Cake on the icing right here

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Lil bit of ice cream on the side.

[-Dureagon-Phos- Procedural]

Siiiiiiick. Love the bassline. The cool delay/sped-up high hat pattern/whatever it is in the middle of the track sounded really cool.

You got a real cool texture out of just that vocal sample alone. I heard the guitar make a brief appearance, but it wasn't sticking out that much. Pretty subtle. Having someone rap on this would probably be the cake on the icing.

DJDureagon responds:

Hey man i'm glad you like it. I had to grab on to a hook and stick with it, I tried to work with the guitar more but i'm not that good yet lol. A rap would be amazing.

[Entei]

This is one hell of a flip, man. Did you take the acapella part and turn it down a few semitones? It sounds soooo clams. I wonder where the high pitched xylophone sounding thing came from. Is that the guitar cranked up a few octaves? I have no idea where the bassline came from. I don't remember leaving it exposed in my track, unless you did something tricky with the EQ or whatever. Shit's great, though. Really enjoyed it.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Yes your vocals and guitar were tuned down, just used a few licks from here and there. the first sound, xylophone thing, and harp were other secret samples. The bassline was me, with a vst instrument.

thanks for listening and for the material!

[Body Instrumental]

Really really like that snare. The smooth guitar contrasts really well with the heavy drums. Hat pattern is also pretty cool. I dig it.

Vashelite responds:

Thank you - VashELite

[Halo]

I love the bassline. This beat is so Dilla, all it would need to go on Donuts is some turntable scratching a "let's go" vocal sample and a Mantronix King of the Beats siren

Super head nodder

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thank you! and thank the sample, for providing the baseline for the bassline.

[Wah Not]

The drums fit really well with the chops. Interesting harmonies going on. It's got a chill yet sorta tense mood to it.

I just wish the bassline stuck out a little more.

Trippy track!

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks. Yes I could have done more with the bassline you're right.

[-GM- Norstar]

I really really like this beat. The samples mesh really well. I only wish the snare had a bit more pop to it. The piano sounds amaaaaazing. Horns fit real well. Drum pattern's solid. Gooood shit, man

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Preesh bra, glad you like it. I did have trouble with the snare.

[BLIND BOY]

The pitch-bending on the synth in the 2nd half of the track sounds awesome, really striking.

I dig the sound of the synth in general.

The drum pattern has this cool POP noise (like a crack or snare with a ton of reverb, panned to the left a bit) that sounds awesome.

Normally when I mention reverb in my reviews of your beats, I tend to say you sometimes use a tad too much reverb, but here I think it's the opposite. That snare could really use just a smidge more. It sounds very dry, and the beat is a little more minimal than other beats I heard from you, so I think putting some reverb on there would help the drums take up a bit more space in the mix.

Or add more crazy synths. Go full James Murphy in there, man!

I diiiiig this track though. Sounds realllllly cool!

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

It's true. I've been so tame lately because I want to get the mixing right. I forget about the rawness of the song. i seem to flit between using too much reverb and using none at all. Hopefully I'll find that middle ground.

Thanks for your words. I need to go full James Murphy on my beats. That's the kind of influence i need :)

Cheers phospho

at 0:25 I was like OHHHHHHHHH SHIT

those drums

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

thx bruvvvv ^_^

[sermon beat 14]

Daaaaamn. As far as RTJ goes, you got the drum programming and choice of drum sounds down PAT. Sounds just like 'em.

For the rest, I wouldn't know how you'd approximate that apocalyptic El-P vibe. He has oodles of synths, which results in really sharp, colorful sounds that contrast with each other in really cool ways. Here, the beat was kinda stripped down to a minimalistic 'what can I do with this vocal sample' which is cool. You got quite a bit of mileage out of it. I'd maybe add some more stuff in there. Crazy melodies and whatnot. Loud high pitched g-funk synth whines, distorted bass, maybe some adlibs or one-off samples or something, idk...

But yeah, great work with this track man!

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

Thanks phospho ^_^ sorry i didn't reply soon enough. needs some melodies sure, and extra bits :)

thanks bro
