    I am putting together a radio stream in memory of my late son who died from cystic fibrosis and would very much like to use this track. He was into dub, house, reggae, trip hop and many things electronic. The stream, sonnypieradio.com will be ad free, and will not pay royalties, however I am happy to give you a credit and links. Hoping for your permission. Thank you. Chris

    Great track! The piano was a pleasant surprise. Loved the heavy beats mixed with the twinkling of the keys! Reminds me of one of the Gorillaz tracks that I like. :)

    I saw myself driving thru the night.
    Great one for sure! Only thing i found bad was that it has an end :) could listen to this much much longer for sure.
    Sounds, samples, FX and all is really well made and the mix has some real nice breaks and fine melodies. The mastering is also very fine made work.
    I have to say that this one was a real pleasure to listen to.

    Well done.

    stay tuned

    and there goes one of the most adventurous tracks ive come across here on looperman in quite some time. rally dig the bipolar beats switching up every so often. This reminds me of my early work sort of. Minus all the mixdown errors and shitty sound quality. lol great job

    The piano on this is just perfect. The overall beat is beautiful kinda funky (a good kind of funky)

    Very enjoyable track! I liked it from the very beginning. I like how you changed it up in the beginning and used those vocal samples to help with the transition. The different changes in the track almost sound like different genre interpretations of the same track. Not sure if that's what you were going for, but you definitely made it work.

    Great work mate!

    Brilliant track! I love all the glitchiness of this track! All of the variation throughout this track is great as well. My favorite parts are probably around 45 seconds and 1:10. It sounds like there's some sort of reversed percussion, maybe a kick drum that fits perfectly into the rhythm. Also the sound that comes in at 1:10 is just amazing!

    that particular kick sound, is probably the way I cut I very small part of the sample and put it on repeat. Also because the samples' original bpm is diferent, I think make the natural reverb weird and sound almost like a reversed kick but, its not.
    Glad you liked it and payed atention to all those details. thanks man

    This is dope. Classic drum break, dirty bass, and I like the swing on the flute sample. Reminds me of some Jon Kennedy. Nice work!

    you mean the name of the sample? type of drum?

    Both of them :D

    The type of beat is Breakbeat.
    This particular one is a really famouse sample. It's the Amen Break. I downloaded it here on looperman, not sure it's the original sound if the uploader messed with it.

    your work is very musical. everything is interesting and well put together. love the vocal hits, love the change ups in sounds and moods.

    yes - I am sure mastering will make it shine but it is definitely a jewel in the rough!

    super cool track.

    Fav!

    I've been diggin' trip-hop lately.

    That switch up to techno was pretty sweet :)

    I particularly love the evolution of this.

    I'll keep my eyes out for the finished version.

    I did not feel like hearing the original at this point, so I'm commented "blind" so to speak. I like the jazzy vibes in parts of this! I too enjoyed the more chill and atmospheric sections. Okay... I'm going to have to listen to the original before going on... to many questions. Okay I hear that one after yours, because I was hearing a load of heavy processing on the vocals. I wondered if it was like that in the original, and it definitely was close to this effected. I think the chopping, timing and maybe pitch effect may have lost something of the power of the original vocals. Personal preference I guess. I do however thing the mix itself is very good. Enjoyed hearing it!

    You're right man. But I strived for something different, more rythm. I wouldn't make the original better in melody and voice, would be impossible for me. Just something different.
    Glad you liked it :)

    Hey DN, I had a listen to this one and also the original. From a mixing point of view, I think you did a good job. It has a nice and interesting sound landscape. For me, I did not like the first part of the remix, I started to connect to it from about 1:44 when it calms down a bit. And from then it just got better and better. I like that laid back part a lot - much more than the manic start. By the way, the original is pretty amazing on its own! So great job man, and remember its only my funny old taste :D . TG

    I get it man. My favourite part is also the last. Thanks for your opinion :) Still like the beginning though, and as it happened all naturaly, I'm happy with it.

    Hey man

    Sorry don't know this genre at all so no feedback genre wise, one thing I do like is the nice synths and effects you have used in this one, nice clarity of the mix, sounding nice in the headset, nice steady beat and change ups, stand out for me mainly is the strings and synths, love them mate...Very enjoyable listen through the headset...Fav'd...peace n respect matey...mosaic...
