Kelly B - Heavy Isotope Tranquility [Electronic who knows]

[KellyB]

This is one my newest creations done mostly with ImageLine's Harmor Symth and some Prime Loop samples. What do you think?

Interesting stuff Y_(^o^)_Y
in the intro the drums drown abit in the heavy synths. maybe use more sidechaining? or add more click to the drums? maybe high pass that bass more? and make the drums abit louder of course. Song is abit random but cudos on making something original

I absolutely love this. The intro could use some work; the hats add a nice touch, but for the most part, the intro is rather low and subdued. Making the kicks higher or clickier would give them much more presence.
I would say the genre is EBM, or even Futurepop (VNV Nation? No one's heard of it?), at least in the intro, mostly b/c of the drums. I love the arpeggiated part that comes later. Great use of SFX. Really, vibraphone? It's great, but lacks structure in some parts. The drums could definitely use more presence, though. The bass is wonderful, reminds me of Covenant (more futurepop?).
Great work!!!!!1!!

Some side chaining of the bass might just do the trick, I will also try a few different kicks to see if sounds better.

Some great feedback, thanks for taking the time to listen andd give some constructive feedback.

Funny I have never heard of Electronic body music before today. It is amazing how many genres there are today.

Thanks for the review, your insight will not go wasted. MrNiceguy mention the kick drums as well so perhaps I will put a lot of focus on them for the mix.
