on Paradise-Take 2 by DaMann
Anyways, I'll do that for play 2, okay?
As for ideas, hmm, gonna let this play for a min before I start shootin 'em off to ya.
Okies, I suppose it's played enough to form some schtuff. Alright mate, this does have some very mellow qualities about it, but I'm gonna haveta gig ya on the 'relaxation' elements ya touted above in the desc- it's too upbeat and engergized to be truly relaxing.
So there what I'm gonna recommend is that ya do a track like this, but kill all of the hyped up dancy elements (the drums... /play 2/ the pulsating bass {or just tone 'em down alot}, the hyperactive synth leads).
Just leave it at the pads, the beach effects, and some super silent bass and somewhat slowed down leads.
Now I hate to reference my own songs, but check out PSR3 (Mountain Wind) if ya want a perfect example of a 'chilled out' song.
Course, I just noticed that this isn't 'chill out' it's trance. And there you get a golden star. This is a very awesome trance track. And for the bits I suggested dropping- I love the double clap part of the drums (prolly the most) and the hyper synth leads too. The fade out, isolated one is nice too. /play 3- for closing statements/
The length is perfect and I could see a remix of this going well into 8 or 9 minutes (perfect session length quality). And I dunno if you've ever messed around with making super long mix sessions, but a track like this would be a perfect starter I'm thinkin. Since you've got all of the elements you can iso, extend, tweek with FX, warp the time sig, you name it. And with the way some of your other tracks are you could have a pretty cool mix session with an adequate time to land you radio spots, DJ gigs, etc.
Anyways, I'm rambling now. Great track mate. Later on!
on 1st RPM Track by DaMann
Okies mate, I'm back to the drum intro part and I'm thinkin that maybe you could try easing 'em in with a slight fade (not drawn out, just long enough to kinda capture the leads you got on this). And maybe add some kinda whiney, siren-like pre-build on them (like a wind-up) so when they do drop it'd be like them bouncing at people like off of a diving board.
Sux that ya had to delete the orignal, but the quality comes through on this version.
Oh, and have you got a name for this one yet? If ya don't and want some suggestions I could throw some at ya.
Whirlpool
Jet Stream
Storm Front
A Leaf on the Wind
Balcony
And they Leave
Exit 1a
Cloverleaf
Traffic Patterns
Syncopated Flow
Organized Chaos
Okies, I'll stop now. Haha, you know me- once my mind starts goin it's hard to shut off. Ooh, wait... F*** all the rest. I just had an awesome idea for a name (and it's a nod to graphic technology)- Marching Ants! Yeah, that's it. What do ya think? Anyways, cool track mate. Just let my name suggestions fill in the blanks on what this caused me to think of. Later on!
on Tubular Updated 29-08-08 New bass / synth added!! by Salkizar
Anyways, I dunno what it is, but the playback outta my speakers is superb! It has a crisp quality and the lows are comin out nice & bobby. This is a pretty decent composition you've got here mate. From one mixer to another, I can tell you that this is perfect the way it is. I couldn't think of one thing that I'd do differently. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on The Code- Bangin Kick and Stompin bass technohouse by Salkizar
Oh, and have you heard about how I'm gonna start doing site Podcasts again? Yeah, I figured it was about time for me to.
Anyways, I'm thinkin this would go perfect for my type 2 mix session (where I take the track and remix it and play it with other remixed tracks, mine included). I'm thinkin this would pair well with my track- Tha Beginning.
So if you're cool with that lemme know and once I'm done with the remix I'll shoot you an message so you can reply (with addy) and I can re-reply with a copy of the remix. And once I'm done with the podcast I'll post something about it in the forums with a link to it. Off for know. Lates!

on 5th RPM Track - Mirrors by DaMann
Anyways, this started kinda sudden on the first go 'round (will see if it does it again on the second play, ay).
As for the track, you've done it again little bruv. In fact, I'm thinkin if ya uploaded the synth parts as loops on here they'd get a buttload of downloads.
I'm also thinkin that this'd be super cool to use on my upcoming Looperman podcast (that I should start workin on tomorrow). Lemme know if yer cool with it being used, okay? In close, how long did it take you to come up with this puppy? Later on!
Opps, I almost forgot the 2nd play and it did start rather suddenly. Lates for real this time, haha.
You want the lead synth uploaded as a loop? Or another one?
Go ahead and use it, you can use any of my tunes!

on Over-Cooked (Full Demo Mix) by delaroca
The description dragged me in coz I kinda dig FatBoySlim. I useta play his stuff all the time back in tha day.
...And is that a sample of MC Humpty I hear on here? Haha, nice one! The Flute ya used on this sounds super familiar too, but I just can't put my finger on it at the mo'. Anyways, decent mix mate. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on alhamdani intro by zied_al_hamdani
Interesting mix mate. The instrumental you used on this is pretty slick. And it's definitely hitting my sub woofer.
