Hippies. Now grab yer gun and kill, kill, kill! Haha, naw really, I wish things were more laid back like this track. Which if I'm not mistaken I detect a hint of Hindu (or eastern) influence? This song is very Enigma of you mate. Though personally, I think yours is blended better. Later on!

Knuckle, bumpin that @$$ for a thumpin. I don't give a F***, I've been crazy lately, what? Nothin just as I thought, smackin at each mosquito and gnat. Choppin 'em down like dat. Back down to earth I smirk a crooked smile- as I hear the s-p-l-a-t!
(angry guy passes mic to silly guy)

Eh man gimme dat, and easy back, while I lay 'em out. Sprayin saleen from my mouf, casting out shades of doubt and heavy heals, like dey gramma's gout. And now that I've got you in my clutches, I'll cast aside your crutches, while I try to undermine the lining of yer underoos, who me, yes you, chubby chick in the center, have you ever pulled up to a light at night just to get rear ended, imagine my lips on your thighs, kissing light, so soft and tender, but remember- we can't tell a soul, that i stuck it in the wrong hole, opps, it was an accident I swear it, that right there, I wouldn't dare it, I just slipped when i went to hit it, and shit! Now you'll need some clean sheets!?...

(silly guy passes it off to reviewer)
So yeah, I was in my rando mode and just busted out the above. I almost did a third (like scolding parent kinda guy), but figured I'd stop while I was ahead (dodges the pun and rolls to the next sentence). This was sweet and I uber love the vocal sample ya used on this. The basic horn stabs are awesome too. The drums are def west coast. Later on!

There's one guy rappin on this that kinda sounds like Cris Rock. I'm sorry, each time he comes on I start laughin.

As for the track, I like how the Guitars are kind of a mix between disco and Rage against the Machine. Very different!

Interesting first attempt at electro. I especially enjoyed the alarm sounding synth near the beginning and the rubbery bass sounds after that. The Guitars were mean, but I liked the Disco wah stuff ya used on here more than the lead riffs. And using a scanner sample for the vocal stuff was brilliant. Good job mate. Lates!

Your table for 5 is ready now. Don't ask me why I thought of that, but being at a restaurant is the first thing that came to mind during the intro.

Haha,

I just looked up and saw the track name. Wow, izn't dat vierd? Course, I was thinkin more like a night out for wings, pool/darts, & beers with the crew though. Anywho, I gotta stop being random now, don't I? (sad face)...

When I saw Deep House I was imagining that this'd hit harder or faster or whatever, but that's cool. This is still high quality House music. The Epiano ya used on this kinda takes us for it's own ride. The drums arrangement is nice (good balance between the highs and lows that're almost divided. The Guitar licks ya played are versative and I could see 'em bein used on a few other types of songs. Later on!

If I asked you this before, but what do you think of 3 Speaker High? In a way I'm kinda reminded of this while I listen to this.

First I'd like to point out that yer bass levels might be up too high (or it's just my speakers). They have that slight distort sound ya get when ya try to push the subs in a car too hard.

Alright, now for the bits I'm really groovin on- The in-&-out of the pads is great. The drums kind of have a pop-funk feel to 'em and the bass fits this like a glove. Ya already know what I think of the Guitars from the band this reminded me of. Thanks for sharing mate. Later on!

Hmm, lemme listen to it and throw out a name suggestion at the end.

The continuous Acidy bass at the beginning is keen. Kinda builds up slow, but those are good for mixin longer sets. The kick-snare combo on the drums is a personal fave of mine (though I don't use it much). So I'm thinkin that this track needs some synth leads. Since it has everything else. Maybe so effects or vocal samples from old speechs here and there to beef it up would be cool to. Alright, now lemme throw out a name suggestion...

Circuit Box, Breaker, Tripping the Switch, Blown Fuse, Mother Board, Direct Current, 9 Volt.

