    Groovy track mate! Did a double take seeing this posted as hip hop, but I can hear where you were going from that angle. Loved that sample at the beginning! I could see this being a banger with a good rapper. Nice work!

    Fit Like! Far Hiv Ye Bin? Izotope Relay will give U that space you need.
    I have been experimenting with Valhalla Supermassive for the depth side of things. But I like the mix actually as it is and I am not sure that will improve what you are going for. There is a bit of Eno-Fripp feel going on. (Index of metals era). Bonnie tune mate!

    God damn - got stuck on the phone and my link to LM reset and lost my comment ...aahh - well I was saying ... I love the synth/ subharmonicon sound very cool - the track reminds me of something that might have been produced by Eno back in the day ... for some reason also thinking of Blue Nile (go figure - this is not that gentle).. lots of good mastering tips and advice here on LM - great track already

    Haha, been there before and nowadays I usually still highlight and copy my comment before hitting submit just in case it times out or whatever. But thanks anyway for re-commenting!

    The Subharmonicon is great, and goes so well with the other synths I have, although it can sometimes be a wild beast to tame.

    Thanks for the comment dude, appreciated!

    Sounds like when the kick comes in it washes out the mix a little. This may be by design, via master compression or something similar.

    I'm not finding any particularly harsh or offending frequencies in the mix, nor am I hearing anything that seems without intent.

    If you not happy with the mix, just chop the from 8K up on the master, deadpan every track, and call it lofi...

    :P

    Thanks for the feedback, I will probably try to go back and look at the mix/master again soon. LOL at the lo-fi comment, cheers!

    I like this! Lovely synths and I liked the build on the drums. Intro and outro fantastic. And the north east ain't the only place to experience four seasons in one day...pretty sure a NZ band wrote a song like that:)

    Haha well I guess NZ is practically in the polar opposite location to the north east of scotland so I can see that being the same. I'd love to visit one day! Thanks for the listen dude, I appreciate it. Will check your tracks out in a bit!

    I really dig this. I was going to suggest some stereo work, or some panning on individual synths, but it's already been done twice, so I won't add more than I already have. But, the lack of stereo width certainly is not a deal-breaker. It's still a great track. It is short but sweet.
    The intro really sets the mood of an almost whimsical melancholy. Which, I know, is a contradiction in terms, but I'm not sure how else to describe it.
    When the drums kick in you get a nice little Aphex Twin feel to it.
    I like the transitions. That synth we heard in the beginning is kind of like a ribbon for all the other sounds to balance upon.
    A glassy outro that nearly bookends the whole thing.

    Good work, man. I like it.
    Take care.

    Thanks for the feedback dude, appreciate the listen. Yeah maybe I'll need to go back and see about adding some width, Ive never had so many people comment on that before lol. I actually listened to it for the first time in the car after I uploaded it and the kick sounds a bit boomy, but I generally like that anyway.

    Glad you liked it overall anyway, thanks again dude!

    the mood of the song is outstanding ... the production work too ... the intro and the outro are brilliant ... the synth sound is very uplifting ...
    the mix is 95%, I feel a little tightness in the mixing (and, or mastering), especially in the bass sound ... you could extend the equalizer and let it go ... :-)
    huge sound all in all, welcome back my mister, Danke

    The synth sound you mean is probably the subharmonicon, that thing sounds gorgeous when its tuned right! Thanks for listening again danke :)

    Now when someone puts a title up like that you know they are only coming from one small space in the planet and the NE is never far away :)

    I like your tune i culd even hear little sprinkles of some kinda lead coming in and out on this good work man :)

    Yeah the only stereo instrument in this is the analog rytm and thats a drum machine lol. So I can see now how it could do with a bit more stereo width! Aye four seasons in one day is common in aberdeen hahaha, thanks for listening again pal!

    Hey dude! if I can be "frank", the song is nice but for me it's the mix (a little too much in the 1K frequencies) and not "expanded" enough, which doesn't take anything away from your very good job!

    I understand the creative block very much, as I've been in the depths of one lately as well. It seems like with this song you've broken through quite nicely! The glitchy elements are quite cool, and they added a lot to the interest of this song. Very groovy tune my friend!

    Greetings, Although i do like the track. Still it could use some gentle touches on the mixing proces though. Because for my taste its kinda noisy and chaotic. Still the track is solid on its own though. So yeah i dig the track on itself for sure. It simply need some gentle and good touches. Besides that, still a job ok done. With kind regards, Verdi

    This is super catchy, I'm loving the dynamics and little production touches you've added through out, creative blocks are always a struggle, but here's hoping your on the other side of the one you were experiencing. P.s. this is giving me some serious Lenny Kravitz vibes and I love that!

    Hey Diskonnect

    Great intro, my fav bit is the bass, nice rolling type of bass working great with the beat, nice touch with synths and FX coming through out the track, nice build up with the pad/chain synth, agree with Spiv about finding a vocal to fit in this would send it to another level, I don't think I have any Techno up on profile, will search out as I have a couple hidden away in files here at home, will try to upload one in the next week or so, ending seems to chop off a little quick but a minor thing as the main piece is a very enjoyable listen, thank you for sharing...Fav...Peace n Respect...mosaic..

    Commented on Wolf Power by Diskonnect

    Yeah buddy, this is cool! The title and description made me think of the "rhythm wolf" groovebox instrument. Very cool vocal sampling throughout this track, and it actually remind me of some of the vocal stuff flowing through my head lately without the ability to record it. Nice to hear something so out of the ordinary and deep! Interesting dynamic to this result... I'd be curious to hear it with the peaks intact, but that's just me I think. Very cool track! Fave!