The flow's pretty crazy too. I didn't know Hiphop was big over there. Most of the stuff I heard was on the local pop stations (I'm thinking). Though that stuff was cool to in its own way. Thanks for sharing mate. Later on!
thank u to for this respect realy i feel happy evry time meeting som 1 interesting and respecting ather peapl song and language thank u 1 mor time
and forgive me becose of my bad inglish :) see u soon
on 7th Dimension by DaMann
Play 2= reg...
Hey mate, just to letcha know- there's a silent gap at the end. I think the track ends @ 3:09 and it continues to run until 3:33. Dunno if this was intentional, but I thought that I'd mention it.
Now let's move into play 2 shall we?..
Okies, so Esh did the vox on this, right? Decent effects ya added to 'em mate. That one main synth you got is nice too and I love the way it builds into everything else once you reintroduce Esh's vocals.
Ooh, ooh. I'm pickin up on that second set of synths you got on this that're kind of subdued in the background. Maybe you could do a switch-up type of thing to where they become the main synth line and you could totally transition into a completely new song from it. And I'm spent. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on Pushin Midgets by ValleyBeats
Hahaha, OMG. Animators were on crack back then weren't they?
This is like NIN meets the Looney Tunes, priceless!
And was that a Sam Kinison sample I heard in there ('who's band is this anyway')?
Nice one mate. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on WARGAMES by GHOSTthatcheR
You did a pretty good job of capturing the feel of alarm and chaos here. Though I might've added some FX to the vocal samples ya used, but other than that this is a pretty sweet composition. Definately Techno freshness here. Thanks for sharing mate. Later on!

on The Bass Hunter (Old Mix) by Dj_i
Seriously, I couldn't hear any of his stuff on this. Which is pretty cool to make a remix of something and have it not even be heard.
Oh, and as for the bass being out of sequence. Maybe if ya copied the sequence, modified its pitch (and maybe added some effects), and then lay it on the track slightly offset to the original it'd help (to give it some crazy echo-type of sound, ya know). Cool mix mate. Later on!
on Gods Of War by YourzTruLee
That movie The Scorpion King that came out a few years ago? Yeah, well, I'm reminded of it. In fact, if Michael Clarke Duncan's character had a theme song I think that this'd be it.
Aww man, have you listened to this on a pair of headphones yet? The bass on the kick drums is redonkulus! And that leads me to think that if this was played in a car with a worth a darn system the seats'd be shakin sumfin fierce. I don't wanna even imagine the effect it'd have in a club comin out of a good tower, ya know? Anyways, thanks for sharing. Later on!
on Alien Contact by DaMann
On my fones it sounds pretty evenly slated. Nice FX ya placed on the kicks during the part ya had 'em isolated. Hmm, maybe you could add some kinda Phase effect (or something) to the Piano loops yer using on this to have 'em better fit the songs mood. Ooh, and possibly fade 'em out a bit more when you introduce the second set of synth Leads. Nice reintroduction of the other stuff BTW. And was that bit at the exact end (where it fades out and then a part of it picks up again briefly) intentional? Just curious. Now onto play 2...
Okies, for some odd reason the Bass kinda sounds muted (or muffled). Enough so that it stands out next to the Pianos. Course, I'm thinkin that you effected this entire song didn't you? Hmm, maybe the Reverb on the Piano's needs to be scaled back just a hair (so it'd match the rest of the song better).
Unless ofcourse, you were going for that effect and in that case disregard what I just said. Oh, and you know, as I sit here I think it'd be kinda interesting to hear what this would sound like without the Pianos. Maybe not as complete, but I'm bankin that it'd still be pretty cool, ya know? Man, I dunno if I'd be brave enough to jack my speakers all the way up on this one. Eh, nice one bro. Later on!
on Alright Now by DaMann
As for mastering stuff, I'm gonna haveta replay this with headphones coz right now I can't hear anything too outta place with it. Color me nuts, but the whole Glitch thing validates this bein fuzzed up, ya know?
Okies on play 2 now. And now I see what they're sayin. The Bass is a tad too high (or the drums are too low, {shrugs}). Hey, I've got an idea, why not shoot this over to UltraBasic or JahKnow (one with drums, and one without) to see if they couldn't mash it up. I betcha the result'd be pretty awesome. Later on!
on stomp on ma friend by bones2008
Does it go- Hey you, stomp your feet?
Man, I'm so brain dead at the mo'. Okay, it doesn't say that, but the 'Hey you' part, I swear I've heard that part somewhere before. It's gonna drive me crazy all day now.
