on Reggae Track 190125 by Indieground
Very cool. Good to hear someone else keeping the dub alive around here. What's the bpm?

on Terra by AnthonyAttard
Very nice track. Interesting fusion. I find it curious that despite being quite a robotic beat, trap lends itself to this sort of atmospheric, cinematic music. Cool stuff.
AnthonyAttard
AnthonyAttard replied 17th Jan 2025 - 11 months ago
Oh yes, it is quite a robotic beat, unfortunately programming the drums and in general the rhythmic part takes a lot of time and there is a lot one should know about these instruments. I try to make the track "realistic" but it is clear it is not the real thing. It is very pleasant though that in general it gave you the feeling of atmospheric, cinematic music.
Thanks a lot for your comments
My best regards, Anthony.

on Friends by Micky
Wicked, one from my favorite LM duo. Had to listen straight away. Your voice and the production is fantastic as it always is. Great song, love the words. This is just dreamy, well done both and hi to jynxz.

Micky replied 23rd Jan 2025 - 11 months ago
Hi Chris, oh yes, it really is dreamy. But combined with a pinch of hope. And you know yourself that that is a real currency at the moment!
Btw (CAN) ... I had a listen to MOTHER SKY lately ... still great!
Cheers and all the best to you,
Micky

on Vizzio Freestyle - Morash Freestyle Beat by TheMonzderSquadd
Yeah man, this is cool. I don't listen to much rap or hip hop but every so often I get the urge. I think I'm still stuck in the 80's as far as hip-hop is concerned cause I still love my Public Enemy - probably cause I tend to gravitate towards music with a message when it comes to this genre. Anyway, I can't even imagine trying to pull something like this off, even just in terms of the timing and the phrasing. So respect on that, the vox were totally on point. Actually, pretty funny the lyrics in places. Cheers man.

TheMonzderSquadd replied 23rd Jan 2025 - 11 months ago
Thanks alot for listening, man. Its crazy but i honed my vocal styles and my ad-libs by freestyling basically everyday for years - I started when i was 15 years old, and my brother was always helping and encouraging me. In all honesty, Aaron's talent and knowledge of music has always been limitless to me, I always wanted to understand and learn the stuff that he does, even a bit jealous at times. But then i realized that our talents are meant to work together to achieve even greater things. Hes been telling me all that for years lol. one day it all just clicked for me.I think we are only going to get better as we do more projects, 2025 is our year.

Super smooth and chilled. Lovely guitar tone too. I could imagine this as a soundtrack to a cool laid back sequence in a surf film. Sunset and slomo... Beautiful.

on Breakin - Pnnywze by Pnnywze
Hey Aaron been a while, hope you're good. This is a bit different, I like it. I was kinda falling asleep as I listened cause it's late but this had me trancing out. Trippy somehow. Cheers Zoot.

Wats up brother, had a freakn blizzard this past week so its been crazy around the region. But I found a little time to work on my sadly neglected projects, so some more stuff will start rolling around sonner or later. I glad u lked this one man, i was aiming for a mellow vibe, Im trying to have some more like it on my brother's album im making beats for. The Monzder Squadd is done for now, I just released part one of our 1st album on Bandcamp. But ill keep on bringing as much heat as i can, thanks for listening dude. - Aaron

Pretty wild vox, vamping it up good! Guitars sound great and I enjoyed the quieter break down sections too with the keys (?). Interesting work, enjoyed!

on Missing Things by yampaja
By the way, love this one. Suggests lots of melodies for vocals. Anyone sung on it? I might have to ask for the wav file. If you had the time and inclination you could email it. Think my email is listed on my profile.

on It Could Be It by yampaja
Kia ora from NZ. Man you have some amazing stuff on here. So diverse and willing to experiment and have fun.

When I go back and hear early stuff and read the comments I think Looperman was probably a much cooler place than now. Too generic now a lot of the time.

I took the liberty of looking up Flat Top, looks beautiful. U really a forest ranger? I'm an ecologist...

Lastly, I wonder what your daughter thinks of this now? It's classic.

Cheers Zoot

yampaja replied 6th Jan 2025 - 11 months ago
She is starting like it more these days. She grew into a great singer and has performed at some large venues.

I've been patrolling the hills, clearing trail and fighting forest fires for quite a while now.

Looperman was a small community back then. Easily digestible.

Still completely masterful!!! I would have gone for Epic but that's been done previously lol. Tumeke.

on VT Nights x KayOS - Lights Out by Kayos2
Ha, talk about my track being eclectic. This is also pretty genre defying. It's an awesome mix of elements. Your vocals sound so good on this and so clear and intimate in the mix. It's a fantastic track all round.

Lyrically pretty cool too. Though very different in tone, it put me in mind of Watching You Without Me (Kate Bush) track in terms of its story/theme:

All the best

Hey Chris - I have been a KB fan since 1978 ;) She is my biggest inspiration - Thank you for your kind words re the vocal and lyrics - the lyrics found a world of their own on the initial loop by Fish Tongue. I had so much fun making this track. It is so awkward when you have to put in just one genre, isn't it, lol. Have a great night, Kay

Figured you had to be cooking up something. Always a treat to hear what you've been up to, and always a surprise. This is typically genre defying and unique. Happy new year mate.

This is beautifully done. Lovely soft keys, slight feeling of menace and subtle mood changes. Mix is real nice, doesn't sound over compressed, nice warmth to it.

Fun track! Not so much this one, but often your music reminds me of Steely Dan for some reason. Nice sneaky wee message at the end too, thanks!

Yeah 100%. Currently working on another very Dannish track, but I guess this one had a bit more Paul Weller/The Jam in it :)
