Chill intro mate ... I like the drums comin' in, sound fresh and original ... allthough there's a sound inthere that's a bit to loud ( I think it's a snare not sure, u used it as a snare at 2:50 ).. put the volume down a bit .. Wooow cool bassguitar comin' in Big Grin haha makes me kinda happy cause the sun is shining here like hell ..

I love the whole vibe and feeling of the song, this made me feel comfortable .. nice job on the atmos ..

Cool outro This is a 9/10 mate Bigup just put that snare sound down a lil' ..

Those synth's at the intro are da shit!! Shocked Production sound's fantastic! Bass is super solid!! Really diggin all the sound's used, they blend perfectly! Dam that intro's sweet. Bigup 0:33> Drum's are a bit hard soundin. Awe man, that's some phat ass shit that you did at>1:12!! Nice digaridooo at>3:33! Interesting drum's at>3:48 the snare has a Miami Vice sound. Reverb at end sound's top notch, curious what was used? This one hell of a track man, the only thing I would change is some of the drum sound's used. Nice work! 9/10! Listen

wanted to get some insights on your skills before the rap beat battle...lol.
intro's very lush.
wow, beat that drops in is really weird. doesn't really have the best dynamics.
the sound effects in here are pretty nice.
something missing tho...can't quite put my finger on it.
at 2:45 or whatever when you let the lil melodic percussion play just on the snare spot, that sounds pretty nice.
your beats are very unique, they have a sense of speed, but don't really make me wanna dance so much. they've got weird sounds in em.
what'd you use for the synths in this, kind of reminds me of stuff i do with fm7..
anyway it's ended. not too bad at all. its jus some parts of the beat that i don't really like so much.
8/10

Urban train and railroadworks in the distance, like it already.
Synths/elec piano a bit harder maybe, it could give the whole track the 'glue' to stick together.

Double bass comes in, dunno about it's sound, sounds a bit digital/midi - if you want i can hook you up with some nice real double bass samples (refill: d:rex)
Conga's also a bit loud in comparison to the rest.

All sounds are good, variation and buildup is strong, nice subtle use of fx

By the time i got till the end of the track, i thought of it as a beauty, really.

Only thing: the bass...

but i'm a sucker for real sounding basses

thx for all comments Smile

@ soi: u're right, most of my spunds still sound kinda midi/too clean, should try out some more plugins to get a warmer sound. btw bass samples are allways welcome, it's hard to find decent ones.. but refill is reason isn't it? If you have them in *.wav i'd be happy to accept those Wink hehehe

@ darkisde: I only use samples, and lots of 'em.

mixdown ain't all that yet. Gotto spend some more time on that.

the child out vibe is nice...
the conga drums are nice. although they could do with abit of a change up. or some filtering or something.
the bassline is alright, and the main riff is nice chilld funk stuff.
nice little ear candy n shit in there.
drums are nice. arrangment is fairly good.
production is arlight.
7/10

nice piano sound.....
all other sound are cool....
some odd notes with the piano.....
the bongos are a little too loud.....
like the drop, the bass line has a real nice groove to it......
quite summery......
the track as a whole is missing a lot of treble......apart from the second snare in the beat...
the atmos work is nice all the samples flow in and out real nicely...
the drum workin the 2nd half is cool.....some wierd sounds but in a good way......
i like it a lot, just the beat is a bit odd in the fact the the first and second snare are too different IMO.
maybe leave the second one till the end of the 4th bar or something.....
but i really like the structure and progression......and the groove
nice Bigup

All in all, I think this track sounds very 'pro'.

The only bad things I will say about it are:

a) The snare sounds a bit crap, maybe you could try using a different sample?
b) I don't really like the bassline, the tone is good enough, but I think that the melody sounds a bit awkward in places.

Other than that, it's a top track.

I liked the rode piano. It just fit the whole theme of the song. If I were to remake that song, I'd put a little bit of distortion on the bass, and turn down the drums. The snare kind off out a bit of a put down on the song. It's a tad to ringy. You could also turn the bass EQ down on the drums. But overall, It was a great listen!
