on Angel Song by HypeC
on KEYS by djobe
Pretty interesting key treatment here. I like the way the leads & pads interweave & play with eachother (also dig the background effected synths, nice touch). And though the beats're cool I'd suggest lowering their volume a bit and maybe slightly restructure them, because as is they sound more like Hip-hop than R&B (IMO). Beyond that this was a pretty groovy joint. Lates!
on HERE WE GO by Planetjazzbass
Play 2 now...
Cool ethnic drums going on here (you could add World to the genre list mix too). And those vox sound so familiar (they remind me of Chuck D from Public Enemy). The only thing I'd think to suggest is to maybe ditch the female vox (as they don't seem as cool as the main male stuff). The funk is def strong with this one (waves hands, not in that in-front-of-the-nose way, but in that like-I-don't-care way, haha). Keep bangin on mate. Lates!
on Fear Of The Dark by Alen9R
WOW, great Transformers-esque intro sounds here mate! You don't have that avail as a loop on here by any chance? Would be great to play with, me thinks. Though I kinda LOL @ the following synth build from around 0:20 - 0:34 because it reminds me of the Price Is Right wheel sound (or is it the one from Wheel of Fortune, can't remember now, but you know what I mean, right?). I also dig the soft vocals ya have going on. This is a pretty serious tune mate. Gonna haveta save/fave it. Thanks for sharing. Lates!
lol...Price Is Right this is like a gameshow TV series in usa, something like that,right!
Well,thanks mate for review, fav.,and dload ,much appreciated!

on Against My Will by Alen9R
This is some mellow happy hip-hop. Kinda comin from abstract place (like I usually do with my HH stuff). I'm betting you'd be hard pressed to find an MC on here with the gumption to jump on this track (odd considering the number of HH-heads on here, ya know?). I might be wrong though (kick it out there & see what happens). Anyways, I'm diggin the Pizzi (?) sequence and bass the most on here. Cheers!
DV thanks once again for the great review!

on Cemetary Road by ChuckBaileyBand
I kinda agree with Nuada, they are a little distracting at first. Though as the track progresses it adds a very nice live-in-concert feel to the song. I think this a really good working draft, though I would recommend re-recording the vocals for the final master (also consider getting some back-up singers to join you). Beyond that the track is superb (course Bil's a guitar wiz & the drums are keen too). Keep bangin on. Lates!
on Overthink Chuck Bailey f Big Pete and Slap J by ChuckBaileyBand
Interesting combo mate. Kinda wish there was more horn action though. And despite the sorta sad vocals this would make for some good road-trip music. 'Specially for the foothills of the Appalachians. Cheers!
on Just What I Like by eshar
I absolutely love the slap bass on here. And the sax is cool too (though I'm thinkin that it might be comin out a bit too hot in the main mix). I'd also consider bumping up the drums a little as they seem sorta subdued as is. Beyond that, you can def never go wrong with this type of fusion (as they seem to go hand-in-hand like some Reece's cups). Cool stuff chica. Lates!
on Defibrillator by Gsusfrk
Cool key treatment ya got here. Very spaced-out (in a sci-fi sorta way). As for the name, it reminds me of my track, Blood Pressure (has a similar vibe too, but the beat isn't as traditional as this one is). Sorry if that seemed like a shameless self-promotion (wasn't my intent). Just found it oddly similar is all. And you can never go wrong with getting a strong sounding name when you use medical terminology (even the crazy Latin stuff sounds cool, like, say, Vena Cava). Speaking of which, I think its a very apt name, because of the way the bass sounds all squishy like a pulse. Anyways, nicely done mate. Lates!
on Beat Down by Gsusfrk
I'm thinkin that this is Drum-step. Course, as I may've mentioned before, I'm not an well-informed consumer of either Drum or Dub-step. The bass is def dead-on from what I know about it. And the only thing I could think to suggest is to bump up that "whoa-whoa" sounding synth you've got on here (as it sound killer if it was louder). The synths on here remind me of NASA stuff for some odd reason. Anyways, cool stuff mate. Lates!
THanks again,
STeve
on Jumper by Alen9R
Isn't finished ay? What else do you have planned for it aside from mastering? I'm thinkin it sounds pretty good as is. Though if I were to suggest anything it'd be to add some stuff to the higher ends (like some bells similar to what The Prodigy did on that one song on the Invaders Must Die album, or bump up the levels of that sine pad {?} and possibly accentuate it by adding some soft choral Oohs coming in slightly behind them). Otherwise this is pretty jammin mate (the bass & bass changes were my fav bits of it). Lates!
somehow is embarrassing, that in 20 days I was not able to do something useful with this tack!I will definitely work on this track, but frankly
I do not want to rush!
Thank you DV for review and suggestions!

