Thanks Mark. This one had a cool low pressure harmonic vibe for me. I was inspired by the cinematic piano loop that continues at the end of this track. Thanks for noticing the sax melody at 1:48. Always look forward to your comments. Thanks again UE

on Jynx- feat Joey Bonez Striking Daggers by Jynxz

Rob, from my point of listening you’ve done fine. I’m not qualified to touch much on this genre but from a production standpoint on the overall quality, beats, and flow this is a strong first attempt and a serious contender with this genre. Now when Rita and dimestop give’s their findings I’ll be throughly educated! I’m faving this because I like uncharted territory where you represented and held it down for a very strong statement! TTYL.

What's up Mark,

I was a little too obsessive with this track.
I don't mind if I miss the mark with my own music
but I do have concern when I use the samples of another
LMer (artist)especially acapella.
As always I appreciate your Fave listen and encouraging comments.
You've been there since day one for me on this musical journey.

PEACE...

Zootman, WOW! What you’ve done here is exactly what I experienced sound wise at the Chicago Adler Planetarium IMAX Dome where the screen is in the ceiling and the seats recline back. Beautiful work, simply Beautiful!

on Here To Stay by Micky

Micky, a quick note. I’ve got hours of Farley Jackmaster Funk. Steve Hurleys Jack your Body that you’ve mentioned. I’ll see if I can convert the tape and if you like send some files. Back then on Saturday night you just hit record and you would get hours of the finest house and from the early origin’s! Thanks for taking me back!

Mark

Micky replied 19th Jul 2022 - 3 years ago

Really very nice of you to offer that to me ... oh yes, getting some of your original recordings from the period would be a great thing. If it doesn't cause you too much trouble to convert it I would be very interested (yep, the good old tapes). I've always thought about continuing that old style somehow, with a little more modern twist maybe... and I still hear the influences in current tracks... Jack seems to have come to stay.

Have a nice day,

Micky

on Here To Stay by Micky

Micky, let me start by saying this is an wonderful honor to your wife. The bounce produced by that 4 on the floor is infectious! Then your vocals come on in with all of that power….. hats off! Ok this takes me back to the Chicago house era of the 80! Micky this was an excellent listen. Thanks for sharing your talent.

Mark

Micky replied 19th Jul 2022 - 3 years ago

Hello Mark, when you make a song for the love of your life, the motivation boost is enormous - at least that's what happened to me. I am very happy that something of this energy jumped over to you. Also, I'm glad you mentioned Chicago House. Oh man, I'm a real fan of that. I was already a cover designer in the late 80's and the label we worked for back then wanted to release almost the entire Chicago House portfolio here in Germany. As graphic artists, we then received all of these original records as samples, as sound templates for our work, so to speak. Yes, and that's how I got to know and love this genre. You know: Jack Your Body, Can You Feel It and so on. I just like how reduced it often comes across and yet is very effective. There is also something spiritual about it, if I could only get it.
By the way, I don't want to go unmentioned that I played the bass and guitar "by hand" in the traditional way (cough).
I'm so glad you checked it out and commented so encouragingly.

Greetings,

Micky

So Lonely, this is the second track where I find your guitar tone over the top to my ears. Great drive with a banging drum mix and awesome breaks. Great job.

on Another 2 Days by BaoBou

BaoBou, much respect for the heart you put here. There's nothing more rewarding being a musician, writer, composer, studio engineer etc. laying those ideas down and bringing them to life. Hats off for that aspect alone.

Mark

BaoBou replied 16th Jul 2022 - 3 years ago

Yes sir! I admit it's also frustrating at times - nobody else to blame for everything that isn't good enough :D but ok, that's why we learn:)
Thanks so much for the kind words man!

xstokes interesting interplay between the drums and narrative that’s hitting heavy. I really dig how you set the timing between the two. Interesting listen.

on Maybe We can Try by Jynxz

Rob, so this entrance gives a awesome sense of motion. The break @.51 is off the chart good. That groove @1:24 is nasty THO! Then the Rhodes Trip @ 2:14. You seriously hurt me with this! Your classic trademark sound and synth work. This is deep in the FAVE ZONE! TTYL

Rob, so the entrance timing brought on some type of wooziness as l listened. Did you pore olive oil over the drum mix? Huh? To smooth! Synths are the bosses here. I love this. And………….. FafafafaFaved !

What's up Mark,

You know I can't risk putting a bad Drum track
out there after all the live Drumming I've seen you do.

Thanks for giving my track a listen and for the Fave which
is super encouraging.
