Love what you've done with the track. Especially the 808s, they're clean and subtle and the pitch bend really makes it interesting. Good work

Thanks man, it's not all my expertise, the samples I used were already pretty dope on that.

This is like a pro guide to using loops in a musical way.
Enjoyed this a lot.

Darknives replied 26th Jul 2016 - 8 years ago
The flutes are more or less 4 or 5 small samples I downloaded from looperman and then arranged to get that specific melody. But I really didn't even alter them much.
Can't remember the username though.

Well that was a cool drum beat to start off, it had me hooked immediately. That bass is way compressed and it really adds a spicy flair to the track and accompanies the flute quite well. Thanks for gracing my ears with this groovy instrumental! Hoping you find the collab youre looking for!

Best,

Brado

It's weird, the bass really had nothing to do with the song, but ended up fitting nicely. The drums I didn't edit much just used the samples as they came.

This actually had me smiling dude! I saw a colab request, not sure if that's still open but I would love to put vocals over this if it's alright with you. Just hit me up if you're down.

Dope track. Really impressive what you did with those flute sounds. The bass line was very captivating. I don't hear much in this genre, but when I do it's always something amazing. Great Production! Check out my new track "Passion" when you get the chance, and leave some feedback.

Yo.

This has a cool, dark, grooving vibe. You're really bringing the stoner and beats together. Probably in a way no one else is.

It sounds like there is something like a high violin in there (panned right). What's that? It really comes out at 1:13. Good breakdown there.

Good riffage and driving beats. I'll say more another time when I have more time but it's simple congratulations for now from me.

Quite creative. I like the piano and the wobbly feel it has. The chords are different. The subby kick is quite subby and juicy. Keep at it, you may have something quite unique and different here with more experimentation.

Im not very familiar to the genre but with this track you made curious what more there is. Very nice track and great build up. You give a greta feeling with all. Some chill vibes with some serious guitar flavour. Very nice and well executed track!

Trip hop can vary a lot. It's basically hiphop mixed with other genres, I just like to do stoner and psych a lot xd.

(Something written to this beat)

Nice beat. Reminds me of El P from Def Juks. Good job.

Hey man, thank you for the comparisson. I like El-P, found him through Run The Jewels and have been a fan since.
That rap sounds good, would you like to rap to this song? Really like your style, hit me up if u're interested.

Definitely A Banger. Never Really Knew What Trip Hop Sounded Like, But This Is Probably A Perfect Example Of It. And It's Really Mind Stimulating, I Think The Term Is Psychedelic. Unlike Some Other Tracks I've Heard This One Has Excellent Mixing. Great Production! Check Out My Tracks When You Get The Chance And Leave Some Feedback. Keep It Up Man!

More trip-hop, yes please...

Guitars, dark & heavy, awesome drumming... You have a new fan..

I really liked the switch at 1:11, unorthodox yet fitting.

That brought me down from a music high in a good way.. Thanks dude, that was a good listen.

This is definitely something I would think of as trip hop! I love the psychedelic edge to the sound design, and there are many other flavors present which make it a pleasure to listen to! It has been good to see the spread of more sensible mixing and mastering techniques here on Looperman, and I think that this song is a great example of that. It is loud enough to hear everything, yet not so loud that I was forced to drop the volume in order to protect my ears. Very well balanced frequency spectrum. I enjoyed it thoroughly! Fave!

Thanks man, that's great to hear when there's so much reverb and delay going on. Also not mastered yet. Will be soon though.

Yo.

I dislike most things described as 'trap' but I like this. Probably because it's more intelligent and psychedelic than most trap.

Intro long tones remind me a little of Eastern sounds, and especially around 0:09 with those extra notes.

0:24 fat warm simple low bass and distinctive lead synth.

0:54 nice little break. Then the next section is more melodic and chilled. This is good stuff.

1:24 cool little sample that continues into the new section.

1:55 here's your new sample for the next section fading in and it's good. Some nice string work. I like this arrangement structure of bringing in the new samples for the next section when you have a little break.

3:04 return to earlier crazy high lead for the next two sections.

End was too abrupt but I think you said before that you like that kind of ending.

Congratulations and good luck with this.

Darknives replied 14th Jul 2016 - 8 years ago
Still some aspects to take care of, including the end, seems cut, not a true ending. This song was done to fast to easy, it all came together so fast, I still have to experiment more, get some little details right, maybe unify the drums better.

This is not my favorite song of mine, I'm also not a fan of tipical trap but been listening to some very good stuff from time to time, non mainstream trap.

Thanks for super review as always man.
Peace

This is just amazing!
I'm a singer from Spain and I'm on a project of trap/dancehall/vaporwave experimental shit and etc.
I really would like to collab with you and use this frenetic beat to rap on it! What do you think?
Best regards ;D
