Kung Pow Chicken by jmoo711 1 year ago
I dig it. With a shovel! Feels like it could be useful in a video game setting.
Adagio by FourOFour 1 year ago

Tequila by C_Man 1 year ago
Wow! This is f'ing great! Super vocals, very tight electronics! Congrats, mate^^ very hot stuff.
Science (chiptune) by bonsushi 1 year ago
Yes! Loved it - I am no chiptune expert, but I really dig those 8 bit sounds and old school video game-y vibe. Well constructed imo.
Gimme Some Sympathy (Yellow Sub Mix) by C_Man 1 year ago
First off, congrats on a job very very well done, and I salute your taste - I like Metric a lot. Great sounding mix overall, lots of energy and a solid arrangement. The overall energy suits the vocals and original arrangement very well, with your own style mixed in. A few changes I humbly suggest for your consideration:

-the higher pitched lead sound (or is it a high hat w lots of reverb?) in the intro that ramps up into the 1st drop could come in a bit more gradually,(and maybe lengthen its duration) it seems to get too hot too fast, I think this would draw out and ramp up the tension a bit more
-Increase the length of silence between when the beat cuts out and then back in at the conclusion of the intro, maybe increase to an 8 count while adding some reverb and or delay to that cool metallic ringing fx sound letting it peel out. As it is right now, it feels a bit rushed along. I think this would, again, add some tension and have the listener eagerly awaiting the return of the beat
-bring the overall level of the track down a bit after the intro, perhaps consider waiting for a 16 or 32 beat count before adding back in the hat, clap, or some other elements. Or consider lowering volumes of a couple elements and let them build back up as the song progresses, maybe lowpass filter the main bassline and or lead at this point , and slowly sweep the filter upwards to achieve this
-add some variation to the hi hat sound
-augment the clap pattern
-pull those long delay trails on the word "SUN" sun sun sun sun sun..." into the background a bit more, they do seem a bit too prominent

Great job, Mannix, and good luck on the contest!

Best
Mike

very very well done. its almost 2am here...and now i am all pumped up ^^
DEEPEST REALM by conorcorbett 2 years ago
Excellence choice on the kick drum and bass - they interact very well for a nice tight minimal groove locking it all together. Cool overall laid back vibe w a nice clean production imo. That high pitched atmospheric sound that takes the track to the finish adds a very nice touch. Nice work mate!!
WITHOUT REASON by conorcorbett 2 years ago
very cool. love the bassline and minimal percussion. tasty!
WALK WITH ME by conorcorbett 2 years ago

BANNER OF SUN/COLIN LAW AKA (WOBBLES303) by conorcorbett 3 years ago
nice one, solid textures, nice vibe, and I also love that kick^^
NEVER ENDING STEPS BACKWARDS by conorcorbett 3 years ago
This was good, more on the tech side of life than electro to my ears, but I enjoyed your rhythmic treatments, nicely locked me into the beat. I liked the congas/djembes or whatever those tribal drums are, and the delays on them, they brought a nice energy. well played sir.

Pimp my muse by 921 3 years ago
I love the intro, nice vibe and great sound choices as per usual, kind of has a wandering feel to me. Nice one.
DISTRESS by conorcorbett 3 years ago
Awesome kick, for me, the tight minimal groove around it really sets a great tone. Your breaks are really nice, nice variation while keeping the groove humming along. Love it. Super work, imo
HUMAD HAZE by conorcorbett 3 years ago
I really like this one, the basic beat is killer - very cool. Nice work here.
Desert dream by 921 3 years ago
I liked it, great individual sounds- really love the kick, very nice compressed sound. Nice overall flow. Maybe its just my headphones, but I am hearing either some clipping or distortion on the deeper (taiko?) drum, perhaps its intentional, but it kinda distracted me. Other than that, very cool track.
LFO by lauryllaureth 3 years ago
The beginning synth/pad/lead whatever it is, is ultra cool, I love that kind of crystalline plucky sound. ^^
Serene Oceans by AMBRADUNA 3 years ago
Wonderful! I love when a tune really paints a sonic landscape, you really nailed the concept down. Great work!!

