Awesome track! Great way of turning a disappointing (but funny) situation and turning it into a great tune. You've got a great voice, and the backing vocals work so well here. Donde estan mis crepas? Not from Dominos!

Good social criticism going on here, both in terms of vocals and with sample selection. "This is cocaine speaking" is a phrase that carries many connotations, and really does push it into a creepy place. Well done with that. I'm finding the mix a bit too high, and having really serious clipping/distortion issues on my little machine here. Any plans on remixing?

It's hard finding words for this one. I'd love to give some constructive criticism, but it's beyond me. I think you nailed it with your title - and I can feel "no love" in the frequencies you've chosen here. Yeah, I felt just like this before and you've captured it SO well sonically. A great exorcism piece to dispel the bad vibes. Nice one.

The melody and harmony in conjunction with percs in this one are awesome. It'd be hard to stay in a bad mood with this playing - it's a Pacific Northwest sound! Like a bit of sunshine peaking through cloud. Yep - I've got to reevaluate my prejudice towards hip hop - thanks for helping me here. Faved.

Good beat, and I agree with Spivkurl - there's definitely tension underlying this track! Nice marriage between bassline and percussion. Cheers.

PS- "tension" is the pull between forces. Angels-Devils=tension. Some of the pads vs. percussion feels like this here. I think this is what you wanted - yes? So "tension" for this track is a good thing!

Interesting - I found myself reflecting on how the electronic medium really promotes the use of sounds that previously were deemed "primitive." You've got a synth happening here that really reminds me of my bamboo jaw harps and some of the drones really aren't that terribly different than what a didgeridoo does. Great rhythms here. Thanks.

Nice fusion between DnB and Ambiance in this track. Very chill out, with lots of sonic movement to put you into "the space." Nice one GAngaPAnda.

(Sorry RG - I posted this in the wrong place!)

Nice fusion here - a definite reggaeton sensibility with distinctly Latin American vocal tradition combined. I wish my Spanish was better (French sounds soooo different, and I've never been able to switch) but if this is an "unrequited love song," (as I suspect for the bits I understand) then it's GREAT. The emotional feeling here is really INTENSE and reminds me totally of getting over someone that never felt it in return. Anyway, really like it. Thanks.

Silly and poignant. Good mix, though I'm having the same distortion problem (it's a bit distracting). I love the message with the Reggaeton rhythm.

Nice mashup. The pads in conjunction with Bjork is really outrageous. Nice one - keep 'em coming!

Arrg! It's those elusive commercial flavors! How do you do that, my man? This really does have an `80's taste to it, though not in the 'static' sense. In other words, the guitars simultaneously stand 'outside' of a period piece while invoking the aforementioned decade. Bloody hell, my East Coast Brother - any tighter I don't think a razor could fit any cracks. Wow. (hey - you've gone purple, too! Must be the brother thang.)

The pad in this is really nice. Makes the track "musical" instead of a noize experiment, too (imho). Slightly Industrial in approach, but certainly could pass as Ambient as well (and would probably attract more listeners). "Metabolic Music." Nice one.

Got my vote for the category - what else to say? I'm listening to this 12 miles east of Aberdeen and it feels like indigenous music to me!

Yeah, Dylan and Young are good analogies here - folk sensibility and compulsion in delivering an important narrative. I'm still waiting for Pacific Northwest Folk Punk to arise. Dude, sonically this is such an evolution of SubPop! It's been a long time since I thought about The Screaming Trees, but after listening to this I'm going to dig out my vinyl again! Thanks!

djshade - Interesting and enjoyable track here. Very chilled trance with smooth movement between rhythm and keys. Something I could dance or veg to with equal ease.

BigPete's comparison to Zappa seems really appropriate here - one of your "unknown" listeners here was me, so I'm struck this second time around how I'm still surprised with every transition you take. Really good choices! Surprising, and even more surprising is how appropriate each one is in relation to what comes before and after. Nice one.

The transition into the bassline is really nice. Great mixture of sounds here. Enjoyed this one thoroughly, thanks!

The percussive use of the organ is really nice, especially in conjunction with the speed of the rhythm (nice stick sounds-btw). I like it as an instrumental piece, and after reading victormusic01x's comment I'm really thinking a vocal track would make this into something else. I really like this one!

Nice to see someone else that favors the percussion side of the register. I really like the world feel that comes through here, specifically because of your percussion choice. Your vocals? Very nice - got a kind of fusion of world and ambient happening successfully throughout. Good mix, and nothing is obscured by other sounds. Nice one, mate!

Thanks for posting this. I've been really curious what the original (unextended) versions sounds like. It really does have a considerably different "flavor", this one.

To me this has an Eastern feel, but one that's been filtered through East Africa on its way south. Though it's got a very Western, electronic sensibility to the rhythm, there's definitely other influences coming from the foundation. Especially the marimba or xylophone that slides in and out of it. Personally, I think it makes this even better as a track. I really like how the sax and wicked bass turn it into its own unique piece - very original without being 'weird.' Nice one, I have to check out more of your work.

How did this one slip by me? I'd like to use quotations and cite planetjazzbass's review for this track. But what I really dig about it is that its insurrectionist sensibility. Subversive music for the masses. Something rather Africanesque about that...

`T'is funky funk for true! What I really dig though is the interpretation. Guitar funk reworked into a 21st century context, recognizable but evolved dynamically. I love the panning you've done here - it's full on without losing itself to the gimmick of the technology. Your use of percussion here is truly brilliant - again full on without getting lost in itself - fabulous transitions just where they need to be with the right moments of minimal sound - not quite pregnant pauses but absolutely perfect in the context of this track. Damn...you're talented! I feel totally privileged that I got to be 2nd to review this.

I'm not sure I agree there's too much percussion, though if it were my track I might try to separate the drums a bit with different levels. This one grooves and definitely makes you want to dance which is always a good sign with music. Cheers!

I came in expecting a mashup, too. I really like the minimalism that this track achieves - without being too minimal (if that makes sense). The electronic glitch sounds floating throughout keep it really interesting, and you've got a good sense of rhythm. Really well done.
