Hey friend, good to hear from you! I appreciate you leaving a review, makes me happy that you enjoyed listening. I'm attempting to learn with every song, and every day for that matter, and to always try something new. Hope all is well for you! Thanks again!
Very enjoyable listen, sorry couldn't get here earlier, just listened to a remix and net played okies so thought would drop in before heading to bed, excellent work my friend for a genre you don't do to often, just downloading stem's as doing this, so looking forward to having a crack at this one, especially after listening to this and what you have done, never done a remix before so will be a learning curb for me so to speak, vocals very different but love it, even when you do this genre, you still have the spiv feel and touch on it, which is what I love about your tunes, has you sig touch/sound on them...fav'd my friend...Thank you for sharing this one and the stems...will let you know when my remix is up...Peace n Respect matey...Mosaic...
Hey friend, thank you very much for stopping in! I appreciate your comments on this track. That seems so surprising that you haven't done a remix before, as I think you would make some amazing ones! Hoping to be involved in your first one! Seems like some people like the vocals best, and some people like the music best, so I guess I'm glad I put both in there. Thank you very much for listening and faving this!
Hey thanks for listening and doing a remix! I enjoyed it very much! So far it's my second most downloaded remix kit, we'll see if it brings up the slack to become number one. I appreciate the comment!

Hello Dan, thank you very much for your kind and helpful words! I'm definitely enjoying this style, and in the future I hope to make something a little more original. I really appreciate you always giving you opinions and listening! Hope you are well!
prophet of doom vocals! big like! mix is outrageously cool! always a new sound, something fresh coming up around the corner. super mix Pat! big congrats!
Hey friend, thanks for stopping in! Doom vocals, that's interesting, haven't heard that specific term before. I guess it fits what I've been doing lately. Cool! Happy you enjoyed the mix! Have almost TOO MANY ideas lately, so I just have to pick one and take it to it's conclusion, so expect something different next time. Appreciate the support!
that bassline! :p nice mixing and also you got strangely captivating voice and how you use it (loved it in 'aerosol' too) and different style. I keep playing 1:05 to 2:15 over and over and over :) but that's just me, the entire track is great. very cool how you put the loops there for everybody. I am going to enjoy with Bass_Hook Pattern_130 BPM_F# minor (and the others) :D nice one!
Ha ha, yeah the bass was the first thing I got rolling when building this track, it's addictive. Thanks for the comment on the mixing, it took some practice to get it right. I appreciate that you enjoy my recent vocals, trying to get better. Funny that you're looping part of the song, sounds like you should get remixing...ha! Enjoy the remix kit! Thanks much for listening and leaving a review!
Wow, love the vibe. The track took me different places which is what I like. When a track doesn't grab hold of me I find myself going straight to listening to the technical side of it. I just grooved away here. I never thought of remixing anyone's tunes(too busy learning and trying to get my own ideas to sound good) but I'd love to give this one a shot. You'd be my first! (*/∇\*)
I appreciate the positive feedback very much! I'm happy it got you groovin, I guess that's what electro should do. Have fun with the remixing, and don't feel any pressure from me. It's all in fun, and for the love of music. It would be an honor to be part of your first remix. Thanks much!
Glad you enjoyed the stomp! I'm guessing you mean Mr. Weebl? I couldn't find anything from a Mr. Weeble... I guess I get it, most the stuff I heard didn't have much for vocals. Thanks very much for taking a listen and leaving a comment!
I wasn't sure exactly where you were going with this one at first..but about 20 seconds in I knew that I'd be delighted. Nice track, you really made the vocal & synth elements work together in this one. I like how you are not afraid to be yourself musically. Great Job!!
Hey buddy, thanks much for your supportive comment! The intro was a very conscious effort, and was meant to be a large contrast to other elements of the song, which could be subtly referenced later in the track. I think it worked out okay that way. Glad you enjoyed the vocal/synth play! I spent plenty of years not being myself, now I have taken measures to free that real me. Thanks for noticing! Hope all is well!
Good call my friend! I haven't stopped working on new stuff, and I'm unpredictable... never know what genre will pop up next. Thanks very much for listening and leaving a comment! And thanks most of all for the fave!
Hey Spiv, this is pretty cool track, I like the feel of the intro and then changes big time. There is a lot of dynamic things going on with this. Good job and keep it up.
Thanks much for the kind review! Glad you enjoyed the track! I guess part of the change is that the intro was a fully conscious creation, where as the verses were formed in my subconscious. I appreciate you taking a listen!
Another Awesome track Spivkurl! The track has a very upbeat groove to it. The bass is really sick and your vocals were great. The mix sounds pretty good too. This one's another Fav. Nice work as usual.
Thanks my friend for always being there to leave a good review! Glad you enjoyed the groove and bass, I was getting into it while mixing that's for sure. I really appreciate the fave! Thanks!
Word up, Spivkurl. Fine work here. I like people with some fuckin' character as most people seem not to have much. You're not one of them!
Bass and drums really kick it in this one and like it because it's not as weird and wonky as some of your others. A much simpler, cooler groove you can really move to.
