tech tribal trance, I guess you can call this. But this is cool, i like it even though I have not heard the original track. Sending you a PM with feedback.

nice concepts, i really liked the groove here,
two main problems ive had with this are:
1. too much on the bass end, and not enough high end
2. if you were really aiming for techno,, the changes are way too frequent

anyway, i cant say i liked this better then the original, but i really liked the idea of remixing this track to techno.

would like to check it out once you rework it (if your going to)

DLing this one now JL

im expecting somegood things from this!
******************************************

well im not disappointed mate!

this track is very good, its just brimming with energy!

the percussion is very good and rhythm wise you cant complain either so the only real things letting it down is the vocal which you can tell has been lifted due to its clarity but i guess theres not alot can be done about that though, as for those searing synthy/303s that come in around 4.30 thay are quality and IMO just add so much more to the track especially energy wise!

very good remix but i think this seems more of an original piece with the vocals stuck on it! try rubbing it down and making it into one of your own cos its got potential!

great tune!

Really like this,got a really nice feel to it. Lots of energy and i'll most definately be burning onto cd if its ok with you. From production point of view sounds very nice and at the mo nothing really stands out as a flaw. However one thing which i dislike is the hi hat which comes in at about 20/21 seconds - it just sounds a bit out of place in my opinion but as soon as the rest comes in at 41 seconds it sounds fine. Its a small point i know but thought i'd mention it as its the only constructive critiscism(?) i could find. Keep up the good work, Tom

i like it. it would definently set the crowd on fire in a huge party.

i like the lil melody at the start, sounds a bit like apollo 440 -stop the rock (gigilo mix)

them acid lines are superb, they add so much to the track its great!

the little spooky plinky synths at the end are a neat touch too, usualyl when people do plinky synths they sounds all gash and floaty, but youve dont a good job!

all you need is a fatter, heavier or should i say, less wishy washy kick!

i can say hand on heart i would definatly play this tune in my sets, its quality!

Percussions on the background sounds prety cool the snare as well and the synths are massive . Great stuff is a keeper.

hey, thanks you guys very much for commenting . Glad you guys enjoyed it and I really appreciate the comments (both positive and constructive)!

This is great.

Gonna road-test this inmy next set

Posted by SuckUpMySenses on Aug-16-2004 05:38:

fuck yeah !!! heh.. this is a definate new sound for me.... Forgive the lack of feedback on technicalties of production. But from a strict listening standpoint: I love the feel of this ! Upon the first listen, I felt the vocals a bit repetitive towards the ladder part of the tune... but no biggie by any means. Wow, this is insane.. I would go mad on the dancefloor If you really wanna know, while listening.. i saw myself dancing w/ thousands of peoples, flashing lights.. slow motion, then fast.. lots of blinking. almost animalistic.. I'm lovin it !!! the whole tune is a climax

Posted by J.L. on Aug-16-2004 06:09:

wow, I'm thrilled by the reaction I am getting with this so far

I have just edited it a bit and took all your comments into mind and made some minor changes (mostly adding extra measures to make it more dj friendly and some slight changes in mastering)

I would definately not mind if you guys play this in your sets. One thing however that would be very cool of you to do is to tell me how it went and a recording would be also very cool

Thanks for your support!

great tune

Posted by tu_face on Aug-19-2004 18:47:

this is a great effort! well done

there are lots of really nice touches, and i like the way its kinda techy yet kinda acid yet kinda big balls trancey at the same time, very original. the first main breakdown is fantastic and i love that mad as toast acid riff! i do think that acid synth needs a little compression and a tweek on the eq (be shy with it though, it aint far off the mark) though as it seems to be quite shrill, yet it needs to stand up a bit more in places.

definitely keep working at this until you are driven into the floor, as i still think there is room for improvement in the kick (try adding other kick samples to what you already have. it has the punch bit it hasnt got the boom if you get what i mean), and the mastering. sometimes it does sound a little cluttered (maybe theres lots of reverb in there?) and it could do with certain elements standing a bit prouder in the mix.

all in all, sterling work mate, i hope you keep at it
