Artist Comment:
My first storyteller release... this is quite an techhouse experiment for myself... something totally different and maybe even a bit lo-fi, but that's done on purpose..
an interesting piece for the house freaks in here :)

Wow, I'm finding this freakin' enjoyable! I loved the classic house beat you started the song off with - gave it an attracting feeling! As you build the song up, you don't make it too dramatic but rather keep it calm and moody! As you add samples, I am enjoying all of them! In fact, this sounds a lot of what Perry O'Neil would create. I am a big fan of his Progressive Trance tunes! As the song goes on, I don't hear much that happens but I am happy with that! The fact that you kept it simple and didn't throw in a big loud and party-like atmosphere, I finding this fun to relax and listen to! As you break the song down, I like your choice of existing samples! Great job! That was six minutes gone by fast! :D

yo hi there again  ;] kinda got hooked on your music  ;] ]

intro begins with nude bass drum kicking. i think it is not right to leave the bass drum so lonely  ;] u should have started tune with the whole percussion u will use later.  ;] i hope u understand me. later everything is going well..

i want to say, that it reminds me luke chable vs.. somebody - ride. what is very goddd. i like the break in the middle of the tune. kinda relaxing stuff.

godd enough drumwork, bassline could be more interesting. godd structure. missed some fx. nice quality.

An Interesting piece for house music freaks indeed , what a warm chilly track ! :)

You know how to make tracks interesting , even when the beat or melody .. or both are not that special , and don't take that the wrong way , they are good in this track.

I could listen to this many times , esspecially in the background and after a day of work or whatever makes you tired ... this is perfect song to listen too when you wanna chill out .. :yes:

At 3:27 you add some more notes , this is a small variation but it just works to make it more interesting.

You belong at the top house producers at CTG :up:

:) that's the second track i've downloaded and i'm so well surprised! that's a really sweet track! actually it reminds me a lovely track i've heard from a sander kleinenberg's set---who is one of my favourites! i think u do have skills friend! i 'm giving u 8 because i think on 2:11 u could put some more melody with some keys i guess, it would be much better, because your basic melody is fine but could be richer with some keys, it's so very the same==it's not bad though , all i say is that u would ''break the wall'' if your melody was richer with some keys, u know could be more tripy!
greetingz,

Nice ambience work in this track. Soft & quiet happy track, works very well as backgroundmusic for me at the moment.

I really enjoy the chooise of instruments/samples used. The electronic cowbell does it jobb nicely, monoton all the way. Simple but fullfilling beat work, it dosnt have to be that "special" all the time, as this track shows.

And yes, it might seem a bit lo-fi, but as you say itīs done on purpose, and well, that works to :)

Even though itīs a repetetive track, it never get boring, and this is the way monoton music should be done. Repetetive in a way that you can listen to it on & on for ages, untill you really dont know whats the end or start of it. Talking about ending, on this track itīs feels a little bit empty. A more interesting ending, or even a fadeout would have been better imho. There seem to maybe be abit of lack of bass in the track, but i myself always overdo the bass, so you shouldnt maybe listen to me on that part :p

Theres alot of that cowbell in the track...
Still works though. And theres one pad used in the track wich really gets to me, comes in around 2:30 somewhere. Kinda sounds like a electronic "aahh". Very nice indeed.

Not a very "speciall" track, in melodys, rythem or beat. But that is not the intention here i suppose. Creativety & skills might be higher in other tracks, but its the feeling & atmosphere around this track that makes it good. A + for the timelenght of track, always enjoy when someone makes a long track without being afraid of getting it called "to repetetive". Cuīs it aint. Itīs well enough to get to learn the track, & enjoy it.
As backgroundmusic, this is very nice indeed.