Eh, I dunno. I've got my mind wrapped around electrical currents (shrugs). Though the beat in a way also reminds me of Billy Jean by Michael Jackson. Well mate, let us know when ya finish this. Later on!

And holding on this position. The intro to this is bangin. Those perc-synth sounds ya used are great. The synths themselves are okay, but the part where ya scale their freq all the way up needs to be dropped down a bit (twould be dangerous at higher volumes). The mirrored bass in a nice touch (though maybe you could bring 'em in sooner). The effected synth that sounds like a phone's buzy signal is choice. All in all, I find it how refreshing how off the wall this is compared to other house stuff I've heard (and done). Lates!

It grow. I like the odd sounding harp (?) thing ya got plunkin away every now and then. The guitar melody on this is outstanding. And because of the occasional buzz from not hitting the fret exactly dead on I know ya recorded/played this live. And I'm guessing you had been playing for a while in tha case (where your hands/fingers getting tired/numb?). Small request, could ya add some percs to this (like bongo or tamborine)? Lates!

There's this crackling sound I'm getting as this plays. Dunno if it's the player, the tracks bitrate, or if it was some effect to make it sound older (like on vinyl). Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Anyways, the strings are kinda taking me back to old RPG games (like Zelda or Dragon Warrior). The basses sound fine on my system (shrugs). Lovin the bells and would love to hear more of the Guitar. Besides the crackle I enjoyed this. Later on!

Loosened my watch coz I went to check the time and it started diggin into my wrist. Why? I was thinkin about makin some off the wall comment about what time it was in Zulu. Course, that'd be silly because I don't remember the conversion to here anymore. Eh (shrugs).

(sighs) That was perfect filler to use while waiting for this song to build. (very slow progression) Some would say bad, others would disagree. I'm just gonna say that it's different. And different is perfect in a creative world such as ours.
The vocal sample was awesome (and seems vaguely familiar, was it something from a 90's electro-pop hit?). They synths on this are sweet and I like the way they flutter in and out (wavy-like). The drums are out there? Yeah, they're out there. Kinda distant and moving (like being shot at). They're like a mix of Disco-House and Old skool breaks/Techno. Cool stuff man. Later on!

That's the vibe I'm pickin up from this. Kinda like R&B & Reggae-pop, mixed with Rap beats. Very nice and I'm thinkin if you were to do something with someone on this it could be taken in several different directions. Kinda like Selena's Sittin Up in my Room or something new agey (like Billy Idol or Enya). Possibly even a kinda R Kelly or Bone-Thugs reminiscing joint.

As for production ventures here, you are well on your way mate. Next 2 steps are to improve upon the vibe you got goin on here and then to mess with makin other styles (Booty Bass, Club, Dirty South, New School, Old School, Gangsta, etc.). Thanks for sharing. Later on!

More like it... 5:33's a perfect length for such a head bobber.

Just heard something that made me stop the song at try to isolate it's position. The key lead loop starting at 1:52 sounds like there's a note that's slightly off (it's position or key). Just thought I'd letcha know. The rest sounds great. I took a break from the review and am currently at the part where it's mostly just the bass and drums. Very nice and I'm thinkin is a perfect segay into another track for larger mixes. Swinging back around for another listen the intro drums kinda remind me of Setting Sun by the Chem Bros (scratches head- maybe it's the clapnash snare hit {?} that ya used compared to their kick drum). It was kinda the first thing I thought (back to the clip in the music video for it with the chick in face paint dancing to match that beat). I'm diggin the off-on part of the sound on the bass loops. Thanks for sharing. Lates!

Mikey likes it, haha. Sorry, but I do seriously dig what I hear so far. Tell ya what, I'm just gonna kick back and let this one play while I chill & smoke this Clove. Be back for the second play...

