on instru mental by FreeRadical
Dont know how you keep it up mate but another great mix. As Techno as it gets but listen-able Techno not really into that banging hardcore stuff! Class mix as usual.

Too much time on my hands is how i keep up. I just had to adjust the bass on the first part as it was in the wrong key. Headphones are a pain in the arse.
Cheers for dropping in and giving your support as usual.

on You Speak To My Soul by Badhuman
Wow mate superchill!! Is that Eshar's golden tones at the beginning?
This is so laid back and a joy to listen to! its a shame its only 2 mins long!! I think you should have made it at least 5!! This is wonderful. You cant beat a Rhodes for chill out. and a bit of funky wah giutar!! Beautiful.
Badhuman
Badhuman replied 12th Jul 2014 - 11 years ago
Eshar it is! The Rhodes is one of the greatest instruments ever invented. Rivals the electric guitar in innovations that have changed the world. Someday I might expand this track. It should have been longer.

on Tiesto-Take Me-Who Ate Da Muffin Remix by WhoAteDaMuffin
Hi mate, this is a really good track, more Dance than deep house I think, but its sounding so professionally done! In fact it sounds a bit too good. Its mixed and produced to such a good level. Very well done my friend. Keep the good work!!

on Mo Deep House by FreeRadical
Just for a second I thought I was going to hear one excellent track!!?? Should have known better! Three of course!! Track 3 is the stand out one for me, track 1 then 2. All good of course! Nice synth @ 2:18 !
FreeRadical
FreeRadical replied 8th Jul 2014 - 11 years ago
Cheers. It's just too easy to hit the ten minute mark when you're using loops. Hopefully it's not ten minutes of paperweight (AKA Helmet Mayonaise) I would have like track three to have gone on for longer but i ran out of room so just had to settle for a fade out.
Cheers for listening as always (I see my number one fan is back with eight downloads to her name. What's with that chick? lol)

What a lovely ambient piece here, haunting and relaxing at the same time. Excellent production on the track too.

on Jonestown Massacre by kelanuvelle
Wow mate, I take it you're signed to some big label somewheres? You must be with velvet tones like those!! Amazing sound you have going on here, and I cant believe that sound comes from loops of here! This track is sounds just beautiful from start to finish!! Loved it and faved!!
kelanuvelle
kelanuvelle replied 21st Jun 2014 - 11 years ago
Thank you so much! And no label yet, I have to up my online/nationwide presence. NaturalBornkela(dot)com for more music. But this song is the only one made from looperman loops :)... so far. I'm making a new "looperman loop" beat as we speak lol.

Hi mate, lovely piano piece here. You certainly have a talent. I checked out the video by Pentatonix it was excellent, I also loved their version of Happy its a must see!!

on In Chelsea by BlackKasper
Laid back track here mate, nice ambient sounds in the background, I take it everything was ok during this time? thats how it comes across anyway. Im imagining a video shot from a car, tall skyscrapers shot in slow motion!! finishing with a sunset in the distance.

on Whenever Your Around - Jill Scott Cover - UPDATE by Mykael
Hi mate hows things? Smooooth sounds here and excellent production, sounds very professional production wise, I came across the wonderful Jill Scott while playing GTA4 with my daughter I wasn't very good at it so it and she helped me a lot so it became a daddy daughter thing, my favourite station was The Vibe and Jill Scott's Golden was on the playlist fell in love with it straight away and will always be one of my fave R&B tracks. Anyway keep up the good work. Paul.

Hiya Paul!

Long Time...I hope all is well with you and your music. I have been hurting my poor brain trying to figure out what GTA4 is, LOL...but whatever it is, it's great that it lead you to Jill Scott. Thanks for the encouragement and comments!

Love & Light,

Mykael

on A series of riffs by FreeRadical
Excellent fades here, if you could pull that off on a pair of decks i would be most impressed!!! Tracks 2 & 3 are stand out tracks here mate, for me anyway. Excellent work, as ever!
FreeRadical
FreeRadical replied 14th Jun 2014 - 11 years ago
Track 3? I thought that one was pretty pony and trap (still trying to get my head around the synths i bought and it aint easy)
Cheers for dropping by as always mate.

