on The Return of Blunted... by DougieDJ
The drumwork, specifically the hats and the way you faded in and out of the transitions in this track definitely remind me of a Blunted track. I really like what you did melodically with this...that Pacman beep-boop was the bee's knees.

This may not make sense but instead of taking me somewhere, this track felt like it just sat me down and brought somewhere right before my eyes for 4.5 minutes.

B...I'm glad you liked it bruv...Yeah I definitely wanted to sound like he was coming back to us...which is where the intro came from..

The bleeps/bloops were from a plugin that we share and I thought I'd throw it in there...I think he uses it in "Provoked"..

Anyway cheers for the review!

on Listen Up People! by Kevo
Sick sample! Got a bit repetitive, though. Maybe some change in the melody or an added instrument or two sprinkled in to keep it fresh throughout. I like where this is going though...on the smooth tip. Cheers.

on Untitled - Preview by DougieDJ
Great demonstration of patience. The track builds up in a very subtle fashion before you bring the bass in and let it take off. Keep working on this, you're off to a good start.

on Nerd Hustle by drinkinstein
Real talk, I think I'm your biggest fan on this site. I can't put a finger on it...I don't love your beats, but I do like them alot. I didn't think I liked your voice but I am somehow drawn to it. Your nerd vernacular is spectacular but please stop making music because you confuse my sensibilities.

on summertime(Feat- the masked marada by KenDubs
Looking at your avatar and playing this, I feel like I'm sitting in a chaise longue with a beer in hand listening to you tell like it is. Nice groove, man.

on Farewell, Soldier by KnowCanDo
Can't believe no one else reviewed this yet. I was intrigued by that horn intro and then it just blew up into some brilliant futuristic funk voyage over some scattershot drumming. Bad-##### melody, too. Props, man.

Fav'd and DL'd.

on New York, Meet... New York by 36Chambers
Nice. Got that Harlem Nights jazzyness meets Mantronix 80s drum machines vibe to it. Kinda interesting how you go from one sound to the other and back. You got a lot of good things going on here and I think maybe just a slight changeup somewhere to keep things fresh would help, even just a a segue between the jazz and hip-hop parts or vice-versa. Nevertheless, digging this. Cool.

Thanks for the review. You are probably right, I am just not sure what to put in there, it's a bit sensitive, being I want to keep it in the same genre's as the rest of the song. I think maybe just mash some of it together and have a slow "jam" in the middle? What do you think? And thank you for the idea.

on voices by rei4real
somebody mentioned needing some snares but the sparsity of the drums is one of the things I like. plus i thought with the glitch loops used, more drums might interfere with your sound here. and the sound is beautiful, especially around 2:40 when you bring your awesome guitar-playing into the mix.

The track never came off as dark to me. It's actually quite an inspiring mix. Fav'd + Downloaded. Cheers, bro.

on Hope must end by sammmm
That orchestral synth pad was used to perfection. Love the way the beat builds and how you pull back and make it a bit more drum-centric towards the end of the track.

On another note, I know a lot of people don't share this emotion but I kinda like it when tracks just end abruptly.

Nice track, dude.

on Mos Wanted by MosReQuest
There's definitely some Dre influence but you did your own thing here and did it well. I love the feel of this track. If I had to put it in words, the beat feels like khakis, orange juice bottles full of gin, a 64 on three wheels and palm trees. So dope.

on balls in the shower by Embryon
yeah man, this is solid. the groove is sick and the drums just flow through you hard. really liked the changeup towards the end too. cheers.

on Trust In Me (feat. SlapJohnson) by McSylva
I barely had time to get into this before the sax came and just hit me with the smoothness. I really like the instrumentation on the hook, as well. I'm kinda with Splish on this...dunno if I would call it hip-hop but, at the very least, the elements are definitely there for someone to rhyme on this.

Overall, a really nice track and excellent work by both of you. Looking forward to more in the future, hopefully

on Hardcore Jump (********* ******+****** *********) by LuFa
If people haven't heard of Jumpstyle before, you are definitely gonna pique their interest, Lufa. The drums are bangin and the synth melody you have in the foreground is wicked!

Downloaded & Favorited (is that even a word?).

on Keepin it Simple by Rockingchair
Making tracks where hard-sounding guitars carry the beat has always been problematic for me so it's kind of encouraging for me to be able to hear this and get some kind of idea of the dynamic involved.

If this was quickly made, I'd love to hear the end result. Kudos.

on I can see so clear by SLAPJOHNSON
I am always impressed by your tracks' technical mastery and the feel you have for sound and now I can add your impressive vocals to that too. I don't know if I just forgot or if I hadn't heard them before but you got the gift.

A little more in awe each day.

Hi Jack, Kind words buddy, thank you. I'm always trying to improve my writing and sound, so if I've impressed you, then I'm doing something right. Cheers Slap...

on creeper by profita
Laidback, man...this is definitely something I fox with. Where some people *cough* me *cough* like to overbear people with a bunch of mishmashing sounds to create an atmosphere, you did a really good job of keeping this track clean, letting it build up at a smooth pace and allowing the details, like that flanged sound in the background, set the mood. Another fine track.

I love the mix between slow and frantic sounds here. If you close your eyes, you can imagine yourself trying to smuggle dope out of the Golden Triangle.

on i recall by phks
Sick, sick beat man. You flipped that vocal sample nicely and I like the keys on this. You rode the beat smooth and your vocals are mixed really well...something I'm still working on myself so I'm naturally impressed. Props.

on Effteepee by Compligtd
love how you brought that guitar in the background around the one minute mark and I like the drum fills used to.

everyone else seems to have said it so I hope it doesn't lose value but that bass is mcnasty, dude. solid track.

on Caution by scratchrabbitt
I kinda coasted through this until 1:20 when the beep-boop-beep attack struck and then my attention was caught. In the few minutes you had me, I couldn't help but notice how well this was arranged. So many sounds and with many of them being "harsh", it was pretty impressive for the end result not to be a cacophonic.

My only complaint is that now I want to eat a mushroom and grow large. Thanks a lot.

on SES (Splish Entertainment System) by DougieDJ
Damn man, this track is absolute birdflu. I'd say it makes me wanna play Megaman but I don't know well I'd do when I would just be holding the controller in the air, bouncing up and down and bobbing my head.

Dope track, Splish. Props.

on Mr Blues is coming home by meestege
Your cousin's vocals are great on this, really felt his emotion and he doesn't overreach on it anywhere. I'm not really familiar with blues artists by name so I can't confirm who your playing is like but I can tell you that it sounds great and really sets the tone for the track. Sad as it was, this song was definitely enjoyed.

Downloaded and favorited. Cheers.

Thank you, Jack
This song means a lot to me and its good to know that you feel our emotions. If you like this kind of music search for Fleetwood Mac (1968-1970) with Peter Green. B.B. King once said he was the only white guitarplayer with black blues.

Digging this. Really has that epic and powerful feel in the hook and the verses just keep it moving. I agree with Eshar, for a first track, this is sick dude.

on Pull dat thang by aRcaneTheGreat
sick bassline and that texture in the back just gave this a "let's ride out and mob" vibe. good to see i'm not the only person who samples and chops his own voice.

keep doing your thing.

on Fragile wings Slap Johnson by SLAPJOHNSON
I just retyped variations of sentences several times over while listening to this track so that my review wouldn't sound like blubbering rubbish but hot diggedy mother licker, that was a magical display of saxophone virtuosity on your part, Slap. This is the best thing I've heard since "you're never gonna see me again, do anything you want to me".

Effing boss, champ. BOSS!
