on Lets Make Android Babys by visionarysoundsystem
We like a bit of sub bass round here so this tunes going down well. I love the little samples and the minimalistic approach. Kind of makes me think i should go back to doing techno for a while. It's a dying breed on this site at the moment so cheers for flying the flag for those of us who "get it".
Really enjoyed this little number.

on There U Were by TuneDef
I like your lyrics and i like the track but the clarity of the mic is a little overbearing. Have you tried putting a screen up in front of it when you sing? It kills off all those dynamics that you don't want such as the proximity effect (when you say p's & s's)
You clearly have talent and it's a shame to have unwanted mic effects spoiling the track.
Anyway, aside from that i enjoyed the track so thumbs up.

on Your Time Will Come by Diskonnect
Pretty epic intro. I like the sounds that i'm hearing and it's making me think i gotta get another copy of ableton as i always like what i hear when i play stuff made in that DAW. Really good synth leads, heavy basses and great melodies. You definitely gotta get this on your work computer!
Great stuff EB.

Thanks dude, Im glad you liked the intro. Ableton is a great program but of course most of the sounds come from the array of plugins I use. I would highly recommend getting some native instruments stuff as it is fairly simple to use and sounds great too! And I got Ableton installed on the laptop as i managed to get administrator privileges, yay!!

on Feel The Rhythm by RenzWilde
This is cool mate. Very retro sounding indeed. I could be back in 1982 (wish i was, life was easier then!)
Great combination of synth sounds. You can tell that you like Kraftwerk and bands like that.
The vocal sampling was cool and i reckon this is the best track of yours i've heard yet.
Cracking stuff Renz

RenzWilde replied 2nd Jun 2014 - 12 years ago
Thanx FR. I find the 80's pop synth sound fun. Simple, maybe cheesy but fun. And I connect to that sound.

I like a lot of different albums but the first time I heard The Man- Machine by Kraftwerk absolutely knocked me out. Not trying to imitate them but highly influenced by them.

on the enormous cost of unchecked ambition by drmistersir
This is trippy, it kind of sounds like a d&b tunes that's hiding behind the industrial. It's pretty manic. I like the guitars and the vibe of the track. The sampling is good as well.
Just a little too short.

on A Nostalgic Sound by RealProblemShuckers
I always enjoy a good bit of square bass and you've complimented it well with that synth. I like the bit where it breaks down to the piano, that sounds well old school and we like a bit of that round here. I also like the sneaky drum rolls as well.
Good work. Keep it up.

on The Hypnotist - Miracles by Indozizz
Nice trance number with good progression and arps. The kick is hardly audible though so i'm guessing you used headphones? Or did you do that on purpose? Still the melodies are really nice as are the pads. Nice melodic breakdown and i like the arrangement.
Excellent melodies as a said before but the kick needs turning up. Thats all you have to do.

on That Whiskey Diet by topvega
I seem to be having the opposite problem to you. Signed off work with far too much time and not enough money. Anyway, this is sounding like a solid bit of rock music. It doesn't matter that theres no lead because the rhythm is fat. Niceley blended with the bass and the drums which are also very good.
You should tell UPS to stick it and make more tunes because i for one am enjoying your style.
FR
topvega
topvega replied 2nd Jun 2014 - 12 years ago
Right on Bro...I would love to tell UPS to stick it. If it was a 9 to 5 job I could tolerate it, but they force the OT down your throat. I agree most of the song holds up without a lead guitar. A couple parts need something. Either a tasty guitar lick or an Organ/Keyboard. Appreciate you giving it a listen and leaving some feedback.

on mini mix by smallpaul
Thought i'd give this another outing as i haven't heard it for a while. Who says limited to one comment each huh. I do really like this because it doesn't sound like mario on ketamine.
It was quite a bold move releasing this amongst a barrage of Nitr8 remixes. I really like the soft synth sounds you use as i seem to have very little of those in my arsenal. I think my favourite part is the last bit with the old school vibe and the vocals. The trouble with making tracks so long is that i wonder if anyone actually bothers listening to the end. I've had a few comments where people have said they liked both the tracks when there were three but hey ho.
At least they weren't indian robots. Niiice trumpet!

on Think About It feat LilBrams - Last Call by TuneDef
Smooth grooves coming at ya from tunedef. I've listened to a few of your tracks now and you sure know how to nail the R&B genre. That piano lick is excellent and you've done wonders with the vocal work. It makes me wish my singing didn't sound like sean ryder from the happy mondays (at best)
Really enjoyed this piece.

on Dat Bass Tho by RealProblemShuckers
56 plays and nobody bothered to comment. I get p*ssed when i see that. This is a good track, that bassline is fat and progresses niceley through the track. Nice piano leads and good use of harmonisation, I like the beats and the synth has a kind of chinese feel to it. The transitions are good and i'd say this is a good track. Don't understand why it got such little attention. But i guess thats looperman for ya.
Cheers for sharing.
FR
FreeRadical
And we're niceley in with the piano lick. It's got a tropical vibe to it. Nice sunny and uplifting. That brass sounds really authentic. Is that a synth or do you play it your self with instruments? I have to say i'm very impressed with this. It's a splendid arrangement and everything about it shines.
Great piece.

