on Tribal Warfare by StaticNomad
Hi mate, nice vibe going on here, a nice blend of ethnic and electronic sounds. What did you use for the main drums?
StaticNomad
StaticNomad replied 11th Aug 2013 - 12 years ago
Thanks. I guess by 'main drums' you mean that hip hop loop. Yes, it is a total classic and, for what it is, difficult to better.

I have used it in quite a few compositions at different tempos. You can too if you have Propellerheads Reason software. It is the very first drum loop loaded into the very first demo song in the very first version of Reason. Yes, it was so good I could not help using it over and over again.

I use very few drum loops these days as I've progressed to complex, detailed, programmed acoustic drums, which I much prefer (though a great loop is a great is a great loop).

Please listen to my track on this site called Circular Motion as the same drum loop features quite prominently in that one too. It's a much better track than this one and I made it about 13 years ago when I was only about 20. It's almost a fluke of a good composition as it stands out as being much better in terms of production than almost everything else I was doing around that time. It's also a nice blend of ethnic and electronic sounds. Actually, there aren't really ethnic sounds but ethnic scales/melodies so achieves a similar vibe.

I used to play in a thrash metal band years ago (well i say band, it was more like lets get pissed and jam at random)
I still love a good old fashioned bit of distorted guitar.
Cheers for the listen and the comment.

Hi mate, great track. Bonnies pella is just amazing you have worked it really well. Not too crowded in the mix and all the elements blend to give a haunting atmospheric sound!!
Observe

Thanks a ton for checking it out. I swear that humming made the song for sure. Really want to find more of it to blend with new tracks in the works.

on I hate it when they do this by FreeRadical
So do I!! Very Crystal Method sounding mate, which is a good thing. I would expect to hear this on Gran Turismo or something similar! Well done.
FreeRadical
FreeRadical replied 19th Jul 2013 - 12 years ago
I've heard that comparison before so i must get round to looking up the crystal method. If i could get a tune licensed to a game like Gran Turismo i'd be pleased as punch (and probably a bit better off as well.)
Thanks for listening.

on Been Missing You - FT Patricia Edwards by ElectronBlue
Love a bit of disco!! This sounds like an instant classic!Like Ive grown up with it! All the elements are there for a classic disco track. I think that amazing guitar is a bit understated, would love to hear it a bit more. As its your work you get to play around and remix over and over this is the addiction for me!! Great work my friend!!
ElectronBlue
ElectronBlue replied 10th Jul 2013 - 12 years ago
Just for you I will re mix the guitar to the front. Glad you like it.

on One Single Chance by Epip
Hi mate, loving this track!! Im guessing you did the bass line!!?? So funky. More R&B than Deep House but a tasty pleasure on the ears all the same!!
Epip
Epip replied 25th May 2013 - 12 years ago
Yeah I'm always confused when it comes to song labeling such as R&B or House if I use some elements of House and some of R&B what do I label it? When I first started writing music it was much easier to put a label on a song and get it right because there wasn't this huge explosion of genres back then.

on No Sleep Tonight by BunnieRabbit
Hi mate great track, would easily fit in the Trip Hop genre, (if we had one!) Insomnia we've all been there! For me its the none stop duke box in my head usually. I try to aim for no music after 6 pm. ha ha xx
BunnieRabbit
BunnieRabbit replied 15th May 2013 - 12 years ago
No music after 6pm!?! I'd never be able to do that! Once I decide I've been working on my own stuff for too long... it won't be 10 minutes before I'm off exploring new tunes :P

Peace
