[DKC Celebration]

this was beautiful. i love the Caribbean style sound, so pretty much anything like that is just...win. this is something i could relax to, have a drink, and fall asleep still hearing it in my mind. great job.

i thought it was kinda draggy, for the most part. it stayed pretty much the same throughout the entire song, and was pretty slow. the sounds were decent though, it definitely matched the title. i was picturing something like an ice cave or something like that. needs some variation, and in my opinion, a little faster tempo, and you'd have a great song here. good work anyway.

OpenLight responds:

Thanks. It wasn't really meant to be an upbeat trance song, so I guess it's a good thing that it felt slow. I guess I could always speed up the tempo, but I feel that would give the wrong mood, or at least a different mood than what I intended.

EDIT: I actually tried speeding it up and it didn't sound good at all, but I think I know what you meant about dragging on. The thing is, this is slow trance, so it 'dragging on' would actually be appropriate for this kind of song.

As for variation... I added some in the song. Most songs have much less, so if you could specify what you mean, it'd be appreciated. Thanks! I really do appreciate your review!

your best track

i can't believe i haven't reviewed this yet. this is probably my favorite of your tracks, i'm really loving that sax. you say it's a popular instrument in Haiti. can you recommend some Haitian saxophone musicians/bands/songs? i'd love to check it out. great work on this track, you're the one that got me into DnB music.

[SH - You In My Life]

nice

i never knew it was possible to sample House music into a hip hop beat without it sounding terrible. good work. this is really relaxing, chilled me right out.
5/5
10/10
by the way, would you mind checking out my new song "Light it Up" and tell me what you think? that would be awesome, and if you ever need a review, just drop me a PM.

[SH - The Fool]

i recognized the sample!!

i always loved that song, so since you sampled it you get an immediate 10. i've never heard it sampled into hip hop before, so additional points for originality.

[Boston]

love this

15 votes, 111 listens, 4 downloads, but no reviews? seriously? i loved the lyrics in this. really meaningful. the beat was awesome as well. could either be happy or sad, depending on your perception. great work.

[FmLATE]

only 8 minutes??

sounds pretty good. should turn the main synth's volume down a bit, in my opinion. it was almost painful at times. but the melody was really good, that's not what i'm complaining about. just drop the volume slightly. good work.

BlowinMoneyENT responds:

Lol i agree. i think their was a problem with the upload.

[Anthem type]

what's wrong with the sample?

didn't notice anything wrong with your chopping..maybe i just don't have a good ear. i thought this was pretty well done, myself. drums were a bit generic, but the melody was good, and the choir was badass. this beat just got you onto my favorite artists list. good work. 10/10, 5/5, fav'd.

BlowinMoneyENT responds:

I tried to make like a gated arp with it. it didnt turn out soo well tho. i should prolly goo back on it tho. i apreciate the fav. stay up man

[Too Far Apart]

awesome

bad ass melody. didn't really see anything wrong with the drums patterns, but i guess that's an opinion-based thing. good work.

BlowinMoneyENT responds:

Thanks man, this is one of my first beats back in like 08. lol glad you like.