on TheRiot504 feat Courtney Hyan - Limitless by TheRiot504
Nice blend of vocals and funky bass sounds. You've really built the track well around those vocals.
Like the piano licks and the arrangement is excellent.
I'm glad i stopped by to enjoy this track.

on Seplicate V2 by Spivkurl
Spivs having a run of tunes ending in "ate" huh? Like those squelchy synths, what is that sound? Love the way it sort of swaps from tech house to house. Nice touch with the vocals. It's a pretty complex track with lots of layers and switches that keep it interesting (not like my repetative drivel)
What i love about your stuff is you never know what you're going to get and this is a pretty complicated sounding piece. It must have taken you a while to put this together.
Good stuff.
FR
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied 29th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Heh, leave it up to you to notice the title thing! After searching a little, I don't think this is a word yet! I guess I'm not sure which sound you mean by "squelchy synths"... do you mean the higher frequency acid sort of bass sound? If that's the one you mean, that's a patch I set up on Fabfilter One, which I must say is a pretty high quality sounding synth. Kind of heavy on the CPU, but worth it I think. I really don't know a lot about house, just trying to do my own version of it I suppose. I think it is pretty complicated, because I kept crashing the DAW with this one, like every time I tried to render a new mix or whatever. By mastering time my CPU was at 99%. I'm going to add some things to make this better soon, and maybe redo the effects a little, because theres some things about it that bother me. I like taking people off guard with my songs, so I'm glad you like that too! Mostly done in two days, with a little more mastering work on a third. Partly because of the crashes, and partly because of the effects bothering me. Thanks much for taking a listen!

on Dreaming In Blue by Orlando51
Cool intro, reminds me a little of Pink Floyd. Now the guitar starts and in with the beat. Yeah man this is slow and funky.
Really good collaberation you've done here. The two styles mix really well. Ed's guitar and your piano make a splendid combination, the clarity is superb and you've hit this one out the park. I'm becoming quite a fan of yours Orlando.
FR
Orlando51
Orlando51 replied 29th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Well...that intro...while it's not among my best, it was still
just good enough to keep it in, and yeah, maybe it is a bit floydish. Overall it turned out quite nicely, although there were many other alternatives in question, but here is the version I decided on...so be it.:)
About becoming my fan...ughhh...this is almost scary thought to me...ofcourse it's nice to have that kind of following, but on the other hand it brings some kind of responsibility with it and sort of burden of pressure not to disappoint.:)

Anyways, many thanks again for your positive comment and support...

With much appreciation_____Orlando

on Zombie party by johnnyproducing
Nice intro, reminds me of "a forest" by the Cure (one of my all time favourite cure tracks) Oddly enough i've been working on a version of that but so far i'm thinking yours is much better. I got to get me that synth that you use. It's got some pretty wicked sounds on it.
Enjoyed listening to this piece. Especially the key change bit, that was a pretty interesting move.

Well I took a listen to "a forest" and it indeed has a bit of that feel, not fully but I can see what you mean.
Haha well I don't remember what I used for this anymore, could have well been sytrus in some parts hahaha. Anyways thanks ;) Glad you liked the song further

on Nightr8 - Renz Wilde Remix by RenzWilde
Well since i've reviewed all three of your tracks i thought i'd review this one again as i haven't heard much of this song on the site much these days.
I think you're quite audatious to take on a remix so early in your looperman career. And as i said before it's a good effort and well mixed.
I might even add a bit more to my nitrate remix now.

RenzWilde replied 29th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Thanx FR...I think.

au·da·cious

1. showing a willingness to take surprisingly bold risks.

2. showing an impudent lack of respect.

I'm pretty sure from your encouragement and positive feedback since I've been here that you meant audacious as in bold. If for some reason you meant that I was showing a lack of respect, you couldn't be more wrong. I privately messaged Spiv from the beginning and let him know what I was doing and he enthusiastically gave me the green light. He'll confirm that if you ask him.

Plus, we still gotta plan that Looperman festival in India, remember? Does August work for you? That should be plenty of time to organize everything

I'll have to listen to this properly tomorrow as i'm on the lap top speaker. Sounding pretty good so far. Like the way you used the vocoded nitrate as an instrument. It's definitely interesting hearing different peoples mixes of it and seeing how different they turned out. (i think this is about the fourth version i've heard today)
Good job with the remix.

This is really chilled man. Like the vocal you used, niceley chopped up and blended in.
I'd like to hear someone spit a few verses over the top of it.
I liked the flange effect transition half way through and i like the way you've arranged it.
Did you get that vocal from here?

Can't help out with the singing as i sound terrible but what i can say is that this is a nice pop arrangment. It's very bubbly and bouncy once you get past the intro. Like the way you carried the piano theme through the track and it's a good mix.
Also dig that saxophone.

on Spivkurl - Nightr8 Knnetic Remix by Yerite
Well i haven't heard this before lol. Just thought i'd tune in and see what you did with it. Like the looping of the electronic Niiitraaate. You know i say i haven't heard this before but it's incredible how many different takes there are on it. This is actually really cool and i like it. Those wobbly basses and breakdowns are excellent. You've really given it your own personal touch.
I enjoyed this version.
