This tune is savage yet melodic at the same time. I'm a big fan of that style and try to do it myself sometimes (with limited success) Love the phatness of the drum section and dig your melodies. I'm glad i found your page again because you do some blinding stuff. How about we try a collab sometime?
Be good to have you show yourself on the site again. It's a bit dead round here just lateley.
All the best,

on Super Happy Rainbow Song by Koukotsu

I saw your avatar whilst i was reviewing one of Spivkurls tracks so i thought i'd pay your profile a visit and check out some of your tunes. Haven't heard nothing from you for looooooong time. Anyway, this is sounding really cool, reminds me a little of john digweed with regards to the riff. I could listen to that all night. Anyway, the site aint the same without the old faces so where are you girl? You should come back because you make good tunes and what else are you doing anyway?
Kind regards (a very drunk) Free Radical (A.K.A. Nick Q)
It was good to see your avatar come up and even more of a pleasure to listen to your tune!!

on Flaming Monkey Apocalypse by Koukotsu

Everybody throw your hands in the air!!! Excellent deep trance track Koukotsu. There's a dark edgyness to this which always tickles my senses. In short, It kicks ass and it's my fav tune of the day.

on The Darkest Depths of Heck by Koukotsu

Hey! Where the hell have you been? I must have just missed ya until now.
Anyway, Liking the new material. Nice ringing noises and in a way reminds me a little of Sasha. This would go down well in a prog house set.

Koukotsu replied 23rd Mar 2012 - 13 years ago

Hi Nick! I'm glad you decided to come back.

I honestly don't hang out quite as much as I used to, I'm having a bit of trouble adjusting to this new layout, you know?

But, I have new songs in the works and there really isn't a better place than this to share them in spite of all the changes!

I've never really listened to Sasha but you've got me interested! I'll have to check him out soon.

Thanks for listening and letting me know your new name, I would have never found you otherwise!

on Super Happy Rainbow Song by Koukotsu

Super Happy Rainbow, kawaii name. (You called it Kablonk before ;))
Still, I love the song. It reminds me of neon tutus, neon tights, fuffy pink leg warmers, and cute fuzzy boots.
Hope to her more of your stuff soon,

-ShojoBeast

Koukotsu replied 13th Dec 2011 - 13 years ago

Thank you!

Yes, I decided that it really deserved a better title, and being the super happy sounding, colorful song that it is, "Super Happy Rainbow Song" it became, lol.

I've been kinda busy lately but I'm hoping to get re-dedicated to music-making real soon!

Thanks so much for the comment!

on Flaming Monkey Apocalypse by Koukotsu

Wow, yeah...big right enough! esp in the headphones here, raw energy yet soft on the ears, feeling the trace/euphoria vibe...very anthem like...dig all those interweaving click percussion sounds also...puts an edge on!, cool stuff :)

Koukotsu replied 13th Dec 2011 - 13 years ago

Thank you, glad you liked it! I've been using some dramatically different mastering techniques lately, like heavy compression and a very slight distortion effect on the entire track, it really spices things up I think!

I've shifting back into "soft and fluffy" mode as the winter sets in though, expect mellowness soon!

But I'll always have the occasional "paint peeler" in the works though, lol.

Thank you so much for commenting!

on Flaming Monkey Apocalypse by Koukotsu

always such a full sound you get, thru phones this just , big! i can see the flaming monkeys reference...hah, not so much the tacos...great breakdowns, this has a cinematic quality as well, very nice K -dbl-

Koukotsu replied 13th Dec 2011 - 13 years ago

Ha ha, that gated lead synth just sounds too much like a flaming monkey for it to be named anything else!

My newest track will most likely be a little less ferocious than some of the ones I've been dabbling with lately, winter is setting in and I'm feeling more mellowed-out, lol.

Thanks a bunch for leaving a comment, sorry it took me so long to reply!

ShojoBeast 2nd Nov 2011 14:42 - 14 years ago

on Flaming Monkey Apocalypse by Koukotsu

Wow....Is it just me or are you totally making your titles a bit...harsh? I dunno, but this is very nice. Even if it is a flaming monkey apocalypse. I thought it sounded like a taco....
Still, nice track.
-ShojoBeast

Koukotsu replied 2nd Nov 2011 - 14 years ago

Ha ha, yeah it might be a tad bit "violent," but the sound just really makes me imagine I'm being savagely attacked by a swarm of flaming monkeys, lol!

I was a bit angry at the time because my precious laptop computer fried as well :(

But I'm fine now! I think?

