on Dark House by Mokeone
I really love it's overall composition because everything is so upbeat it gives this an added energy.
If you wanna make a House track just remember a few things/tricks...
Drums- The more basic the better and be sure that they have a heavy emphasis on the kicks, the hi-hat, and a third (like a clap or cowbell)
Bass- Usually mimics the drums with a basic theme (but sometimes its cool to lace other aspects into it, like an additional channel of just a flowing up and down, humming tone). Think of the kick as Boom and the bass as Bum and try to have them interlace on another like Boom, bum, boom, bum or bum bum bum, boom, bum bum bum, boom.
Once you have these two the rest just kinda falls into place easily. This is where you start to picture what the song so far reminds you of genre-wise with other stuff (like does it remind you of Latin America and Salsa-type stuff or does it seem darker and grittier, where Urban or Industrial styles would serve it best).
It's also keen to keep in mind House's roots and how it sounded in it's infancy. So giving it a soulful, retro, or disco feel adds to it's appeal/flair.
Sorry for that long ass lecture thingy. I really like this tune man. May even D/L it. Lates!
on Wadda Ya Call It by Mokeone
Which also reminds me of something (at around the 1:30 mark). I've got a loop that I think you'd really like (and might just be a nice fit there) entitled 'Sark Steps' that I needta upload on here after this.
I might haveta download this and add it to my Looperman collection. Thanx bud!
on Heavy Duty by Mokeone
This one reminds me of a wicked blend of Gravity Kills and KMFDM. The only thing that would make this track any sweeter would be the addition of vocals (a girl with attitude or a guy with supressed anger, kinda like the chicks from Kitty or Hard Knox or the guys from Staind or Type-0 Negative). I might haveta forward this to my buddy DJ Minox coz I think he'd really dig it. Lates!

It's pretty nice for being your first one. Very structured and organized. There is some flightiness, but it ties together well. Thanks for sharing this with us mate. Cheers!
on Sinister Moods by Mokeone
I could see this one scoring a thriller or suspense film. Kinda like A Clockwork Orange meets Halloween takes on House of Wax and Resident Evil something or other. C-c-creepy!
on Island Fun by Mokeone
If I do make a spin off I'll prolly try to keep the same percussion vibe, but will switch the snyth stuff to bass. Rawk on!

on Going Wild by Mokeone
For yer request, step 1- go to Jacksonville, NC. step 2- scope the killer local metal/rock scene. step 3- find a band to collab with. step 4- set up a gig at any 1 of the number of cool establishments for 'em there. step 5- play, wow, and enjoy!
on Is There Hope by Mokeone
This track kinda reminds me of the scores for certain action arcade games of yesteryear. Namely FPS's and starfighter sims. Kinda like there's a large unknown force approaching with hostile intent and our side has to assemble to fight 'em off with loads of laser beams and power-ups. Rawk on mate, rawk on!
