  1. ktjg <<<< [WIP-1 with DUMMY VOCALS]

    In the interest of those looking for an idea of what the vocals will be like, I've knocked up a version with some dummy vocals I've just recorded.

    (and again, I wanna stress, I'm looking for a vocalist for this song... someone who is comfortable with the style.)

    Lyrically it's cheese, but i really don't think deeper lyrics would really sit with the overall style. So yeah, there's dummy vox in there now. They are absolutely nothing flash and very basic; it was literally a 5 min job. I've repeated the first verse for the second verse at the moment, as I haven't written the second verse yet.

    Lyrics are as follows:

    VERSE 1:

    Turn around

    I have never seen you before,

    But I'd like to get to know you some more.

    You're straight out of a fantasy

    I can feel the heat between us

    (you're the one that I see right now)

    let me tell you something

    Move a little bit closer and just

    rock with me oh yeah

    (you're the one that I need right now)

    this time I know it's for real.

    Together we can blow this night away.

    CHORUS:

    I've got my head in the clouds

    I'm jumping around

    You're love's got me tumbling upside down.

    Nobody can do, the things that you do

    I've made the change

    And it all comes back to you .

  2. i swore within the first few seconds i swore i was going to hear this:

    *INSERT RICK ASTLEY*

    i think i felt that because of the synth toms and the synth brass, which do sound very similar, not a bad thing just totally made me laugh. i half expected to hear, "we're no strangers to love" come in.

    Yeah, Stock, Aiken Waterman produced him ... That's the style I'm trying to nail hahaha! So, I guess that's mission accomplished then :D :D :D

  3. Well, this isn't gonna be useful, just encouraging. I don't have any production issues to rant about, and as for repetition, the lyrics will likely take care of all that. You've hit spot on my idea of disco. Source is used enough, and while a similar genre, there's enough new stuff (not to mention the lyrics soon to come) that go beyond. Rock on! I mean, disco forever! Or whatever's appropriate.

    I might spot something in how the lyrics mesh with the rest, but for now, I've got nothing to say. Great job on production, hilarious choice of genre, arrangement is great.

    Thanks man :D :D :D

    Disco has a very special place in my heart haha... especially this style! Thanks for your comments man... much appreciated! :D

  4. Hiya Peoples!!!

    obfg <<< WIP 4 (4/7/08)

    http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/n64/wvpoints.mid <<<<<<< SOURCE TUNE

    *I'm looking for a vocalist for this one... someone who feels comfortable with the disco style... gender doesn't matter. Must have access to decent voice recording equipment :D

    This is something I started working on today.... It's a remix of the tunes that play when you finish a race ... there are 4 variations of the one musical motif for each place... I plan to incorporate all 4 into this remix eventually.

    It's in a style that is close to my heart... it's very Italo-Disco, via the brits, circa 1987-ish. My favourite pop music machine, the british Stock Aiken and Waterman pioneered this take on the Euro-disco music scene, and I've always loved it cheesiness and driving mid-tempo rhythms.

    Anyway, so here's my first WIP !!!

    I'm still in the process of writing lyrics, but I can say they will be pretty cheesy and generic :D .. The synth that comes in at 1:06 in the chorus is playing the lead melody I'd like for the vocal, just for a rough idea.

    It's a bit repetitive at the moment, but one there's vocals in there, it'll sound way better. Not to mention when I incorporate the other themes into it. The intro sucks and is very basic... this *WILL* change. It's Intro-Chorus-Verse1-Chorus-Verse2-Chorus-Perc Sect

    at the moment. Not the final order, so things will change.. As I said, I only started on this today.

    Enjoy, and I hope to hear from any potential collaborators soon!!!

    -Robbie.

  5. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!! I have a major weakness for anything like this. All the clicks and pops & glitching really get me in a real good way... reminds me of Trentemoller & Imogen Heap.

    The arrangement is pretty light... but the source was never really that complex in the first place. However, the place to where you've taken the source really fits. No only does it sound fantastic, thematically it just sounds right. It sounds like NiGHTS, yet it's somehow different. The dream-like quality is amazing... this is going straight into my chill playlists :D

    I've got no complaints at all. Production wise this is hella-tight and everything sounds as it should.

    Awesome man... really, really liking this.

  6. vmjq <<< UPDATED VER. 3 !!!

    Well here's WIP 3!!!

    The focus of this revision to clean it up a bit. You'll now notice the higher registers are there, which were severely lacking in the previous WIP's. FIXED! :-P

    Also added a vocoder behind all vocals to emphasise the parts and round it all out, as I don't have the strongest voice in the world.

    Still wanna add stuff... anything that sounds empty, I will probably fix in the next couple of days :-P

  7. vmbi <<<<< WIP 9-ish~!!!

    ^^ MINI UPDATE ^^ SEE PAGE 3 FOR CHANGES :D

    EDIT: I suppose I should mention that this is a remix of Speed Highway - At Dawn from Sonic Adventure.

    Okies, so this is a new version of an oldie... well 2 oldies actually. I started this remix years ago and actually wrote lyrics, but never got around to recording them.

    Then I started a re-remix, and never got too far into it, but I did record the lyrics and miscellaneous versions of that WIP still exist on the interwebs.

    Now I've come back to the track with what really feels like the culmination of all those other versions.

    Still a WIP at the mo (duh), but this is the result of a couple of days work, so a finished version of the track could turn up real soon :-P Might re-record the verses during the week, and still many things to add.

    Lemme know what you think... cheers :-P

    -Robbie.

  8. Heeeey!

    ZOMG!!! SONIC R!!! Richard Jacques + TJ Davis x awesome 90's dancingesssszz = Sonic R OST!!!

    AkumajoBelmont feat. Stephanie - Work It (EuroHouse 'LoVE LOvE' Mixx)

    http://www.zshare.net/audio/26249372faba04/

    Long time no speak/mix/WIP ppls :D

    This is my take of 'Work It Out', the BGM for Radical City. It's gonna be pure Euro-housey dancey stuff. My cousin Stephanie has provided the vocals this time around

    It's pretty basic at the moment, with only the most essential elements in there. Most of the vocals are in, there's not too much variation in the beat, many synths and pads missing, whole melodies not there, and the vocals for the key change are not there yet. The arrangement aspects are also a little low at the moment.

    But it's a start

    In other news, I should explain my absence. Work and life has sadly taken over most of my time. Less time equals less music. Plus I've spent the last year and a half trying to brush up on my actual mixing and mastering skills. So, yeah, thats out of the way :D

    Sooooo leave some feedback if you like the mix. As I'm quite busy these days, I don't know when the next update will be. But it shouldn't be too long away.

    Forgive the bare bones nature of the WIP, and lemme know what you think!

    Cheers guys and gals...

    -Robbie.

  9. I entered a compo to win tickets, but as I havnt heard any reply, I'm assuming I lost. I know Rouge is going though...

    Sweet, glad we got you confirmed dude!! I'l crash you out in the grand prix game again :P

    Ahhh! THAT Daytona match... man, I was soooooooooo coming first!!!

  10. ... I will be coming!!! Put me down for a couple DS's and games (i'll get back to you with what one's I'm bringing). Maaaaybe I could bring my DC and a few games, if I've got a bag big enough to carry that much shite (and a back strong enough :D). I'll bring a whole batch of VDV's (yeah. that's right) full o' spesh musical delights if I can be bothered creating some :D

    Oh, and on a related note,

    is anyone going to PLAY! ??? I'm going on Fri 22nd June. If any of ya'll are going, lemme know!

    Peas Out!
