[Hurikane - Storm]

you might have wanted to changed the velocity on those first off set toms to make them sound uniform.
it would have only increased the potential for this song and made it a little more naturally flowing at the beginning. other wise, good job, not much else i can critique. good job!

[Lollerskates]

i could see this fitting in house, that'd be pretty sweet.
i really like the track man. im thinking for that bass in the beginning, you could have chosen one with a bit less pop on the attack, and maybe delay that (almost like a sidechained bass, but not quite)
but thats it.
it needs a little more going on behind the scenes, but that's it. otherwise, good job man!

[In From The Rain Part 1]

theres like...way too much going on man.
you need some direction with your piece. make it simple, thats what makes it catchy.
house is really straightforward, and this isn't straightforward at all. this definitely belongs in misc. electronic.
and the chord progression seemed pretty...off to me...
just, work on your gusto a little more. it's like you just tried a little to hard to get a house song, and then everything ended up crashing and burning. and ps, you cant just use a beat grind effect (i.e. gross beat) and expect it to do great things to your song. everything has to connect, and that really took away some of the connectivity of your piece.

anyhow, im just giving you all of this advice to better yourself for future tracks :)

[An Escapist's Fantasy]

I hate being one of those jerks that say "This isn't house" and act like I know everything about music, because i see where you're going with that whole "house" feel, but i feel like this almost fits a little bit better with techno or possibly some other category.
Anyhow, i liked it. I just feel its starts with something that doesn't transition well to the "house" part of the song, which makes me feel, again, that it could probably be placed in a better category that better suits the song.
anyhow, great work man :)

DjTrailblazer responds:

Thanks. but I'll have to disagree it's definitely house.

[Klubb Spår]

i really like your work with mastering, man!
i really do! its just that it's way to repetitive. the lead synths get a little annoying, and that underlying bass gargling bass got pretty annoying as well. you've gotta get some variation, that would be my only critique. otherwise, your mastering skills are there to make a pretty solid piece.

SonOfFlynn responds:

i know d: i gotta add more. i did this in like 30 min. i was intending to add some lead in it. right now its all rhythm

[I'm Gonna Make It (RE)]

the sampling was a little off, and the filter automation was a little too choppy. keep working at it, i know you've got potential :)
you've gotta be super precise when it comes to sampling. ik this was ur first time, so just keep working on it.
one thought tho... just because its house, doesnt mean it needs to be the same measure over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
just check out my latest house submission. its got variation and everything.
you'll learn more as you work with music, and i can tell you've got a little something, so keep goin for it.

[DTS - Midnight Reflection]

wow! i really like this! it's got its own taste of d&b. it's extremely unique.
i had a little skepticism when the track started, but as soon as those drums came in, i was like, wow, the drum is sync'd up with the instruments a little differently then other tracks. i like.
2 things.
you might not have wanted to end the track as hard as you did. a simple cut off or fade out would have sufficed for this track. just ride the bass notes out or something.
and it got kinda repetitive, but thats just something that may happen. work on like a verse to chorus thing, cuz u already had a bridge planned nicely.
good job!
10/10 5/5

DetiousMusic responds:

I do think I ended it too abruptly, I'll go change that. I ran out of options when I wanted to progress the song, so I got kind of lazy and just repeated the beginning, but thanks a lot man! :D

[More Clouds And Stufff]

me gusta mucho.
i wish i had the skill to make simple stuff like this thats really catchy. always make my stuff to complex.
5/5 9/10

DetiousMusic responds:

I'm not as skilled as one may think, I'm pretty amateur. d:
Well if you'd ever want to collab we could get a simple/complex piece goin. O:
Thanks!
