More nice voice samples!
Love the piano.
Nice stutter.
Sweet!
This is just overall good. I don't know what else to say.
It was an accident! I swear!
Everything from this point on is BEGGING to be resampled.
You have some good sounds in here. It would be fun to cut this track up and re-arrange it.
Oh yah! Nice, nice build! Love it!
Mmmmmm. Some square 4's for the syncopation to clash against. Nicely timed!
More great stereo sounds.
Stereo bass all through here is great.
NIce backward bits.
Nice build!
Oh yeah!
I can't say whether or not hip hop is your thing but I certainly wouldn't draw any conclusions from this piece. I would call this industrial long before I would call it hip hop, not that labels matter that much. Looked at as industrial, or some other non-soul/R&B-derived genre, I think this can totally work.
It starts to feel disjointed then this beat returns and pulls it all back together. Nice!
I'm a big proponent of more distortion, but I think this version hangs together better.
You've got some great sounds in here and I like the spoken word samples. In the "more flavour" department, I would probably cut up the spoken word samples, perhaps rearranging them rhythmically...perhaps starting after the second breakdown, after the listener has gotten used to the tone of them.
But that's just me.
Who knew a bicycle bell could be funky? Cool!
At first glance it seems to just be good electronic pop but there is more to it. I like it. I like the video too.
Nicely done dynamic change. The drop feels good at that point.
This is cool. It flows. It screeches. It's just cool!
Cool voice.
Nice busy kick!
Cool bass sound.
Flute is a nice touch!
Again with the filter, but done differently. Very nice!
That is cool!
Nice ending too. It resolves in a satisfying way.
@DJ Dual Core: The tension and density both pick up. I like it!
It really takes off right here!
@DMITRYX: Thanks! Programming the piano was work (I can't play keys ANYTHING like that)...sounds like it was worth it!
Nice busy drums.
Nicely cut up.
Nice stutters.
Heavy. Love it.
This is really good! It's better than Dub Trio's digital metal stuff. This is more like Drum Corpse. Excellent!
These drums are great too!
Love the drum sounds.
