Hi Spiv, thanks for that direction on the bass, it's sounding real good now on lots of different systems which is key for this albums success.

Cheers, Slap...

on Dancing with the Carnival Rebellion feat Nuada by n0mad23

[This and previous reviews are to Draft 1 and pre-vocal additions]

Those bagpipes are awesome! I love the parts where the music degrades into rhythmic experimentation! With this song I think you could coax any hesitant group into rebellion! Like others have said, this is very psychedelic! Love the soundscape! You put so much feeling into your tracks, I'm very impressed! Faved for sure!

n0mad23 replied Unknown

Been discussing TechnoShamanism with Salook a lot, and I'm coming to the conclusion that Psychedelic music ties directly into the tradition (as it's being invented - lol). Still got some ideas to try to incorporate into this, and get the impression from the reviews that I'm on the right path here! Thanks!

on SPEX - Ghetto side by SUBSPORT

This is a really unusual track my friend! I like the vocals a lot, they are trippy! Awesome drums! You have some real talent man! I love this! Faved for sure!

on A Forest by SoulRider

Oh man I love this! The dark vocals are perfect for this track! Never thought of doing a dubstep version of a song like this, but it really works! I am pretty obsessed with the Cure, so it's awesome to see a cover song pop up! Love the bass line on this one! The mixing is really well done too! But I have to say the vocals are the best part of the song! Faved for sure!

on Times Like These by BrokenScythe

Heard Nuada's work with this beat, and had to come hear the original! I'm really digging the vibes on this beat! Great bass line! The instrumentation is really cool! This flows really well! Great instrumental! Faved for sure!

on Zoo Saxobones by SLAPJOHNSON

Quite an inspiring track! I really like that bass line, though maybe it could use a little more low end. All those horns are awesome, and are really well played! The flute solo rules! Explosive dynamics on the mix! Really fine work my friend!

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown

Hi SpivKurl, I have tweaked the bass now. In logic you have a sub bass plug in which I think has added the required extra bottom that was needed. I thank you for your honest input in helping this track grow.

Cheers, Slap...

on Jah Love (DirtyMix) Ft Lux Divon By Blume Choon by BlumeChoon

Yeah, you don't really need wobbles on this one I think! I like the bass that you've got on here, it's nice and mellow! Very cool vocals! Really effective arrangement too! This mix is very dynamic, I like it a lot! Well done! Faved for sure!

BlumeChoon replied Unknown

Yeah that's what I was feeling too. Just keeping it chill and dark works better. If I would've added the wobbles it might have taken away from the song. Lux's vocals are dope and perfect for my style of tunes. I really appreciate the review Spiv. I always look forward to hear from you man. You alwayas give great and honest reviews. And I respect and appreciate that. Thanks 4 stopping in to have a listen. For your great review and also of course for fav'n it!!!

Blume:)

on Sekko - I Love My Babe by Sekko

I like your old school synth sounds! The beat is bouncy and very well mixed! Bass could use a little more power, maybe just simply EQ'ing is needed. Overall a very fun track!

Sekko replied Unknown

Thanks man. I've toned down the kicks in my last two techno/hard tracks intentionally, and the bass here, because people used to complain it's too heavy in most of my previous tracks. I'll probably keep going with the heavier bass though...