on True Lies by Alen9R
Sorta reminds me of what would've happened if Depeche Mode had connected with Jim Henson's sound crew (this would fit perfectly in a movie like Labyrinth or Time Bandits). Listening to this again I can tell ya put alot of time & energy into this baby. Its refreshingly clear. Going to def have to save/fave this one. Great stuff mate. Lates!
Many thanks for review,fav and dload !

on Introspection (one) by hmoy
I'm definitely digging the abstract nature of this. This is like a mix of Cinematic, Abstract, & Noise all rolled into one. Would be great to go behind a digital art exhibit, ya know? Interesting stuff mate. Lates!
on Introspection (two) by hmoy
Coming from part one of this I was interested to hear how this progressed. Pretty same vibe going on, though I'm digging how this has an almost Sci-fi feel to it. The only thing I could think to suggest for this is to add some more light percs. Also think that maybe having some inaudible vocals of people speaking somewhere in it would add tremendous dynamic to the piece (think of what Robert Miles did on his album Organik, the song Separation, if I remember right). Otherwise, this is a pretty cool journey into sonic workings. Lates!
Thanks for the review mate!!
on DJ Nicolas CAT - Nobody knows me better than You ( by nickCAT
Yeah, this is a pretty cool tune. As for what sergio said about 'repetitive' it is, but it isn't. I'm thinking that if you want some more variation on this I'd consider throwing in 1 or 2 more stops like you had @ around 2:55). Also, try dropping out certain elements here & there (like the drums from this one spot, the bass from the next, etc.). Lastly, I would highly recommend adding some pads to this (as that would make this complete, me thinks). Otherwise, decent stuff mate. Lates!
on Dj Nick CAT - Guetta stlye by nickCAT
Interesting little teaser ya threw at us mate. About vocals, what kind were you looking for (male/female, singing/rapping, language, etc.)? Of the stuff on here I'm thinking that AnomalyJ's stuff might really suit this (something soulful, ya know?). Only thing I could think to suggest is to add more to the bass on the low-end (like copy the saw-like synth, drop it down by 2 octaves to, say C2, and go with a sound font like a sub-hum or something). Otherwise, this is a pretty nice foundation track ya got going. Lates!
on Going away by Alcraine
Dunno why, but this kinda reminds me of a mix between Linkin Park & The Fray. And truth be told, I'm thinkin that this should remain as is (somehow think that vocals would detract from its coolness). I'd also like it if this were longer, as I feel that it has real huge potential. Kinda thinkin that it could morph into some sweet 5-10 min Trance mix (all it'd need then are some sweeping pads). Beyond that this baby is good to go. I just wanna sit back n listen to it. Cheers!
on Dont F With Me Major by Alcraine
Just sounds like it needs to be remastered. Pretty crazy the way its comin outta my speakers. Makes me think that its being played underwater. Keep workin on it mate. Lates!
on guitar composition 2 by sparktheflame
on BIGKEYBEATS - Do Your Step (hardstyle mix) by BIGKEYBEATS
Interesting stuff mate. Though TBH Hardstyle aint a genre that I normally get into (once in a while its fun to listen to & play with). And I dunno if its something on my end or if there was something funny on your end when you recorded/rendered this, because it sounds as if its coming through a loose connection (really evident out of the left speaker). Maybe its just the way you mixed it (and added distortion effects to it?). Dunno, but its something ya might wanna look into mate. Anyways, besides the funky playback this was pretty cool. Keep bangin on. Lates!
on Military Zone - Farisha (ESP Remix 2) by focus99
on DJ DragoN-Traveling by DJsDragoN
Yeah, I get the whole 'Traveling' thing because the way this starts makes me think of a train speeding through the countryside. Kinda wish the Railway system over here hadn't been left to flounder (would be nice if flying & driving weren't the main options, ya know?). One of the reasons that I'd like to swing by Europe some time, because it'd be great to be able to spend a weekend just exploring the different places. Falling back on the track, I dig the groove, but kinda wish there was more going on at the higher end (more lead sequences, another softer pad, etc.). Otherwise this is a decent foundation ya got here. Lates!
on DJ DragoN-Babel by DJsDragoN
Sorry to hear about your grandma mate. I know where you're coming from because mine had Alzheimer's before she passed. She was still there, but her mind was mostly gone.
As for the tune...
This sounds oddly familiar (parts of the key treatment). Did you remix this or did someone else do a remix of this or...? Though the remix part makes sense because I could see this being thrown into a wicked Drum&Bass mix (has that flavor to it IMO). As is, it has an interesting vibe (not yer typical Trance fashion). Makin me think that it belongs to some sub-genre that I have yet to stumble upon. Suggestive-wise, I'd mostly fall back on what I was saying about the whole Drum&Bass remix. Otherwise this is pretty cool. Lates!