Anyway, thanks so much for leaving my first new Looperman site comment!

on Chrysanthemum by Koukotsu

Lovely piece. I agree it has your "signature" sound and I like this one a lot. I hope to get back myself soon to Looperman but this is my fix for a bit. :) Thanks.

Koukotsu replied Unknown

Thank you!

Hopefully I can get my laptop fixed soon, until then this one is lost, lol.

Thanks for the review!

on Fluff by Koukotsu

This is great. Everything sits well together. I like all the individual sounds and the combination. Great chil material. A download for me K.

Koukotsu replied Unknown

This is one of my personal favorites too, one of those "I can only do this once a year" songs!

But yeah, it's now trapped on the harddrive of a dead laptop, lol.

Thanks for the reviews!

blackryan 31st Jul 2011 16:01 - 14 years ago

on Chrysanthemum by Koukotsu

Like it K. Like that deep bass and the awkward melody. Very chilled. I can see tha AFX influence. A bit Selcted Ambient Works 2 only more happy and slightly uptempo. Good job.

Koukotsu replied Unknown

Thanks!

Sadly, my good computer finally died on me and took quite a few good tracks with it, including this one!

I'll get it working again one day though, lol.

Thanks for the review!

on A song called W by Koukotsu

Hey your back! I don't know if you remember me on the site, i was neoenigma on here before. i had a sort of falling out as well. bannment as well lol anyways very creative track you have going here. indeed tranceful heavy, can hear this in the club and just zone out to it. excellent track! regards

-i don't remember a situation like that but regardless i accept your apology?? lol see ya round

Neobane

Koukotsu replied Unknown

Hi there!

I think I remember you; are you the one that made that post and I came in and got all bitchy at you for no good reason?

Sorry about that, lol :(

I was dealing with some "personal issues" back then, but I've matured quite a bit in the off season, I hope.

Thanks for listening and reviewing! I've been a little busier than usual (If you can call playing Little Big Planet 2 all day "busy") but I'll come give you some reviews real soon!

on Chrysanthemum by Koukotsu

This is so chilled. But got a fabulous edge to it at the same time. Love the change ups from the synths. Normally i have more to say! but as im writing this and listening to your track....i really dont know what to say! Love it, wish i could make something chilled, boppy and mellow, like this!!
ThatcheR

Koukotsu replied Unknown

Thanks!

The last couple of tracks I created were a bit on the rowdy side, so I decided it was time to tone things down for this one.

I'll come repay you as quickly as I can, but I'm getting really far behind now, lol! I've been busier than usual lately and don't have quite as much time to dedicate to this site as I used to.

CyberSon 14th Jul 2011 15:12 - 14 years ago

on Chrysanthemum by Koukotsu

This is really cool! I really liked the ambience of the melodies. Great synths and an awesome rhythm that flowed effortlessly throughout the whole track. A sea of calm!

Totally brilliant! An outright fave!

Koukotsu replied Unknown

Thank you!

I was considering adding more to it, but I'm growing really fond of it's simplicity now.

Thanks for the review, I'll come check out a few of your tracks when I get some free time today!

ShojoBeast 13th Jul 2011 20:20 - 14 years ago

on Chrysanthemum by Koukotsu

It's weird, if I listen to one of your songs, you can always tell it's Koukotsu.
Strangely enough, it does feel like a chrysanthemum. A little white flower. I really like it. I will download when I have the chance. On to my iPod for listening.
Love your picture of Miku Hatsune. I really love her music.
Waiting to hear more....
-ShojoBeast

Koukotsu replied Unknown

I'm such a Mikutard! She's a much better singer than Katey Perry and isn't even human, lol.

I've thought about using her in some of my songs but most people would be driven insane!

...and I'm working on remixing one of Spivkurl's songs now, but it isn't going so well at the moment.

Thanks a bunch for stopping by!

Alen9R 11th Jul 2011 18:27 - 14 years ago

on Alergic To Cardinals by Koukotsu

Hey Koukotsu!

What a track, I really like the synths, which are constantly changing in rhythm and progression, also wicked drums ,bass and transitions! Great work and great track, fav. this one!

Alen

Koukotsu replied Unknown

Thanks a bunch!

I still need to work on the mixing a bit (the bass is a little out of control at times!) but I'm very proud of this one!

Thanks for stopping by, I'll come pay you back real soon!

