on Crack in the Attic by WongKiShoo
Alright, This sounds cool as a cucumber mate. Now i see why you were after that sax. Nice floaty vibes just in time for the sunshine. You certainly know how to put a house track together Mr Shoe.
I find it strange that there's only 4 downloads. Quality free music and they still just "me me me" ..... i dunno.

eassssy :p

thanks for the compliment mate! I think it's one of those acquired tastes to be fair n I didn't really expect *that* many people to download it - a lot of people prefer their house music with that avicii (or whatever), david guetta, deadmau5 sort of vibe nowadays.. (look at me talking like an old man!)

I'm gonna go for that sort of "big club" vibe next time me thinks :)

on Stepper Dub by Redgold
Your killing me! i quit smoking pot about a month ago and for some reason this makes me want to start again lol.
Hey! are you still up for people having a jam with this? I'm definitely interested to see what i could add to it.
I've tried to make this sort of stuff before but it always somehow just becomes something else. I think with your expertise and help i might just get somethin to happen.
Love that bassline.....

Redgold replied 2nd Mar 2012 - 14 years ago

You've touched a soft spot of mine here Redgold. I'm really diggin this sort of sound at the moment so i can see i'm gonna be downloading an abundance of your tracks.
Great combo of electric guitar and classic reggae sounds.
Thumbs up high!

on Ice Cream Reggae by pixieboots
It's reggae with an acid twist. Digging your vocals in the track. When i read it was about ice cream i thought "Ok.....here we go"
But it actually works really well. You have a unique approach to the reggae style and we like people who dare to be different.

I've been jamming the fun loving criminals quite a lot just lateley and the only thing missing from this track is Huey Morgan. (that's supposed to be a compliment by the way)
Definiteley Fun-key! love that wah guitar/organ combo.
Cooler than liquid nitrogen!

on Sunday Salsa by eshar
You been having a spring clean Elaine? I see you've scaled your profile down quite considerably. I pressed play on this and for some reason the first thing i thought of was Tequila (i haven't even had a drink for nearly four years)
I love the subtleness of the mix down on this. Minimal efx usage, concentrating on the instruments themselves.
There's some far out guitar play going on in this tune and i could quite easily place it in a tarantino movie like pulp fiction.
Quality!!

on When You Leave - SpellJammer ft Slap Johnson by AllenV
Evening Mr V. Thought i'd stop by and see how things are with you. Hopefully things have picked up a bit for ya since we last spoke?
Anyway, I had to home in on this one. Some of the best talents on the site all jamming together could mean nothing but a track and a half.
The vibe reminds me a little of Kenny G, very mellow and superbly blended together with all the right ingredients.
It sounds like a full live take. was it?
AllenV
AllenV replied 4th Mar 2012 - 14 years ago
Hey Mr Rad...and you are!
I'm glad it sounds like a full take cause'it definitely wasn't.
This collab with Spell and Slap was the hardest thing(but most rewarding)to put together.Spell and I had it completed and uploaded when Slap decided to join us so of course we wanted and were honored to have him be part of this.
My problem is that I'm no producer and haven't the skills or equipment to do everyone justice...I just know what they send will be be ready to go, but I am the last one to layer in my guitar and call it final so my ear is all I have.
When Slap sent several sax parts that he made for the track(he sent me a demo first)I had to match them with the demo to get that feel as though we were all in the same room and played it all together.
So actually it was many parts.Spell had the melody complete with keys,percussion,bass and all the special musical additions.He sent it to me and I layered many guitar parts over his track and when Slap sent his parts.
It took me a while to do it but I'm pleased that it came out so well...and of course that you liked it!

Thanks for reviewing my friend and yes,things are slowly getting better!

Allen.

on Disappear by Saiea
This is a really nice track, Well written and well performed but why did you put it in the electro genre? You'd probably be getting more hits if you went for chill out or electronic.
It's a good track, but it aint electro!
Still, I enjoyed it and that's what counts.

on Quantum by koble
Ah Dennis me ol mukka! How you doing? I saw your name pop up in the featured tracks so i thought i'd stop by and see what's been happening. Nice driving beat to this one, It's a bit electro a bit trance and a bit.....well koble really. There's a nice uplifting feeling which takes it off on a nice bouncy vibe.
One thing though if i may be critical for a moment. There is one lead sound that could do with a little tweaking. Not the chord one if that makes any sense. The riff works but it just sounds a little dry and maybe a bit too far back in the mix.
Other than that minor detail i enjoyed this tune.

on Consequence by 7th
Yeah! This is propper old school, dark techno. Reminds me of being in a dark warehouse, stumbling around off my head thinking "uh oh! Maybe i shouldn't have done that ketamine." lol.
Excellent atmospherics. I love the way you built on it and changed the vibe using subtle effects and introducing new layers.
Not enough good techno about at the moment so this was a nice suprise.

on Apple Orchard by visionarysoundsystem
I liked it from the minute i pressed play. I love that rave piano sound and there's some old classic samples going on there.
I reckon you could bring it up a notch by just throwing in a snappy sounding snare drum. Other than that it's wild, it's in key and it's well produced.
I'm glad i stopped by.

