on Insane Sane by GSUS
Really liking this one. The stuttered robotic voice is awesome but as the others have said you need some more punch in your drums. Rather than making them louder make everything a bit quieter so they kick through the mix a bit.

Really interesting sound here. It's not 100% refined but very raw and beautiful. Love what you've done!

Great melodies in this. Reminds me of some Pendulum stuff. Great vibes man, keep up the solid work.

on C'est Interessant by Kazm
Very interesting intro, loving the glitch f/x. The acapella needs to be poking through the mix a bit more. the EQUO equalizer has a good 'vocals enhancer' preset to help with that.

Love that synth around 4mins, very dissonant, very nice.

Great outro too.

Good work all in all my friend.

Kazm replied Unknown
Ahar, no glitch on this dude XD I did it all manually :D.

Thanks for the review and advice.

Peace.

on Gunshot Wound by Kazm
Nice beat man, very good use of sample, sounded great. Bassline is very, well, I can't really think of the word.
You know those things you get, about 7 inches long, and they slip right through your hands and stuff. Imagine someone slapped you with one of them, and you got knocked out, that bassline is the sound you'd hear. Wait, I remembered what I was gonna say, it's really resonant and mushy, I know what you're thinking, why don't I just go back and replace that stupid description with what I actually meant to say but I thought you'd like to read it.
Very well produced track all in all, lots of nice effects and variation which makes a track go from good to great. Good job brah.
Kazm
Kazm replied Unknown
Potentially the best review ever? I think so.

Thanks for your words, dude :D

Peace.

on All that Jazz? by Peres
Very very nice, right from the start. Great pad, really nice drum beat and that piano sounds amazing. You've worked very well with the instrmuents to make an excellent finished product.

I know those loops! Thanks for using mine :D
The track sounds great, good work with the vox sample.

on Untitled Dubstep Track 2 by Kazm
Mmm, good bass. Just the 3 oscillators? Did I ever send you thing with 30? :D I like the wobble on this one, just beef out the whole song and it'll be a good 'un.

Bye bye.
Kazm
Kazm replied Unknown
Hey man.
Cheers for the review. 4 oscillators, to be precise, a single sine wave for the sub ini XD.

And yeah, you did send me that shizzle, interesting stuff :).

Peace.
Kii.

on Jungulation Victor by n0mad23
For a dirty track, this is really groovy. I'm liking the chord progression and that distant reverberated tuned idiophone. Speaking of idiophones, those awesome steel drums just came in. Maaan they are sweet. I really really like this track. Honestly man, I think this is fantastic.
n0mad23
n0mad23 replied Unknown
Thank you kindly! The steel drums are almost verbatim of a set used on Frank Tovey's "Civilian" album, and this track really was created as an evolution spinning out from this loop. So the entire song is really inspired by a piece of punctuation. Thanks to victormusic01x for that loop in particular as it's the key. I've got 5 versions as drafts of this one now, and it may be my best bit of jungulation to date (imho). Still haven't found the 2:30 version yet!

on Minor Setback by Spivkurl
This track has a very full sound, whether that's the choice of synths or the eqing I'm not sure. Maybe it's both! A lot of energy with very interesting synths. I love that vocoded sample.
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied Unknown
Thanks for taking time to listen! I did do a lot of EQ'ing on this track to expose the underlying layers. I mastered it pretty heavilly too, to keep the mix pumpin. The vocoder came from my Microkorg. Thanks for the review!

on Silence WIP by Kazm
There's an ambulance siren outside perfectly in sync with this track, it's OSSUM. See what I did there? Love the glitch variation, works very well. That' all for now.
Later.
Kazm
Kazm replied Unknown
Cheers for the review. I'm contemplating turning this track into half gabber, half dubstep. Gabberstep?

Peace.

on I GAVE feat HOLLY by CalifKen
Woah, this is funky. I love what you've done with that acapella. I've heard it raw and you've mixed it up so well. Overall impressions of the song, very good, very good.
Keep it up.

