on Death Of Me ft TristanVocals by RealProblemShuckers

Well done, cool build up then the drums kicked in. I liked the piano, nice progression. The synth is a little weird sounding but different. Keep up the good work, you have a lot of potential!

on Just Another Day by Cestevens1783

I like music like this, a bit whimsical and fun. The short breaths or effect that sounds like that starts around 25 seconds is cool. Maybe for some additional vocals you could do some more vocal sounds like that. Maybe some ##### type sounds, short vocal noises or phrases rather than singing full lines. Just my 2 cents.

That's not a shabby idea at all, thanks for the input! Glad you enjoyed it as well. Thank you for the great loops ha-Charlene

on Bad Boy Sound by FreeRadical

Cool vocal samples, energy galore, pounding drums, I am now officially awake! I like it man, the effects and panning you used make it interesting to listen to on my headphones. It's fun and it gets me pumped up. Cool bass, very cool bass!

Wayne

FreeRadical replied 28th Apr 2014 - 12 years ago

Thanks man. I'm actually really p***ed off because i've updated this track but for some reason the site wont let me replace this version.
Never had this problem before but anyway thanks as always for listening Wayne.

on Hybridity - a Subversive Dance by n0mad23

I had to give this another listen. It still has the same effect on me when I first heard this a few years ago. I still dig that accordion. The spacial feel to the drums is great, you really filled up the entire stereo field.

It's good to go back and listen to some older tracks and be amazed at how great they still sound. Hope all is well!

on Indefatigable by EDRAAK

Cool track, the mix is outstanding1 Nice dynamics throughout the song. Singing is well done and I'm a sucker for an acoustic guitar. Enjoyed it very much!

on Beautful - Will 2 0 feat Benjizo by benjizo

This is cool! I don't listen to much hip hop but this one certainly caught my ear. Loved the vocal effects, the lyrics and the music production, guess that's all of it.

Well done, nice track, thanks for sharing!

on Hypnotic Larry Wiggles aka Mark Jeffries by larrywiggles1

Cool groove(s), it has it's dance beat and a reggae sort of feel at times with the scratching guitar. The vocals are great. The mix sounds pretty good as well, nice job putting this one together. Kinda pop/dance/hiphop.... it's good, that is all that matters.

Wayne

larrywiggles1 replied 23rd Apr 2014 - 12 years ago

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for that, I didn't quite know what I was trying to achieve when I started, and still didn't when I had finished!! So glad you liked it though.

Best wishes,

Mark/Larry!

on Lets Start To Play by ScottFranco

There are some cool elements to this track. First, I like the vocals, all of them. The song has a very cool vibe, relaxed and chilled. Many cool percussion instruments, great guitars and some nice changes. Well done, enjoyed it!

Wayne

ScottFranco replied 21st Apr 2014 - 12 years ago

Thank you, Wayne. We appreciate you checking us out and hitting us up with your kind words.

on Rise - Instrumental by SamAndHisGuitar

Pretty cool track, solid in many aspects. The song itself is well written. The guitar tracks are damn good, nice layering and tone. I think it needs vocals, I hope you can get some but even without it is a really good. Well done, nice playing!

Wayne

on Distant Footsteps Nocturne by Orlando51

Yup, this works for me and fits in ambient. Meditation and relaxation music. Very light and airy, soothing. Spiv mentioned "new age" music, I think of that when I hear music like this. It's really well put together and mixed. Great job!

Wayne

on Patterns In The Clouds by MWRatridge

I agree with PJT, your mixes are sounding nice Mark. I like the laid back country rock feel to this. The sliding vocals are cool. Lots to like here, well done!

TY man. Always a pleasure.

on The Prodigal Son by srbrown7

Very cool piece, emotional, soothing. Nice piano work and sound. I like the dissonant sounds to make the listener say what the hell was that and why was it in there. Creates tension I suppose. Enjoyed listening!

on Welcome to my world by RichieWinn

This one slipped through the crack somehow, I know I missed it when it came out, sorry man. This is a very well constructed song. Many facets to admire, snappy drums, great guitar and some awesome vocals. There is a nice vibe to this, a chilled out and uplifting track. Well done Richie and Patricia, lovely track!

Wayne

RichieWinn replied 14th Apr 2014 - 12 years ago

Hi Wayne

Thanks for your comments - much appreciated. New material soon - it's been busy moving back to UK and sorting out a house. Studio finished and ready to go.

