    Was going to save this for next week but no point cause I'm working on alot at the moment. Just dusted off this remix of Kev Brown - Work In Progress.

    Here's mine for this week. Remix of Dillon's 83 Kids ft. J57 & Blu I can't get a decent acapella so there's a bit of unwanted noise throughout. Hoping to get a clean acapella but not heard back as yet.

    Maaaan, so many beats to go through. @Rah.sool - Intimate Friendz is probably my favourite beat from you so far. Nice to hear you on that soulful tip. Nailed the vibe, the sample, the drums. Right down to the filtering. Sweet! No More Dancing is nice too! Not as smooth or to my taste but...

    Nope......IT WORKED!!!! You love to deafen with those snares man! Take your snare down 1000dB and you'll have a super dope beat. Seriously mate, this is stunning. Get out of that comfort zone more often. Love it!!!

    I normally try to avoid putting up more than 1 beat in a week but I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this one. I know the intro is a tad long but there was a spoken word part here which I have removed as it is too recognisable. I plan to replace with a more original or lesser known...

    Thanks @nikwen . Sorry I missed this feedback from the other day. Really appreciate the constructive feedback. I think you could be right about lowering them ever so slghtly but yea I doubt the laptop speakers help. I tend to listen to all of beats on headphones, then phone up loud and then in...

    Thanks Rah! Appreciate the feedback. You're bang on with the high-pass. It's something I often find myself doing. It's sort of become a signature thing as I have my presets set for most of my tracks now. @MR. MINESTATE Thanks man! Appreciate the feedback as always. Interesting you mentioned...

    *resists the urge to play Dilla beat first* Okay, So I've listened to both beats before leaving feedback... Fonky Abduction - Doesn't quite hit the mark for me this one - probably because (spoiler alert!) the Dilla beat just blew my socks off. There's an off-beat snare that comes in too early...

    Haha! I don't think that counts. I've got a whole bunch of crackle samples if anyone wants anyway. I'd recommend Kramer Tape, Sketch Cassette and Vinyl VSTs for that old analogue sound too.

    First off, thanks for the feedback on The Roots remix and special thanks for mentioning the drums as I spent a while trying to get them sound like Roots drums and generally have that Roots groove / feel. Your Monch remix is great! No wonder this inspired you to dig that one out. Really digging...

    Yep, I agree. Cool voice for vocals too! Would have liked a slightly crunchier/ grittier clap / snare as I thought it sounded more like a hi hat. But yea, nice sound particularly given that there was no samples. I'd have assumed they were!

    I thought this was going to be a "Grime" beat. Glad it wasn't! This is really nice. Perfectly executed as always. Love how you sprinkle all the different elements over the beat. Makes it really original sounding. Nice work!! Here's a remix I've (almost) finished of The Roots - Don't Say Nuthin

    Did my remix inspire you to dig this one out? :-) This is sooooooooooo nice! It's a little choppy on the sampling but you've flipped it to perfection. Be nice to hear you re-do this now. It would be much more buttery! Can you send me an mp3 of this? Love it! Thanks for sharing.

    Hey @MR. MINESTATE First beat. Head nodding. Samples and elements are well paced and it all fits together nicely. I like the filtering of the drums when the vocal bytes come in. Executed flawlessly. Dope instrumental. Hold on! there's a rogue snare/hi hat in there! it sort of tripped me up...

    Nice one @MR. MINESTATE I'll get a listen to these later on and get some feedback too. I've been trying something a little different with this one. Trying to tame a big bright sample to allow J-Live's vocals to cut through but at the same time have them compliment each other. If anyone heard...

    Do I REALLY NEED an MPC?

    @deanscott Not sure what to say really. I don't think any of them are hip hop and the way you've posted is a bit frustrating. Just looks like you've signed up and dumped your tracks in the forum. No information, background, nothing. Maybe they're not supposed to be hip hop? I don't like coming...

    Cool. I will look at perhaps changing it up then. I may have trouble with a release of that particular acapella as it stands too. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again!

    Thank you dude. Appreciate the feedback. I'm going to look at this again as that's a couple of folk mentioned the beat not matching up with the vocal but I spent a while aligning with the original beat. Perhaps I've moved it slightly when mixing down or something. Feedback very much appreciated...

    Another great beat and a nice remix. Nailed the vibe. Nice work. The only thing I'd add (which is probably a personal taste thing) is analog filtering to give the whole sound a bit of texture. It's just a little too smooth and clean...but I love it.