ascension by IanCarey 3 years ago
Could see this fitting in very well into a film/multimedia work. Very visual to work to me, nice laid back, atmospheric and serene feel, combined with a nice amount of tension. It kept me asking - what's going to happen next? Definitely enjoyed!
Synthetic Lava by rwade 3 years ago
the atmosphere is nice, good overall vibe. i enjoyed it. keep it up!
Smile Protocol by DjDetski 3 years ago
Cool percussives. I dig the minimal feel, especially towards the beginning. Looking forward to hearing more in this style from you. Nice one^^
Crystal Sugar by DjDetski 3 years ago
a lot of very cool elements in here. i really like the minimal parts of this one. Great rolling bassline and really good choice of sounds. and a very tight groove to the whole thing. Sounds like you had great fun on the synths! Super cool.
Unity by 921 3 years ago
very satisfying when the kick drops in. wonderful sound production and design, kind of reminds me of bluetech. awesome!
Catching Cloud by Waleed 3 years ago
cool work amigo. like the guitar work a lot, like chinaman said the pitch bend works beautifully! very nice vibe, and smooth clean sound. gonna give it another listen now^^
Dead Spaced by MichaelDaykin 3 years ago
Thanks 921, you hit the nail on the head with respect to space being left in the mix. I wanted to create a desolate, hopeless, creepy kind of feel with some drive to it. Anyhow, thx for the comment mate!
Dreams' Fake Ambitions by Waleed 3 years ago
very enjoyable, cool space and vibe. nice one!
Life (feat. Stacey) ver. II by C_Man 3 years ago
The beat really works well with the vocals imo. Another really wonderful drifting tune mate.
Fading transmission by 921 3 years ago
absolutely awesome.

wonderful sound design aspect to the whole track, very creative and well crafted sounds, they interact wonderfully with each other.
Ascent (edit) by 921 3 years ago
Really cool track. Awesome choice of sounds. I love how hypnotizing the bassline is, really cool mellow timbre, very cool overall vibe and sound.
Tous Les Mer (Demo Mix) by C_Man 3 years ago
I played this out at a party recently during a set - people went bananas! many asked who made this track, and I was happy to direct them here. Just thought Id let you two know, it was very warmly received.
Traffic by Waleed 3 years ago
Great tune guys! Really smooth sound to me, very nice kick, good progression, very nice mix. solid solid solid!!!!

Eighty Four by Waleed 3 years ago
sounds like you did some good experimenting with this one. i like that chopped up vocal rhythm that keeps panning around, and the psy like trance work in the middle and into the breakdown has a nice morphing kind of sound. The mix sounds clean to my ears. I might try a stronger kick drum maybe. This definitely kept my attention^^
Proof That Food Dynamics Is Awesome by bonsushi 3 years ago
Food Dynamics is a class???? weird smiley. anyhow, pretty good for 15 minutes. Good sketch, could be worked up into something very nice with some more time, eq, and processing. Hurray for portable studios eh?

cheers.
Release the swede inside you (anoukh style) by anoukh 3 years ago
I like this tune, it seems to have an understated quality which kind of chills me out. Vocals very cool, as usual. Nice collab!

Polymetrics by Lukeaef 3 years ago
I liked this, kind of a crazy hectic feel, sort of reminds me of a boss battle in a video game. Thanks^

7 0 7 by DJGRIFFIN 3 years ago
I liked the metallic bubble sounds at the start, and the nice smooth, round kick swells.bI did pick up a few clips or artifacts in a few spots. Extremely cool change near the end, very unexpected, in fact, I think this was my favourite part of the track. Wicked ending, it made a nice contrast to the smooth flowy stuff. Cool tune!
Would I Lie To You? by DjDetski 3 years ago
Yes! This one grabbed me right from the start. The darker, serious feel at the start is really up my alley. I like how you created a big space with trance like elements up top, killer kick down low, and that mean sounding delayed(or sidechained?) growly bass synth (the one that ends the track - I really like that sound). Solid bassline maintains interest whole way through, and I was locked to the beat. I get a kind of progressive/psy/house feel from it, very solid tune.
Blu Hard Hat by DjDetski 3 years ago
Cool tune, clean production with a nice upbeat feel, and lots of tasty portions and intelligent fx. I really liked how you brought the bassline back near the middle - really nice drop in, and a very satisfying portion of the track, and I really liked the synth work right before that (the 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, synth if you know what i mean). I do find the hihat, clap, perhaps a bit too hot for my tastes, but that's just down to personal taste on my part, I think. Nice clean production, I enjoyed it.
Tous Les Mer (Demo Mix) by C_Man 3 years ago

Goodbye by 921 3 years ago
My ipod 921 playlist grows longer^^. Nice subtle evolution.
Farewell by Heightened 3 years ago
Very nice. Reminiscent of Vangelis a bit, but quite different as well. I liked the sustained pad/synths a lot. the mix came through very nicely even on my crap dell speakers. I got some nice ideas from this track - thx!

You paint moods and soundscapes so wonderfully. You must possess a fertile imagination indeed. I agree w Heightened about your effective use of space and silence - this is something I must develop in my tunes. Great work!

Back In Time by Waleed 3 years ago
This was enjoyable, I can see this fitting in very well to a video game setting, at least that's what was running through my mind as I was listening. Nice fast, even hectic pace, without becoming noisy, a nice ride!

Cool tune!
Rubber Ball by DjDetski 3 years ago
I'm wearing a big grin listening to this. If I wasnt at work, I would be dancing it up mate! I like the bouncy happy feel of this one. I was hoping it was going to progress into something a little more full on, but thats just personal taste. Tight production to my ears. Nice work.
