Very nice!

This track reminds me of a track by Glenn Morrison named "Contact" (Look it up on youtube) with the very progressive minimal house feel to it. I haven't really heard this style being produced on NG before, so I'm loving this one right now.

A few notes:
-I like what you have done at 2:02 where you killed the lead and left the pads and bass on, it was a clever way of breaking the repetitiveness of the track while still keeping the same tune.
-There is no problem with repetition, a lot of House tracks today feature loops of the same riff and hook so ya.
-It feels like the lead needs more reverb to it, but not too much. (I don't really know, it's my preference to have a lot of space on the lead)

Well, the track is pretty flawless and it's a catchy riff. I really hope to hear more songs like this done on NG.

P.S. Where did you get your drum samples? Vengeance I'm assuming?

Excellent sequencing!

I like your style a lot. Really digging the square bass. The drums and percussion are really groovy. I know it's just a preview but I'm anticipating the release of this track. Nice work!

DJ-VIZ responds:

thanks man... I love any deep square bass, so I use them all in my electro tracks... Glad you like it...I'll let you know when the fulls done...so many tracks in the making, its taking some time!

Now this is a something here

This is a really groovin' track, very chill. Something worthy of listening to I can see your progression from your track before this one and it's a pretty major improvement.

A lot of good things here:
-The drums and percussion set a good atmosphere along with the scratch loop. Did you use drum loops?
-It's pretty well structured, the build-up and breakdown was solid.
-Good use of pads and effects.

I gotta hand it to you, if you said you were trying to get good, you getting there pretty fast.

Oh ya and some things to improve on:
-Try having more reverb and delay on the main lead.
-You're missing a bassline, you need a bassline, something catchy and low.
-The beat got repetitive in the middle, through in some crashes and claps as you build up.

It's pretty cool song, try some of my suggestions and see if they make the song better. I hope to see and original mix of this one day.

5/5
9/10

Airprogressive responds:

Thanks!! Good suggestions man. I will try them for sure.

I don't know when, but one day there's going to be an original mix of this track with those improvings you mentioned. I will send you a PM that day

Perfect Electro Remix!!!

This is a good example of Electro House here in NG.

The high notes fit perfectly well with the low bass notes. The bassline is very catchy. I'm really digging the sound design of the synths and bass.

The drums weren't bad, love the bass drums, did you create the samples yourself? I also like the fact that you were very minimal with the high hats, you stuck to the same ones which suits the song and genre.

You also did a great job presenting the singers voice. The effects were cool, but I would like to see more clear echoes.

I think you did a great job with the track, and I'm glad you made this a sort of radio edit, a lot of people in NG, unlike me and others, get bored with the DJ friendly intros added.

You really show how most electro house tracks should be!

GroundForce responds:

thank you very much for your review BC!!!

It's going great

I really like the bassline you got going on. I suggest you make the tempo a tad fast, you should have it at the 125-135 BPM range. But I really lie what this track is going to, keep on working on it.

p4c responds:

thx for takin a look, ill try your suggestion and see what i think :) thx again :D

[Looking Back =Excitment= Done]

Amazing!

I like how you changed up the song throughout the whole track, it isn't just some repetitive motion, but it kept the main idea.

Keep doing what you're doing, bring us more!

10/10

[euphoria.]

This is what house really sounds like.

I like the reverb on the main synth melody. The drums are really good also, especially the snare. I mean sure it's repetitive, but thats what House is really like.

This sounds like something you would here in the clubs in Chicago. Keep on making beats!

snayk responds:

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

Bass!

The bassline is the craziest thing I have heard since Deadmau5's Vanishing Point.
A very creative track. Keep em coming!
