I think then you really need to work on something that is going to stand out uniquely, other than the minimalism. You'll need that signature sound, or your own effect, or something. Us producers can recognize and comprehend what you're doing and appreciate it, but you still will need to capture part of the audience out there, showing them...why you, without the stuff that their probably used to looking for!

Originally posted by Raphie thnx, the width i am not so sure if i want to increase that, i seem to be falling more and more for organic sounds and, really getting annoyed with the M/S, stereowideners and other toys, it changes the texture of certain sounds i a way seperates and eats away the density, and i am a sucker for dense thick sounds, with good texture. alsop, not everything can be in the foreground, in need to alternate a bit more, let every sound shine, but the lead sounds as it is, becuase it has space to breath. I also feel, and this might sound stupid, that i don't want to live up anymore to "trance genre expectations" uppers, downers, whooshes and washes, herretic pitched up tension builders and bombs. and all kinds of other stuff that people "expect" to be in tracks. It's all been done so many times before and when i for example listen to DJ EROS perfect mix, much better than i will ever be able to do. So I just want to go back to basics, nice evolving palletes of sounds in interesting harmonies, not too exciting, but gentle on the ear, recognized on sound quality, not neccecarily on NU SOUND production tricks, i don't want to keep up with the latest tricks and trends anymore. I've got my own label now and got my first Beatport statement last week, so no more dicksucking around and other guys messing up my releases. So i guess what i am trying to say is that i, get out of the EDM ratrace, produce what i fancy, enjoy the feedback here and on soundcloud, pave my own path and be happy, (must be a winter depression LOL )

This one for me is not nearly as compelling as your other recent work I've commented on. The mix is fair enough though.

It somehow lacks a personality stamp - in honesty it sounds like you and me noodling in a jam session in a shop.

Don't be p1ssed with me - I loved your other stuff and said you have a big career ahead, but this one for me has no guts or persona, but that may well be just a taste thing.

Love n peace

Just seems like Part A. You know music has forms right ABA ABACA.
Trance music is either Intro Bridge A Bridge B Exit or something similar to that. No definition in parts in that song.

the bridge and verse are not yet in there, still working on the vocals, this was more about the sound pallette and how everything works together. I agree arrangement wise not to exciting yet
