we don't need any more producers
what we need is a little less producing
and a little more of making of music

I agree 100% MH - Most of the so-called 'producers' these days are people pressing buttons on a computer keyboard. They tend to think this makes them a musician as well. That's why the 'music' coming from these 'producers' all sounds the same. No spark, no creativity, no emotion & no way I'm going to buy it.

I like it! Don't have much to say other than it sounds like it's well made, I enjoyed the character of the sounds.

perhaps to some extent you are right, but in this case it is not so!
I myself have been doing music all my life, gone to music school and played in bands, etc. so you do not think it's any kind of creativity in my songs without all sound the same? you can not draw all over a line
Have not asked anyone to buy my music, soundcloud is free.

I was actually replying to MH's post. But I tell you what - I will listen to your track and post a review later this week. I will call it as I see it. I don't understand what you mean by 'you can not draw all over a line' ??!??

[Jerome]

OK so I started listening to this - from the word go - the same old doof, doof, doof 'drum'beat you hear on just about every track these days - no variation, no dynamics, no feel. Just plain old copy and paste samples. By the time I got to the fake handclap I had had enough. Sorry - don't like it.

[Joshpop]

Yeah think the track is well produced, not to keen on the vocal sounds a bit heavy on the melodyne.

Everything else sounds tight and well compressed, always a fan of sidechain compression to get that 'doof doof' (as some people put it) cutting through.

The Roland TR808 (hand clap) was first produced back in 1980 and has been used on many great and successful records..

The only thing i will suggest to @Jerome or @MH is that you don't look through the Electro/Techno/House forum if you clearly don't like or appreciate the hard work and hours aspiring producers put into there work... in this particular genre.

Its like me saying to a new band 'ah hate that country pop song you played, it has the same A/B structure, the same chord progression and the same tone and vocal range we've been hearing for the last 30 years..'

there response:
"ah well.. we choose to use these structures and chord progressions and sing at the range we do.. its because its proven that it sells records and that it makes it easier for us to market our music to the correct audience and the genre of music we are aspiring to develop into..."

Strange analogy but i dunno makes sense to me.

But fairplay everyone is entitled to their own opinion..

The vocals are very good! Is this prog house music? I have no clue what genre it is Smeddo! I like sounds so I pretty much listen to all music except for the repitious rap music and pop stars. I am more of an album guy! Random Access Memories and Disclosure's Settle are two great albums IMHO!..they fall in the EDM category in some instances!

Welcome aboard MD, and thanks for sharing!
