As an after thought... check your email inbox - I have something for you..

Yeah this is more like it :)

Again I love the vocals, really emotional. Who is Matthew? If he can hear this I'm sure he'd tell you he's proud of what you've done :)

Really nice track man..

Thanks for sharing!

WongKi

Awesome, thanks man :)

You'll have to invite me to another dropbox folder though - I have a habit of deleting things from my desktop/folders..

Ahhh mate.. I'm gonna have to get that vocal now.. That's niiiice..

As for the track. Love it. It rolls nice and smooooth. Particularly love the bongo's - gives a tribal feel. The pads are reminiscent of something akin to that of Enigma..

Do you think maybe I'd be able to get the wav's for this and add stuff? Sort of like a colab/remix type thing?

Nice job man :)

I realise this ones a couple of years old now - but it's still a great piece of work!

particularly like the drums/percussion and the plucked synth..

Thanks for sharing man :)

Yeah this is really good!!

It sounds like late 80's/early 90's music which I just *loveee* :D .. referring to your earlier comment

"she pulls out all my unexpressed natural funk" - She done the same for me too!

Thanks for sharing..

WongKi

Now on my third listen..

It goes without saying, this is fantastic. Love your interpretation of the vocals. There's something so laid back about this that I could listen to it all day, really puts me in the mood for summer..

Honestly? Not so keen on the guitar solo personally,.. But a minor detail in the grand scheme of things..

Really, excellent job. Thanks for the Download :P

WongKi

I'm not going to focus on the music.. (I already know the pros and cons quite intimately lol)

Instead I want to focus on the important part - the vocals.

Honestly? I think they are really good. There's something really soulful and meaningful about them...

They aren't mixed as well as I would like to see,.. and *ideally* would have liked to see them on a different backing track if I'm being totally honest.

I've never been that fond of the loops I upload really :p

Personally, I think you should ditch my loops and go for something more chilled..

Thanks for sharing man :)

Wongki

Whoooa that kick really hits ya on the intro lol..

My initial thoughts: I'm drawn straight to the mix and how muddy it is.. plenty of clipping going on as well.. maybe something that needs more work? It actually sounds like you have a bit crusher on the master channel in places..

You don't need to have everything *really* loud when you mix.. it just destroys the stereo image and isn't so pleasant to listen to.

As to the track it's self - some pretty cool ideas going on man, everything's in tune lol.. maybe a bit of variation on the melodies would enhance the track as well.

Just some food for thought :)

Keep Jammin' man

WongKi

This is superb!

And I agree with you, this really does have the potential to be a hit. I don't really wanna name drop - but PatriciaEdwards has a fantastic voice, I think this would be up her street as well. Maybe try contacting her to see?

Really glad to see that you found your way back to the site dude - more please!

HA! xD

Kick "Fuck......" Kick Kick "Fuck......"

You *could* just say the guys saying "funk" .. you'd probably get away with it too

As to the track.. ummmm.... arrrr... There's plenty going on that's for sure. I bet this has had a few hours put into it.

I'd say it needs more low end really!

Other than that, I'd say it's all good in the hood :)

Lemme know when it's finished dude!

You've got some banging melodies going on here that's for sure man!

The only problem is the mix - agree with the poster below, the bottom end gets totally lost little by little as you introduce new sounds.. really muddy.

If you want, I'll mix it n master it for you. Don't worry, I don't charge... although I probably should start doing that soon.

just message me if you want it done..

Good job man!

LOVE the intro..

How come this only has 1 comment on it so far? This is fantastic..

There are some amazing sounds - I particularly like the arabian sounding strings and the subtle keys and the wah wah :)

I can't really comment on the lyrics because je ne comprends pas :p

Over all though, this is superb - if you aren't signed to a record label - why not?

I really should check out more people's work and I thought I'd start by coming here today..

I've honestly gotta say I think this is awesome.. It's rare that I give out praise, it's normally just all criticism lol

From start to finish this has had me engaged... it's got a great progressive nature that just creeps right on up to ya. I think this is the first track of it's kind that I've heard.. LOTS of atmosphere that's reminiscent of Liquid DnB to me (which I love).

