Please check out my new track 'Stekek Strikes Again' and post your comments here!

The track kinda started of just me playing some notes on my piano and then recorded into FL studio. I thought it was gonna be a slow-paced track though i changed the tempo to 175 and blasted some 3osc-reece on it. And there you have it Smile

the metallic sound of the piano isnt fitting imo

edit: and heres why; a blunt piano sound would have worked better as it wouldnt be a center of focus. later on its the most accentuated sound and you never drop it. IMO in this tune it should be a mood setter, not the main lead sound

tinny sound right off and as it drops

drums sound very weak and very frooty loops

the bass sound is alright but nothing to go crazy about

cant really see where its going. the piano is playing all the way through

some of the beats edits were good but you have to beefen em up, suggest a loop layer and/or use of a rhythm machine to make things fatter

its clear heard you got potential but this tune isnt it. scrap it and onto the next one!

The reece needs work. The drums sound very thin and powerless. Pianowork is good, but it doesn't have a groove, it's just melodic parts played in a row. I don't hear a story here. Also instrument choice needs improvement (drums, piano, reece).

Work some more on this, there's hope.

yeah gotta say not sure about the piano sound i'm afraid mate, just not really feelin it, maybe keep it in for the intro but it detracts from the vibe of the tune a bit. Also the thing about reeses is everyone (not me included!) has got so good at em recently that they gotta be pretty fucking tight to impress at these days, and this one is lacking in grit (although it doe sound pretty old school if thats the vibe your going for) The track needs beefing up mate, more bass, heavier beats