1:15 stop is fun and would work nicely on the dancefloor. High sounds you return with are very cool. Pitch-shifted vocals?
Throughout the following section the tone and movement of the mid-range bass is just great.
2:16 get on the offbeat and get dancing a bit more, you bastards!
3:15 squelchy breakdown and distant reverbed vocals work well.
3:44 nice main theme return and you're doing a bit more in making those pitch shifted vocals (?) funky. Tightly sequenced and now very dancey.
You probably could have lost 30-60 secs on this (God, look who's talking) and it would still be fine. But going on for a while is just fine when it's this sort of fun party.
I can't really fault this one and I think the vocals work well too so 'tis a favourite for me.
Thank you very much for taking a listen and leaving the helpful review! I realize that we come from different worlds when it comes to music preferences, so it means a lot to me that you enjoy this song, and that you faved it! You're right, some of my stuff is "wonky", I guess that's down to my mental illness and my strange musical preferences. Those pitch shifted vocals are the word "electro" edited to have a sustain loop, and then played with on my midi controller as if it were a synth. Turned out pretty decent. I too like the movement of the bass on this one, it made the track what it is. You should maybe check out the "deconstruction mix" I included in the remix kit for this song, as it's more of a radio friendly length and stuff. Very raw though. Thank you again for your great review!
This is really retro sounding. It sounds like cyberpunk. You've done yourself justice here, that bassline is something straight outta the 80's but with a modern twist. I love the filtered effects you put on it and the vocal synthesis is brilliant. This is one of those tracks that could just go on forever.
Like the way you broke it down and brought in that cowbell thing and then that crazy synth that goes with it.
You might have been in a weird mood but this aint weird its really good.
FR
Hey, thanks, some good feedback you've contributed here! Cyberpunk makes sense to me... been rewatching Max Headroom lately, and watched Repo:The Gentic Opera again not long ago. I almost didn't remember what you meant by voice synthesis, but yeah it's there... ha ha... kind of just started thinking of it as a synth. I actually shortened the final arrangement, but if it could go on forever, maybe that means it's appropriate for remixing. I really appreciate you taking a listen, hear you soon!
Love the effect of the synth getting gradually louder after the 1:18 mark. The vocals are interesting as I find you have been excelling at that lately. The drums, as simple as they are are very cool and have a catchy beat. Things break out a little later in the track, there are some cool changes here. Well done Spiv, totally diggin this!
Thanks very much for stopping in to listen! Thank you for your support regarding my vocals, had to force myself to retrive my voice for this one...smoking and all ya know. This song relies heavilly on spontaneous automation to accent the changes, so I'm glad you think it worked okay. It was nice for a change not to focus on supercomplex drums, sometimes I put too much effort on that. Tried to save some things for later in the track, so it would build up nicely. I really appreciate the comment my friend!
Coming from one of my most dedicated listeners, this means a lot to me! Sometimes it pays to leave your comfort zone for a couple days, and I don't regret the outcome. Thank you very much for the listen, fave, and DL!
Freaky good, some dark disco going on here. Maybe we could name this genre Litho-Disco. As usual your vox shine for me, nice bass line. The synth line at 2:20 is nice. Love the ending. Great work Spiv. Studio is almost finished here in my new location so I can remix again. will be contacting you soon.
Steve
Hey, thanks so much my friend! Means a lot to me! As I said to MYXD, I wasn't thinking about offering a remix kit, but since two of my Looperbuddies are interested I will probably be giving it a try. I was trying to impart a little disco vibe, Litho-Disco...that's funny! I appreciate the supportive comment on the vocals, I found my vocal chords were a little weak on this one, but I just kept on keepin on. I can't take too much credit for the bass line, save for the arrangement and mixing of it. Took me a few tries to get the ending sounding right, it needed to be balanced. Thank you very much for the listen and comment! I will contact you when the remix kit is ready!
Hello my friend! Nice to get a listen from you, as well as the comment! I hadn't thought about doing a remix kit for this one, but since you and crucethus are both interested, I might just do that. It's tough to tell how to go about exporting the stems, I'm thinking in their raw state. At the same time the groove and progression rely heavilly on automation of effect sends and stuff. Anyway, I'll get in touch with you when I have it figured out! Thanks for stopping in!
Hey man, thanks for stopping in! I think this one turned out good because I didn't overthink it. Turns out that electro is a pretty fun genre to make. I really appreciate your kind comment!
That is quite a mind bending bassline and vocals! Really liking the punchy beat. That electro bass with the filter rise is really nice and crunchy! Sounds good! I should probably be going to bed soon as I have to get up early but instead I'm sitting here blasting this and cutting some mad shapes haha ;) The funky muted wah guitar sound or whatever it is sounds nice too! This is getting faved fo sho! Well done.
Thanks for staying up a little late to crank out the new one! It's fresh from the flash drive. Was fine to try some slightly different approaches, so I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to fave! I've got those stems you made on my studio hard drive now, and will be working with them shortly. Appreciate you listening friend!