Thanx yet again for the kind review my friend. I agree that this track needs a touch more to it. My excuse for not returning to it yet is that I am waiting for the sun to shine to feed me inspiration to do what I need to do to finish it ! Ha ha it's my excuse & I'm sticking to it. I really appreciate your listen & advice FreeR. Peace, Love & Justice to Ya.

on well lets go then Mr RN73 by oasisduke
You see what you've done? You've got me listening to some more.
I wasn't sure what to expect from the genre "dirty" so naturally i homed in on this one. I like the way it twists, turns and morphs in and out of the various different synth effects. There's elements of hip hop, old school and electro going on and i like the way you kept it short and sweet.
Again, Different from the last few i've listened to so nobody can accuse you of being a one trick pony huh?
Keep on keeping on.

on TOMMY by oasisduke
Ah, One of my favourite genres and i'm not dissapointed. I'm thinking Norman Cook with a little bit of Prodigy and some flavours of Gnarls Barkley. Not a bad mash up if i may say so myself.
If i may make one suggestion then perhaps the bass could come down a notch or two just to enhance the vocal a little more.
A minor complaint really. You've got skills lady!
Bravo!
oasisduke
oasisduke replied 2nd Mar 2012 - 14 years ago
your suggestions are spot on..and me saying i did the "post" work is a bit misleading. this track is part of my demo project, so i havent done post on any of them. no mixing or mastering, just recording and uploading, as im only using them as a blueprint of sorts...to get a feel for the layout of the song, as well as whether or not people dig it enough for me to record and mix a proper version of the track. as previously stated...im a lazy bird...
i love that youre feelin' my work. your listens and reviews are beyond appreciated. thanks for your continued support, and if the monkey that sits on my shoulder and fores me to write 24/7 ever gives me a break, i promise i will get back over to your page and listen/review more of your tracks.
Cheers!

on Pornstar Lullaby by Soap
I'm liking this one. Takes me back to the days when i could go out clubbing without looking like an old bloke who really shouldn't be there. I don't think the quality of it as bad either. It was a little bassy but nothing that the old graphic eq couldn't sort out with ease.
Can't beat a bit of old school techno! Thumbs up.

on Penelope by oasisduke
I'm jealous of your vocal talents O.D. (believe me i've tried but i just sound like one of those losers from the x factor ((at least i realize)) ) You have a knack for songwriting and the musical ability to piece it all together as well. A rare talent on this site and every time i stop by i enjoy what i hear.
Sadly i'm only listening on my crappy lap top speaker so it's hard to give anything other than a praise for hitting the right notes review. But i would like to play this again on my proper sound system when i get a chance. Hopefully that should speak for its self.

DONT YOU DARE LISTEN TO THIS ON GOOD SPEAKERS! lol its a demo...the levels are piss. i really just wanted some feedback on the song itself. the production side will come later...if people confirm this song is good enough to produce.
Thank you soooo much for your kind words. Im so glad you liked what you heard. the listen is much appreciated.
Cheers for the review!

on To The House Beat by WongKiShoo
16 downloads and counting Mr Shoo. Thanks for not being a big stinge and sharing that.
I'm not going to bother with the usual a$$ kissing malarkey as i think a download speaks for it's self. Instead i'd just like to ask what kit you used to do that? I'm looking to broaden my horizons and there's some sounds in that which are unfamilaiar territory to the DAW i'm currently using. You can never have too much ammunition in your arsenal if you know what i mean?
WongKiShoo
WongKiShoo replied 21st Feb 2012 - 14 years ago
Thanks dude, 'preciate it :)

Ummmmm, kit.

I haven't used any hardware, just some vst's..

Drums, percussion and fx - vengeance sample packs.
Basses - sylenth1 for the electro bit,.. sub from nexus
Synths - sylenth1, nexus and vanguard

Surely you've come across those on your travels??

Thanks again!

In a bit mate o/

on Children Slyness - Bellbeat by AndrCS
I like the riff and the beat patterns. You've kept it interesting by adding in some nice little breaks. I can't help feeling that it needs a bit more depth just to chunk it up a bit. Like perhaps a bit of sub bass to compliment the bell riff or maybe a VST synth line.
Nice idea's so far.

on Paradise Road by Planetjazzbass
As Jimmy Kranky would say, Fandabidoozy!! (I dunno if you'll even know who Jimmy Kranky is but that basically means it's bloody brilliant)
What captures me the most is the clarity of this piece. Everthing sits in exactly the right place, the instruments compliment each other perfectly and i love the unpredictableness of the beat patterns.
I'm taxing a copy of this so i can play it when the sun comes out again. Cheers!!

on Virus by CyberSon
Thought i'd stop by and check out some of your material as you've been giving my comedy ego a boost.
i'm liking this. The intro kind of reminded me of the Quake soundtrack (i don't know if you remember that game, i think it was trent reznor that did the soundtrack)
I like the way you introduce new parts and change the song structure as it goes along. Always morphing, progressing and building as the track progresses.
stellar stuff.
CyberSon
CyberSon replied 19th Feb 2012 - 14 years ago
Thanks my friend. I haven't heard the Quake soundtrack, but it was trent Reznor who produced it, and I'm honoured with the comparison!

Glad you found something in this track. Many thanks.
