Wow, what a beautiful piece of music. Those vocals are epic. Manuela really nailed it. You did it so much honor to make the instrumental support and enhance her voice. Never overshadowing her performance but shining where it should. The mix is really good as well. Vocals nice in the mix and everything crisp and clear. Insta-favourite!
Thanks so much for the feedback; it is really encouraging to read such wonderful words about my work on Manuela's vocals. It was truly enjoyable to imagine being in a studio with this artist, sharing ideas on a specific theme.
Best regards, Anthony
Been a long time since I heard some Dubstep. This tune is pretty bassheavy and the growls are there. I like the concept and the vibe is there. The thing is that the bass is so heavy that it outshines all other parts of the track. With some simple gainstaging this would already sound even better. Then cut the highs of the bass where the vocals are and sidechain the bass to the kick. The bass will steel be felt heavily but the vocals and kick will come through way more. Add a bit of a melody to play with the bass and the track will be more vivid and energetic. Nice start and a fun one, but it is not completely there yet.
This is some great relaxing background music. So nice and dreamy! And the guitar is so well played. I think this was a hell of a collab where 1+1 definetly made 3.
Hello mudhoen, I thank you my friend for the listen and comments....its very much appreciated....Its never done on its on my friend......it definitely takes more than one.
Nice to see you still around as well! What a start of a song. So mysterious and moody. I didnt know what to expect how it would transition, but i was not disappointed. The sudden impact of the 4x4 was a real nice addition and made the track complete. The guitar at the end is fire and really the cherry on top!
Really nice tune. Love the energy that the drums provide and the melody is very captivating. I would love to hear a small break somewhere in the middle where you introduce the melody to give the ears a bit of rest and keeping the track interesting. Still a great track though!
Really nice track! Love the tranistion to the drums and the drop is really engaging. There is so much variation and small stuff goimg on which gives a real energetic vibe to it. Eventhough the noisy part really is a part of breakcore I do think there are some clipping issues. Maybe you could take another look and see where the frequencies are clashing. It might make this sick track even better. But hey, that is just nitpicking....Good stuff!
3xOsc is such a powerfull tool. This track is a great example! Really nice build up with the slide notes. Eventhough it is Ambient, i was hoping for a drop because the build up is really going towards a climax. But I respect the choice and it probably is my EDM brain that wants this hahah! Really nice track!
Another nice track Richard. Love how you combine some vibey EDM with a positive message. Vocals sound very well and get enough space to shine on top of the track. Nice addition to your repetoire!
Thank you so much! I'm really happy you enjoyed the vocals too. Credit goes to Vagabb, who produced the beat and handled the final mix. He did an amazing job bringing it all together. Thanks for taking the time to listen and for the encouraging words. I truly appreciate it!
This tune is damn sweet. Has a bit 70s funk in it as well. The arrangement keeps me on the edge of my seat. You really know how to emphasize the instruments in a way that they shine together. Something I can really learn from. Mix is top notch as usual. Do you have music on spotify/YT?
hey mudhoen! Thank you for stopping through. It's really great what you heard proved to be an worthwhile listen. The 70's funk is one thing that's virtually impossible to escape. Especially with the resurgence of authentic ol skool funk. I'm in the mid stage with my art work for my music I'm releasing on Bandcamp. So YT maybe later. I'm not feeling Spotify yet. A few of my musician buddy's have told me horror stories about their experience. The time, comments, and compliments are treasured in a big way.
Damn guys! This is real heat coming out of my speakers! It sounds so familiar yet original and refreshing. Every vocal is so different but fits together like a glove. The beat is really the backbone and really lifts the track to a higher dimension! The addition of the guitar gives it even more energy! Love it!
Well we can't hope for a better reaction than that, my friend. We set out to try and do something special when we formed this group, and we have come so far since then. Many of our songs are alot like this one, with guitar and heavy rock elements. Pnnywze is a mad scientist man. Thanks for the support!
Wow! This is some good usage of a loop, eventhough you dont use them a lot. I like the rain effect, it really adds to the vibe of the song. Did you do the vocals of the track? If so, damn! You got some talent, good sir! I might do a LM loop mix as well. Fun to use some loops from other members of the community.
You're right, I don't use loops very often because they're rocket science to me. Haha. But this one was too good to pass up. I'm glad the rain effect worked for you; I was hoping it would help set the mood and tie everything together.
And yes, those are my vocals. I still track my vocals in Adobe Audition 1.5... old school, right? Haha.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm primarily a vocalist, so hearing that means a lot. I'm looking forward to hearing your LM loop mix as well. It's always fun to see how different people interpret the same source material.
