Please check out my new track 'Swat Raids' and post your comments here!!!

This track contains audio from the Versus II raid video, as well as from the CNN news report. Let me know what you guys think need to be changed. I am aware of a slight compression problem (audio not data).


This track has been deleted because of copyright violation

happy intro Happy
... like an Spliff effect on a sunny afternoon.
XTC vocal totally fits in ...
reece comin up ... wow that nicely done.

Drop is a litle disapointing me ... i'm not really feeling it.
appart from that , the rest is great !
I think i heard that sample before (synth).
2nd drop is a bit better.
Big Grin Vocals are amazing.

This is more a listen track than a danceable track imo.
keep it up sycotic

Sup bro, yeah feelin' that hip-hop stylee intro. Actually I like that intro man, it's definitely trippy. A little happy sounding but fits the surroundings well. Ok, here's the drop...came a bit shy of makin' me wanna break shit, but it hit alright. Bass just got lost somewher ein there, perhaps the compression problemo you were talking about? I liked the vocal clips tho but the track itself didn't seem to progress much beyond the drop. Overall I think this track would've sounded better if it were more aggressive, to demonstrate the anger towards the raids, you know what I'm sayin'? It just kinda hit one tone and didn't go very far. Gotta say tho I liked the intro the best out of this tho, pretty phat hip-hop beats. All in all not a bad joint but could use some more cosmetic work. Big ups boi.. Bigup

wouldnt have any suggestions for a beat unless i could see what kind of samples you have in stock...
here i could just give a bunch of vague adjectives like snappy snare, deep kick etc...

anyway the review

intro is fruity as hell but good for hiphop i guess lol did you make that dude? actually i kinda like it. cool breeze.
hip hop beat could use velocity changing to make it more swingy but whatever, since its just an intro. wish you coulda entered the hip hop contest, we woulda squared off like mad...

i think beat is tight. i can tell about that compression thing tho...but im sure youll figure it out.

pretty nice, really. bring the lead bassline out some more tho, i wanna hear it churning like the rage in the hearts of the ravers.

dont really have anything else to say, this is fairly good.

the drums seem in the background a bit. the bassline could use some velocity changes the vocal could use a flanger maybe to "peak" it towards the breaks. solo the female talking about the drugs. the atmosphere is very cool. the bass seems muffeled a bit. the bassline should jump to a new sound after the second drop, maybe add a distortion layer with an envelope controlled by velocity. i dig it. some of the sounds need to be brighter. get this track done! it needs to be heard for way too many reasons. peace 7/10

Hey man first off thanks for making this tune, all of us in Utah are overwhelmed by the amount of time and effort people all over the world are putting in to help us spread news of Versus2. Mad love bro!

Now to review, I love the hip hop thing in the beginning, it sounds like there is some kind of harp thing in there near the end of the loop and that kinda puts it over the top and makes it cheesy, if theres any way to get rid of that I would do it... also in the intro where the news vocal (not CNN, btw) comes in, the beat gets repetitive. I imagined a few piano notes here and there to help change it up and accent it a little if ya know what I mean...

The drop and the beat are way sick! For the body you seem to stay far away from any high end synths, you should really throw some trippy, bright lead in there to flesh out the track a bit.

Maybe its just because I hate Sheriff Tracy so much but hearing him say 'multiple felony arrests' so many times in the second drop is annoying.

Also... speed it up a bit maybe?

Positively ill man, keep it up cant wait to hear the finished version. Rinse 8/10