Good to hear from you.

on Misty by Tatiacha

Nice description, cool production. I love percussion and this song has a lot. Well done and I agree, nice guitars!

Wayne

Tatiacha replied 17th Apr 2014 - 12 years ago

I just can't stay away from those percussion loops they call to me lol

on Japanese Sumo by yappy

I like all the space you left in this track yet there are many instruments and changes. Mix sounded pretty good in my headphones, the hand clap seemed a bit loud in the middle. There were spaces where the song lost that Japanese influence and I liked the parts that had the Asian instruments in them. I guess with an eight minute song you can do that, wander a bit. I liked it, well done, very creative!

Wayne

yappy replied 13th Apr 2014 - 12 years ago

Thnx a lot for taking the time to listen and the feedback of course, this means a lot to me.
Funny you mention the space in the track. I did this on purpose. I'll tell you why.
Just imagine a huuge sumo wrestler waking up and preparing himself for his match.When the claps starting he's warming up and when the ''dance-part'' comes in, the match has started and finishes when the slower part starts again. Btw, he won the match..lol. At the end he's tired and falss asleep again. The life of a sumo wrestler here in Japan.
Thnx again for the feedback!

on You Are Not Alone by Zenia

Very beautiful track, wonderful piano and amazing singing. You are very talented. This song reminds me of Samson by Regina Spektor. If you are not familiar with her please look her up. I will be dl'ing this so thank you for sharing!

Pretty darn good for a first attempt. Nice smooth beat and effective vocals here and there. It has a very chilled vibe, like it. Keep up the good work!

on Winter Solace by XmafaX

Well done, this totally rocks Paulo! I hope you find someone to put some vocals down, it's cool the way it is but that would be the cherry on top. Guitars sound awesome, nice tone. Well done, the title deceived me a bit, thought it might be a little more subtle but no, it's in your face, hehe. The little breaks you added are solace enough.

Wayne

XmafaX replied 15th Apr 2014 - 12 years ago

Many thanks for your comment. Yes, I am desesperate looking for vocals :). If you know someone that want collaborate please tell me. Regards

on Ramshackle Nanobot Tarantata by n0mad23

Hey Sean, good to see you popping in here once in a while again. So glad you posted something new, you always seem to make my mind work overtime when I listen. jahknow's Dub Guild, damn, that brings back some good memories from a few years ago on the loop. I see Arkey once in a while here and we ALL miss jahknow's input and presence here.

Are you still using Ableton? I made the switch just over a year ago, worth it in my opinion. The track has moments of psychedelic flashbacks(make it stop) and lots of cool dubby things happening. Sorry for all the technical terms,lol. I listened in my headphones, nice use of the stereo field. The mix sounds pretty clear, well done to both of you.

Hope the radio station gig works out for you. I've stopped in and listened a few times but I haven't caught your show at all. I will have to make it a point to stop over and chat. Hope everyone is fine at home, take care Sean.

Wayne

n0mad23 replied 11th Apr 2014 - 12 years ago

I'll have to share the story of the Dub Guild resurrection sometime - pure cosmic convergence episode. Simmerdown even popped up out of the woodwork feeling the pull one afternoon - so weird, that. We're trying to do what jahknow originally planned, which is a collective of like minded artists sharing resources and making available each other's work for remixing purposes. Some really awesome remixes have come out of this in the last few weeks. I'm still using Live 8 with my APC-40 and Axiom-25 keyboard, and can't imagine really working with any other DAW at this stage. My radio show tends to be Dub themed on most weeks, but I'm also doing "peregrinations" where I spend 2 hours just playing music from Africa or inspired by African musical traditions, as well as Asian peregrinations. I've played your "Lost Caravan" on one such peregrination show all ready (fit great for my stop in North Africa)! I'm on Tuesdays at 2PM EST should you find yourself able to swing by sometime. So glad to see you're still around and making awesome music, Wayne. Still look forward to sitting down with you sometime over dungeness crab and comparing life notes!

Nice job for a first demo. I like the groove and classic reggae feel to this. Decent job on the mix as well.

on Lost and Found v 2 by srbrown7

Certainly well worth listening to. Great build up to some energy then a great transition to the second half of the song, like a metamorphosis. Well done, this was constructed nicely and the production is fantastic! Fav and dl for sure, thanks for sharing!
