Just a dj and producer living in Delaware, interested in electronic music.
Here you'll find drum and bass, chill out and maybe even a little hip hop as I keep working on refining my sound. I may even put up a mix or two in the future.

A section where only the bass is playing would be interesting. I have to type 140 words?!, the really high piano parts are nice. The song has a feeling that makes me think of sitting on a patio with blue sky beside ocean. The very last sound in this song feels like everything was just taken away, the echoes are my mind scrambling to hold on to what I believe.
This is wonderful. The choice of sounds and instruments is spot on. The subtleties are great and make a nice whole. I especially liked when the mid bass stabs and new percussion come in. This is followed by a section that somehow seems to grow in intensity by remaining constant. I was ready to call out the length and structure but then on another listen is actually has a measured hypnotic quality ... More that the repetition and length really push. This track really pulls you along.
The production isn't perfect yet, but it is getting there. The nice verby snare could be more prominent and the perc needs a bit of eq to fit in better. Also the mid bass stabs could have a going over to make them extra special sounding (some interesting distos and maybe some notch filtering and eq work). Some light delay and or reverb on them would be cool too. I like the low rumble bass but the sub could be boosted slightly with some of the low mid balanced just slightly. Everything else is fantastic sound wise.
Another pass at the mix down and this could be a classic.
Thanks for listening, I appreciate the review. I\'m really glad you picked up on the hypnotic moody vibe of the tune too, though I\'m still thinking parts are a bit too long.
Seems like I\'m just not hitting those snares for you! I\'m taking this advice into my next tracks, so watch this space.
nice intro, love the warm pads, the build is sweet, drops in nicely
I feel like that dirty stab that comes in culd be glued into the mix a bit better, it sounds fine once the pads start coming back again, but the first couple stand out a little bit to much
love the break, i dont think it could be switched up some more to keep things moving, 2nd half needs something new aswell i think
I'd like to ... More have heard more going on in your breakdown, rather than just repeating the intro build, some big sounds in there to set it all off would have been nice, that nice stab u got for eg.
great production mostly, perhaps a tiny bit dull in the low-mid area, feels a bit flat in that area
really like that reversed bit of editing in the outro, that culd be have been good in a drop in the 2nd half
