The Bro Tunes

*jots it down*

Did anyone listen to the latest tune I uploaded? Thoughts welcome. :D

i did - i liked the groove and think this could be devloped into something alright however as usual with me, i think it all sounds too dry and there's not enough changes etc. personally i would like to see some effects added to give some dynamics and movement and also hear you change up the general theme once or twice.

New uplfiting deep house track I'm working on. Let me know what you think. Safe!! https://soundcloud.com/thebro/sweetheart-demo

Good and basic stuff but needs vocals. Sounds a bit too clean for my tastes. You need to have some grit and dirt here.

I may be working with a vocalist soon so might test her vocals on this tune. Thanks for listening. :-)

Sweetheart is alright, but I don't like how all the synths and stuff seem to be hiding behind the drums. it's good to finally hear some low end in your stuff though.

What's with all the demos though? It's kinda hard to comment on your stuff when all you ever seem to post is demos. It's not like you don't receive comments so it'd be nice to see the result(s) of all this feedback. Are you saving it all for an album or something?

Probably kind of a useless comment, but it's hard to say anything about all these demos.

Well the thing is I appreciate the comments I get and take it all onboard. The reason a lot of my stuff are like 2 minute demos is because I get the initial idea of a tune but don't know how to expand or complete them. It's something I'm working on at improving.

New demo dark house ting with the Volca Bass, Roland JV1080, samples etc. Enjoy.

Groovy cowbell magick, wish you lube some of those sounds up with reverb, painfully dry :-) , but maybe that is the point, nice work.

the stabs at the end "could" play just one note or two notes, instead of going up n down. but i make despicable melodies so dont listen to me too much.

Your latest track seems like your on the right course. Just out of interest what were you using the 1080 for? I've got one and I never seem to do anything with it.

Hello mate I used the JV1080 for the pads.

I like the fun trippy megalomaniac vibe of the melody/bassline

Thanks hoggy!

New tune I started working on in an oldskool jungle vibe. Have a listen and I hope you enjoy. :D

I am really enjoying this! Comes together nicely when that additional melody starts floating and phasing around. Liking the drum n' bass/jungle vibes and am glad not hear ragga vox.

A common critique of your work seems to be that you should focus more on manipulating the sounds to a more bespoke form unique to yourself and, while I'd generally agree with that critique, the lack of it coupled with your approach to arrangement/aesthetic choices does serve to make your work recognizable in spite of the lack of endless VST tweaks and granular synthesis.

Some old jungle funk demo. Enjoy!

Promo, is that you singing "feel the funk inside your arsehole?"

Ha ha yes. :D Its an old track at least 5 years I reckon.

New Detroit style house/techno track from me. Hope you enjoy and let me know your thoughts!! Safe.

Great music as usual Bro.

Thanks dude! !

g's piano is a funky little number, kinda like ceephax meets uziq with that lofi groove going on, the glassy epianos are nice and the slight rhythm offset (timing irregularities) give the track a cool human feel, very 90s!

Thanks let me know what you think of my most recent one!! :D

Anyone else feeling that last track I posted - will give you feedback too if you give me some. Cheers.
