The Vagrance

Please tell me this is coming out this month. I'm getting withdrawals from not getting anything posted on this site.

I remember seeing your stuff a while back and I've got to say you've gotten way better, this is pretty ill.

http://flimusic.bandcamp.com/album/college-beats-vol-3 Its been a while since I've been VGReMixing, and this is primarily why: rap production! Hopefully any rap heads on the forum dig it, and expect more rap ReMixes on this site in 2012.

I like the feel of the piece, especially once it hits that strings breakdown, then its really grooving, but the main section sounds really cluttered. You've got a really busy kick, bassline, all of these scratching sfx sounds, sax/key leads, etc.. In contrast the string section has a really strong groove to it, I can't help but bob my head when it gets to that. Some general things you can do to improve this remix: 1. Tone down the main section, find a consistent groove that all of your rhythm section can sit in and let only elements you want to really emphasize go nuts. 2. Doing some basic EQing/levels on all of these tracks will help the mix gel better. 3. Consider low-passing the bass. Like Monobrow suggested, hit that range where it gives your bass some funk.

I'm pumped, Z3ta+ was the shit in its heyday, really digital sounding but in such a way that it was ideal for some sounds.

Actually its Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.

http://flimusic.bandcamp.com/album/college-beats-vol-1 This is a beat tape of various beats I've made, with some acapellas over most of the tracks (and a couple of features I was able to get as well). Hopefully all of the hip-hop OCR cats will enjoy.

Thank you. The EP will sound much more like Guns//Dope (which will also be on it for that matter) but the other tracks are definitely more mellow and dubby, so happy compromises I guess. Its also worth mentioning the high distorted glitchy synth during the second drop is a really timestreched Snappleman Sonic 3 remix sample. I can't remember which one but I felt it was relevant given the forum.

http://soundcloud.com/fli/lolmix Kind of a mish-mash of stuff, made because someone requested I DJ a party but I haven't really been practicing so I computer-mixed this instead.

Conservative, yes, but Danny does conservative so damn well. With the original being so good it would've been tricky to make a mix sound this good without either being conservative, or straying far away from the original theme. Digging this a lot, nice job!
