Description : Summer type dance track, for those precious 2 weeks off, if you can get them! Made around a selection of different loops and some keys from me.
I remember the school days when you used to get 2 weeks off every so often, ah those were the days! Now I'd be lucky to get that off! Anyway, nice track has a pretty uplifting feel, love the synths and beats, good job!
Nice Dance track mate! And a nice track title too. I would like to make a special mention of tambourine which you've used very efficiently, It's seldom we hear it these days. Glad you used it & how.
Great mood and intro. Intriguing key change, I'd effect it more to put more emphasis on it. Overall the arrangment seems to need a little work, I think that such a good tune deserves to be more catchy. As it is now, it tends to became a little repetitive. Still like it a lot :)
Dance music repetitive?? Noooo!! Thanks mate but no, I am done with the track now and need to put it to bed. I did it quite a long time ago now and had it hanging around so I posted it so I could move on. Thanks for review anyway I will return the favour in due course.
I am sooooo diggin' the this track. I'd like to ditto what FR said regarding the key changes...very smooth, very summer, with a light dusting of retro!
Hi mate thanks for reviewing, haven't been on for a while one thing and another, summer is totally what I was going for and the build up to those precious weeks off! Thanks again, glad to see you're still around. Love,Light & Sunshine!!
Smooth track, head bobbing instantly. A little crowded in the mix in places but nothing too much to worry about especially when it has that fantastic funky smooth groove.
Yes, I was thinking of adding before that Underworld’s Two Months Off is a bit better than yours but thought I wouldn’t bother. Hey, it’s not easy being as good as surely one of the greatest dance acts of all time.
Those guys made quality home listening serious music albums as well as the obviously excellent pumping live dance shows. My favourite album is probably Beaucoup Fish, with killer tracks such as King of Snake, Jumbo and Push Upstairs.
If your mix is too crowded with the leads, just find ways of subduing the other elements eg use EQ to sculpt the pads when the leads are playing. And/or just turn them down.
I don’t use pads nearly as much as I thought I would years ago when planning to get a whole synth setup and emulate some of my favourite far out sounds. I find they take up a lot of room. I quite often just use delays on guitar parts as that often adds the far out vibe I’m looking for. And I can also make some pad-like sounds on guitar using a slow attack effect.
Also, if a mix is too crowded, turn the delays/reverb down and/or have fewer notes playing. Lots of ways to do it so good luck...
everthing i want to say is already said by other members below me ...
great synths and the "windy "sound in the background makes it real breezy ...
good job !!
Maybe they were thinking of summer holidays or downtime from touring in a band and you're just thinking of time off a regular job.
Anyway, this really gets moving on 1:14 and that is a classic bassline. Fizzy cymbal stuff works well.
1:43 key change was a bit of a surprise but it works pretty well.
Definitely solid dancefloor stuff.
One thing I'd say is the track is lacking leads as, aside from drums, you're relying on basssline, pads, key changes and stops to provide interest. Slot a lead or two in (eg arpeggiated) and things might get more interesting and have more depth. Just an idea...
Hi mate thanks for review, yes I had forgotten that Underworld track, but the 2 weeks off did ring some bells somewhere!!?? I think theirs is slightly better though! ha ha
I did experiment with some leads (and still have the mix) but it just sounded a bit too crowded. Maybe will remix and post if I come up with anything I think is any good. Thanks for input.
Yeaaa! i can dig it smallpaul! Grooving work with this, has some nice chillout elements to it. Great choosing of loops, and the mixdown is sounding rather clear. Seems like many are improving, glad to see you around man. Very good job, peace
Well the intro is sounding hot and niceley in with the drums. This has a propper retro feeling to it and i'm liking that vibe. Like the way that it changes key and then reverts seemlessly back to the original riff. There's some excellent summer time vibes going on here and i'm glad i dropped in to listen to it.

Description : I have been using LooperMan for practice for some time now. This my most recent track. The only loop in the song is BabyGee's vocals. Free to download and if you repost tag me so I can share it as well.
Description : A psychedelic techno cello epic. It's not really techno as it's only 110 BPM but something like that (eg breakbeat), with lots of banging beats and arpeggiated acid synths, plus a whole load of my layered cello playing techniques. There aren't that many synths used but they do a lot of work and are carefully automated. No guitar. Drums are mostly a lot of drum loops, supported by a few programmed acoustic drumkits. Very busy and complicated with loads of different sections (funky, chilled, fast, heavy) that make up a constantly progressing trip. I don't know if there's any other cello music like this so let me know if you think there is. Interesting feedback appreciated - criticism, praise, ideas etc. Enjoy...
Description : Inspired by an experimental percussion piece I heard. Rhythmic ticking builds into pounding beats and heavy soundscapes. I haven't done any mixing or mastering yet so tell me what you think. Any and all comments are welcome.
Description : A song about a damaged soul. Sadly, based on a true story. Gorgeous loops here are by Hardstyle Rythm, Aboe, and Princess Hollywood. All basslines by that fiendish genius Rasputin. Take a bow, gentlemen
Description : Pretty basic dance track. Was experimenting with the Falcon synth plugin, hence the name. Instrumentation for the melody lines might be a bit unusual, more orchestral. Vocoder is from the Icarus synth plugin, a great new instrument.
Description : Hello everyone here's a song from my album anymore that really is near and dear to my heart I hope you guys and enjoy it and never let anyone bring you down or tell you that you are good enough!
