I love minimal electronic music, this track has a great feel. If I had to make any suggestions though I feel like it's a little too dark for these samples and this vibe. I'd be interested to hear what it sounded like if everything were up an octave or a half.
Nice track well built and structured. I would have loved to hear a solid kick, something with a click or some high frequencies. The hat can be placed farther in the mix and can take up a bit more space. Maybe a different sample for the hat. It's just my opinion. I want to hear what you come up with when you're done. Well done, man.
Its been suggested to me before but i spose im not really one for pelas on a track?? dont know why? the only time i like it is when its really dark and eerie voice like. Royksopp - What else is there?(trentemoller remix). check that out if you havnt heard it by the way.
lovely stuff Faketrix,i enjoyed this piece ,sounds very good on my speakers,too,you asked for suggestion so i thought about some long and agressive build up,it would go great with this tune,actually it would highlight it,or a break with pella etc:let me know if there'll be any changes:))peace
Thanks for the the review friend! Comments like that make it worth the while. Ill definately try different ways to build the track as i also think that its maybe a bit flat at the moment. Ill let you know the changes!
Really really cool work on the rhythms and what goes on between the synths and percs. Love it.

Downloaded this track! Excellent work. When I saw the genre was "deep house" I almost passed it by thinking it might be too loud/repetitious/monotonous. What you have is a groovy smoothie with a great bassline, nice pads and synths. You throw in a few breaks with the drum beats and if I would make any suggestion it would be to change up the drum beat occasionally - don't just drop it out - but utilize a drum that would change the pattern to create some build and maybe switch back to the original drum loop when you're winding down.
Thanks for the good review MC. I will definately try out a few more drum fills to spice things up a bit and see how it works out. Cheers, Faketrix

i like, it def kept me listening to see if anything new would happen. I could see this being played in a fashion store or something like that... It makes me want to go shopping lol
F i liked the first part (3 or 4 mins)of the track but agree about the pads to give a bit more depth. On a negative I would say that the track is too long and has places were not a lot is realy happening. I think u could easily strip out a couple of mins. On the right lines tho!
youve got some good combinations of sounds with an nice beat here, the track could do with a lil more filling out in placesperhaps by layering some sounds or like the suggestions below adding some kind of pads or some extra drum fills
tip... try to bounce some of your midi tracks to audio which should free up some cpu load, its wot i did before i upgraded my ram which sorts out the problem in the long run... also by bouncing to audio there are normally more options as far as fx go...you could try bouncing down like 8/16 bars of each channel(if you wanted to change the arrangement at all + add different fx) or the whole track(each midi channel seperatly) and then add the extra midi tracks for the pads or woteva you want to add... i hope this resolves your problem...dont forget to delete the now unused midi tracks and i would save another copy and call it (b) or sumthink incase it f's it up knowing wot computers can be like
Thanks for the review! I have tried sticking in some pads but as soon as i open another Albino3 it get CPU overload and it wont play properly. You got any tips on this type of problem? Cheers, Faketrix
You've got a great deep house track goin here. I really enjoy this bass line! I agree maybe some creepy sounding pads would fit in really well. Nice melodies! Great work!
i like ur track mate,its all good,but you asked for suggestion...try adding some nice pad to ur tune and you'll see the difrence i think it would work very nicely together with ur tune,greetz;))peace
sweet. i like the snare idea. its all distortion and not a real snare. lol. the beat really brings some heat after a while too, kept me listening to see what else would happen. big ups man.
Unfortunately I am listening 2 this on the laptop but it sounds good 2 me - i'll listen again later on the proper system and edit as appropriate - good work!
Ah, as I suspected it's very good, lovin that bassline and i can hear the BS influence. Again good work.
Glad you liked the track, the vocals is a good idea but the only problem is i dont have a mic or a singer? and i dont know anywhere where you can get decent quality accapellas? if you do, pm me!
Nice minimal deep house with no excessiveness. Perhaps the hardest type of piece to provide contrast into and out of a break/hook. Good work. I like this piece: it moves.
what I lacked there a little bit this is a crispy short closedhihat like (bdrum hat bdrum etc.). But hey, really dark sounds deep bassdrum .. ahhh nice!

dark house definitely...i love the layering and the addition or subtle subtraction of instrumentation in this piece.
it would be great to have a creepy break in the middle with some voice saying something cryptic.