The rest of it is pretty choice. Kinda remindin me of classic NES midi (like somethin from Castlevania, maybe). The way you start the drums on this is awesome. They kinda progress into a more standard pattern, but this is hardstyle after all, so that's cool. Hmm, at the moment I'm feelin like this needs some moor bass to it, yeah, more bass! Maybe just bump up yer current Basses volume just a little. And the fade out FX are killer. Styled after my own heart. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on i'll do anything by bones2008
The vocal sample is different. Not a big fan of 'em, but you made 'em work. Hmm, I'm thinkin if ya added some effects to 'em it'd sound cooler, but that's just me (shrugs).
I agree with Esh, this has more of a Techno vibe to it. Well, in the evolved sense of Tech, that is. Classically speaking it sounds more Electro (Kraftwerk in z house?, haha).
This whole track is different though. Can't really put my finger on it. Hmm, maybe it's like the evolution of DDR or what an elevator would sound like if they played more EDM stuff. That prolly didn't sound right!? Hmm, its a slippery bastaad, I tell you. One minute I'm thinking crazy next generation stuff and the next I envision Disney's Brave Little Toaster dancing a jig. Insanity man, insanity. Later on!
soz about the delay with the reply been ofline for ages now
on Refuel by DaMann
But the big question now is, what flavor was it?
Man, they've got so many now that I've honestly lost track. I tried to keep up back in the 90s, but once I discovered Powerade was cheaper (though crappier tasting) I switched over to save some loot.
Anyways, this is like DJ Dado/Robert Miles mixes with Photek/Dieselboy. Rawk on lil buddy! I think this one captures the classic retro vibe perfectly (or atleast, better than that other one I listened to of yours that tried to do that, I think it was yours, hmm, {shrugs}).
And 3 minutes flat, how'd you manage that one? Flippin crazy, I tell you! I'm thinkin this one would be a perfect transition piece between genres in a mix (like goin from trance/dancy stuff into breaks). Cool stuff man. Later on!
on Counter Reality by DaMann
Okies, I'm back...
Isn't it funny how stuff sounds different when you walk away? I was in another room like 15 feet from my PC and yada yada yeah, it sounded cool. (sighs)
This one is pretty out there. A trance track that takes on a life of its own, why I've never heard of such a thing, haha. Honestly, I can't think of anyone/anything else that this would remind me of. Well wait, the part I'm at now (over the 6 min mark) reminds me a little of someone. Couldn't tell ya who though.
Let's see... Remix stuff, hmm? Distorted Guitars, yeah, that'd so kick @$$! Industrial Trance, without the whiny Goth lyrics, OMG, that'd so rawk! Okies, I'm done. Later on!
on March 09 Beat Competition by YourzTruLee
Anyways, again, not a big fan of voc-sams, but I like the way they promote the site, ya know. Of all the things I've heard on this so far I'm diggin the plucked Strings the most.
And as for the comp, it's only right that ya don't submit anything since yer holdin it an all that. Though scorin a mix outta the deal is pretty sweet I must admit. Sounds like ya had a lotta fun on this one. Lates!
Couldnt agree more on scoring that mix tho, lol, i couldnt help myself...
Hope all is well on your side of the world,

on From Russia, With (out) Love by ZWR
: ) my friend made that up(the title) while we were chillen one day and i thought it was gnarly haha.
thanks for the review dude
on Dramatic Seizure by ZWR
hahaha
on Superman by DuBzReCoRdInGsTuDiO
Haha, the Drums on this are nuts. How many different channels did you use for 'em? I'm thinkin 2, right? The Strings on this are cool too, though kinda repetitive (though, who cares really, repetition is what Dance is all about, ay). Okies, the Vox are also amazing and in a way they remind me of old Funky Green Dogs stuff (but evolved). The only thing I'm gonna request is that if ya ever mess with this again that ya mix it longer, for real, haha. Make it like 5 minutes or something. Later on mate!
on never enuff by DuBzReCoRdInGsTuDiO
Now yer in my neck of the woods. House is one of those strange genres that ya can't help, but love.
The Pianos are sweet and I'm thinkin their levels are fine. The Drums are fine where they are because they are kinda subdued. Toned down to where they aren't drowned out, but loud enough so ya know that they're there. Though I would maybe add some more kicks to 'em, here and there. The Vox were good at first, but as the track progresses they kinda increase and near the end it sounds like they're on the verge of clipping. The Strings do a little bit too, but not as much and otherwise they're nice and groovy. The bass kinda seems to be somewhat neglected on here. Though the minimal treatment of them is different and what you've got is nice. All I'd do is just bump them up a tad (maybe like I did with the drums on @30k Feet- sweeping them in and out for effect). Anyways, this is a pretty solid arrangement overall. Thanks for sharing mate! Later on!
