I really like these more "mechanical" sounding songs. Dubstep is pretty new to me still but I really like the style of this one. Especially the samples. Fav'd
Whatever the genre is, I like the sound. Industrial Doom/sludge seems like a pretty accurate description to me. Very heavy, love the minimalist drums. The bass drum especially has a killer dirty sound to it. Goes well with the guitars too.
Love love love this man, agree that it has a very western feel... As someone whose background is in all acoustic instruments these are the kind of things I've just never had the balls to record and put up on a site like this. What's the chord progression on this bad boy?
I gotta say nice track. I agree with dung that just a little addition/subtraction would really make it pop. Forget hate like Mrbillion, he just can't dig more spacey tracks like this. Love the snare too. Nice and dirty sound you used.
thx for your review!
you are right some changes the the beat could be good. but i have got a real problem, i often haven't got the patience to finished a beat right. i start to begin new tracks. i have got over 1000 startet projects!
Short, sweet, fantastic bassline and is that drum track a real kit? sounds like one and if so that's some tight chops on whoever that drummer is. Cool piece.
Soooo relaxing... I love this arrangement. Too many Jazz tracks on here have really synthetic sounding drums, or just sound like some straight up Kenny G elevator music (sorry to any Kenny G fans out there, the man may be good, but I do NOT like his style) This on the other hand was smooth smooth smooth. First Looperman Jazz track I've really gotten into. thanks.
He mate thanks,sorry for the late reply..I feel the same way about Kenny G it must have been his association with Michael Bolton maybe! lol..cheers buddy and thanks for the support..planet :)
thanks for taking the time to check out the riviera rockers, if we can help spread the word of DUB and inspire others .then jah gave us the light ..EACH ONE TEACH ONE. ROCKERS
So downloaded. I love the raw gritty sound it has. It almost feels like an analog recording which is just super tight. I also like where it touches on almost DnB. I don't just download or fav anything, but this one is definitely a keeper... Has anyone gotten back to you on vocals yet? If not I might be tempted to join the party...
techno is definitely not my genre, but Looperman has opened me up to lots of electronic music I never listened to before, and this track is just something else... I love the use of vocal sampling, it all fits together sooo smooth. I guess as a drummer, I agree with the first review asking for a little bit more on the drums, but as I said I know nothing of techno really so far be it from me to judge... But seriously, this is something different. A+
Thank you. This is the only techno song I have really made. It was actually one of my first ever beats. It was fun to do, and I may add more to the drums, but putting the cut vocals together took about 5 hours to get right. I am glad you enjoyed it
Ahhhhh! My god your tracks drive me crazy with how tight they are... I gotta pick your brain on these percussion loops some day. Are these mostly loops? What kinda synth's do you use. This track has a very Aphex Twin feel, with it's super bouncy melody and downright dirty percussion... Total win for me.
lots of resampling and plugged into a sampler. but yeah, i made most of it. the drums are actually an REX'd loop so i could edit it in any way i wished (in otherwards, instant glitchiness, stretch, and i dont have to muck about to find the right drumkit either). but yeah, that isnt the first time i've been told i sound like Aphex Twin, minus well call me the dark twin. pick away if you can though, i dont know what im doing right or wrong, but if you want to try and interview me about it sometime go right ahead
I agree that the percussion is pretty fly. It seems to have a more major tonality than a lot of the dubstep tracks I hear here, but then again I'm no expert. What software do you use?
thanks for the review man. yeah i dont really let the genre get in my way I just kinda go with the flow. its not a normal dubstep type track, but the wobble is there :) i use reason 5( just recently got this, upgraded from 4..ITS AMAZING!! )
I'm always intrigued to see people that put up acoustic tracks, and the melody for this on is just fantastic. I agree that a bassline would complement this track nicely... But it also sounds great as is.
As a harp player, I love this track! It really has a lot of feeling man. You have a much more organic and real sound than I'm used to hearing here... which is what I feel more comfortable with myself. Well done!
Thanks so much for your listen. I think I do tend to like more organic sounds with feeling. That's cool my friend that you play the harp. I like it's sound lots. Thanks again.

Considering your resources (and I know what it's like to have very limited resources at your disposal) this sounds really good. My only criticism is a bit of the percussion stuff, really mostly the weird shaker/highhat sound that gives it a sort of computerized synth edge that to me detracts from the rest of it. Maybe you can find a nice sample of a really sizzly ride cymbal, or something that sounds a little more natural? It only bothers me so much because it seems to be pretty persistant the whole song and by the end I really wished it was something else. Rhythmically it's fine... I'd just say find another sound to replace it.
You're right about that percussion sound. It was kind of nagging on me as well. Taking your suggestion and will tweak with something different. Thanxs.
I really like the melody line, the whole song has almost a classic 16 bit video game quality feel to it, and I mean that in a good way.
I'm curious how much of this is samples, how much you produced yourself, especially when it comes to the melody line! Great track!
I really like this one too... Although I guess as a bit of a hip hop head I can totally see a nice fat beat getting dropped after a little while. But I like the quality of it (like compositional quality not quality of samples or whatever)
Yo man, I love your style and I love your beats. Nice and fat without the that "dirty south" over synth style that's become so common in mainstream hip hop. Do you do this sort of thing professionally? because the quality of the these tracks is incredible. The kinda stuff you do is the kinda thing I would HOPE to do someday. Thanks for showing me this kinda stuff is being done and successfully too!
Thanks again mate, we all just need to focus and stay on our grinds man. In 6 months I'm hoping to put a commercial demo together for radio play. I usually do underground stuff, but I'm trying the radio vibe for a while.
Nice one mate, appreciated. Was liking your track too by the way, but re-createing a beat is always very difficult. I don't have an acoustic to hand right now either.
Is there a reason why it stops after a minute and then is followed by 4 minutes of silence? It also seems to start with no real intro it just starts. It's also all sort of muddied and hard to distinguish one part from another.
Otherwise I like the sound and it shows a lot of promise, I really want to hear this again once some work has been done on it. Keep workin at it.
*Edit- Still just cutting out after a one minute of playing, frustrating because it really is growing on me. I would love to make suggestions, but i get the feeling some of them might already be a part of the song... How/where/what are you uploading? It still seems like it starts in the middle too... On a lot of programs whatever you have selected at the time is what you export, maybe preview the mp3 before you upload it? Guitar does sound a bit clearer though, but I can't hear any bass really... may be the fault of the laptop speakers. I'll give a relisten through some headphones.
im not sure what happened to the track but I appreciate your review. I have replaced the mp3 with the song in its entirity. =)) please feel free to drop by again and review it.
