Hi Dimestop. Thanks for stopping by and for the kind comments. I think there used to be a bit more communication and get to know you going on in times past, It seemed that more people were willing to offer suggestions too. But much of what used to be has changed so we just gotta move with it or unplug. Keep on doing your thing my friend. Best to you and yours. Ed

cheers paul i appreciate your comment and listen
can your boys do it i tink they might get to the final maybe lol

Very hot in france to mate. It seems that we are in the same boat. Thx for the feedback ! Cheers

good to hear from you mate and my thanks for the very generous comments. Sciatica is one ugly affliction. I have had it for about 15 years so I know its no fun. Still putter with my music although not as often as I cant seem to just quit. I have a tune I built around one of our friend Bears piano loops that I posted on SC but didnt get around to posting on LM I will try to get up this week. I have just gotten really lazy about follow up. Keep doing your thing old friend and I do hope your sciatica lets up for you. All the best. Ed

Hello Dimestop my friend, your comments are heartfelt and very meaningful and greatly appreciated....we love our music and look forward to more.....bless you my brother.

Dime - You know what? I hope that retirement by the sea comes earlier than expected. Sounds pretty awesome.

Yo bro thank you for your feedback! I very appreciate it! Don't worry about Kiana's stuff, it's not the main thing and I'm not on the rush with it haha, take your time and recover bro, that's more important!
I really liked your collab, is that your vox? To understand what I mean I can suggest you to listen to the best (for me) Future Garage artist - Vacant. Particularly his track "Southbound (Original Mix)", approximately at 1:55 starts bridge with a speech, which makes the track soooo stylish and tough. I create music not fast and if I need your help I'll write to you right away bro. I appreciate such opportunities to be a part of music community and Looperman's one ofc. Thanks to ya!

Thanks Paul, I'm glad you like it.

Hey Paul. Thanks. I decided to put 6 tracks on a 10inch vinyl EP. Some of the newest tunes will be on this, as well as the song I made 2 yrs ago as a tribute to my now deceased Mother. I plan on sending a copy to my sister for next Christmas, but not tell her that it's coming. My wife treated me for our anniversary by buying me the two albums of Angine de Poitrine. I feel for you with sciatica. My knees have been awful, especially when it's humid or raining, which it has been quite a bit this year. I was reading some comments on your last release, and I like the thoughts you have on when you make music, you have this mental picture of trying to hold up to the new standard that you have reached. I can tell you with certainty that we all have that drive and expectation when creating music. What I have noticed though is that there are periods in time where I am better or get into a zone, and others where I feel like I am floundering. The one lesson I have learned over the years is that when it's not happening, don't sweat it. Take a break. I saw the Madonna interview with Grahmn Norton. The one thing she said, which I think rings true with many artists, is that when you're not trying purposely to create something, that's when the magic happens.

Paul What's really good? It's dinner time here in central Illinois. I've been out for a good portion of the day and the heat's be heating LOL! I know you guys on that side been having brutal heat recently. Manuela and I have been e-mailing back and forth and she's telling me they are experiencing hot hot hot too. Stay cool and hydrated Bruv. I count on you to stop thru and check out what I'm up to. I'm not there yet with this track. I'm working on it as there's a certain something I'm after. I promise I will nail It. I highly appreciate you as a fellow comrade in music and a true friend in life. You think England is gonna put DR Congo to rest? We will definitely see! Thanks for your eval and compliments on my track.

Cheers paul for the big up much appreciated man i am looking to get 6 tracks like this done then i will present them to my youngest daughter she turned 13 last week and this is the type of music she is getting into so hopefully she will like them like you guys did thanks again man :)

Thanks for tuning in!
Scratches are very fake, but I'm sure you could hear that:)

Dime, thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback. It really means a lot.

This Looperman community has been great so far, and I'm really enjoying being a part of it. If I remember correctly, the loop creator is from France, Richard is from Nigeria, and I'm in the United States. It's amazing that the three of us were able to create this track together from different parts of the world.

This project was a lot of fun for me, and I'm grateful I had the opportunity to be a part of it. I hope to collaborate on more projects like this with others in the future. Thanks again for taking the time to listen and leave such an encouraging comment.

My dear brother, thank you. Your words are deeply humbling.
A few years ago, I worked at an IDP camp in Maiduguri, Borno State in the north eastern part of Nigeria during the height of the Boko Haram insurgency. Every morning when I arrived, the children would rush to the entrance to welcome me. They barely let me make it to the small room that served as my office. This went on for months because we made sure to spend time playing together, and every Friday I always brought enough sweets and biscuits for everyone. I think the candy made them want me around all the time haha, amazing kids they were.
The truth is, those children gave me courage and joy. Even though it was a very dangerous environment at the time, their laughter, smiles and resilience taught me far more about life than I could ever have taught them. That is why I chose to open the song with childrens laughter, to remind us of the innocence, hope and joy we should cherish for as long as we can.
Thank you as well for your unwavering encouragement and for seeing the heart behind the songs. If there is one thing I pray never changes, it is that every song continues to point people back to our Lord.
I am honoured to call you both a friend and a colleague. Your support has encouraged me more than you probably realise. Thank you, brother, and may God continue to bless you richly.
Also, I apologise for the late reply. My wife and I are expecting our second baby any day now, so I have been busy doing daddy duties, hospital visits and running around getting all the baby essentials. It is such an exciting time, but I would be lying if I said it is not a little stressful too. I have even taken my one-month annual leave from my 9 to 5 so I can be home full time and be there for my family.
How are you coping with the back pain? I pray the Lord restores your health and strengthens you. Please know I keep you in my thoughts and prayers here as well.
Lets continue to keep each other in prayer, brother.

It is always a challenge to mix the music to make it sound professional. I am very glad it worked out well on this track. EDM is my go to and some things are often the same. This makes it easier to get the right sound. Very happy you like it!

Thank you Paul :)

Aww thanks Paul ;)

Yeah! I downloaded the track from here, I heard it while skimming the Featured Tracks page! Always fun to dabble in other genres!

Thanks a lot! Yeah, nice to be back and see all the old gods still around, hahaha! It is nice to hear that you liked the track. Always fun to hear fresh opinions on the done work.

Hi Paul. Takes a long time uhm?? that pain.Actually, right now we should be having a nice drink together like two crippled old folks while watching the Netherlands beat Tunisia lol. Its here also extremely hot but inside i have 2 strong fans so i will survive.I look forward to your new tracks, but take your time and above all, think about your health.

Thanks again for your compliment, and I wish you a speedy recovery.

My friend thank you very much for your so kind comment !! Cheersssssssssssssss !

Thanks Paul, glad you like this one. Wanted to do my own lyrics, you use to penn, I set behind my DAW and recorded the phrases, nothing on paper, just wrote down the sentences in a lyrics track after the words got recorded, even the radio part just sprout from my brain, needed only two takes for that. A strange mind I have, able to create texts like this but not a decent sentence about "feeling" things ;)
