Really dig thiose jazzy stab's,...1:26> could do with some more bass,..lak's the impact im assuming this part is supposed have,...maybe not,...nice sample at>3:34,..Some bongo/conga's would sound phat in the final drop somewhere,...this part of your tune has that rollin vibe,...Your intro is solid,...sounds/samples used are really good,...3:34> be my fav drop,..some really sick ideas in there,...structure is solid,...phat tune,..enjoyed me listen,...cheers...

heavy intro, really like your style. the elements fit together perfectly. good drums sounds here. mainpart doesnt sounds that clean though. and i dont reall y like the change of the subject at 2:30....
so id say the low frequencies could need some work. and im missing some percussion layers here and there. it gets lil cranky in the end. too much changing...
heavy stuff though :-)

Huge bright sound quality - great hits and splendid use of the whole stereo landscape - when those bongos come in the beat sounds big and full. The evil twist in a different key is unexpected: cool but not sure how well it blends with bright horn hits. Great filtered reeces going on in the distance, great drum filtering, vocal samples etc. Some damn nice ideas here and excellent attention to detail on the first drop out. The second drop is a big change again. Second drop out at 3:26 sounds really professional and like the stuccato vocal bringing the beat back in. This beat is catchy but maybe a bit fragmented (8th note off beat crunchy hats) for some peoples liking. Sound quality is really nice and big (a bit of interference in the bass frequencies). And the last 40 seconds has some great ideas going on with the pitch modulation and that ending is pure killer - wicked!!!
Great to have you back on the site ol boy. Check out Heavy Metal Jungle (I it posted while you were away I think - thumper was a bit of an old school novelty track)

well good intro. i cant really say why, but i dont think the high hats youve got at the start are 100 percent right, i just think they sound a bit on the bate side. wicked jazzy stabs though, and good sound comes in 0:32 the first build to the beat could have gone on even longer i thought. its all good so far in general.
first beef. the thing that comes in at 1:26. tune wise it doesnt seem to have a lot to do with what went on before, and the sound lacks intensity. still i guess its still building, and, my bad, you do bring back the jazz stabs again, so it does make sense.
the whole thing is well crafted, definately keeps you interested. but when we get to the meat of the track at about 2:30, although the bass idea is wicked, it should have more depth i think. plus i reckon it would sound good if every 8 or 16 bars you dropped it an octave, and maybe changed the sound, made it more sharp analogue or summat
i know you said you were happy with the strucutre, but i reckon its got a bit too many diffeent phases, the track is running but you just dont get enough time to get into it a t points.
3:35 erm actually this is pretty sick. maybe more variation on the bass sounds as i already said, and some of the drum variation isnt entirely convincing, but the track has a good vibe. plus a lot of nice little sounds such as the vocals to keep you intersted. v enjoyable listen.

Sounds clear n funky , nice reece coming in !
Drop kicks ass , but i don't like the snare .
The rest of the drums are nice , exept the kick that could be a bit louder.
nice combination of trance-funk-jump-up 
there are a bit too much buildups inhere for my taste.
love the breakdown , good vocal use.
buildups a bit strange , with the fuck "hug" vocal ( i realy hate that vocal n everybody's using it...why?)
2nd drop is very cool aranged , but still the EQing could be much better , sounds too bandpassed (drums)
Outro is could be longer.

Love the buildup! Great work!
The bassline that comes in at 1.25 sounds a bit out of place 
Your kicks could kick a bit more imo.

My first review in like 9 months 
Alrighty, let us see.
The first thing that i heard (the jazzy string+hat) scared me :s No idea, but imo the FIRST jazznote should be removed, but otherwise the start is quite intriguing (; Those funky cuts are quite original i think. :o When the bass comes in for the first time - my fave part, i simply love when bass comes in that way. The whole style of the beats and bass and everything coming in is quite good, though imo the beats could use some more beats! I mean, make 'em a tad more variable! More different hats or other snares/kicks; something! 
The part from 2:30 = l0l, fun ;D Funny and original, but again the beats. They fit quite well, i agree, but imo there's just something wrong :o The voices are cool
The part that comes in at around 3:30 after the long transition should be different from the part directly before this transition imo
Otherwise it might just get boring =/ Add some instruments/change the beats or bass - just make it a tad different! The beats near the end are good. The end would simply OWN if it would be smoother between the bass and jazziness
In other words, the track is more than well-done, but I think the main thing you should change is the beats in the track - add some more variety to them!
But don't change the beats in the end
Keep it ap!

rather unimpressive over all. everything fit together in a paint-by-numbers kind of way, but this track leaves me wanting to have listened to a different track.
I think it's mainly because the progression is so limited or maybe I just hate congas... really both are true.
Listen I need to get 5 100 word reviews and I'm stopping short right here. There's just nothing left to say.
It stinks!

this tune is like a patchwork quilt. the different stages on their own sound fine, but put together like that it takes the "roll" away from it. a bit frankenstein.
that aside, lets break it down.......the intro is good n jazz funky (as the name suggests) and the stabs are nice. the switch to the harder side doesn't fit at all and i would personally take it out. the main drop was a nice surprise with the funky, progressive feel of the bassline. that has a feelgood vibe about it.
the end is ok but i would keep the beats you used in the main chunk of the tune.
to sum up, the idea is excellent apart from too many beat switches and the use of samples is to a high standard (vocals in particular).
not bad at all.

love the intro on this track crisp and clear and funky as hell, great vocals on there really work together, bass seems a little weak in parts of the track and i dont like the melody that much because its not that original but with that intro i was glued immediately, just seemed to muddy after the intro needs the drums bringing out especially the kicks. cant wait to see what you do with it.
later!!
