on forsaken blunted mix by laviathin
Love the energy you build up on this track. This is what I think of when I think drum n bass. Nice work! Thanks for sharing!

on Far Away by TraXnCtrl
Really chill vibe to this one. It's not my style really, but I love the synths you used, they really carry the tone of the track. The more I hear, the more i like it. Thanks for sharing!

on delayed emotion (unfinished) (house competiton) by highz
Oh yeah, this makes me want to break out my record player. This sounds very circa 2000 to me. I really like the first breakdown too. I really like the sounds you chose as well. Nice work so far. Thanks for sharing!

on Melpomene Cantonese Version by Din
The way the song started, I was going to wonder about it being categorized as rock, but ROCK it does. I agree that the voice is good as well. This reminds me of Muse, except cantonese, of course. Thanks for sharing!

on Firefighter (XxYoung Collab) by DonnieVyros
OOOooh, I love the little funky plucky bass that you got goin on. This track definitely rolls so far, I like the way it ebbs and flows. Can't say I like firefighters though, I'm sorry, they stood by while the cops assaulted me during a grand mal seizure -trauma ya know. Great track so far though! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, that kinda sux, but that's one of the downsides to any uniform service. Side one, it's all about following orders. Side two, is the whole 'brothers in arms' thing that kinda teams everyone up to watch out for one another.
As for the track, I could prolly rename it 'fire truck' coz of the way it moves. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

on dear tempt by kmy
Never heard anything quite like this track, and I really like it. Has such a drugged out feel to it, even for punk. Nice one! Thanks for sharing!

on Enliven by Avail
I love the grittiness of this track. Makes me feel like there's something going wrong with my brain. Definitely has nice trancey edge to it, but I see why you listed it as house. Groovey track man! Thanks for sharing!

Avail replied Unknown - 2027 years ago
I guess the problem is in my brain. haha
I know it's pretty rave/trancy It's just that it was meant to be house so it still is :)

on Aco by delaroca
I wouldn't say that the build up is to slow, seems to feel right. Trance seems to be a good genre for you, but don't take that to mean you should stop experimenting. This one really reminds me of Sasha, which is cool, I don't hear a lot of people making trance like Sasha. Good progressions and sounds on this one. Thanks for sharing!

on In A New House by Dirtydowntowner
I really like the feel of this track, for some reason it puts me in mind of depeche mode. (not meant as an insult) The ambient resonant solos are really superb. You're not kidding, things really do pull together in the later part of the track - it's almost like two seperate tracks. Great use of dynamics, expecially in the second half, it gives the groove a lot of bite. Thanks for sharin the track friend!

on Black Fire - Ioka Flow by Ioka
Definitely hardcore in my opinion, even if it's not generic hardcore (all the better right?). I love the purposeful distortion on so many elements of the mix, and the glitchiness is really fun. Keep it up, hope to hear more!

on unfinished articulation by peopleareloudmovers
Ahh, that explains why this song went well in the background whilst I ground some herbs with a mortar. There was something so familiar with this song. I must play it again while I smoke. Thank you for sharing!

on Alexei Scutari - Unsuccessful chemical reaction by Scutal
Really cool beat creation on this one. I especially like the reverb going on in the high Q kick sound, it really seems to carry the track along. This sounds really late 90's to me for some reason, and that can't be wrong. makes me want to groove in an office chair, and that can't be wrong! Makes me wonder what chemicals reacted unsuccessfully, cuz it sounds okay. !)

on Angel of Electronica by Quantumhead6
Dang listening to the last two of your tracks made me want another double espresso. I liked this track a lot too. I can see that you were challenging yourself for sure when comparing to some of the techno work you've done. I must say that your techno get's me going a little more, and I love electronica. That's all personal preference though. I think your choice of sounds and mixing on this track was very good though.

on The Quantum Project by Quantumhead6
Nice beat so far, and as I'm learning you have a good ear for voice samples. It's so important to a good tech track, and this doesn't disappoint. I wish I had the guts to use such classic samples without worrying about the consequences. I like how things build up around 2:45 as well, it seems so intense. The track is smokin too, not just you! Oh no way ghostbusters samples!!! OMG holy crap this rocks. I think I'll fav this too!

A hundred thousand thank-you's Spiv. As soon as I heard Joe Pesci going on that anti-semitic rant, I just KNEW, I had to make a techno record around it. Lol. You are too kind mate, peace bro

on Tweety & Trance by Quantumhead6
I think I know that mashed head feeling, sometimes it worth it for a killer track, like in the case of this one! The vocal samples compliment the beat in a very special way. I can't say I've heard a track quite like this before, and I think I'll have to fav it too. The birds remind me of my backyard, they start to get agitated when I play my organ or synth too loud. It's groovy man, I'm going to go and see if you have some more tracks to hear. Thanks for sharing!

Whoa! Steady on Spiv, you'll give me an ego!! Lol. Seriously buddy, thank you soooooooo much pal. The entire reason I make music is so other people can enjoy it, so it's nice to see I haven't totally failed. Really appreciate the review

on SDx2 by brandonjames
Great tech feel hereand I'm loving the acid line around 30 sec or so, makes me wanta trip out! I might agree that the volume is pumped a bit too far, as I can't seem to turn it down enough to keep it from distorting. Could be intentional to, so who am I to say. Great groove man, keep em comin!

on The Curl by Acrylic
Definitely sounds aphex, and thus puts me in mind of a horrible time. You must have nailed it I guess. Don't be offended if I don't relisten to this one.

on Hold on by Dharo10
For some reason this song makes me sad... I love it though. Cinematic is an interesting classification, I guess I understand though, not like it matters. What matters is that this new work is fab and spectacular. Can't wait to hear more!

Dharo10 replied Unknown - 2027 years ago
Cheers for the review mate, the tune does have a meloncholic feel to it, glad you got it. Its meant to be part of a concept album with a kinda linear story. The next track will be uploaded in the next few days. Cheers again, Dhar

I really like the song, aside from the siren, but then I've got post traumatic stress... lol. This really sounds very 90's to me, which I can't complain about. Thanks for sharing!

on Rabbit's Road by DjnErU
Haven't heard this style of trance before, cool though. Sounds like it needs to be filled out a bit, I was going to say "maybe some high hats", and then they came in... so I guess I'll just shut up. Refreshing track!

on Waiting by JHolmes
It's a cool track, makes me think of the Cure circa 2000 or somethin, minus the Robert Smith sad voice. Almost sounds like those pads are getting digital clipping or something, maybe the sound is intentional, or maybe it's my bad speakers (probably). Nice work!

Edit- I think I did some damage to my ears yesterday, so don't worry too much. I been playing to much gibson organ, I think I got midrange tinitus or something. Cool song!
JHolmes
JHolmes replied Unknown - 2027 years ago
I thought I'd fixed the clipping problem. It might be an artifact caused by the 128kbps render, or I may just suck at mastering. I have a compressor on the pad channels I'll try adjusting. I appreciate the feedback.

on Incurably Insane by ob3yy
Groovy disorienting track! It made me want to smoke a bowl even before the vocs came in. Some of these sounds you used sound pretty old school, fun!
