on I hear my shoes keep talking by RitajustRita
Nice one Rita. Great to hear you enjoying singing so much. You have such a rich vocal tone. Personally, I think I've lost since confidence with singing, I feel like I haven't done a track with vocals forever. I'm part way through writing one at the moment where I won't be able to avoid it tho lol. Anyway, top work again. Cheers Chris.

Thanks, Chris. I'm glad you like it.
I know the struggle of not having self-confidence all too well. But I know...there comes a day when you feel good and you start singing to a beat where you really feel the vibe.
And voila...there's your track. You're writing lyrics. Take your time, and I'm waiting for your new track.

on This Walk Through Life by glennwhite6504
Forgot to say, some of your phrasing and licks on this reminds me of Peter Frampton on the live version of Lines On My Face.

Hello Zootman, Frampton was one of my favorite players back in the beginning, he was magical in a lot of his work...very inventive and just plain cool and edgy.....still a great player.

Beautifully emotive guitar playing Glenn. I really like that a lot of your pieces are improvs. I wish I could translate thoughts and feelings into the guitar as you do. That would be heaven, so I'll keep trying. Cheers Zoot.

Hello Zootman, I'll tell ya my friend, I take small ideas and depending on the music and the moments I invent a whole little starting point and just stay within my boundaries and let it go....sometimes it does not work out like I want but that happens to be life....its the experience be it good or not good, you keep going....theres no magic pill, its just the imagination....Im not a player as much as a dreamer....sure I throw in some major and minor pentatonic here and there, a little dorian or Ionian but thats about it....its there to be had but no to try is definitely out....its very doable.....especially if I can have a little success it must be doable.....appreciate the time my friend.......take care bro

on A Fairy Spell by Kayos2
This is absolutely gorgeous. The music is lush, I mean it would totally stand up on its own even without your wonderful voice and fey storytelling. The guitars are outstanding as are the incidental fx

Plus I believe in forest fairies, I've seen them, especially if I've eaten the correct side of the mushroom lol.

Awesome stuff, Cheers Zoot.

Thanks Zoot, for listening all the way through - we really appreciate that. They do exist, mushrooms or not, in my opinion. We need those lighter, Elemental energies in our lives ;)

on A056 LoFi Jam Volca Sample 2 FM2 y Keys by FrANNAVARRO
Cool track. This sounds like something from early 70's experimental German electronica. I like the improvisational nature of it a lot. Well done. Do you have a bpm for it by any chance? Or is it off grid so to speak? Cheers Zoot.
FrANNAVARRO
FrANNAVARRO replied 26th Feb 2026 - 2 months ago
You're right, there was a lot of creativity in the seventies, and that's my inspiration. I usually use slow tempos but add tension.

on Samo ti - Only you by DanMed
This is a great track man. Lots of energy, I can imagine it going off in a club with a big sound system. The little mini drops are great. Vocals fantastic. I like the lyrics too. I think sometimes the things you start as a joke, or just playing around, end up bring the best. Cheers Chris.

Lovely track full of good vibes. Listening to this beautiful track instantly made me feel at peace. Rhythmic and melodic. That's art in my opinion. Well done indeed.

Great track to wake up to, like a kick in the head lol. Mix sounds amazing, so tight. I like the half time coda, and the vocal outro. Wicked man.

on Dawn- New Day Beginning by Filaofsoul
Digging this, great to hear something different here. Instrumentation is great, as the overall vibe. Sometimes I wish there was a bit more diversity here on LM, it's there but you have to dig some times. Baby noise was random but somehow fitting lol. Cheers Zoot.

I think Danke said it best - dangerous! And with relentless dark energy. Man I could hear vocals on this. Cheers Chris.
Pnnywze
Pnnywze replied 20th Feb 2026 - 3 months ago
Hell yeah brother, thank you! Danke's comments lately have me pretty rizzed too lol. This one was at first meant to be a squadd track, but ended up on the chopping block, so one day i built it up in some other directions and wanted to share it here exclusively. I havent put my guitar down in like a month, so i guess thats showing too lol.

on Take My Crown by the47
Pretty mean track. Those kick drums are insane. Great mix too, very pro. For a second or two I had some Faith No More vibes but heavier. Maybe it's the slight cinematic quality with the strings. Cheers Zoot.

on Witching Hour - The Monzder Squadd Ft Yungin by TheMonzderSquadd
This is wild man, I'm digging the heavy beat, and those guitars are spot on (is that your bro?). Vocals all on point. It's dark and heavy Pnnywze style. Cool stuff, hits hard. By the way, thanks for checking out a bunch of my tracks. I'll try to reply to some of the soon, I've been out in the bush so I haven't been able to up til now. Cheers Zoot.

TheMonzderSquadd replied 20th Feb 2026 - 3 months ago
Hey man, glad u liked it! Our work seems to be evolving toward even something more influenced by rock and industrial, and its working quite well. Yes, thats Pnnywze putting his guitar skills to use in all of our songs. He makes all the music for us in its entirety, all we have to do is use our voices every once in a while lol. We're working on some more songs, hopefully a new one will be going up soon. Thanks for the support!

on Sadness by TheFrenZ
One of the old dogs, still on a roll lol. This is a beautiful track, slightly melancholy as you suggest, and introspective which is fine by me. Lovely bass and I love a good pad or three. I'm still totally into a lot of the stuff you're producing here. I liked it from the get-go. Cheers Zoot.

on Forgive Me by JAICrews
Yep, funky alright with a dash of soul maybe. Love the slap bass on this. Guitar sounds great as usual. Production sounds crisp on the top end and the bass is just low down dirty in a good way. Enjoyable listen. Cheers Zoot.

on A047 LoFi Jam Volca Keys FM2 y Keytar by FrANNAVARRO
Interesting track. The pads and bass at the start are beautiful. I was digging those. The guitar I also liked. Maybe more so with some reverb or delay, not sure. Cool work though. Cheers Zoot.

Hi Mathias, I'm not much of a clubber but if I was and I heard this it would light my dial big time. Great track, driving beat, cool fx. Cheers Chris.

Hi Chris,
I hope you're doing well. It's finally winter again here. The first time in years. I'm enjoying sitting in front of my DAW and thinking back for a few seconds to the time when I could still move on the dance floor.
Greetings

on Woke Up This Mornin by MPOProduction
Not enough reggae here!! We need more. I wouldn't necessarily call it Roots, but that's ok. Got some soul influence maybe. Regardless, this fairly jumps out of my head phones and seriously swings, vocals are awesome, horns sweet, lyrics good. Ticks a lot of boxes for me.

MPOProduction replied 8th Feb 2026 - 3 months ago
Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciated it. Reggae forever, haha. I created the horns using Native Instruments Valves Pro. Its an amazing tool, but unfortunately pretty damn expensive.