Despite the bass line being flat throughout, there's sufficient other going's on that reward my ears sonically.

There's a couple of places where the mix peaks (I think it's the growly, distorted bass thing) - but nothing major.

Not much more to say other than "Fantastic show mate!"

Keep Jammin'

Toonz

The track its self is awesome.. Sounds like a few timing issues on the vox but an element easily overlooked considering..

That's a few of your tracks I've listened to now. For a 16 year old lad you've got crazy skills when it comes to putting a track together, I wonder where you'll be in 5 years time?? :)

BUT..... and it is a big but... the mix leaves a lot to be desired.

Quite a lot of your tracks are clipping and sound muddy, I wonder what processes you use before you render to MP3?

If you want me to mix n master a couple of your tracks for free just hit me up mate :) I'll make 'em sound nice and clean and club ready!

Glad to see some new house from you dude :) Starts out nice n smooth like..

When you start to build up the percussion there's a little bit of clashing like one loop is ever so slightly out of step or something.. but I could be wrong - in fact after listening again I think I am lol.

The change up's in the percussion gives a little something extra.. Other than that there's not much else to say other than good job mate! :)

This is really really good.. I had to come check out more of your work after listening to one of your loops :)

Thanks for sharing!

It's entirely up to you dude... I would personally, but then it's your track :)

Hey good job man!

There's a couple of places where the loop ending is a bit abrupt but that's my fault.. You could try using the full 16 bar loop with the tail - fade the tail out to take the edge off the transistions..? that's what I was planning on doing :)

I really like the additions you've made.. in particular, the outro.. I would like to have seen more of it, maybe for like a break down or something?

Over all though, good job man - you've made more of the loops than what I have lol :)

Impressive :) I remember my first track.. wasn't as good as this!

Keep practising and imagine where you'll be in 10 years time..

Good show lil dude!

Well fuck me... you kept this one quiet didn't you?

I've actually been waiting for this day - you've always seemed like you really know what you're doing - and now here it is in my ears and I'm not disappointed..

The first track is right up my alley and it's a shame there isn't more to listen to. The accordion is awesome! I can see it's gonna be an absolutely top notch track when it's finished.. :)

The second track is a bit too Ricky Martin for my taste lol

Any other tracks we can all have a listen to posted anywhere? :)

Great job...

Toonz/WongKi

Whoa.....

This is like - oh so good. I'm really surprised that I'm the first to comment on this even though it's been up for 2 months nearly?
Superb melodies and the mix is pretty darn good. Love the sound of the filters on the breakdown.

I can't offer you any *criticisms* per sé ... but rather, maybe just a few things that I would have done differently?

Firstly - I woulda turned the bass up on this a bit more. I can hear the kick thumping like it's supposed to, but anything below that is barely audible to me, but then again, I haven't heard this on a decent sound system.

Secondly - The main synth line, I'm going to call it the "pop corn synth", is present throughout the entire track - including the breakdown - and it creates a little bit of tedium, to my ears at least.. I would have maybe replaced it on the breakdowns for more pad like synths to give an "epic" sort of feel - if that makes sense at all?

and lastly - I probably would have introduced an additional lead at some point to compliment and counterpoint the popcorn synth - something solid sounding without any sort of gating or pop corny-ness lol.

But, that all having been said. Just listening to this one track of yours beats all of mine hands down, and you clearly know a lot more about the craft than I do.. so feel free to ignore me :)

Thanks for sharing dude! Great job...

Honestly? Not as good as your other house track (for my personal taste at least)... I think you've gone a little *too* minimalistic lol

It's still better than a lot of other stuff you hear on this site though!

Mate,.. this track is banging. You haven't overdone it at all, everything is spot on and firmly within the "House" genre! I struggle to keep in one genre and my stuff almost always ends up being wayyyy too trancey (which annoys me no end)

The vocal chops add a little something extra special and this is a highly professional sounding track that wouldn't be out of place in a pro DJ's set. I really mean that..

Awesome job mate!

mannnnnnnnnnnn I can see why this is one of your fav's. This is a truly awesome track.

If I could download it I would..
