take on a cover of something by The Cramps.
Nice work, man.
Take care.

Hey what's up? Thanks for having a listen and leaving your always helpful and enjoyable comments! It's nice to know there are others who are into organs like me. I can't really resist keyboard instruments when I find them, and organs are definitely my favorite. I like the Fanfare organ because it has so many options to shape the sound. I can now get a good sounding recording out of the headphone output by sending it into my direct box. Much easier than micing the speakers, and has less of that old amplifier/speaker noise. I don't quite remember what I got that overdrive sound with, but I like it. With the organ I was going for a little bit of a Doors feel, and I think that leads into the spoken word parts well. Organ love, can't go wrong with that dirty or not! I think I've been trying to outlet my anger and aggression in other ways, thus leaving my art more open to different vibes. Thanks for the support on my vocals! To be honest, I've barely listened to The Cramps ever, but I should probably take a listen now. I've made some big changes to this song since you listened, I hope you like it still. I appreciate your review!
Thanks buddy! I appreciate you taking a listen! I've changed this for version two fairly heavily, so if you feel like listening again, I'd love to hear your opinions! Hope all is well, thanks again!
wow what fun feeling to this piece, agree a mixture of genre's, but all working so nice together as one track, to be honest this sounds like it should be on radio, has that vibe to it, again nice use of the vocals mate, you getting so good with your vocals now, more clear sounding with less effects on them, which I guess gives you more scope to use in different genre's...Totally love the listen here friend...Fav'd...Peace n MUCH Respect Pat...Mosaic...
Thanks very much for all the supportive comments! Funny you say it should be on the radio. I can't imagine what kind of station would play something like this...heh. I'm having fun doing vocals lately, and it's getting easier for me to get good recording of pretty much anything. The vocals in the middle are pretty heavily effected though. Thanks for the comment and fave!
Hey friend, thank you very much for listening! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new version up today, I think I filled in the gaps that were there. I appreciate your comments!
Another cool track my friend, almost sounds a bit disco in places! Love the sounds in this and killer bassline too! Love it at 2:00 when it goes into the next part, the little vocal snippets work really well, good vocals by you also! Enjoyed this one! :)
I'm getting the feeling I'm in a disco mood, which is a little strange to say the least... wait until you hear the mix i just sent you... heh. The bass was mixed between one mid range sound and a sub bass made from analog waveforms, I kind of like the combination. All the vocals in this are me, just trying to stretch myself at the expense of appearing foolish. I hope this song will get better soon, I'm just back in collab mode, so, ya know... Thanks for the review!
I hadn't heard of the word seplicate so I looked it up on the dictionary app and it couldn't find the word. So you are creating new words to match your unique style of music, that's cool, lol.
I am not up on all the genre differences when it comes to electronic music so it sounds like another cool Spivkurl track that is a bit more subdued than some of your recent tracks. A little more relaxed approach to the vocals and they do sound good.
Well done my friend, enjoyed the track quite a bit!
Hey friend! Thanks for taking a listen! Yep, I couldn't find the word either, so I assume it's new. Pretty much defined within the song, but I don't know if it's clear. Kind of a dual meaning so far, firstly the saving and distrubution of genetic material through cloning or seperating parts of things (like suckers or root stock), secondly the free distribution of ideas and creations with the intention of molding the future with focus. I was trying to be a little more mellow with this track, especially on the vocals. It was giving me lots of CPU and software troubles while mixing, so we'll see how the next version ends up. Appreciate you leaving a comment!
Nice one! Really great electro sound and og course technically sounds good too! I have the remix pack, but I*m using FL 10 nad don*t have a single clue how the hell I use those files... Any suggestions? Thank you!
Hey, thanks for stopping to listen! I'll try to help you use the files, it's really easy with FL 10. (That's what I use too) Basically just put the files in a directory that is available in the FL browser at the left of the screen. Refresh the browser so the new files show up. You can then use them like any sample. I recommend setting your tempo to 130 and then dragging the audio one at a time onto the playlist. They should all line up at a bar change with that tempo set. After that you should be able to change the tempo as you see fit and have the samples stretch to fit. You may want to enter the channel settings window for each one and change the time stretch type to "Pro Transient". This will maintain the quality better if stretched, and should keep the pitch the same. Would love to hear what you come up with! I appreciate you taking a listen and leaving a comment!
Your too kind! I love sound design, so I guess that's my secret... heh. I'm proud of the organ parts, especially in the intro, pretty much the best distorted organ tone I've gotten to date. I'm hoping to improve this song soon, but they're doing construction by my house and I don't want that noise in my recordings. Thanks much for stopping in!
