Sun_CK - "I Know Something"
props:
+dont think i've done a review of ya before, so i was taken back by the sound of this one!
+now this, is the kinda track i need to get my morning grooving haha
+knew from the beginning that this was gonna be super crunk, i love that about songs like this... love how the beat gives that intro synth so much swagga
+bringing the heat with synth variation and some tasty programming and effects
+dont usually do this, but im adding it to my DJ tracks collection for sure
+(0:55-0:56) love that.
+you really have a hand at melody!!! havent heard that kinda melodic talent since Genesis/SNES midi programmers (seriously, those guys are legend)
+clever ending, i didnt even hear that in the mix til you solo'd it!!
advice:
-main bass synth is super crackly in the lower octaves... sounds great in the mix, but maybe some stronger EQing or lower the crackle/resonance in the beginning where it stands alone... i really got used to it and enjoyed it by the end, only saying that because it was the only thing stopping me from getting 100% into the song
-sub bass? you dont want to sound 8bit with crunkness like that...!
overall:
=jump up!!! you've got a musical mind, which i appreciate and respect. this song was a pleasure to listen to, even the fourth time through. really i would just phatten up the low end before this hits the club (maybe even with some (...gasp.. cant believe im really saying this..) 808 bass in there, so you can really rattle some faces off...
