thanks for checking scorp. i will check out the groove and see if i can pimp it out a bit more. believe it or not there is a lot of different swing and timing component to all of the elements especially the drums. i don't use loops or anything like that in any of my tracks. everything is all by hand, but listening now i can imagine expanding on the percussion.
btw this is the first thing i've worked on in 3 months so yeah. not too shabby i hope haha

This has a nice originality to it, and I like the way you dare to be so Spartan. Nice soothing mix.

thanks! haha what do you mean by spartan?
any thoughts on its completeness or what it may be lacking musically/dance track wise?
going to outro it, then it's done? the age old question

I'd say it could use a memorable stand out item of some sort, maybe a little home made vocal tribe thing or whatever.
Spartan - I mean nice and clean with few sounds at one time playing, often very effective.

Yup! That's me singing. I still have some work to do, I'm actually thinking of re-recording some of the chorus vocals as well. I'll check out your tune when I get home!
I'd just call it electro house but you could also probably call it big room.
cool, nice singing mate. Hey What mic and pre did you use?
p.s. I still wanna here the hook section peak some more! Pulled out of the driveway yesterday and that hook just popped into my head, thats a good thing!

Cheers,

Yea man...much easier to deal with. And I know JUST what you mean about the 140 bpm. Those are tough as hell

Yeah, sorry this track is already my remix version of 140bpm original one but the vocal is as it was in this trance version lol -> this vocal was really, really good and clean so my work was obviously limited as far as reworking and repairing - Amy is really great to work with and Dave can really conform that lol
This remix was about exposing the smoothness and lightness of Amy vocal and with some addition of leads (which I was trying to create some form of conversation between them like in 2:05 and more with piano parts) I was able to create this melancholic but vibe driven atmosphere.
Cheers,
Darek

Darek, your productions are always tight as hell man.
Thing that stands out is the piano movement...very bright.
That kick!
And you nailed the melancholy vibe...
(more bass /chuckles)

To me the most significant part would have to be at 1:50 with the stab.
It fills the track out a lot. I also dig the underlying arp which adds alot of dimension to the track.
Again, LOVE that kick (slight verb?)
If it was me?..oh you don't want that..lol well, again, you have the dreamy dreary vibe already but I have always liked a sidechained pulsing bass undertone on ambient tracks.As well a deep sustained huge sub. I also dig the barely able to pick up reese floating behind the sub ala 7lions-Tritonal duck
