Adam Solomon - Jupiter, Saturn and Beyond [Deep Space House, Soft-Prog] Ver 1.1



Hi Guys,

Below is the result of my latest excursion into deep house territory. This one starts off nice and dubby, adds a somewhat techy flavor and along the way and finally, transforms into an almost progressive house-like mixture of pulsating bass and ethereal melodies.

Not much else to add. This might by my last set of a while that sounds anything like this, so do check it out if it looks like it might be your thing.

Feedback is always appreciated, of course. I already know that some might point out he very last transition as being somewhat off. It might sound a little weird and first but I think that it makes sense.

EDIT: Alright, so I went ahead and did it anyway. I wasn't happy about the last transition in the end, and despite the last track being quite beautiful, I ended up changing it. The new one couldn't have come at a better time, as I knew it would work as soon as I heard it. I was actually hoping that I'd have had it yesterday as I was waiting on the digital release. Luckily it came out today so I was able to grab it and include it as well.

Cheers!

Posted by Adam420 on Jan-04-2010 23:15:

That would certainly be appreciated, sir!

This is my first proper review, and im making this coz this kind of style is which i LOVE.

Track1 -> Nice choon for starters. Flowing into the void of spacyness.

Transition 1 -> 2 : Excellent - i had to listen that again for making sure im following correct point

Track2 -> Love the bass, and the pads/vox-combination works very well.

Transition 2 -> 3 : Works very well. Nice work!

Track3 -> This bass gives good pressure and little bit more groove for the set this point.
Overall quite groove tune, i like this one

Transition 3 -> 4 : Comparing to other transitions, this was the most "off" at this point.

Track4 -> I would have make this track n.3. Now the flow is killed little bit. That "deeper"-sample doesn't sound good IMO.

Transition 4 -> 5 : This one works very well. Fast one which fitted good at this point.

Track5 -> I like this kind of groove. Its deep but still zumbamatical dancable FUCKING TUNE!!!

Transition 5 -> 6 : Fast & working, but...

Track6 -> ... this track completes the goodness.

Transition 6 -> 7 : Fast & working ... sick basss!!!!

Track7 -> "Hot knife into cold butter" - works!!

Transition 7 -> 8 : And the bass fest continues

Track8 -> The groove is ON!! What-a-track

Transition 8 -> 9 : Sick transition. What the fuck is wrong with u?

Track9 -> I dont know, but this track reminds me of J-M Jarre. Twisted sounds, excellent.

Transition 9 -> 10 : Good, good, good mate.

Track10 -> The best bass at this point. Its a pacemaker! But little bit more roughness would be good extra for this track.

Transition 10 -> 11 : Nothing to complain.

Track11 -> Now the roughness came! Not so interesting track though...

Transition 11 -> 12 : Not so good, but it got better in the end.

Track12 -> More interesting choon than 11. I like the bells ALOT!!!

Transition 12 -> 13 : That number 12 works excellent in the background

Track13 -> A bit dull choon for my taste - but still ok.

Transition 13 -> 14 : Nice work again.

Track14 -> I like the atmosphere of this, also samples are working good.

Transition 14 -> 15 : Good work also in this one.

Track15 -> This doesn't work for me.

Transition 15 -> 16 : Excellent transition!

Track16 -> Although i like Watson & Funk D'Void, this track isn't working in this end.

Transition 16 -> 17 : Even this one was way off, im not concerned. DJ's are human and this is why most sets with mistakes are organic.

Track17 -> Beautiful ending!!


Overall : I sensed a three-phased set, which included deep start, techy middle-section, and groove/prog-licious third-part. The whole package worked well, but i picked 2-3 tracks which didn't fit into the mix. Even with these complaints: i enjoyed, good work!!!


Posted by Adam420 on Jan-05-2010 01:42:

Wow man, thank you so much. And here I am contemplating re-recording this mix with an alternate ending track...yet you make me feel better about what I have now.

I really appreciate your detailed review of this mix. Putting it together was a bit of a challenge in terms of choosing tracks. I bought a lot yet ended up using relatively little. You make it worth it though

Downloaded it and will listen to it when I move back into the dorms during the next few days. Definitely looking forward to it!

And thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed mine

Hehe, I'm actually re-recording (yes, I'm miserable) with an alternate ending. Will have it on Soundcloud later tonight. Cheers.


Posted by Adam420 on Jan-05-2010 04:55:

Sorry guys, last bump, I promise, but I updated the original post as I decided to re-do this in the end. No major changes except for the very end.

Peace and love

alright, just peeped it.

First tune was alright, very mellow and spacey. like the quick mix out of it, it was going nowhere fast and you brought in the next tune at an appropriate time. much happier with some more elements and vocals (well... more like moaning) playing a role. that bassline is grooving!

it's an interesting set structure so far, you're mixing in directly after the breakdown. so it's like "break.... bang! something new". a little different and thoroughly enjoyable.

"Chris Lattner - Deep As Hell (Pezzner's Sub Floor Dub Mix)" - don't like the beginning to this, very dry. and what was a somewhat melodic set went into a very dry organic sound.

the next was much better, can't go wrong with a John Daly production, love his sound. And it's a little livelier, "flute-ier", a little keyboard in there. yummy.

lost tracks of tunes, but whatever comes in @ 35 minutes is AWESOME. very intriguing and deep. love that sheeet. almost a native american feeling with that flute. female vocals layered over the top - gorgeous breakdown in the middle, which one is this? Citizen 42 - Wake Up? awesome regardless.

very consistent for the next three to four tracks up until in the 56th minute a track hit that's totally up my alley. a drivey bassline and clipped vocals. I WANT IT.

definitely gets a bit more progressive on the end there. but not too much. definitely like vocals @ the end, gui boratto can do no wrong.

mixing was smooth, makes me wonder what the hell was so wrong that you had to go back and fix it. did it clash with the strings from the previous track?


Posted by Adam420 on Jan-05-2010 19:25:

Hi Denys,

Tune @ 35 minutes is Jay Tripwire - If I Only Knew [Conya]

Tune @ 55 minutes is Analog People in a Digital World - Vega (Ian Pooley Remix)

Thank you for the review, I appreciate the amount of detail you've put in. As for the 4th track, I do agree that it is maybe not as interesting as the other tracks and is somewhat stark in contrast, but I thought it gave the set a nice sound variation early on and ultimately, it helped me set up that Fish Go Deep track pretty nicely. And this track has a sick sub-bass as well, I think it needs to be heard on a good system to be fully appreciated.

I went ahead and re-did this because the last track I had originally used was a different one. It was very nice and initially sounded good in the mix, but listening to it afterward I was quite disappointed.

I'm glad you enjoyed this. Hope to hear that 2nd winter mix soon


Posted by denys envy on Jan-05-2010 19:51:

yeah, i regret listening on some cheap headphones @ work. going to give this a second shot in my auto on the way home. should make the basslines/details stand out a bit more.

Now I'm curious, which one was it?
