Description : Tried my hand at some energetic breakbeat, I think it turned out pretty nice. The title is from the name of a Star Trek solar system... can't get enough of that Star Trek TNG. Would love to hear what you think! From the Spivkurl album "Strong Like Squirrel."

hi again - just wanted to hear some of your older work and this is a great track! It seems like it's very simple dance/electronic/chip tune(?) but it is made with lot of attention to the production details and that's what I really enjoy here. Very fine listening experience - I do not know if I can hear properly the lower sub-bass frequencies on my speakers but it is for sure the most powerful element of this song.

Maybe I will check out your album as well if still available.

I hope I will be able to release also full collections of my music in the future.
Best to you, Alex

Thank you Alex for the comment on an older song of mine! It does have a bit of low end in this track, but probably not as much as you would think. I wanted to impart a bit of a ska type of feel in this one. I think I've come a long way since this one. Thanks again!

Well i thought i'd return the favour and check out one of your older tracks as well. What does Zendi Kabu mean then? Liking the breakbeats that you've used in this is sounding well old school combined with that heavy sub bass. The riff reminds me of something but i can't think what that is now (f**king helpfull comment that is) Oh and i've just noticed what Zendi Kabu is so no need to explain that now.
Another enjoyable one from you.

Hey, thanks for stopping by! Listening to this again right now, haven't heard it in a while. My main problem with the song is that the bass is too stereo, not my style any more. The riffs do seem a little familiar, wonder who I was ripping off back then? This sounds kind of old now. I appreciate the comment, and your presence on the site! Thanks for the fave too!

This has got a real kinda of 90s feel to it for me. A real fun energy about the whole piece, it's bouncy and uplifting, which made me dance around at work (not a pretty site).

Really cool sound to it and excellent production as always. Really loved it.

Yeah, cool title, grew up in a household full of Star Trek fans, we used to have a lurcher dog named Saavik, miss that dog, amazing how the fictional technology in the old Star Treks are actually a reality today, nothing is impossible aye,...there's that Nintendo sound again, man you sure know how to turn out a fun track, strange Ska feel to this which is hard to put my finger on, cool old school breakbeat..defo makes you want to bounce, nice one man.

Cool, Good to know my wife and I aren't the only die hard Star Trek fans left in the world! You're right, I think star trek influenced so much technology that we take for granted today. Glad you found the track bouncy! Thanks for yet another review!

Fun track. I don't know if it's really energetic, though, it would require much more powerful sounds :P. The track is well structured and sounds fun, good job. But I wouldn't call this track breakbeat - it sounds more like jungle/d'n'b, but that's for you to decide ;).
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied Unknown
Glad you could enjoy the track! I know it's got some jungle/DnB elements to it, but it's my kind of breakbeat. Thanks for listening!

Hey Pat,

Man, I love the bass on this one. Really, really nice :) I happen to know an actor who played a Hirogen Hunter on Star Trek.

He's a pretty good guitar player but one ugly dude, haha.

Nice, happy song. I really enjoyed this one. Keep up the great work.

That organ(i might be wrong) melody sounds like is coming from an ice-cream van!
This is a very upbeat track my friend,a-la Spivkurl-style,perfect to recover from hangovers and mild depressions.
I can see this one being a soundtrack to a video featuring two dwarves(dressed up as clowns)chasing a rival dwarf gang down the road with water-pistols.Unique and exquisite.

Great track Spivkurl! I dont really know what breakbeat is but it sounds like a contemporised version of Calypso music to me. Infectiously catchy and you have used some excellent sounds. Star Trek has provided a great title too!

Nice one kurl, I love the beat dynamic on this, all clean as well. Melody is as usual -happae! the bass around 1.10 is perfect. btw I been having trouble with creating a profound yet wide bass lately and I found that the best way is to turn output on the compressors down a lot while adding reverb, hope that helps with headroom a bit, don't know what gear/prog you're using. Apart from the bass sounding a bit overclocked here i think it's nice and funky, I'd love to hear a continuation of this. I haven't been in the mood for upbeat lately but this certainly helps to get it going. You're an inspiring artist, keep it up.

What a NASTY LIL BASS! LUV THIS TRACK!
epic breakdown too, luv tha composition
and arrangement! Nice kick to go with that ultra bass
and tha drum pattern is truly a breakbeat! That synth
is SO CATCHY, its stuck in me head now, and luv how you
used it during tha breakdown! A tasty lil treat for tha ears,
but for some reason tha synth melody reminds me of Christmas...
I have no idea why, it just does lmao

TOP TRACK SPIV!

Much Respect from LA

Yeah, that bass is nasty isn't it? Glad you could get into this one! I don't know where the breakbeat came from, just one of those from my collection.

Fun track! Feels as if I was in some amusement park or luna park, having a lot of fun and eating lollipops (or is it mushrooms?), lol!
Love the shaky bass and the panning, and that flute synth or whatever it is sounds too cool.

Nice one Spiv!

The first bass sounds like my sub's broken... lol
I really love the alternating instruments in this one.
Pretty hard for me to explain in English but the bass sound and the synth kinda sound almost never play together..
That's what I really like about this track

This is real good work my friend!

Maybe a little bit more variation on the drums would be good... ?

lol Respect my friend ;)

Description : I HOPE YOU ARE NOT TO LAZY TO READ THIS xD

All started with a Future Bass Drum with Reverb at 140 BPM. It sound like Dubstep and then all go fast. A very Deep Synth Flute with Reverb as Bass. Hig Synth for the Melody. High Flute with Reverb for other. And High Wobbling Synth with stereo Phaser. Many Crazy Snares and lite Stick Hits as Percussion with Reverb. End a Pad with the same Stereo Phaser effect. Yeah thats it. I work 4 Hours at this Track. Sounds Like Future Bass or Dubstep with a lite Happy EDM touch. Please leave some Feedback. Which genre is this? Whats good , Whats Bad? You know what I mean :D

This track is a heavily sampled break beat melange featuring Russian vocalist Doctyabrev and excerpts of speeches in languages of the other three countries including Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and Marina Silva of Brazil. There's a whiff of Maceo's "Cross the Tracks" in there too.