It's too bad we don't have Progressive House as a genre choice on here coz that's what this sounds like to me. Anyways, when it cut off I replayed it and looked at the time- 2:55? That's my only gripe with this is that I was really wanting it to be longer. Dang, my natty high is fading, waaaaaah.
Haha, but seriously, do you think you could stretch this out? Shoot I dunno, maybe to like 10 minutes? Just kidding, I think people my scream overkill or somethin like that if it was, but I'd love it if this was, say, between 4-6 minutes. Ok now for specifics...

Third play now- I love the way the primary Leads of the melody are layered (mixed with the strings and the keys). Though I'm thinkin fading into the sting layer would add more smoothness. The drums are nice and minimum, but do the trick (and I love the way the brush snares or hats {?} play, kinda like a side-to-side shuffle thing). The bass is classic and mellow (though maybe at certain parts they can be beefed up to sound heavier/more pronounced, ?). Either way I'm lovin this and will def sav & fav. Later on!

PS. If you'd like we
could collab on this
maybe.

I'm trying to see it. I can feel the hiphop vibe of this, but I also see it's Fusion roots. And as always, I'm reminded of similar beats produced by the likes of The Crystal Method, Digital Assassins, DJ Baby Anne, DJ Icey, Trip Theory, and others that I'm blanking on at the mo'. Though for the rest of this track it's more like Baby Anne mixed with Trip Theory and possibly even DJ Shadow.

The vocal sample is pretty sweet. As is pretty much everything else. And in relation to the break downs, I'm left wondering if this was looped, sampled, or spun. I'd guess, but probably be wrong. Anywho, nicely done mate. Lates!

Shall receive.
Round 1, the master volume needs to be turned up just a little (it was barely audible at first). Unless you made this with a lengthy fade in and in that case nevermind.
Round 2, I dunno if the genre fits, because even though this has a laidback vibe it still seems upbeat, because of the bass & drums. Not that I'm an expert on genres, but I'm thinkin this is kind of a mix between Trip-Hop, Synth Pop (like newer Madonna, and a little House.
Though it is cool and is kinda remindin me of the song Boomerang by Cirrus mixed with Bjork and the end kinda sounds a little like the stuff found on Fanny Pack's album.
Round 3, I agree with Aiden above about adding extra stuff in the background to provide static filler. In relation to the vocals and the artist Green Velvet you could do something similar to what he did in his track Flash and have various sounds of Cameras thrown in (like shutter when a picture is snapped, the clicks of the flash, the sound it makes on older ones when the film is advanced, the sound it makes when the film is loaded, the sound of the lens' movement as it auto-focuses on newer ones, etc).
Round 4, maybe add some more synths near the end of the song. Like that part where there's a lull in the drums, before the they come back with the Bongos (between 4:00 and 4:30). Dunno what though- some pads, some leads, some of what's already there copied and with effects, shrugs.

Anyways, I really dig what you've got so far. I'd say that you're about 70-90 percent done with this (depending on your end goal for it). Looking forward to hearing the finished result. Later on!

Symbols, names, practices, and rituals. Religion is the opiate of the masses and I choose to smoke it blindfolded, so to speak.
I think the voc sam is strangely appropriate, even as silly as what the man is saying is.

Space, I've never been there, but I'm going to act like I know all about it!

Kinda the same with the afterlife, but this isn't a soapbox so...

As for the song, would it be safe for me to venture to say that you're a big fan of David Lynch? It has this corner Cafe jukebox vibe going on (similar to the stylings of the director). Almost as if it's meant to be background, filler music. Even with the dialog of Hubbard going on. It kind of seems as if even it is coming from the TV and secondary to some scene going on inside the diner. Like the multiple conversations going on at the tables between mystery people. This would be great for a made-for-TV movie or something. Perhaps a drama or suspense? I dunno, but that's what it made me feel. Later on!

Aww man, ya just hadta start this with a sample of Blagojevich or "Bag'o'Sh*t" as I like to call him, didn't you!? Anyways, the reason I picked this song is because of the title. It reminded me of this other song of a similar name by the trio Bozzio-Levin-Stevens on their ablum, Situation Dangerous. A really awesome progressive all-instrumental rock CD that's has a so named song which is pretty b*tchin. Check it out if you haven't already.

