First of all, you have a great sound, crystal clear and vibrant, with powerful bass. Your arrangement is truly beautiful, and the way you incorporate vocal samples and synths is more than effective, making your song stand out as something special.
Best regards, Anthony
Well, look what the big cat dragged in... Dope piece. I haven't listened to your other tracks yet, but after hearing this, I'll definitely be checking out more of your work. This is great. The vibe, the production, and the overall feel really grabbed my attention from the start. Looking forward to hearing what else you've got. Keep it up!
Those are some really nice words man! Appreciate it a lot. My older music is part of the learning process and have grown since then(I think). I will drop some of my latest work on here soon and hope it has teh same positive impact. For now my humble thanks for listening and your kind words!
Wow man, we really like the vibe! Great song. We are the Monzder Squadd, we've been around for a few years but our producer Pnnywze has been involved in the community here for 6 or 7 years now. Anyway, we collaborate alot with the community here, our music is a hybrid of hip hop/trap, heavy metal and industrial, and there are 8 of us in the group including Pnnywze. Nice to see an absent community member return.
Thanks a lot guys! Glad to hear you like the sound of the track. I remember Pnnywze from my earlier days on LM. He has competiotion now on YT with the Pennywise - back in Derry track, hahaha! Maybe in the future we could collaborate on a track after finishing my album. I really like the warm welcome back from the community over here!
hello bro, its nice to see you around, its been a while,
great work lovin the vibes here,
melodies on point and the drums are knocking
and the wah wah was a great touch,
vocal chops were fresh good FX and i liked the added stylus too,
good track to come back with
Thanks a lot! Yeah, nice to be back and see all the old gods still around, hahaha! It is nice to hear that you liked the track. Always fun to hear fresh opinions on the done work.
Yes! mudhoen you've got it feeling like family reunion! This I'm back track is banging out the gate! Lo-fied Loveliness through and through. Melodies are definitely hitting right. The wah business in the last quarter was an tasty touch. Welcome back!
For sure hahaha! Really glad you liked the track. I will be listening to all the gems that have been made on here in the next few days. Nice to be back!
mudhoen! Those opening chords are weighty. Sweet guitar work. Mix is crystal clear. The work here is nice indeed. I'm trusting that all is well with you.
I dig it, man. I remember back in the early 90s when all of this was really taking off. I liked it then, too. It's something that I never really submerged myself in, but it was always on the outskirts of what I was doing, so I do still have a fond appreciation for it.
I absolutely love the intro. The sub and the kick are blended so well. I'm assuming you had to have sidechained, but I don't hear any ducking at all. Did you EQ the kick? It has the perfect mix of low end punch and that snap on the attack. It's very clear and present without overtaking.
The synth that comes in at 1:48 has a unique sound. There's a lot of dynamics and movement. You don't really realize on the first play through that the section leading up to it sets a perfect stage for it to really move around.
Another thing that is so well done here is the different textures of the bassline. For most of the track it almost has a Vibraphone sound to it, then at the start of the second dropout, it switches over to an almost harpsichord sound. Brilliant.
A lot of times people aren't sure where to go at the end so they fade it out. Not this one, I love the way you automated the ADSR from a high DSR into a pluck for the closing. Like slowly shutting the door on it, as to say "goodnight".
Good work, man. I'm thoroughly impressed. For such a minimal sound, you have a lot of work put into this. You should be proud.
Take care.

Thank you very much for your extensive review. I really loved the early deep house and a lot of the deep house you hear nowadays are remixes of well known songs. It is nice but doesn't really catch the vibe it used to. I tried to make a more authentic appraoch and I am glad I get so much positive reactons. Really happy with it. I used sidechain compression on the bass and even on the chords to make room for the kick. Then after I used a limiter to bring up the bass again and give it its lowend. I really like that you hear the details I have put in. They are the things that make a track more complete in my opinion. Thanks again for your review, made my day!
I totally agree with what is written. A well done piece of music oriented to the specific genre of house. Your sound is good and the overall impression is really intense and "colorful".
My best regards, Anthony.
Hey bro!
You know, I'm not an expert of this genre but what I hear is an absolute pro sounded track ... catchy tunes, huge drums, white noises ... and vocal fxes ...
welcome back my friend ...

Danke
I think Manuela makes some good points on this one. My suggestion is to take the BPM down 5 to slow it down to a better groove. There is an anxiety about this tune that could be relieved by that. Also some more percussion ideas. like when you drop to the synths only, use a high hat to continue the idea of the rhythm. I would look to some of the techno producers back in 2000 who were played at Tresor. There minimalist style melds with what you are trying to do here. It's very good.
It must be almost christmas getting these great tips and ideas from you and Manuela. I usually set my BPM around 130 and this one is 135 BPM. I like the jumpiness it creates but i definetly agree that overdoing it turns up he level of anxiety. I will go and try to play with the bpm some to see what fits better. Some extra percusion and hats are always a welcome addition if used well. Because i like how the drums turned out I kept some room for them to run almost solo. But again you are right about keeping the groove. I am very happy with your opinion. Love to learn from people like you!

the tune/melody grabs me, including the sort of cat meowing.
