I love the bass line, that 70s groove, and the simple hook. This has &#8211; as the youngsters say &#8211; an old-stool vibe. I don&#8217;t have the time to collaborate with others these days but, if I did, I&#8217;d wanna work on this tune. If I have it here on Broadjam check out my first stab at &#8220;Trance&#8221;-type genre called Helixism. <\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>I think this could be a 5\/5 with some work. There&#8217;s not enough material for the length. But that hook could provide endless material. Try doubling the speed\/halving the note values, maybe alter the pitches, and use that as a counterpoint for development. The low end doesn&#8217;t sound right because the bass line is so legato. Add some rests, alter the synths amp envelope with less decay\/release, etc. to make the notes more distinct. Sidechain the kick to the bass so it lowers the bass volume while it&#8217;s playing. Try raising the bassline up a couple octaves to make an additional part to add and possibly transpose it more to make it a diatonic harmony part. Do your harmonic changes (:55) more quickly. I I IV I over 8 bars. Or even 4 bars. The solo drums during the break won&#8217;t cut it. Use a real fill or breakbeat or percussion loop. In\/Build\/Break\/Bring It\/Mix Out. Bring a new element in (at least) every 16 bars during the build.     <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Signal 30Song: Roll With ItReviewer: Spitting Lama MIDIPositive Comments: This reminds me of ME circa the mid-90s.