Now as for this song, intro sample aside- I liked the other vocal sample that ya used. And it's tone was kickin. The Guitar riffs are of the same caliber that I've come to know from you. The minimal (highs mostly) usage of drums was nice. The simple electro-bluesy basses ya had gave this a kind of retro dancy vibe. Thanks for sharing man. Later on!

Song that this is reminding me of, but I couldn't tell ya who it's by or the name of it. For some odd reason I'm thinkin it's something that Staind did when they started getting into doing more mellow stuff. Now that you're gone or something like that is what I'm think it is.

Anyways, this was a great rendition of the classic. The only thing I beg is that ya do something about the cut off at the end. Other than that I love it. Later on B.

Spaced out and nice sounding. I absolutely, absolutely love the Guitars on this (especially that secondary riff that kicks in after a bit). The vocal melody was nice, but I couldn't really make out what you were saying. It could just be my speakers though, I dunno (shrugs). The crackles I heard, if intentionally placed (and not coming from my speakers, gasps) make it sound old timey (like being played from a phonegraph). Oh, and now that ya have Magix you can go and mess with the effects do make the whole song sound like it's being played from a super old record. Anywho, awesom track mate. Later on!

Funny that I just mentioned Trip-hop in my other comment a few moments ago, because this kinda has that vibe goin on. Course, the synth breakdown that just played kinda takes it down a different path. It's sorta like 2 tracks rolled into one. The first'd be a really killer collab with an MC slingin rhymes while the second would be perfect for a game like Wipeout. Okies, well, I'm off. Lemme know when ya load up some new tunes homie. Later on!

Narrows near the end. That's what the bass sounds made me think. The drums are pretty keen man. I like the way they don't sound mechanical or basic.

And it's over...

Dang, wasn't expecting that. So I'm thinkin that you could either triple or quadruple what you have now to get it up there length-wise. And I'm really digging the intro synths ya got goin on. So maybe you could phase 'em in an out (especially that one that sounds kinda like a siren). Then on the next go around maybe throw in some heavy hittin basses (like mirror what you've got so far, but sub it out with a fingered sound font). And from there...?... Maybe diminish the synth (all the way out or super turned down) and add some long drawn out soft/angelic pads (?). Eh, just some ideas. I'm lovin what you've done so far brah. Later on!

The initial synth sequence reminds me of a chain being beat against a wrestling mat (or a really rusty trampoline). I don't think I've ever heard dub-step before. The way this sounds kinds reminds me of a mix between Ghetto-tech, Glitch, and Drum&Bass. Or like a mix between Mr.Ozio and Ming+FS (with some slight hints of Photek squeezed here and there). Thanks for sharing, I'm thinking this genre'll grow on me just like Trip-hop has. Lates!

Classical. The Keys reminds me of some major symphony, but I just can't think of it's name right now. Wait, scratch that. Dood, this is almost like the theme to Star Wars (79), but I couldn't tell you which one it was. Hells yeah! Did you do that intentionally or was it just random chance? Either way, that should give you oodles of ideas as to how to finish this (just do a search for the score, try to find which song it is, and then do a search for the dance remixes for that song). Looking forward to the finished product. Later on!

I just got Benny Bennassi's latest album and I swear to you the intro to this reminds me of track 1. This is pretty cool (as was the other vers of this). I'm lovin how basic this is because it's giving me ideas.
And since we've discussed another collab, you want I should have a go at making a remix of this (solo or mash-up, maybe). Email me some time about it, ok?
As for the track, I'm lovin the bass and the percs are smooth. Dang, I just had a bad @$$ idea for a possible music video sequence for this (just think of those rotating pivotal lights they got at clubs). Anyways, yer good to go with yer first House venture brah. Later on!