Love the drop! Really pumping up the energy to the maximum! The kick is really pushing through and the loops chosen are fire! I can hear you really put the time in to make this track as good as it is! Instafavoured!
Good ol'Danke droppping some fire music! A bit more spicier than I am used to hear from you but nevertheless another gem! I dont understand the language but the message is more than clear, hahaha! Good stuf and looking out for more music from you or with your band!
Pretty nice try on the Trap genre. A good melody and nice chords! The kick drum at the end is hitting. I suggest you use a real 808 in place of the bass sound or combine the bass with the kick to get thump on it. This will make the track even more bombastic.
Those bells will haunt me in my dreams. They are so blunt, but smooth at the same time! Great overall mix and the only thing missing is some fire bars!
Top notch beat with solid bars! Must have been a joy to work on this track! The mix is damn clean. The vocals are perfectly on the beat as well! Good stuff!
Damn mister! This is such a unique sound. Love how you pan the voice from left to right. Really adds to the message of the track. Hope your sciatica is less painful now. Good thing is that due to the pain from it you made this playful masterpiece.
thankyou for your stop bruv its nice to see you around and giving me a listen, hope your still enjoying your music, its always nice to see old faces too, thanks for your thoughts on my sciaitica, its still painful, but your right about using that pain to motivate and try deliver it with a feeling, I love that description playful masterpiece, it don't take long for somebody in our community puts a smile on my face, thanks mate, you did
Wow Rita! Wat ben jij muzikaal gegroeid zeg. Kom hier af en toe even wat pareltjes beluisteren en jij hebt weer wat moois neergezet. Vind de kleur van jouw stem erg interessant. Gelaagdheid en diepte! De muzikale begeleiding past perfect bij jouw stem. Bedankt voor het delen!
Hey Mark. Saw you replying on an old track of mine and it felt like a cue to get back to LM and listen to some great stuff over here. To see you on top of the tracklist made me smile and I knew it was the good decision! What anice track my man! You definetly did not lost the magic touch. So much going on in such a clean mix. Very solid composition and especially the brass is carrying this beautiful piece of music eventhough the drums are top notch as well. Is this played live?
mudhoen Welcome back! Thank you for the stop, time, and feedback. It's really great you found everything to your liking. This one was multi tracked in my studio. Your compliments are valued in an huge way. Be safe.
Love the deep drone sound, it has so much layers to it and gives a great vibe. You really know your way with the synths. Arturia Labs and Pigments are in most of my track, love the warmth they bring.
After you reviewd my track I was very curious what you have put on here. I knew from your knowledgable review that you know what you are doing and I wasn't dissapointed. First of all I don't know in what genre to put this. But it is unique in its own way! Really love how this track evolves and evolves from heavy rock into a very tensionfilled bridge working into the more metally vibe. Feels like an explosion of energy. The crisp clear mix defeintely helps with this. I especially love how you panned your instrumenst to give them more space to shine. With a stereo imager you really see how you expanded the sound to make it very full and clear! Nothing is overscreaming eachother which can happen fast when mixing guitars and drums. All in all this is just a very special piece of music and I will listen to it a few more times, as I can learn from this a lot!
Mudhoen, Hey, sorry for the late reply. The work week tends to use up all of my time for anything other than eating and sleeping.
I think as far as genres go, I would ultimately describe it as heavy progressive rock. But, metal works for this site.
Mixing metal is definitely a tricky one. Getting all of the frequencies to sit where they need to and mind their manors takes some practice. I have a decent grasp on the concept and theory, but the application still leaves room for improvement.
I truly appreciate you taking the time, and leaving a thoughtful, and encouraging comment. It helps me keep on it.
Take care.

Damn, very funky fun track. So many things going on without being an absolut chaos. I have been away from LM for some time now, but the talent has really grown in here!
Thank you for listening and commenting on my music. I am really glad you liked it. I try not to create a fuss of instruments in my mix. It is good you didn't feel there was a chaos.
My regards, Anthony.
Hello mudhoen, thank you my friend for the comments and giving this track a listen.....I enjoy trying to play the guitar, it's a crazy instrument and sometimes it will surprise you....gonna keep at it until I get right. Again thank you.
Was dropping by on LM and the first thing was searching for one of your tracks. I gladly didnt get dissapointed. I think the first time I hear you making soul music. The vocals are so well mixed in the rest of the track. They sound so warm. Great vibe, Danke! thanks for sharing this piece of gold!
