Ah yes! Now this is what i call a QUALITY piece of music. It sounds like you guys met up at the studio and recorded this.
Farisha sounds excellent and i'm wondering why i haven't had a go with one of her pellas yet.
The mix quality is superb and the choice of notes are a perfect compliment to that excellent vocal.
This is something for other listeners to aspire to.

I've listened to a few of your tracks and i think you've got a good, unique sound. It kind of reminds me of sonic youth with a touch of the Ramones or something.
The frantic mixture of grungy guitars, fast drumbeats and distorted vocals makes a great combo.
The vocal needs to be more upfront as already stated and maybe a little less mid range and a bit more treble on the guitars to stop it crowding the bass.
You have great ideas and play them very tightly so i reckon with a little more work on your mixdowns you could really up the ante.
FR

This is just what i needed to hear after a day of things going completely wrong from start to finish. This uplifting piece of musical tranquility has just lifted the frown from my face.
But i also have alterior motive for coming here as well. I haven't spoken to kevin for a while because i left the site for a couple of years, But i was wondering where he'd got to so when i saw the forum post saying his pains had got worse i thought i'd stop by and wish him well.
We've missed his banter round here as well as his spacey ambient vibes (which i'm still listening to by the way)
Anyway, I hope things improve for z2z & wish a time will come again that he can rejoin us.
In the mean time i'm going to play this track again.

Sick of me? Wha? We've never even met before!
Joking aside i thought i'd come and check out what you do as i saw your forum post about doing vocals.
You're very good my friend. I'm hardly an expert on R&B but it sounds like i'm listening to someone who is.
The lyrics are great, the melody is well thought out and it blends together smoothly and effortlessly. That's points scored in all the areas that count as far as i'm concerned.
I don't have any tracks currently that require a vocal but i will certainly drop you a line when i do if you don't mind?
Good skills.
FR

I saw your name pop up in the featured tracks so naturally i hit the play button. Love the big nasty growling bass lines in this. It reminds me a little of Orbitals darker stuff which can only be a good thing.
I like the way you've taken an unusual approack to the structure of the track. It's very sci fi sounding and has plenty of atmosphere to it.
Perhaps it would be better categorised under the "breakbeat" genre as it doesn't follow the standard 4 to the floor pattern. Really enjoyed this piece and i've added it to my MP3 so i can jam it in the car later.
Nice one!
FR

I'm already a fan of Alen's D&B work so it would stand to reason that i was going to like this. You have the skill thats required to take a loop and make it your own which is what it's all about. Nice melody, bass lines ands build ups make this number a pleasure to listen to.
Great track.
FR

The one thing that annoys me about this site is great tracks like this slip by with a measly two comments. Love your production, love your choice of sounds, love the vibe of the track, love the transitions and i cant say a bad word about it.
You've just gained a new fan.
FR

Ah this is something i can relate to better. A cascading effect of subtle blended sounds and breakbeats makes this one a winner in my book. It reminds me a little of the stuff Orbital did towards their final years as a duo. Well it did up until the part where that fat distorted square bass thing came rumbling in, Now it sounds more like Bad Company or something. A nice transition that was.
If the download button was on it would have been pressed and that should really tell the rest of the story.
A blinder of a track Mr Dubchip.
FR

I hear you, It's annoying when you get those tracks where you just end up listening to the same bars going round and round. I normally just "lose" them for a while and then sometimes when you find them again it sometimes just clicks. Your perseverence has paid off in this one though. I like you choice of accapellas, You blend them in stylishly and i like the way you keep on changing the pace of the track. It's slow one minute, then it picks up, drops back again, picks up etc.
This is a great demonstration of what you can achieve with a little time and patience.
He shoots! He scores!
FR

Sounds pretty authentic to me mate. All that's missing is the vocals. Stylishly mixed as always Carlos. I love your mowtownesque retro grooves. Always very uplifting and well produced.
Another "he shoots! he scores!" moment from yourself.
FR

This tune has a lot of good elements to it. I particularly enjoyed it from the second half of the track when you introduced the chord sounds.
I would have liked to have heard a little more going on with the drums but aside from that i have no complaints.
A good solid tune.
FR

Well since dubstep aint really my area i thought i'd come check out a D&B tune instead. I'm glad i did. This is excellent! It wouldn't sound out of place on the D&B arena cd i just PAID for.
Makes me wonder why i bothered since i could have just got some tracks from you.
FR

This is a good piece of banging techno. Nice choice of dark mechanical sounds. I like the way it keeps on building and holds the vibe until the pads drop.
I like your style & i could easily work with you.
If you want a remix of this done then just mail me.
Superb!
FR

This is one mighty good piece of work here. Your guitar variations are just crazy on this track. The only thing that's missing from it is a bit of vocal and i can't very well moan about something that isn't there. So i won't.
Really enjoyed this funky, upbeat and fun funky number!
Especially because you did the drum beat as well. I know that's not your area so bravo for that!
FR

This is a fine piece of craftsmanship if i may say so. I like the way you've taken an almost trance like approach to the track.
Those pads are excellent as is the synth work.
You've got a lot of interesting ideas and the mixing skills to pull it off.
Spot on.
FR

"Give me some"! This is well retro. Loving the silky smooth production which never seems to go astray in you mixes.
It reminds me a little of the Eurithmics "sweet dreams" or something from that kind of era.
If you could find a vocal it would be the icing on this particular cake. There's nothing to pick fault with the track so that's all i can suggest really.
Great work and i also have to say, congratulations on achieving your world record for most profile pictures posted in a first week. Bravo!
FR
FR

Loving your deep analogue bass grooves throughout the track. Dark and heavy. Your mix quality is nice and clean. It would be great if you could find a vocal to go over it because that would sound extra fat.
Nice piece of tunage!
FR

Digging this piece. This reminds me off the stuff we used to 'av it large to back in the day.
Nice breakbeat patterns and that drop into the guitar riff was a nice touch.
I love the oldschool flavour of this track.
Rock Mustard!!!
FR

There's a lot of good things going on here. I like the melodies (especially the choir type thingamy jig (yeah i know my technical talk like the back of my hand)
There's lots going on in the way of beat switches which keeps the track interesting.
I would suggest that a little bit of percussion to accompany the drums could add another layer of depth to it & if you could find a vocal which worked then that would just be the icing on the cake.
Good work. You should continue with it and make it excellent work.
FR

I love the way that everytime i stop by you have a different photo up. I couldn't get rif of my mug shot quick enough.
Anyway, i'm here to talk about the track so here goes. Absolutely fantastic piece of music, Reminds me a little of incognito or maybe Ronnie Jordan. Perfectly blended together pice of Jazz and i'd go as far as saying the best jazz piece i've heard in a long time. The electronic bassline that holds the backbone of the track creates an excellent vibe throughout and compliments all the more natural sounding instruments perfectly.
Outstanding!
FR

When you said you had a sore throat i was expecting it to be terrible. But it isn't! Ok you can tell your throat went a bit dry in a few places but it gives it a sort of "dylan" kind of flavour (& we all know how sucessful that man was)
Hats off for doing the singer song writer thing. It's a brave and fine effort.
FR

I've been perusing through your tracks and i don't know if you're aware, but this is bloody brilliant mate.
It sounds like there's a little bit of massive attack influence going on there. That vocal is superb and compliments the bas and guitar perfectly.
Really enjoyed this piece and i've downloaded it to enjoy it again.
Top tune!!
