Nice laid back vibes Matt. You hold yourself to a high standard of music quality. I respect you for that as a fellow artist and as a listener. The J1K beat is all the way dope. Your boy X did it right too. This tracks got soul!!! Holla at me if you ever make it back down to CO. Peace!

on Look At Me featuring X and J1K by thephilosofist
Hey man..that's some smooth groove you've got going down here....love the way the sample vocals resonate throughout the composition.....there's a very slight harshness to the flow compared against the 'I'm in love' vocals and unfortunately there's only one way to fix it properly...capital investment! lol... seriously,if they had of been done through a top line Neumann M147 tube mic running out of an Avalon 737 tube pre..well the vocal boundaries would be sweet as and ringing like a bell....there's plenty of software EQ's and filters you can use but nothing beats the real deal,I only mention this because to get a great track like this that tiny incremental boost,and that feeling of real 'breathing air' it requires the best equipment to do it..it's why Hip hop samples so many old school pieces in some respects I guess...I wish I had some of that equipment! lol...excellent work!... cheers Dave

thanks dave! sorry for never responding to your last email about bass grooves, I've been busy as all hell with trying to get my life together over these last few months.

really appreciate the technical jargon y'all throw into the reviews now, seems I never really got that before. I'm definitely going to invest in a better setup, but I hear what you mean. there is NO way I am purchasing that quality...hehehe but I can always dream! have a good one, keep in touch.

Hello thephilosofist,

What a treat this is. Runs through the veins and keeps topping them up. The bass you put out of my speakers is awesome. Lovely synth work and the drums are real nice. Off to stick it in my Looperman playlists.

Thank you for the top listen and also for the download.

Regards, Paul.

Wow, this track had me thinking of the 80's for some reason, particularly The Goonies LOl. Love those synths and the beat is straight from leftfield but works superbly. Great job on this bro.

I can see what Cyberson means with the Orbital comparison. I used to listen to them a lot and this wouldn't be out of place on one of their albums.
Nice and chilled all the way and i especially like the "woowoo" synth.
Well done.

Wow, this is epic! Great synth work! I think the drums stand out as sounding really good! You should totally keep it up, because this is some heavy hitting stuff! Awesome!

This is so sweet my friend, in fact no, it's awesome!

It's got a smooth ambient, electronic trip vibe to it that just flows beautifully, taking the listener to another world.

Not sure if you're into Orbital, but they we're an awesome electronic duo, famed for quality, atmospheric electro work. I can imagine that if this was one of their tracks, their fans would be totally stoked!

Absolutely fantastic my friend! I totally, totally love it! Downloaded for much more future enjoyment!

i still think that sound in the beginning is too stutter-y, it sounds a little jagged. love the tune though, obvs.

You see? You've made me curious!....Told you....Put vocals to a track and it's a whole new beast.

The lyrics are amazing. Totally loving this one. Going in my all time fav.

Would have loved those vocals a bit more compressed and upfront as they are the one that take the listener to a new level.

The beat is out of this world and the flow is as professional as it gets.

Very very cool.

A major thumbs up!

thanks Malu. you're one of the few reviewers who has an opinion I can trust. I agree with the vox issue, but this was when I was still figuring out my microphone. I think the next few songs will be just fine :)

as far as vox go on the other song, I wasn't planning on adding any. but maybe it would be a good idea at this point seeing as how so many people have asked me to. thanks for the advice, I will keep it in mind!

Interesting!

I'm having a bit of trouble picturing the focus of the song but that's probably because you didn't add vocals and being given you are a great rapper you should have added them. lol!

I like the vibe those synths bring to the whole thing. Makes the whole thing step in the psychedelic realm and boy you can flow there.

I like the melody synth very uplifting.

All in all I must say this was a pleasant surprise.

Best wishes!

I have to agree with Bear here,I was aware that you had excellent vocal skills.....if you can successfully merge this with your instrumentation (which surely is a given)your home free....I was thinking this is very Synth Hop and low and behold that's exactly as you described it!lol..the way your mixing the recurrent melody is great,the added affectations of bass and rhythm hits make this something that isn't repetitive in the least so it flows and feels fresh...excellent work! and I'm sure there's a lot more to come!..cheers Dave

thanks dave. I have plans in mind for songs with vocals already underway. I'll have to stop by your page soon to check out what you've been doing, you were one of the first usernames I began to recognize here on the loop.

Brother, this is fantastic....not sure where to start....

Who knew you were this talented and could produce a track like this. Heck, I always thought you were probably one of the best rappers on the Loop, but now I've got to adjust my thinking and throw in producer/composer/arranger/musician.

That's a lot of hats and you obviously wear them all well.

This is top shelf work my friend. As good as it gets (that bass is awesome). I'm glad you decided to start back into the beat making business. The only thing that would make this one better is a bit of thephilosofist vocal work :)

Brilliant work, absolutely brilliant. I hope all is well.
