Yeah, this is more like it.  Wouldn have preferred it to kick off a
little earlier than it does, but by the time it's got going I've
forgotten all about that and my feet are tapping and my head is
nodding.  Samples are well used and the groove of the track is just
about right – funky and highly danceable.  Love the last minute and
half of this track!

Superb effort.  Reminds me of some Cyantific stuff.

great funky sort of vibe.

great funky sort of vibe. uplifting Smiling the vocal samples are well chosen. they fit in good with the rest of the tune.

Those strings are awesome.

Those strings are awesome.  Really 40's 50's feel to them.  I like how the beat is pieced together.  Also the synths that get added along as the track progresses is nice too.  And the brass stabs are almost like a throwback to jazz from that era too.  This track really changed from where it started out.  I like that, but it wasn't random or too quick.  It's a good ease in and out.  The garbbling bass is really cool.  The vocal clippng makes me think of house music.  Love the stuttering on that.  But after the breakdown at about 3:40 I would like to see something new added after the build.  Maybe a different arrangment to the vocal stuttering, or quicker stuttering.  Which you do employ later.  Ending is cool.  Interesting how you change the mood on the last little bit with the string change up.  Only thing I can say needs improvement is just a little something to keep it from getting to repetative after the previous breakdown mentioned.

A funky club number this one.  I like the melody line.  The right-panned brass sound seems a bit cheap.  Nice buildup just after 2 mins.  The top end of the track could be a bit clearer, I think for 192k it can be clearer than it is.

The track progresses very nicely, building as it goes along and winding down towards the end.  DJ-friendly too, good work.

this track builds nicely, my kind of flava too Smiling overall mix is a little soft but that doesnt really matter, bass crowds out the mix a little bit, but a nice bassline! not sure about the strings intro and breakdown bit more layers would help it. vocals good work. i like this dude.

Love the start! Great work,

Love the start! Great work, spanish guitar rolling back with the strings. The beat is soft, but for a reason. Too much power and energy behind thie track would overspill the strings (which sit right at the back of the mix). Most prominant is the sub bass, a little over powering but still a nice addition. That Brass stab sample we have all heard be for drops in with a sliced and diced vocal. This builds for about 16 bars...builds and drops a wet 70's synth, not to my taste. I love the sounds you have used, but that synth? why? Anyway that synth is shortly lived and drops the vocals and brass stab back, funky and head fueling - interested as the lead melodie pops in for a rain-check. A little build and a drop into the 70's synth, which is totally overpowered by the sub bass.
But - The Outro is just as sweet as the intro. Once again... as ive said in a previous review...the outro ends with a finshing string movment, which could have made an interesting Middle 8 section.
interesting, good piece

nice guitar, and the bringing in of elements is nice, I like how the sounds change and how you anounce the changes.  The vox is a bit to out there on my speakers like around 2:28. nice happy moood. Smiling

Intro is ok could need some more texture IMO the only thing that could save it is a phat drop to compensate for intro thats so untextured. More drum elements adds as intro progresses its ok but you want to save some of the drum elements for the drop to give it extra power. so the drop comes I think the intro vs drop should be more significant drum-wise. The bass here is awesome its mooving nicely and sound real cool, great vibe. It saves the drop for me. I still would like it to contain more power in drums above all. But the drums doesnt keep upp, I would want more power in them. The tune is pretty good mixed I would like some more hiend though to give it a bit more life and the drums more precense.


This track is catchy.  Nice

This track is catchy.  Nice beat and sample work.  Production is good.

Just a bit repetetive for me.

i dunno why it's sounding like 128kbps tho the track is 192. nice rolling beats but these disco elements bored me. like 90th beginning. the diagnosis - it sounds lofi.

Nice intro. I like the way

Submitted by TVGHatesTVG on Sat, 2005-12-03 23:37.

Nice intro. I like the way you bring the drums in slowly. I like the subtle effects in the background.

The 909 or 808 layered under the kick is a little loud. I would also bring up the very top his on the snare.

The horn in the break down sounds a little thin.

Interesting bass-line, definitely not what I was expecting. The strings still work well against everything. The vox are little too repetitive.

36 – Not really keen

36 – Not really keen on the composition here.. I like the drum and bass but not the choice of samples.  Like the bit from 4:10 would have been wicked without the vocal stab.  5/10
