It's certainly slick. Great production work. perhaps not a genre I follow but its catchy and got all the right elements in the right place sounding fab.
Sorry dude I was mashed on smokes and beers,
I am analy retentive with genres at times. lol I meant to say I like it anyways. As for my anal retention issue lol, I would put your tunes in Dance genre. It's such a broad spectrum no one(like me)can be fussy ashole.
I have picked a few very cool tunes for you to check out, classics in their fields.
DEEPHOUSE - Oliver Schories - Backpack Of Memories (Original Mix)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54RpVZL7WHs
(deep drums with layers upon layers of deep sounds and a long evolving melody, and vocals with no meaning. 128BPM)
PROGRESSIVEHOUSE - Humate - Love Stimulation (Tom Middleton Remodel)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPVAeczWlKU
(Monster with a dynamic melody and powerful driving bass 128BPM)
TECH HOUSE - You've Got The Love (Mark Knight Remix) - Florence and the Machine. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lp3dQ2Jmk4
(punchy with edgy synth sounds, 130-133BPM)
Hello darkreine, hope you don't mind me giving constructive criticism? You have great sound quality & ideas so to enhance your music I suggest two things, 1. know your genre. many tracks labelled as deep house miss the point. 2. listen to the great tracks of each genre, pick out the tempo, rhythm, and pump it with as many odd ideas as you like. within their respective genre's. Deephouse is almost exclusively 128bpm - 125BPM, with a long and swelling build up, to a non melodic hypnotic beat. Bongo's are king in Deephouse & Techno. keep IT COMING GREAT things are afoot.
Thanks for listening and taking the time to give me your opinions. I guess that maybe this is not deep house, but then it seems everything is not Hip Hop either, but that's where it usually goes. If I were wanting to be serious about it, I would do all the things you suggest, but it sounds a bit too formal and staid for me. I only do this for fun, so people either like it or they don't. It may not be Deep House, it could be Deep Shit for all I know, perhaps you could suggest a category for me?
Wow what can I say. Eclectic, interesting, pounding, different. wasn't expecting that. Sounds like you are having fun. On a more valid note, there are sections that if explored to the max would provide you with a commercial individual sound, that would be a hit. I enjoyed it very much and it was full of surprises. It's a pity more members don't comment but they should check this out.
wow thanks for the awesome comment.. when i write music i try to have an idea or feeling of what I want to try to encapsulate and try to build upon that idea.. usually only to find that when I finish it, it's usually has turned into something completely different. My last two songs Transit and Valium were that way too. Check them out if you get a chance and let me know what ya thought :)Yes i've found in the last couple years that not too many users comment anymore. don't know why. maybe ever since the overhaul of the site. Used to get lots of users commenting and now its dwindled down to only a couple. Anyways thank you again for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Look me up on youtube for videos and more songs. cheers!
Hey man, this is good, it reminds me of william orbits theme to that movie The Beach. however for me the goodies arrive so late in the tune. I like a good lead in too, but yank all that good stuff from the end to the mid front then break down a chilled central piece before you bring back the goodies again in a crescendo. lol do you know what i mean?
I like your track, it is very catchy. A little thin on the sound production front, it needs beef(thickness). But a nice melody arp that covers the track and a great vocal, is the vocal from Looperman?
If i was reveiwing this like a latest release tune from an established artist I would be harsh, which is sad because its actually very good but the top lead is the reason i wouldn't buy it. it's not in keeping with the track for me, but all the same i love the rest of tune, great intro and overall feel.hope I'm not being pedantic.
My favourite classical peice. lol, don't hold it against me if I wince. But kudos for attempting such a feat. Check out KTA's version he did an outstanding trance version. Anyway keep on enhancing it, the tempo is all wrong for classical tho.
A good tune is a good tune, I like your track, it has great simplicity and movement. effective and danceable, really like the melody. Boost the frequencies a bit, pump it up.
Wow Softcell! Thanks for the review :) - if u know any producers willing to throw money at me - or even want to have a go at remixing urself then let me know
There is a great tune in here. I like 99% of what you have done here, the synths are fine by me and the bass is a little driver pushing it along, so don't change that. But my 1'ish crit is that sound with the flange (deadmau5) style is good but it lost momentum at 4.00 mins. I would have prefered the flange rate to stay 1/16 insted of dropping it down to 1/8 let it down to 1/8 in the end when the main lead has dropped out. oh and 1 last thing there is a slight chord clash once in early part. other than that I love it.
Thnx once again =)
About the flange rate...i really intended to make it that way almost from the start, as i was also considering using the same rate right away from 3:00...
I really like the drums excellent on the rythymn section, i like the meoldy section too, perhaps not all of it. and lack of bass makes it feel slightly hollow. If you did too melody lines one with strings that glide and a seperate synth with one layer split on an oct higher to off set the flat sound to the melody it would move a little more. one last thing a small breakdown is needed. most likely at the section with the most going on. It has great potential needs arrangement.
I like this toddmeister, nice drums and snap on that snare good clear production. Perhaps i would reclassify this into deep house, tempo wise. Im a picky fooker.
Thanks for your review, and I'll consider your classification of this song's genre. I'm not real good at creating any certain style, so I just go with the best classification that I can come up with.
lol Badger boots? I knew u had to be Irish or scots when i seen the photo. (not taking the piss). Nice tune by the way. I think the mixing needs a slight adjustment the second lead is slightly overpowering but in all a nice deadmau5 style tune. Checkout my deadmau5 copy versions and one original i did.
Hi again James, thought i'd leave u with some deadmau5 tips if u like to help understand his tunes more.
1. he uses 6 bar loops.
2. The bass is based on the the top line of the melody so that if u use a series of chords for the melody, copy only the top line and move down a few octaves, for the bass line.
3. when using a stabbed or staccato style (chords), he uses 5 0r 6 stabs across 1 bar, with the fith or sixth note out of sequence.
4. long intro's and build ups, breaks are usually melody chords broken up into short sections and repeated. Goodluck on the next project.
Hi dude , you have some excellent sounds going on in here, a few small issues to help u smooth the tune out. at the moment everthing sounds detached from each other. The wobble bass is somehow not enhancing the track, perhaps raise it 1 oct higher, and add some movement in it (vary the notes). secondly u drop in and out of beats without a crescendo too often meaning it never raises the pulse. Deep house needs no vocal however it is big on percussion, which u are lacking here. One last thing in Deephouse less is more. just deeper in tones.
I listened to a number of songs you made, and I can say you are as mad as a hatter, all good tho as they are fabulous in rich textue and cool melodies with crazy arpage, top dollar, a style all your own. Fame is just around the corner.
well it made me smile and I like its craziness. Perhaps a little too much spacializer or reverb post mix like its in my bathroom. But 5 stars for likeability factor.