Spivkurl 10th Jul 2011 21:00 - 14 years ago

on Alergic To Cardinals by Koukotsu

This is too cool! I love those sizzling drums! The synth sounds are awesome and well used! Very danceable stuff, and fun to listen to! Great work! Faved for sure!

Koukotsu replied Unknown

Thank you! For draft 3 I think taming that crazy bass is in order, it's a bit too gritty at times I think.

Really glad you liked it, and thanks for the fave!

Spivkurl 10th Jul 2011 20:29 - 14 years ago

on The Darkest Depths of Heck by Koukotsu

This is a very good track! I love the interplay between the synths! Your arrangement and automation is awesome! I like the part where everything sounds far away, that's really creative! This is actually pretty danceable! Faved for sure! It's really good to have you back!

Koukotsu replied Unknown

I can never get enough automation! I really wanted to capture that "noisy neighbor blasting annoying music really loudly" sound on those far away parts, lol.

Thanks a bunch for the review, I'll be working on that remix in my spare time this week, hopefully it won't disappoint!

Salook 10th Jul 2011 20:18 - 14 years ago

on Chrysanthemum by Koukotsu

Just love how benevolent this is...warm and gentle, really pleasant on the ears here, good stuff as always, you haven't lost your amazing touch....must admit I like your edgy tracks lol but I am hungover today and feeling a little tender...so this is just the stuff! keep up the good work K

Koukotsu replied Unknown

Being a typically benevolent and gentle person, this is the sort of sound I tend to gravitate toward, lol.

But yeah, there is nothing wrong with a little variety every now and then!

Sorry to hear about the hangover! I stopped drinking altogether about 2 years ago but I remember how horrible they can be, lol.

Thanks a bunch for the review, I'll make sure to repay you real soon, I'm getting really behind!

Spivkurl 10th Jul 2011 03:10 - 14 years ago

on Chrysanthemum by Koukotsu

Now, this I like! Great groovy synth work! Wonderful mixing on all these sweet sounds! Good flow to the drums! I can understand your choice of titles. Great work on this one! Faved for sure!

Koukotsu replied Unknown

Thanks a bunch!

The "less is more" approach did this one justice, unlike some of my other mixing atrocities, lol.

I'll come by and listen to what you've been up to real soon!

yeshintae 10th Jul 2011 02:56 - 14 years ago

on Chrysanthemum by Koukotsu

really enjoyed tha MELLOWNESS
of this track...

your synth work is always top notch...
real groovy drummage...
get me head nodding from tha very beginning
:D

NICE TO HEAR A NEW ONE ;)
ahahahaha

keep it UP

Much Respect from LA

Koukotsu replied Unknown

Thanks! I had quite a rough time trying to tame the lead synth on this one. (step sequencers are such a pain, lol.)

I'll probably be updating this one soon, I just feel like I could do so much more with it, but I'm pretty pleased with it already!

I'll get you back tomorrow I promise, but it's bedtime for now, lol.

on Alergic To Cardinals by Koukotsu

Sojobeast took the words right out of my mouth, "allergic to cardinals ?" haha! I do like how you used an everyday event for the title.

Hey K, this is cool, no complaints here. I'm sure if you rework it you could tidy things up but overall it is a very good song idea with some nice dynamics, well done!

Wayne

Koukotsu replied Unknown

Hi there!

I've been tweaking it a bit in my spare time today, but mixing this one is like trying to cram and elephant into a shoebox, lol.

Thanks for the review, I'll be visiting your profile real soon!

ShojoBeast 26th Jun 2011 19:14 - 14 years ago

on Alergic To Cardinals by Koukotsu

Alergic to Cardinals?
lol, that's one of the funniest alergies I've ever heard of! Sorry, but it's true.
Sounds like you're taking it out on cardinals with this sound. I really like this tune though. Waiting for more to come.
-Lil Miss Shojo

Koukotsu replied Unknown

Hi!

Sorry to take so long to reply, I've been having some computer issues lately!

And yep, I was attempting to capture the essence of those ferocious feathered fighting fiends, that's why it's a bit on the rowdy side, lol. Plus I've been listening to a lot of rock albums lately.

Thanks so much for reviewing, I finally have some free time to devote to repaying everyone now!

As usual some great sounds in this Jess! Great stuff!

Jamie.

Koukotsu replied Unknown

Thank you!

I'll probably be getting back to my softer sound real soon, I've just been on a "hard" kick from listening to so much Rock music lately, lol.

Thanks again, I'll come by and review a few more of your tracks when I get my work out of the way today!
