on Unleashed by Alcraine
Yeah mate, I've had that happen a few times. I call 'em "Happy accidents" or "Ghostin cruise control". Ya get in that zone and a sorta tunnel-vision thing happens (just like in Biker Boyz). And though I dig this tune, I don't think its quite at 'banger' status. Don't get me wrong, the composition rocks, but I'm thinkin that it needs just a lil extra juice for that excitement kick, ya know? Like periodically throwin some effects (say Flanger & Bit-Machine) on the keys, same thing with the horns (ie, reverb w/diminished echo). And the drums're def thumpin, though if it were my mix I'd consider throwin on some deep sub-hum sine bass to go along with 'em. Otherwise, this is a really good foundation. Keep bangin on mate. Lates!
on Bring it by Alcraine
Sorry for the rant/ramble there, let's talk about the track.
As I see it, this def has potential. On its own it does sort of miss the mark (because of its brevity). For that I'd suggest stretching it out by about 3x its current length. Won't talk about the mix-down process as I've discussed it enough already IMO. Work on both of those things (and maybe consider adding a vocalist, though I dunno, I kinda like this instrumental as is) and you'll be golden. Keep bangin on mate. Lates!
on Terror And Peace On My Side by Alen9R
Kinda like Cinematic HH IMO. Def could see a cool vid being made for this. And though I really enjoy hearing instrumentals I feel that this is really suited for vocals. Have any MCs jumped on this on yet (I'd like to hear it if they have). Decently serious vibes here mate. Lates!
Thanks again for the review,much appreciated as always!

on Nice Lil Ass Back There ReMix by Alen9R
Excellent fade in on the intro. When the synth kicked in I thought it was go in another direction (kinda reminds me of an old NES game, haha). Though it has a sort of Prodigy-like vibe to it. And LOL @ the voc-sam ya used on here. The only thing I could think to suggest for this is to punch up the bass a lil, bring back the lead synth just a tad, and def extend this puppy out by about another 2 minutes, give or take. Otherwise, this is a pretty solid jam mate. Lates!
Thanks for the suggestions, I will definitely take this suggestions, when I worked on this again!
Thanks mate for review and listening,much appreciated!

on Wake up by Alcraine
Play 2 now...
I like the mix of houses on this (new skool with old skool). Can see this going either way vocally. Though because of the low-heavy groove of this mix I think that it might be better suited for a female MC (unless you could find a dude that goes at a higher register, like Q-Tip or somethin). Still gotta watch yer levels on the mix-down, but otherwise this is a really solid piece. Keep bangin 'em out mang. Lates!
on Save Ur Self by Alcraine
Haha, that voc-sam is nutty mate. Dunno how I feel about it (probably wouldn't mix it myself, but to each their own). Really diggin the panning treatment on the drums (keen loop too). And that's prolly the most solid piece of this composition. Kinda minimal in its treatment elsewhere though, but that's cool. The only thing I'd suggest is that ya consider throwin on some bass elements to this (unless this is just somethin you were havin fun with, not bein serious). Def interesting approach. Lates!

on Memory of a summer night by Nequissimus
I can see where you were comin from with this one (the picture you painted in the description). Though for some reason I envision being on a sail boat coasting along the bay towards open water. Something about it shouts about smelling the sea air as it blows across the bow and through my hair. Seeing the sunlight dance across the little waves. The way the deck bobs & rolls along. If I were scripting a video for this that's what I'd do it on. Cool vibes here mate. Lates!
PS. When are ya gonna upload some
more stuff, I've covered all the
tunes you got up now, :0
I just uploaded a 6th track ;-)
on Twin Galaxies by Nequissimus
Pretty cool fusion of Trance & House here mate! When this started playing I kept hearing computerized vocals (like in the stylings of Benni Benassi, Chromeo, and similar). Could def see this being turned into a much longer set, so I might haveta play with doin a remix of this too, if ya don't mind (House is sorta my home genre, ya see). Will letcha know & am gonna save/fave this one for sure. Thanks for sharing mate. Lates!
Greetings,