I see all those walkers slowly walking in rhythmic patterns. Very interesting synth work. The vocals this time had a better spot in the mix and was just the right amount of words to keep you interested while getting to your message. As others mentioned about the bass works, does sound good and heavy clean. I can hear what they mean about the professional quality. Honestly this is a family style I know of you and you do it really good. The mix to me is similar to your others, maybe this time that slightest adjustment allowed the sounds to push each other in the right direction instead of trying to top one another in some cases I've heard. Overall, was a good experience to listen to, I hear the fun init. Thanks for sharing Spiv, keep going! Peace.
Thanks very much for your support and helpful review! By "walkers" do you mean the zombie sort of walkers? I like those. I've been really training myself on equalization lately, and also trying to bring more of a progression to the mix and effects within my songs. Sometimes it takes much practice and many renditions to get it how I want it, but it feels worth it, especially when you have a song get this kind of reaction. I appreciate you listening!
This song became so popular with all these remixes, and now I can see (hear) why. :) Really interesting bassline and beat, everything mixed very well. I expect more tracks like this one! :)
Hey buddy, thanks for checking this one out! Who knows, but I don't know if I'll ever make something like this again. It's not quite original and wonky (as StaticNomad mentioned before) as what I usually do. It really blew up on Looperman, everywhere else it was just another song. I am happy to see the reaction though. Thanks for the support!
Spivs having a run of tunes ending in "ate" huh? Like those squelchy synths, what is that sound? Love the way it sort of swaps from tech house to house. Nice touch with the vocals. It's a pretty complex track with lots of layers and switches that keep it interesting (not like my repetative drivel)
What i love about your stuff is you never know what you're going to get and this is a pretty complicated sounding piece. It must have taken you a while to put this together.
Good stuff.

Heh, leave it up to you to notice the title thing! After searching a little, I don't think this is a word yet! I guess I'm not sure which sound you mean by "squelchy synths"... do you mean the higher frequency acid sort of bass sound? If that's the one you mean, that's a patch I set up on Fabfilter One, which I must say is a pretty high quality sounding synth. Kind of heavy on the CPU, but worth it I think. I really don't know a lot about house, just trying to do my own version of it I suppose. I think it is pretty complicated, because I kept crashing the DAW with this one, like every time I tried to render a new mix or whatever. By mastering time my CPU was at 99%. I'm going to add some things to make this better soon, and maybe redo the effects a little, because theres some things about it that bother me. I like taking people off guard with my songs, so I'm glad you like that too! Mostly done in two days, with a little more mastering work on a third. Partly because of the crashes, and partly because of the effects bothering me. Thanks much for taking a listen!
That means a lot to me! I like many kinds of music, and especially music that either entices people to listen to new things, or blends styles in unusual ways. This song should be getting better soon, once I have the time and focus to finish it. Thanks for the support!
You have a lot of creative imagination at this time .... It's a good mix of genres very well controlled, and with once again your musical particularity ....
As ever, you are here to support me, and I am thankful! I've almost been having to reign myself in on a weekly basis so as not to start too many projects... it gets difficult to chose which to finish. I will be adding to this one soon I believe, so hopefully it will get better not worse! Thank you again!
Thank you very much my new friend! I know what you mean about the vibe, when it's gone before you fully realize what it's done to you. I kind of like that about this version too, but I do think I'm going to add some simple touches to make it better, after reading the responses here. It's good to hear from you, appreciated!
Works for me...sounds pretty cool. I think maybe you could get the vocals to pop a little more if you hit them with some FX. Maybe a little delay and some reverb? Pretty pumping though.
Thanks much for your support and feedback! I too was thinking the verse vocals are a little dry. Got some ideas last night to bring this song closer to completion, especially after reading the comments. I appreciate you taking the time to listen!
Hey friend, I appreciate your stopping by! After yours and other comments I'm think of adding to the song a little, we'll see how that goes. Glad you like the groove
Definitely like this song alot. There are some moments where the clash seems a bit odd, but that's barely an issue. The spoken word really adds to the song, and is a very good feature.
Thanks for listening friend! I must admit to loving clash at times. I'm glad you enjoyed all the same. after hearing more comments, I've been thinking about some things to add to the song... it should get better. Thanks again!
Hello Orlando, thank you for being the first to review this song! After recieving some more comments, and laying in bed thinking about it, I think this song could use a few more elements. Maybe in a few days I'll have something. Thanks for your support!
Thanks very much for your positive comment! The club is cool, and I'll take the commercial suggestion for what it is...heh! I don't think I've heard Hate Dept, I'll have to check em out sometime. Appreciate the support!
