"Joy!"

submission: Kazmo - Headlock [RMX]

date: May 26, 2009

Some highlights:

Vocals: Nice layering and panning at interesting places, used great as effect / transitions and little buildups throughout the song. About the reverb, the original has a lot less but you gave it the remix-touch. I absolutely love it!

Bass: reminded me a lot of a Roland TB-303 bass! Fits the vocals very well. I like the note changes at 01:12 (well 01:16 actually)

Piano: Very calm and sounds like something is about to happen next. Works great in both the intro and the breakdown at 02:16. The last note of the piano pattern on top of the first drum is key.

Outro: Something similar yet different from the rest of the song. You could of used this somewhere in the middle but here at the end it's more fitting and serves as a nice conclusion.

I could go on and on but I won't..

It shows you put a lot of effort in this song (effects, panning etc.) and as a result I must say this is a very polished and perfectly mastered remix.

Thanks for making my day

"Great tune!"

submission: {LAi} Let Your Heart Rave

date: February 8, 2009

Stumbled upon your profile via one of my reviewers. He reviewed 2 songs, mine (Mario Bros 1-1 Remix) and your Breaking The Habit (Epic) song. Read your profile post and decided to give this song a review. First of: Don't let those 0 voters get you down. You really submitted some quality stuff here and the real music listeners always appreciate a good producer like you.

About this song: It gives me a real energy vibe. Perfect for a party. I would play it in the middle of a nice dance set, just to keep the crowd jumping. The piano is a nice touch. Gives the track a classic sound (imo) and is a great way to "print" the lead into someone's head even if the track is over. I will definitely keep an eye on you in the future. Keep it up!

Leave me a review if you like. I'm kinda a newbie producer but would like to hear your opinion.

"Impressive"

submission: Rudy P. - Fun with Poizone

date: January 17, 2009

Right from the pause at 00:07 (nice touch btw) I was hooked. The bass is ridiculously cool. Fine job there. This song so makes me wanna check out poizone. While listening to your song I checked out their website and downloaded the demo version. Gonna check it out today so who knows, maybe I'll be making a poizone "infused" song someday soon too.

Back to your song: what can I say, it's damn near perfect. Really. The bass automation effects make this song shine, the variation is superb. Really like the part at 02:40. Setting up an ending like that, sick really! I'm hooked man. Downloaded, 5/5, 10/10

And a big thumbs up to you!

"Got style"

submission: Rudy P. - She Said Yes (MAC9)

date: January 12, 2009

If this song was in a movie. It would be just after the girl said yes. Picture yourself in a couple of different scenes, walking slomo with a big smile on your face. Hehe well that's just my vision though. I really like those "little 8-bit-ish low beeps/divebombs" you put in. Great little touches here and there.

"Classic indeed"

submission: orange theme (remix)

date: January 7, 2009

I planning to do a remix of the Orange Theme. So I searched New Grounds and came across this little ambient gem. The Orange Theme is one of my favorite songs as I remember standing in Amsterdam when Tiësto first played the Moonman remix at Innercity back in '99. Goosebumps. And really one of the genre defining songs that pulled me, and so many others, towards the magic that is trance. You did a really good job on this, capturing the mellow feel that makes this song so great. I know It's been a long time since you submitted this, but the audio quality still holds his own against most of the newer tracks released here at ng.

I'm planning to make my remix more string/pad based with a break or trance beat. I'll be sure to PM you when it's done if that's okay.. and will make a reference to your song naturally ;)