on Dark Sky by Nequissimus
Have you ever seen the film Brotherhood of the Wolf? That's kinda what this reminds me of, namely that one scene where the maiden is trying to get that one sheep who has fallin into a sink hole (right before the monster attacks). Odd how my view differs from the relaxed nature of the track (but its what came to mind, {shrugs}). The pads & drums on this are pretty wicked (dunno how I feel about the storm sounds, but its whatev, ya know). Solid stuff mate. Lates!
on Die Jagd by Nequissimus
There's a section on the upload screen where you can add the lyrics (just FYI and all that). This is some pretty abstract stuff (def diggin the effects ya threw onto the vocals). And the accompanying song is pretty bad @$$. Though I'd suggest going back to rework some of the levels to add more of a solid dynamic to the track (place the vox @ say 0, the bells & beat at -1.5, the bass @ -2 or -2.5, etc.). Otherwise this was pretty tight. Later on!

yeah this was my third song on ableton so i didnt know my way around lol ,
on Evil Gas by KylerClevenger
on Loneliness.. by HotKot
on Ringing Stage by Alcraine
This is just my opinion, but I'd consider ditchin that canned-applause, because it usually seems cheesy if the song isn't actually being played live (and most folks can tell, ya know). Diggin the subtle bass & drums on here. Though if it were my mix I'd bump 'em up just a tad (but not too much, don't want 'em overpowering the strings you got goin on). Nice abstract HH piece ya threw at us mate. Lates!
Recently I switched from Fl to Ableton live intro. Maybe I will sample this later. Anyways the track I'm reworking is "Raw" if you could give me some input on that one it would be awesome. Thanks for the review
on No Idea Where Im at by Alcraine
No offense mate, but the Xylophone (?) on here had me thinkin back to the Seasame Street record I had when I was a kid (kind of a cool flash back there). The beats're nice, as are the bass, but if I were to suggest anything it'd be to add a secondary bassline to this (somethin like some basic piano keys, but set around C2 or C3). And think about throwin in some variation (breaks & lulls, isos & different pairings {like the bass & drums only}). Otherwise, yer pretty much on your way with this one. Keep bangin on!
on G style piano beat by Alen9R
Def sweet keys goin on here mate. And I dunno why, but this sounds vaguely familiar- Have any folks collabed with you on this beat to make a mix of this on here (posted to their page)? Hmm, either way I might have to take this & do somethin with it (the urge is too strong, haha). Will letcha know. Cheers!
I think I have to go to your profile, and check out more of your music since you left me 3 great reviews..haha
on Women And Child Collab with AllenV by Alen9R
Sort of a driving piece here. And in relation to the beginning of the song it makes me think of a family frantically trying to outrun a storm (high speed down the highway). Pretty cool stuff here. The only thing that I could think to suggest is to combine the piano and the guitar more. Otherwise this is a pretty solid piece. Lates!
Thanks DV for review, much appreciated!
on Love be with you by lofthouse
Dunno why, but this kinda reminds me of a mix between Depeche Mode & Orgy. And I'm enjoying the effects ya got on the vox (how they match the synth's sound). Kinda takes me back to 93 for some odd reason. The only thing that I could think to suggest for this is for you to repeat the "Danger danger" part of the vox (that's what I'd do if I were mixing this). Cool stuff mate. Lates!
on Wide Swing by Gsusfrk
Yep, this is def sick. Though it does seem to be comin out a lil hot in the mixdown (hadta turn my speakers down a lil, just FYI). Which is a shame coz I kinda wanted to blast this (for full effect). Will say that that bass ya got on here is thrummin my sub though. Could only imagine what this'd sound like in a can w/15's (take yer breath away, maybe, haha). Am diggin the synths too. Cool jam mate. Lates!

on Side Step by ULTRAPHONICS
Def has a nice dark vibe goin on. Kinda takes a minute to really pick up, but once it does, whooo boi look out, haha. The only thing that I could think to suggest for this is to expand it out & make like a mini-session (say 15-20 mins). Coz this just has that feel to it (like it wants to be longer). Beyond that this is nicely done. Keep bangin on mate. Lates!
on uskkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk by mrE
Nice jam mate. Kinda reminds me of what it'd be like if they did a space opera version of Just The Two of Us (Will Smith's version or whatev). I could imagine this being used for several things (DJ sets of multi-genres, infomercials/commercials, documentaries, dramadies, etc.). Cool stuff here. Cheers!