Hi mate, what a great sound. You really are starting to get a feel for the genre. Atmospheric is a good description or Intelligent D&B, I'm a big fan of the latter. Yes defo start with the bankers! ha ha

Hey man

Thank you for the review, glad you enjoyed the sound and feel of the piece, but will be last DnB track for this year, maybe forever lol, might try again in future, but looking forward to uploading my next 2 genre tracks then back to trance...Peace n Respect Dude...Mosaic...

on Three Times House by FreeRadical
Dont know how you keep it up but well done, another masterpiece mate. The first and last tracks are the stand out ones for me. I think maybe you should try and do a complete a whole track from any of the ones you've done so far, what you reckon? ha ha.
FreeRadical
FreeRadical replied 1st Jun 2014 - 11 years ago
I keep it up because i'm currently a prisoner in my own home and i've got jack shit to do except make tunes and play xbox. You're right, i should do a complete track but way i see it is that we get ten minute slots so we might as well use them up.
Cheers for dropping in as always.

Sounding great mate, its going to be massive in India I bet! This is defo one for the tour!!
FreeRadical
FreeRadical replied 31st May 2014 - 11 years ago
So far i "think" my four downloads are legit (yeah right)
But i'm not happy with this. The bass drum on the first part is too clicky and theres stuff in the second part i don't like as well. To be honest i only posted it because i've got nothing better and i'm trying to move away from using loops all the time. I have synths now so there's no excuse.
Cheers for dropping in as always mate.

on Lazy featuring Rachel Clark by FreeRadical
sounding good mate, if I can make a suggestion? that bass line at the beginning fits really well with the vocal, if i was remixing i would bring it right up and let it do the buisness and build a whole track round them both. The second part sounds more tech house, or prog even! Money well spent anyway! Long live the mini mix!!
FreeRadical
FreeRadical replied 26th May 2014 - 11 years ago
The trouble is that i didn't actually do anything on this track. I tried a few things which failed miserably and just sounded really cheesy (or like custard even). So the whole thing was just made out of loops. I keep having a go to see if i can come up with something but thus far nothing has worked.
But you're right. I should go back to making one track at a time again. Maybe i'll try sticking her through the vocal slicer and mucking about with that.
Cheers for dropping in anyway.

on Track 50 by FreeRadical
The big 5-0! well done mate, is this the way forward now? Mini mix?? Sounding good mate anyway. The first part was very old school and the second very new house, and then... Tourettes techno!! ha ha (think you just invented a new genre mate congrats!!) finishing with a bit of prog house! Nice one mate well done!
FreeRadical
FreeRadical replied 8th May 2014 - 11 years ago
Tourettes techno! Ha ha. I bought a sample pack called urban dance vocals from prime loops and one of the folders is just full of that cockney geezer swearing, so i thought i'd put it to some use.
You know what, I think the mix is the way forward because you don't have to do so many breakdowns and i don't like doing them all that much.
Anyway, glad you could drop by and listen to this mash up of loops and things.

on The Bigger The Fatter The Better by StaticNomad
Hmm music for people like me, with short attention spans!! Always something new to be heard in the mix! The drums sound abslolutely amazing I have to say, and the production is technically faultless! Well done.
StaticNomad
StaticNomad replied 2nd May 2014 - 11 years ago
Hello. Yes, I kind of also have a short attention span and do like to introduce new little parts on a constant basis. But I also like to have cool riffs and parts sit for a while so we get to hear them properly. And then I change other things around them to keep things interesting.

I have a great fear of making boring instrumental music that people say is OK but needs vocals. I believe I can do it all without a vocal and without loads of soloing (which can get pretty damn boring).

But this one is supposed to be a crazy, intense maelstrom of heavy madness and worship of the riff so no surprise that there are even more rapid changes than usual.

I'm good at spinning parts out and making more and more out of them through using effects, copying a synth part to a diffferent synth, changing the drum groove and so on.

Yes, drums are extremely powerful here. See my reply to thehumps for a little more detail. Not much skill from me in terms of the sound. It's really just about having good taste in how they fit with the other instruments and the variety in the playing. I probably spend as much time on my drums as my guitar playing.

Production is good though not quite faultless as there are some clipping clean leads, though I've done my best to hide them a bit. But I think I get away with it in this one as it's such an energetic and aggressive track.

All the best to you.

on Minette Fourie - InBetween-Cognac Remix by CognacXE
Hi mate what a great track. Trip Hop in my book! Simple but effective, you have worked the pella well, its minimal in composition and that's part of its attraction. Lovin it. Very well done!!

Ha ha! It's about the only track i've finished for ages so i thought i might as well post it. I've been a bit lacking in inspiration and techno doesn't require much effort, so techno it is.
Anyway cheers for dropping in and leaving comments on this piece of cock custard.