Thanks so much, I really enjoyed it too. Appreciate the comments.

on Soul (within) ft holly instru by Rtdabombnetwork
I think this is only the second RnB track I've listened to on the site, I've always had this thing that RnB isn't what it used to be and isn't real Rhythm and Blues, but this track wipes away all my misconceptions. I love the slicing you've done with the vocal and other loops.

Good job on this one,
Peace.

on Aurora by Avail
Starting a review is always hard for me, so I figured by saying that it should be easier.
Really good choice of pads. Piano is very nice. Do you play yourself or program through MIDI?
Brilliant transition between the piano and the gate. That bass hits hard.

You mentioned in the description that it turned out softer than you hoped it to, but I think it worked very well.

All in all, top notch track.
Good job my friend.
Avail
Avail replied Unknown
Thanks Helix. I use MIDI, nothing can go wrong. I already regret saying that ¬ ¬

I'm glad you liked it, as for the hardness thing i just think i kept the piano too long and left it mellow in the start so it gets harder eventually. which makes it seem "softer" ?
Don't know.

Well thanx again

on like my ancesters by Dj4Real
Very upbeat, got my head nodding to the beat. Quality seems a bit low but I guess that's just how it was rendered.
Dj4Real
Dj4Real replied Unknown
yes it was rendered low...i started rendering high after my first few tracks or so..

on Frogmarch by Kazm
Drums are like, woaah. Even though this has been playing a lot in my house I haven't properly listened to it yet. Really like what you've done with the bass, the glitch is almost unnoticeable it flows so well [that's a good thing]

Chat soon.

on This Feels Much Better by EnkiDubstep
Very nice full sound, really meaty.
Great use of that vocal.
Looking forward to the finished version, I want to hear a nice wobble on this one :D

Hehe, cheers, I put in a bassline the other day...I'm looking forward to the finished product myself, (Y).

on Pulse Final Mix (Mastered by Travis Huckins) by Salkizar
Woaaaaaaaaaaaaaah how did I miss this track?
I really do like this one, you are becoming my favourite artist on this site, everytime I hear one of your songs I'm just blown away. This one is so airy, the contrast between acoustic sounding synths and more synthetic synths works very well. I looooove the guitar style synth that comes in half way. That just blew my mind.
As always, amazing track.
Can't wait for more from you.
Salkizar
Salkizar replied Unknown

on Bonobo challenges the Electrical Storm by n0mad23
Very nice, The wall of sounds in this, the mesh that fits so perfectly together, like a jigsaw. The pieces slotting perfectly together. It just works.
I can say no more.

Fantastic.

Thanks. The dub approach is a lot of fun, and the pallet I've drawn from certainly makes all the difference.

on Wadada by jahknow
Mmm wobble.
Great intro, groovy drums are cool, I like the reggae sense in it, nice upbeat happy dub. Awesome acidey synth at 1:40, I really love that.
Great track.

P.S, this is my 300th review :D

on Helix - Formally Installed V.2 (Kazm Remix) by Kazm
Ooh yeah, I like it.
Great slicing on the amen, sounds awesome.
Generally speaking throughout the song it feels more thick and powerful and in my opinion is far better than the original track.
Good job friend, good job.
Kazm
Kazm replied Unknown
Not better, different. Remember dude, this wouldn't have been possible without your track.
Thanks for letting me do this dude. I think this has turned out to be my best track to date.
Thanks for the review.
Peace, brah.
Kii.

Woah, this is incredible. As I've said before, you manipulate noise very well, thus I am giving you the title Professor of Noise.
As always, great track.

on Hang Me With These Strings (Wash Away My Pain) by YourzTruLee
Man, that crash cymbal is awesome. Keys are great, they fuse really well with the strings. I love the low tones of the reverberated bass drum and they higher strings. Works very well together. Keep it up.
