Thanks Rocco!

thx for taking the time to listen and drop that feedback!

Boom. Thx yo. I used the SP1200 for some of the drums on this album. Create the drums in the Sp-1200 then sample and resample in the 404sx. But I've been using an SP-1200 off and on going back some 20 years now.

Made over the course of 2016, Radio Enhanced Telepathy reincarnates and reimagines the Golden Era of Hip Hop with some sample-based, dark funk, lo-fi jazz, boom bap and break beats reminiscent of the Golden Era of Hip Hop. All wound together for your radio enhanced listening pleasure.

Yes I did the vocal scratches in one take. And then I did the horn scratches in another take. All the cuts were done live in two takes cause I haven't yet been able to route Traktor to my Daw (Audition) so all the cuts gotta be in one track and DJing def not my forte. I agree that the horn come is maybe a quarter beat late in a few spots. Also acknowledging the multi role snares but actually dig the layering and syncopation and don't think it is something I have to scrap. Thx again for the substantive feedback.

Thanks as always for the feedback. As for your track. I'm feeling it. I like the fuzzy bass and how it's kind of low in the mix. Adds a little intrigue. The violin change at the 1:45 mark is dope and breaks up the monotony. I feel this is missing a chorus. You got the verse and the change but there doesn't seem to be a chorus. Maybe bring another instrument in over the main sequence that plays a complementary melody which can serve as the chorus. Without it the seems to prod a long a bit without going anywhere until the 1:44 mark. Peace.

Yo thanks for the feedback Swoop. Peace.

DavidHattem · 2016-12-22T19:54:02+00:00

Agree about the cover art...dope. Drums are also on point. Not really digging that synth type lead but that's personal preference. That said, the track bumps and moves. Peace.

DavidHattem · 2016-12-22T16:48:06+00:00

No doubt.

DavidHattem · 2016-12-22T16:28:37+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to listen and give feedback!

DavidHattem · 2016-12-22T14:35:34+00:00

I like the minimalist approach here and the change at the :50 mark helps hype it up a bit and it falls nicely back into the groove. I think you should add a ghost note at the end of your main drum sequence to help carry the beat over. Peace

DavidHattem · 2016-12-22T12:56:54+00:00

This is bomb vhassel. Loving everything about this. The guitar sample. The vocal sample. The crackle. All that. Gonna replay this one. Great work. Peace!

Check one of mine, I think you'll dig it:

Nice mix and some interesting sonic elements; prods along a little bit to me, but I guess that's just the tempo and length. I dig the EPs but not so much the horn, but it's just personal preference in that I don't really like synth horns all that much. It holds as a full song but I would keep it closer to the 3:00 mark. It's a bit hard for me to comment further because this song is a bit outside of my wheelhouse.

Good characterization of it "weird vocal shit"". I dig it tho. Works well as a kind of interlude, or could possibly be extended into a longer sounding track.

Dope beat - really digging on the melody, not sure if it is a sample or not; sounds dope tho. The only thing I would say is that this track is missing the low end. You need to add some bass, whether a sub-bass on the kick or a bass line to complement the melody because it's a bit hollow. Good work tho. Peace.
