because everything else is very progressive. Hernan or Digweed could definitely play this in one of their renaissance series.

"Seems lacking something"

date: June 18, 2007

a drive, that edge. It says techno, but i haven't heard much techno songs that make you want to put you to sleep (no offense). The melodies do work, nice work on that, but the drums need some work, it seems like the kick is off beat. Also id use a better mic, or sample a premade vox, slice it up and use what you want, because it was all choppy and distubed the vibe of the song.

You're still trying to find your voice, this is what, like your 17th song?? and some are the same just incomplete versions. Keep on working, keep on perfecting the sound, but more importantly...FIND YOUR OWN UNIQUE SOUND THAT DISTINGUISHES YOU FROM THE REST. YOU NEED A VOICE!! make it happen. gj overall

be kind and go review my other Groove Armada, i just uploaded it, it's called like i said groove armada but it's a house mix. "Groove Armada (House Throwback 95 Club Mix)" with lyrics from Doug Lazy from his song "Let It Roll". NG cut out half the name of it. review it if you can plz. thnx.

i don't use a drumset, i actually play the parts out manually on a 10 year old keyboard. i desperately need a drum machine. i do need a voice, but i say that i can't really make my own style without being good first.
thanx much.

waga tutu

"So good it should be outlawed"

submission: waga tutu
date: January 8, 2007

Man, i know reggaeton. You took it old school, gave it a new twist and it sounded terrific. You have my full support and you deserve a five for thi, no joke.

Thanks for your vote, Always-Dark! You voted 5 for waga tutu, raising its score from 3.50 to 4.00.

There you go man. Really this was an amazing throwback, make more.

Rest In Peace--_--(4:15)

"I found it ok"

date: December 26, 2006

I like the fact that it's medolic and it seems that you took your time with that, so i do give you props for that, the rest im not so crazy about. I think a normal trance hihat clap and kick layer would've been better than the drumkit sound you had. Also, too happy for me, but like cheesy happy, not good harmonic happy. Those gated square notes that you had on the background could've been of some other sound too.

Overall it's ok for me. I say remix it. Make it more progressive and dark.

-- Club Ballad --- #1 Mr. Bot

"Iight biased review here lol"

date: November 30, 2006

Even though its not done, i hear this as a club banger. As i told you in the IM, the reggaeton beat is fuckin with me. 1-2 measures of it here and there to fresshnn the beat and just now it hitt me, work on the transition from one drum pattern (hip hop) to the other (RGTN), like i did in Vampira. Nae but seriously im proud of what u did with my beat. You turned my first song into this Gem, im a proud mukfuka. seriously.

Hope everything goes correct man. Hitt'em up

-Allen
p.s. yea we need to find a better clubby bassdrum. I'll try n help out in anyway i can.

Dreamerz: In the Beginning

"I enjoyed the calm"

date: November 30, 2006

It was good, nice smooth. very good transitions from one melody to another and such. Choice of sounds could've been a bit better to fit the mood of a sleeper but overall it does the job cuz right now im getting more relaxed. Good job bro, another winner.

-Allen

Author's Response:

Thanks man! Yeah, I'm still working on sounds, my only big problem for right now ; D

-Alright, I'll keep looking for sounds, thanks much : D

DJ SkiLLz-The Dark Room

"Its nice and eeire, my type of music"

date: November 18, 2006

I see you only have 3 songs...its good for only 3 songs. I think you have a good melody, the drums is what needs working. I think a fast paced percussion with a clap instead of a snare would do good. Think Epic trance hi-hats, and a kick in between a bassdrum and kickdrum. Last thing, when you introduced that piano at the end, i think an arpeggiator with a voice like sound, would've done great with the strings you had.

I think this songs has lots of potential, just gotta know how to make it shine.

-Allen
p.s. come review my latest demo if you want, it will give you some ideas. It's called "Goa Projekt Feat. Octavian"

Tuneplayerz!-Pump This Party

"Hey man"

date: November 18, 2006

nice tune. Very happy-ish. I like it, though i would chance some things. First i would use a type of reverb and delay to change the sound of the vocal samples you have. they sound too dry. Also the synth you used on the main part is too distorted. EQ it more to give it a smoother sound. That's really about it. I think everything else is just a matter of taste in music.

Good job.
-Allen
p.s. hey i just uploaded a new demo, im still making it but i thought id give the AP a preview. It's called 'Goa Projekt Feat. Octavian', you mind reviewing it? don't forget to vote. thnx

Author's Response:

Well, that was a good review ;)

Maybe some better reverb, but no delay, cause that only f*cks up the tune...

The synth is supposed to sound distorded :P And I have used a EQ on it...

Well, since you didnt vote me, i guess i can't vote you, eh? :P
