The Bro - 3rd Phase

Going back to my routes / original passion for funk and early electro/boogie. This ain't quite on that tip but yeah man just got that love for the funk. Let us know what you thinks. Nize. ;-)

dude honestly i fucking love it

clicked your soundcloud while scanning through the hipster thread and put it on,

liked it so much i had to seek out this thread

You see Bro, when you post in the appropriate forum everyone is nicer. What I think that it's too long, it's hard to fully listen to it and the transitions between different parts are too straight forward. It gets boring after a while when everything happens as you expect. This sounds unfinished imo, you should finish it.

Thanks guys .... comments appreciated. Yeah I may go back and have a further play with it. Thanks again. ;-)

Yeah mate those are very good suggestions I'll work of them when I get home tonight!

@start: nice disco vibe. i like the inflate intro

@0:09: good bassline, but i feel the envelope would benefit from some manipulation. mash the release up here and there, so a note drags on dramatically. do a live recording until it sounds right, as opposed to programming it.

@2:52: this should have started 2 minutes ago!! nice 'n' sonic the hedgehog. maybe build it up further by dropping some breaks on top?

overall: better than saxstep

this is really nice

 

main suggestion would be to play with the drums a bit more? a few more little fills or bringing things in and out? there are lots of little variations (like the backwards clap) but just something a bit more dynamic? like bringing in another hi-hat line or a reinforcing new parts with different drum sounds?

 

like around 0:49 would be a great part to add a heavier kick and snare under that new little melody. and maybe taking out everything but one percussion element (just the kick maybe?) at 1:46 woould make that new part stand out even more.

 

i would've liked to have seen the break at 2:25 go on a bit longer and build more to the new choiry pad part... maybe even just something dubbing out the claps a bit or kind of riding some feedback on them and then BAM into that new part? i definitely appreciate the minimal kind of structure to it otherwise but i think just a bit more rhythmic spice would liven the whole thing up a bit. i think the transitions would seem a little less leaden that way too.

 

really like it though... nice one

good critique. i agree. nice track, maybe 90% finished.
