RickyM - FunkWaves

OK just posting a sample here of a track I just finished - sort of bouncy house / progressive? I really don't know.

FunkWaves

Just looking for some advice on any labels who I could send this to? That's if its worth sending of at all

The song was 'codenamed' 'P1mpD@ddy - (The Gandalf Mix) - probably due to this picture:

But I decided on a name change.

Anyway feedback is welcome, thanks

Hey Rick,

Deep and groovy indeed, the break is sweet as butter, the fx u use are kick ass. This one is going on repeat I can tell you that. The kick is great, the bassline is hot and sexy. You and Ferry Corsten have a lot in common, too bad you don't share his fame (yet).

Only thing I would have done to make it more suitable for labels is pump up the BPM a bit. The track is a tad too slow.

Other than that your producing skills rock mate. And I do not say that because you are also my partner in crime, I am the first to really criticise you if you deliver shit. But this is a superb piece of funkyness and a lot different than we hear on here. People are bitching a lot about trance being too generic, well you prove trance can be funky, original and laidback at the same time.

Cheers mate!

wasnt expecting it to be this good but i agree with the previous comments. SUBLIME!

That kick is superb the effects are also nice

this one has definately has a chance of getting signed very well produced and mastered.

well done

sounds more like prog to me, not trance
fx are doing this funky, nice
piano break is cool, like it
perc and bass works well together....bass is really good

not my coup of tea, but well produced, definetly can get signed
good luck

goes good with bass n other stuff.
nice proggy stuff to me.
nice piano break , atmosphere is good and warm
neat

Posted by Aesthetic on Mar-16-2006 07:24:

Nice little cross over between prog trance with nice housey elements in it.. I like it ricky.. nothing too over the top. that kick and bass is killer too =) And the filtering towards the end of the sample sounds great

Good job even for a faget like you........

Rick man, your getting good at this shit now mate. Real quality pal, lovely stuff.

PM'd.

Hot shit man, hot shit.

Posted by Andy French on Mar-16-2006 16:08:

Wow this is really clean. I love those notes right before the break. This reminds me of something Markus schulz or Armin would play - especially the bass. Only problem i had with it was what others said as well and that's the BPM. Other than that man, great job and good luck gettin' signed.

Thanks guys

About the bpm, it was initially at 130, I felt it was too fast, so I put it to 126bpm...I suppose it is personal preference really.

THanks again

Posted by Massive84 on Mar-16-2006 19:54:

uh.

I was impressed of the soundscapes.

The stutter is to upfornt in the mix and to much repeated.

Your perc is not fully filled yet. prefer to hear some original sounding percussion.

Your fx sounds are quite nice.

Now the break kicks in and the tune went from some 10/10 house to 1/10 teletubby music.

Let people dance or cry, not both really. Just remember, in house music you don't have to put any hook, it's all about beat that keeps people dancing and the edits that makes them go \ o /.

Posted by RickyM on Mar-17-2006 11:56:

Thanks Massive

I didn't intend it to have a melody, but when I made the piano I felt I had to use it.

PS - Don't knock the teletubbies

Posted by The Drow on Mar-17-2006 18:12:

Nice bass.
The stabs are nice
Good pads.
The the piano is nice. It a tad loud though.
Good kick off. I expect to hear another element kicking in.
The sidechained pads are nice but they cover up the groove.

7/10
Omer.

I like this one. Not over the top, but very pretty. I can't say much against it.
