Rate the song above you (youtube) --- Part Deux!

Rob Hood is a legend. I remember back in like 98, first hearing about him playing some uppity art gallery opening. He showed up in sweat pants and a baseball hat and played with that "don't give a fuck" detroit attitude.

I just learned about this track saturday, cant stop listening!

Hey! You're supposed to rate my track before you post your own!!!

To be honest, I found your track pretty boring. If a track doesn't have good melodies (which that didn't), then it either has to be incredibly funky (which that wasn't), or have something else to hold my attention (like a really cool sample or something). No offence, but I just don't dig most minimal (although there are some exceptions to this). I'll give your track 5/10.


Robert Hood - The Pace
 
It always amazes me that people struggle with the concept of this thread. You're supposed to rate the song above you, then post your own track. It's not hard.

So, for the third time:


Robert Hood - The Pace
 
Minimal has become one of my favorite genres as of late, but that song wasnt good at all.
The sound quality lacked and the song was just flat out boring.

With minimal songs you really have to take all the small elements you put into the song and perfect them. If you leave just one or two things at sub par level, the whole track is ruined (IMO)

1/10

DJ Wady - Bruce Banner

A nice latin house tune.
 
There this little bop, on the end of the bar, during the intro.. it reminds me off this track.. like that touch...

To me, i've never really understood the attraction to house, I guess it all about the beat, the bop is the only thing I really like about it... owe wait.. here comes a melody.. I think :/ nope.. just a taste...

sorry Thizzerfershizzer... I feel it doesn't go anywhere. I don't understand House, I may be in need of a house education...

4/10

.........
This song was stuck in my head this morning, some big beat Chemical Brothers...
this has been a classic of mine since highschool..

Chemical Brothers - Come With Us (It began in africa)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsGKAx41-Ns
 
House isn't all about the massive drops and the insane baselines.
Its the same attraction with Minimal. Its not all about the insane drops and the crazy tricks; the whats-he-gunna-think-of-next, its about focusing and perfecting the little things. Listening to the small changes that when put together make up the song. That and the phat beats create an (imo) nice song. A chune, if you will.

A good Chem Bro's song.
not my favorite, but a good one. 6/10

The Prodigy - Breathe (Numbernin6 Remix)

A proper dubstep tune

A pretty bog-standard K-step track, with the occasional Prodigy sample. Certainly not the worst dubstep track I've ever heard, but nothing amazing. 5/10.

I can't beleive you hated that Robert Hood track though! It's outrageously funky! - that's what sets it apart from most of today's boring minimal tracks. And I actually thought the sound quality in that youtube clip was pretty good.


Plastikman - Are Friends Electrik?
 
Real time reveiw...

0sec: Hmm nice melody... cool drums..
49sec: A kick drum... subtle..
1min: OMFG monkeys.. :) lol nope there gone again..
1.20: the hat comes in... diggin that rolling hat..
Somewhere around 2mins... there's an acid note, streched over the bar... i like it.
4min the acid gets more influencial...
8min... that hint of a large acid synth is great.

All in all, it's a nice minimal track. Does some interesting things with drums latter on.

5/10....... or 7/10 for minimal i think, just cause i haven't hear much minimal with acid machines..

Tiga - MindDimension 2

looking forward to seeing tiga.... thanks for the house explanation thizzer... i'll try to give it more a chance now...
 
6.5/10 and ill tell you why.

Live this song is a 9/10
The bass gets me moving like no other; im singin the lyrics having a blasty blast!
When i listen to it on my comp (even with my bitchen sound system...not to dicksize, just pointing it out lol) I cant get into it.

Have fun seeing Tiga though, god that's gunna be such a fantastic show!!

Noisia & Mayhem - Exodus (Instrumental Mix)

You're kind of douchey when it comes to the rules of your threads. LOL.

Por ejemplo,

I rated Rob Hood as a legend and backed it up by a cute little anecdote, but that isn't a "rating".

Also in your "top 5 producers" thread, it's funny how bent out of shape you're getting when people post more than 5.

Calm down man, it's just dance music.

Took a while to get going, but I like it. Not much of a hard DB fan, more of a liquid fan, this is nice though.

7/10

Anyone for some ghetto-tech?%)

Sorry man - I love people writing anecdotes along with their rating, but you never made one reference to the track I posted!!!

I am pretty anal about that. But only because it completely devalues the thread when people start listing 20 of their favourite producers! I'm convinced that some people are listing producers on the basis of them hearing 1 track!!! I don't want to know which producers people casually like - I want to know which producers absolutely blow peoples minds - the absolute creme de la creme. You were able to list 5 producers (and presumably this took a fair bit of thought), so why shouldn't other people put in that same amount of effort?

Just dance music??? Dance music is not a matter of life and death...........it's far more important than that!!!

A little too fast for my taste, but certainly an interesting record. 6/10.

spectral empire - black shark

That song was extra dope. 8/10 That 8-bit synth sound from the beginning to about 2:00 min set such a spooky tone and then at 2:00 comes the distorted guitar and the 16th note bass line but by 3:00 things calm down again but the tension remained until it wound down.

It's also worth noting that the music + video had a synergistic effect on me in which the effects were greater in combination then with each taken separately.
