Missed this first time round, glad I stopped by this time though. Its like minimal techno meets a bit of deep house. Its really comfortable on the ears (in ear buds) and is just perfect! IMHO!!
Very Cool work. love the sounds. sounds horrific and daunting at the same time. Sounds like you only used the effects filters on the mod-synths as well for a very pure modular sound. And I like how the ending just tails off with that kick pulse. good work. Cru
Nice remix, With Emily's voice and your very house-industrial-minimal approach to the song I was reminded of "How to Destroy Angels" With Trent Rezor and his wife. Good idea and work so far. i would want you to build with somes strings or pads toward the last 3rd of the song and build it up to something fantastic and then bring it back down to the beautifuly simple percussion. Then it might be something else... IMHO. Steve
Usually I'll click on tracks in this genre for S&G and click off after a few seconds, but this track was so hypnotic I couldn't help but play the whole thing! I'm not even sure why, but it was just so catchy. I guess what I'm saying is...I like it...Period!
it's like you built this one out of bricks each part is supporting all the others and it's sooo damn tight, couldn't jam a folded dollar into the cracks
them sharp synths ride the top so well
i don't even like this stuff... but it's right propper and i respect the shit out of that
Nice funky intro / I like they way the melody comes in and the way it works with the bass/ lost my attention a little before it changed up. overall nice funky groove. I will listen some more and get back to you.
Agree with the others, the beat is pretty great in this. If computers chips could dance, they would use this to dance to. No problems on my side. keep it up. regards
...grinning from ear to ear... a playful, sexy little beat youve got here. synth work is positively supurb and mixing is top notch on this retro badboy. i adore.
I really like the Autechre impressions on the intro and breakdown,great drum programming.That lovely melody that comes in around the 2:25 mark,kinda reminds me of Rez by Underworld. Great work Nufoxx!!!
thanks, this is one of ythe first tracks i put on here, a while ago, i hope i`ve come on a bit since then :) think i was just starting to get to grips with my DAW when i did this,and it did feature on a compilation thats out there somewhere, but the big deal never happened lol.. still waiting for it!!! thanks again mate.
i didn`t realise i had any skills! but crispy clean sounds good to me, don`t know about the ridiculous bit though, thanks for the listen and comments, every positive one is a little bit more confidence.reckon i got about a tablespoon of it now :)
When a tune starts to sound like something i would have produced myself.. Im impressed.. Lets just say its that narsissistic gene of mine speaking...
I believe in the small things when creating music.. one akward chord, a misplaced snare, and loops that uses the entire spectra of the claviatur or midi-board and not just 3 notes... What im trying to say it that what youve done here is MUSIC to my ears..
I know from personal experience that a voice or acapella can make a tune go from crap to awesome, but in this case, im wondering if the voice is nessesary? You should experiment with the idea of extracting the voice and just let the tune speak for itself since you manage to incorporate feelings with the loops and sounds you are using.. just an idea..
its the same old problem for me,listening to a track after i`m sure its the best it can be and then realising i could change so many things about it, but you cant hold on to them forever :)i really appreciate the effort you put into your comment, it takes time and is important( feedback = awareness and growth imho ) .its easy to stitch pre fabs together and get genre specific white noise. Creating something, even if its not that perfect will always win in my book. It may mean slow output but comments like the ones i have been recieving make it worth the extra effort. once again thanks Dec.
Great production on this track.very infectious.love the way it transcends the gap between chill and dance type genres. this reminds me alot of Groove Armada. Chill enough to mellow out to and still maintain that head nod effect. Great Work!
groopaloopa Nice intro and build up into really cool melodic hook. Than you just keep layering other cool stuff (vocals). Nice break down than you take us home with the hook and vocal. really nicely constructed song. You used Acid or something similar? Anyway it's just a great feeling head bopping little gem a mellow and positive groove through and through. GOOD WORK BRO
Haha oh wow the irony, i've used that higher vox before too in a veryyyyy old project of mine. back when i was using acid pro still. This is sounding pretty clean cut though, the arps are nice. Would like to hear more effects of some sort to juice up the sound. Sometimes some distortion can help with that, if you know how to incorporate it. great track though man. peace
yeh, was going through some old stuff and liked the sample, my first tack trying to aim for a more dancier feel, thanks for lisstening and commenting, duly noted thanks again :)
thanks for the listen and comment, drums are my least favourite part, always struggle with them so its nice to know ppl like em, hooky bass lines are even harder LOL.
There is two things that makes me hooked on a specific tune, and the first one is the combination of unusual chords and still make it "work" in the end, the second is playfullness with the beat itself. Just because it says 1/4:th of a note doesnt prevent it from being a delayed 1/5:th note so 2 speak. Meaning that you put something "out of sync" and are capable of making that work as well.. This tune has both of those criterias witch makes it extremly enjoyable to listen too.
thanks for your thoughts,and taking the time to put them down, not sure about the awesome LOL, this place is home to some amazing stuff and i`m enjoying being here, its definately expanding my musical side. thanks again !!

Sweet groove love the understated power. There's no way a human being could listen to this and not at least bob therir head.
Commented on Higher by Soletik
Great sound and mixture, a little to 'nice' or 'happy' for my tastes, but I can recognize quality aside from any biases I may have.
Just the right amount of vocal, fits perfectly and in key too lol thanks ! Love the arpeggios, great timbre as well.

You should give yourself a "hearty" handshake and a firm pat on the back for these drums the hats really bring it to life.
only suggestion I would have to make is I feel it needs a hooky bass line to compliment the main synth,
But maybe for this Genre its not needed, :)
Commented on In The Glow - SOLETIK feat JJWeekz by Soletik
LOVE the vocal snipping in with the intro. kinda has the 'funky house' element in places. i like :)
Commented on In The Glow - SOLETIK feat JJWeekz by Soletik
