I got a new track up at
www.mp3.com.au/steveelektro/
It's actually a remix of a track I made last year, it's called
Acid Techno Is Dead (Corrosive Mix)
Give this a listen and tell me what you think.
I'll try and review some more stuff today too.
Jungle Drama - Upward
I love the pecussion, I've tried but I can never get a drum and bass beat sounding right, you've done it really well.
The song structure could be a little more coherent, it seems to dance back and forth a little too much, perhaps you could put a breakdown in somewhere, where one of the basslines gets slowly rougher during a build then bring it all back in hard as fuck.
(use some distortion or slowly raise filter cutoff, or both)
The background noises sound great, as far as the basslines go, the warm one that first kicks in at 1:42 is my fave, I tend to like my D&B basslines rough and evil, just a matter of personal preference though. All in all, it's pretty damn good for a second attempt at the genre!
Chalk - Dirty Magic
Interesting music style, it's like The Cure gone trip-hop, I like it.
My only suggestion is that it could do with a few more ambient noises during the more minimal bits, some soft and slightly muffled vocals may sound good, plenty of reverb and a long echo on really non-intrusive noises, that kind of thing.
Also, one open hihat would sound good in each bar somewhere between the closed ones, at around the 8:00 mark where the song is most active.
It's a very moody track, put me in a sombre state, it's great that you can make it seem so emotive. I really like it.
Acell - With you (Original Mix)
It's a little uplifting for me, but I'm impressed.
The synths sounds really clear and full, and I like that hard kick.
The short breaks are done well, and the breakdown that starts around 4:30 is cool, and it kicks in great at 6:20, sounds great together.
That buzzy offbeat bassline at the start and the end could be a little fatter, and the claps on every second beat could be a little more impacting, but it's nothing major.
And not that it effects the track, but there is over a minute silence at the end for some reason.
Great track overall though, not quite my style but I enjoyed it regardless. Have you made any darker trance before?
Jungle Drama - Childhood Lost
I don't have much to say guys, great percussion, great noises all through, and the sound is clear is and crisp. the track is fucking awesome, I love it!
