on Crank-Step by Lady_Vipa_Vicious
Lady V this tune is the grounding for a much much bigga jungle tune! HA. The 1st half w/o the bass kicks make it a good source for jungle breaks. Double up that bassline with a generous sub tone and bam! Gorgon Dread Soundsystem! ;)

peace!

on F*** Your Heart Out by asterikz
It's a weird mix of bassline, wonky, dubstep and SKWEE. I like it, but dang it needs a mastering on the levels. Needs some punchy compression on certain sounds. Keep this tip coming.

on Talky Talky by EnkiDubstep
Sorta in the same vein. I like the overall sound, but because you made the bassline sound as if it's playing the vocal melody, this is pretty hard to follow. It needs some sustained bass freqs. and rhythm to make all coagulate like sperm.

keep it up.

on Postman by Lady_Vipa_Vicious
1st review here. man this is so weird I don't where to start . As I listened to it I felt like it was made by me. I have several unreleased pieces in my folder that sound awfully similar to this. Not quite dub really, not quite grime or dubstep yet, more like some blend of industrial abient glitch hop with dub influences.

Really really fun and creative. This is where people want to go with music but are more or less affraid to. Weird nearly unlistenable beats and tones that give you the unatural errieness needed to get all the way out of mind... you know?

cheers to that!
Lady_Vipa_Vicious
Lady_Vipa_Vicious replied Unknown
bless man , i cant agree with you more the fear that people have to put something 'strange' out is a bit disapointing and it shows in a lot of dub artist, which is the last place i would except it.

u kno i got the kick from a royalty free producer pack from some where.

and yet again bless for the review

Ain't giving you no tips! :P you seem to know what sound you want. So keep that sh.. tite. Nice tune here Celest! Dub is REAL!
celestial1157
celestial1157 replied Unknown
yeah, this tune i tried to change things up a bit.
tried to make it more dub influenced.
it was experiment to see how well i could make a REAL dub beat.
im sure i need to incorporate more reggae influences into it, but hey its a start.

dub IS real.

on Lovers Who Uncover (DUB remix) by celestial1157
Pretty schweet. I wanna tweak on them clavichord sounds. Mess with the melody, say pass it back and forth between the clavs and bass line. Go forth dubsters.

on Untitled Featuring Love Beth Drew Mix 2 by Spivkurl
This was super fun! Moring 4:2- sesh went down super smoov wit dis on the lickle stereo. I liked Nomad's review for you, but to push even a step further I'd don't clean it up, make it even rawer! I know that's a hard sound to conquer, but this track could go 1 step beyond with this:

slow it down 10 bpm
sample and resample a couple of the parts (organs, plucked guit) and send em thru a bit stauratin filter to phatten and distort the sounds, then maybe add a room style reverb to em or even a mid range delay set to some long drawn out groove, 5/4 :)

In other words Jah loved this track!
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied Unknown
It's cool that you liked this one!

I might have to take this mix in two different directions, and see what I come up with. I'm concerned how the vocals would work out to drop to 100 BPM. I know I could stretch them, but that leaves so many artifacts. Who knows maybe it would sync up better at a slower tempo.

Thanks for your review and great suggestions!

on Im Dub For Life by Eldon1991
Pretty dope, but I'd wanna modulate the organ sounds some what. They sound overly 'plastic' maybe. Igeneral really nice composition, but with some e xtras in the mastering including some sub range treatments, you'd punch it through real hardstyle.

Keep it dubbing.

on Goosebump Landscape by n0mad23
Well sir you have your niche here in fusion fo sho. You've blended some interesting sounds together throughout your tracks, really quite atmospheric. I'd call your tunes very 'moody'.

Coming from a dubster, I can see where your love for ambience, world-beat and dub come together real nicely. If I were to give you 1 point of critique to bring these environments closer to dubbing, would be to look a phrasing in your tunes. Find those parts and stanzas that seem to create musical 'parts' and try and deconstruct some of your very rich sounds. In any one of these songs you've probably got 12 different individual instruments that could either be isolated and played out, or simply placed in either cut time or double time to create a larger more expansive sound.

There is so much happening in them that I almost want to slow the track down, or single out individual parts to hear seperately.

Now that's just an off the hip advive per Jah, that certainly doesn't mean I'd want to change wgat was here, moreover just guide you towards your next bassline groove and dub mix.

key words here: bass line groove ;)
n0mad23
n0mad23 replied Unknown
My little brother turned me on to The Orb when he came back from the UK in `88, and he's been telling me the same thing about the "bass line groove" since I started playing with this medium back in April and May.

In another track, someone said my music was what "maximalism" must sound like - and your critique emphasizes this. What's funny is I hated the Doobie Brothers because they had too much going on - I love classical chamber music but have never been so keen on symphonies. And here I am doing what?

The closest I've come to doing what you're suggesting is my latest track, "Totems from the Diaspora" and it's what I love the most about that song. When two of the drum tracks drop leaving only a single reggae loop of loopytunes and the North African fiddle drone comes sliding in. That's it!

Naturally it's exactly what your advocating as well. Stay tuned - I'm going to next do something specifically based on your review/advice. Thank you.

One of the best new rocks tunes I've heard in years. By ANY artist! This kicked serious ass.

Hello there Jahknow,

Thanks for stopping by. I don't believe I've seen your name before in any other of my other reviews. So if this is a first for listening to my tunes, then your very welcome to listen to whatever you like. :-)
Rock, Blues, Country is what I am into as I also play several different instruments.

I appreciate your comments on this tune and invite you to take a listen to 'Heavy Metal Highway' if you like heavy metal. I am NOT trying to advertize my tunes, but it's had over 500 plays, and some say it is the best they have ever heard for heavy metal. So you be the judge I guess. I am not really in to metal much either. I did it for a friend in Serbia.

I also play slide guitar and will feature a little in my next tune which will basically a Funk type tune. A 1st for me and maybe my last! :)

I will take a listen to your tunes as well and give you feedback. Can't this minute as I am at work.
Later then ....and thanks again for the nice review.
Randy

I love your vocals! This takes me back to the songs I grew up on in the 80's. The new wave post punk era that was so so good in rock and pop! This has many great influences I can hear.
