Nice!
Very nice even. But not sure if I like the catchy ongoing melody enough to listen to it for five minutes and then repeat, though...it could use some variation.
Great vocal, both female and male.
I agree somewhat with your views on the melody, but at the same time, I tried to stick with some of the fundamentals from Tropical House music in order to keep Ice House somewhat similar... i.e the repeating melody.
Thank you for your feedback. Always appreciated!! :)
Loving this track. Very chilled and easy to listen to. The vocals sound great and the staccato bassline that comes in after the chorus really livens the track. The spritely pads are a really nice touch, they play a lovely catchy melody.
My only criticism is the claps in the second chorus. They're not quite snappy enough to punctuate the beats as they should do. However, It's a small qualm in an otherwise brilliant track. Thanks for sharing.
*puts on a coat and stokes the stove* Now that was cold!! The concept reminds me of the Black metal movement in the early 90's, a very cold sounding form of metal. Damn clean mix, Sounds really good! I've never tried making an edm track, maybe I'll try making an ice house black metal edm one ;) Good things come out of experimentations, proof right here.
Here is a sign of a great mix. I took off my headphones and things sounded just a clear and rich through my speakers. beautiful work. love that icy cool synth sound. regards.
Crikey, ice house is brilliant. I might give it a try, and I'm also curious to know if we maybe could do one together? I think working with you would be a great experience.
I really hope ice house catches on. I'm liking it! That intro synth captures the sound perfectly I think, with that touch of digital distortion to give it that crystalline sound. I think there needs to be a club made completely of ice where ice house could be featured. I really love your breakdowns/drops with that offbeat bass. The melody is really cool too. Your mix is nice and bass heavy and I think adding a little more to the high end would reinforce that ice sound. The mids could also be taken back a bit. Some of those pad sounds kind of overpower other elements. I'd love to do your competition too but I'm completely swamped right now. I might do something ice house-ish later in the winter though. Nice work!
Well all I can say is if this is an example of Ice House music, then I want MOAR of it!! Your mixing and song structure were absolutely ace, no issues that I could find! That crystalline texture you presented in this one capture Ice House perfectly :P Great work on this one, I'm definitely coming back for more :)
definitely has that winterish feel to it. Love those icy synths.
check out my Igloo track :) for your comp, I made it a while back but I thought it might be fitting. https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/170965
And as for the structure, I don't necessarily have a particular template that I produce tracks from. I find that pre-structured tracks sometimes get boring because everybody uses the same structure, you feel?
Most of my music doesn't follow a particular structure like intro-verse-chorus/drop-verse-chorus/drop-outro...as someone who has been involved with music his whole life, I've heard far too many songs like that.
I'm doing my best to break the mold as much as I can! Hopefully it's working :)
The synth standing brightly from start to end really mixes well with the changing beats. Nice transtion between 1:20 - 1:21! The lead(?) synths that just joined after that perfectly mixes in the track. What was missing here is that hous-ey feel. I would rather call it as a chill type song than a house. Anyways, your music is great! Keep doing it!
Although, I do have to disagree with the missing house feel. I'm no expert, but if you listen to artists such as Kygo and Wave Racer you can hear the resemblance.
Check out the competition I'll be hosting for the production of an Ice House track! It'll be in the forums!
P.S. I realized a few minutes ago that your name is just R2D2 backwards...which has given me a newfound respect for you my friend. Keep doing you.
The intro synth hit is slightly generic, but the rest is very original!
It reminds me of a couple of songs back from 2012, but I can't remember their names.
I'm happy you liked it!! I can't wait to get lyrics to it.
You should totally check out the competition I'm going to host for the production of an Ice House track. I know it's out of your comfort zone, but I'm sure you can whip up something truly beautiful.
I'm totally on board with the idea of "ice house." I think that the idea of a crystalline soundscape that evokes the cracking of glaciers and the sparkle of ice is a great one. And when you wrote "igloo" I laughed; that's super clever.
Hey man thanks!! :) I have a few clever things to say sometimes (key word there is sometimes)
Also, I'd like to see what you've got in terms of creating an Ice House track! I plan to hold a small competition with the production of an Ice House track!
Great sound pallet and i like the experimental side of it but i feel the use of the complextro/electro style maybe a little heavier for the idea you have going, defo needs low end played round with and you have some over compressed sound dropping out ever so often in the sequence but over all the tracks cool, i like different because it means people are tyring to break the moulds which is what music is all about...

You should give Ice House a shot! Only good things come from experimenting!!

Just a note though, there is no real deadline for the competition ;) I'd love to hear what you can do with a crystalline structure.

Also, very curious about the structure of your track. Not a ordinary house track but something else.

But I do have to disagree with the over compressed sound you mentioned. I can't really hear anything that is over-compressed. But to each his own!
Definitely trying to break the mold with my style. Hopefully it's working!
Thanks for your feedback my friend! Check out my EP in the forums!!
