[Evil G]

dope. funky as hell.

[xfive]

Sounds nice man.. :clap:
only thing I'd say is the main hats are a bit loud I think

[eyes without a face]

cheers guys, glad you enjoyed it

i think id agree with u chris

I like a lot of the elements, but overall the groove doesn`t really work.
This kind of track seems to need a real powerful, strong, chunky and phat percussive groove, but it just has your standard hat shuffle and claps.
Also the synths are fighting over each other for room and attention.
Although I see this is early days yet, I would go back and really beef up the beat to super chunkyness, and tame the synths a little.
It does have a nice feel though, almost kabuki like.

cheers, appreciated

This is very good indeed... a really nice soulful vibe again.

I would agree though that the main hats, and the every-other-beat snare/clap that runs through the whole track seem a bit harsh, when they first come in at least... I can also see what Dirtybass says about the synths competing, but I like that - that's the focus of interest in the track and is varied enough to hold your attention all the way through it.

I'd quite like a nice drawn-out break at some point where the synths just tootled around for a while without the kick, I think there would be loads of interesting ways you could bring the beat back in...

Lovely stuff :cool:

cheers dude, glad u liked
;)

[BRADLEE]

Sounds good to me. Not my thing but I am sure that many would like to play it. Very good for the summer time style of techno.

Nice, Floaty yet Chugudy Track man, very morningish!! well done!! defo a track you'd close your eyes to!! ;)

[eyes without a face]

cheers guys! ;)

[The Overfiend]

The Synths work separately, each has a flow to it.
My opinion is get mo perc in it.
The hi's are quite hi, but I could see Coxy on it defo.

[eyes without a face]

cheers mate appreciated!

[The Overfiend]

Nah just kidding you f*ckin' suck ;)

[lau]

Really really funky!!!!

Tho the synts are getting a bit to much for me as the tune is progressing.. but that could just be me... l

Its only the beginning of a tune so I guess this should be real phat when finished :clap:

[eyes without a face]

haha well its hardly just the beginning, its not finished but it wont change much once it hits this stage the only changes il make are to the mix really rather than content

thanks tho im glad u enjoyed it dude

[lau]

lol ah well "beginning" !?!

Englis I good not so speak hey!!!

[BloodStar]

man, like it,. quite a lot :lol: .. nice track, like the synth and idea of the track, but think you could do a break and go somewhere else during the track. synths are nice,same with bass,, but it's still the same to me., would be nice to see some more progress during track,., production sounds very very good to me,. dont have comments,. like it as it is,.,maybe hi's could be little down,,but ok,., cheers,.

[eyes without a face]

yeah i think i might work on a breakdown tommorow on this

cheers

[Mindful]

Nice.
Like the groove nice and tribaly and those synths are v nice reminds me of being the last man standing at a party,the drugs have worn off,the suns come out and still trying to mix records and playing stuff that makes me wanna cry :cry:

:lol:

Anyway production wise hats are perty harsh on my ears but i have been up listening to music all night so it may just be my ears and the clap also sounds harsh witch is a personal thing realy(it didnt spoil the tune for me tho so)

All in all a nice vibe :clap:

[Honeey]

Nice, I like the funky bass in there and the harmonics.
A breakdown would add a new dimension to the track, take advantage of that funky bass :)
Wiked! :cool:
