This more my pace. From the get go, the drums. Deep pumping but they don't cause drop out and everything come through sick. Don't know if its side chained but it's something I gotta learn(5 years and I still try to avoid low subby kicks lol). Vocals fit like a glove. Builds up and you just know its about to go off lol. Also the bass and kick seem to play of each other really good. Deep groove! Synths add the icing. I always avoid house tracks but I'm starting to think I've been f'in up lol. Cheers :D

Thanks for the review and I'm glad I was able to bring you over to "this side of the HOUSE." :) I did and always side chain the drums if they are at all heavy and/or a primary part of the song. I find I avoid the dreaded muddiness or as I call it drowning. Depending on brands, House and Industrial can be similar. Actually, at some bar/clubz I've spun the two 2gether with a side of new order, Nitzer Ebb, and front 242, acid. oooo -what a tasty time that is. I'm sweatin just thinkin about it. Who knows, maybe some MCHN too!!
THANKS FOR THE FAV MY FRIEND..peace

Man this is great. Really awesome dual harmonies. I like depressing s**t. Life can't always be sunshine and rainbows you know lol. At least not without chemicals of some sort. Without darkness I wouldn't have much to look forward too lol. Back to the track, it's great. Yea Piano has some of the best piano sounds here(no pun intended). I also like the vocals kinda offset like that. With the technology at our hands everything gets so quantized and pitch corrected and put into form etc... Kinda leaves out the raw emotion of music. It's good to hear a change. Cheers :D

Hey thanks alot man. Yeah, without the vocals, it could have a possibility to be a normal and maybe pretty good hip hop song. But I was going for the offset vocal thing at the time. That's because at that time, I WAS feeling offset. ;) Thanks for listening,understanding, AND reviewing. I just noticed the FAV. That's real cool, thanks again.:)
peace

Okay, this is simply awesome. Great collection of sounds masterfully put together to create a definite piece of art. Love it. A good set of vocals would finish this off like icing on a cake.

Great work

Excellent track. Great use of the acapella. You backed it up perfectly. Really dig your choice of drums. Great transitions.

A Great piece of ear candy.

"Sweeeet." It took me forever to pick those drums. Once I did, it was a lot of fun dropping and adding certain drums with the echo of the voice as a main element of how the song was to be built. Thank you for checking it out and reviewing!

Def a unique style you got going on here. I like the way it progresses rapidly. the spoken word fits well. Great beats man. And the reverb and compression dance together creating waves, as she says. Very nice composition my friend.

Great mastering too!

Cheers!

Thank you sir. I get that particular style from growing up here in Chicago, listening and djing House Music back in the 80's through 90's. Still do, but that era seems to shine through alot with me. :) >>> You had mentioned the mastering. I sincerely thank you for that because I feel I'm truly struggling with keeping quality with songs. Thanks again and catch ya later!

The beginning was a bit abrupt, maybe a little fade in would be nice, but everything after that was sweet. Vocals, lyrics, instrumentation and transitions are all well done.

I look forward to hearing more great tracks from you,

Thanks. Can't argue w/ that. lol. Well I guess I was able to truly express how I felt back then. Since I'm new to posting, thought I'd give a chance to let my old stuff out. "ahh,it's great to be able to exhale". Props for droppin a line. peace...
