Yes, it is very experimental! I really get into the synths you used on this one! The rhythms are very good too, and danceable! Nice ending, didn't expect that drum hit after the fade! Really good track man!
I obviously dont know for sure, but I'm willing to bet your dad would be proud of you and this track. The end product will be great i'm sure. keep putting your heart and soul in it, and it'll all fall together. Talent is def their. The break at the end is sick.
Firstly, sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what it's like to lose a father, but I hope you're doing well.
Secondly, this is great. I love the beat, the samples, and I just generally love hip-hop that sounds like this....you know, soulful retro-futurism or whatever you wanna call it. My only one criticism would be that this is too long [that's what she said?] and ends up sounding repetitive. My suggestion would be to bring the chopped up bit around 4:25 to somewhere around the middle so the ears don't get totally used to the main melody, before bringing it back again. Other than that though, this is excellent work and I genuinely enjoyed this.
Cheers SGN. I was struggling with the best way to pull this all together, made a few changes based on what you said, try to keep it more succinct. Thanks alot! p.s loving the innuendo.
To be honest with you, dubstep is a genre that I'm just learning to appreciate. I haven't liked a lot of what I've heard thus far, but some are great. This is a great one. A definite credit to the genre and a definite fav.
nice ...good track like the way it break down into the song well I like some part more then others....but whats I like best about it is it sounds unique
This is a really special track! So smooth and melodic! The percussion sparkles! I like how this is just slightly glitchy, some glitchy vocals would be perfect for this! Sounds great my friend! Faved for sure!
Cool gritty, almost down-tempo vibe to this mate. Makes me think of those action-thrillers from the late 70s & early 80s (where free form Sax was emphasized alot). Though the beats on this make me think more Glitch than Breaks (but I'm not gonna turn into a whiny purist on ya here). I'd say that ya did a pretty good job of fusing the styles here (and will pleasant results too). Cheers!
cheers fella. this was just a quick one, but the beats feel quite primal -its like my inner rhythm and im glad i managed to get it out. Hooe you liked!
Sorry to hear about yer puter mate. Can really say that I feel your pain on that one (since I've had 3 crap out on me). I'd say that this is really nice for your first time back in the saddle for a while. Its kinda odd, how those absent gaps cause our stuff to sound better when we do come back. Perhaps its the hunger of it all or maybe its just the flexing of old muscles again, dunno. That's why I do self-imposed vacations every now and then (as to not get stale and all that). Getting back to the song, you've thrown so much at us its kinda hard to just focus on one thing. I'd say that the synth treatment is what I like the best about this (and the drums come in right behind that, there's even one part that kinda reminds me of something I did ages ago). Dunno how I feel about the voc-sams you threw on here, but that's prolly just my preference. At any rate, nicely done. Def save/faved. Lates!
Its ok now - i set it up on my work computer :) oops. But yeah this one was a weird one - the groove just came together in 5 seconds but i was like - this things got legs! made me want to dance when i added the beat so i thought i would continue. in the end i added quite alot of random parts together so never quite sure that its as i want, but for now its groovy. thanks for reviewing buddy
Cheers John - i basically cut up an intro and mixed those sounds up all over the joint. added a beat, some fills and some effects and thats it. the bass was already in there. going to come back to this at some point but cheers for the review
The beats n scratches on this are wicked. Interesting counter-play there too (and I dunno why, but those drums sound vaguely familiar, dunno where I heard 'em before). And the bassline on this is killer (got my subs twitchin, srsly). I'd almost love to hear this with just the elements listed above, because...
On the tech-side, ya might wanna punch yer guitar leads (?) down just a tad, because they seem a bit overwhelming (and kinda sound like a car alarm going off). Also, keep in mind the tonal quality when it comes to this being played at higher volumes (say at a concert or club... don't wanna have yer fans grabbing their ears in agony, ya know). Sequence-wise, I'd say that you were pretty on point. Dunno if I'd recommend using a different sound font or just doing some adjustments to the one ya got now (because it does have a real HH quality to it, kinda makin me think of DMX for some reason). At any rate, cool stuff mate. Lates!
It's funny that you mention french house, because Daft Punk was the major inspiration for my latest track (haha, sorry, end shameless self-plug). Let's check out your stuff here.
Play 2 now...
This is absolutely superb mate. You've captured that whole FH vibe 100 here. I'm really digging yer synth treatment here. And beyond the filters it kinda seems like were on the same page when it comes to arranging (with 'machine gun keying' as I've been call it).
On the tech-side, the only thing I could think to suggest is to maybe punch up the kicks vol (or and another channel of just kicks) to give 'em more definition (coz with my sub when its all the way down I can hardly hear 'em). You also might wanna humor the idea of adding some vox to this (maybe just a lil something in the middle to add extra flavor, ya know). Otherwise, this is excellent. Def save/faved. Cheers!
Thanks for the review man. Love the effort you make. For me the things i want to take a look at is to add a bum-bum-bum bass part to phatten up those sections and add a couple of extra fills where i reckon they would help, but definitely hearing you on the kicks, could easy punch them up and make it hit hard. I also want to get some glitchy vocals in there, something gritty and wordy - like oh yeah and baby or something clever like that :) Vocals always add a little something somehow dont they.
