Webmaster Review: Track starts with sci-fi synth sound, and a funky beat and electro bass. Pad sounds, and mysterious sounds come in to play a mellow slightly eerie introduction melody. After 30 seconds there is a break in the beat and a chime/bell jingle sound effect. Shortly after a sound effect introduces a another theme, this one is one is more traditional hip hop in feel, including record scratches,led by a funky brass/orchestral stab riff. After 56 seconds there is an occasional electronic piano playing a harmony that hints on a return of the eerie theme which theme fully returns after another break in the drums at the 1 min 20 sec mark. This time the theme is accompanied by glass/chime like sound effects and strings. At the 2.05 mark there is a variation of the earlier melody but with a new lead guitar sound and really moody bass at times. The track continues in this way, with the right mix of funkiness and atmosphere. Variation and interest is kept for approximately a further 2 minutes by changing the arrangement of instruments and the occasional use of some very well chosen strings.The final conclusion is on a string sound series of repeated guitar note sounds that seem to resolve a scale used in the track elegantly. My score for this mellow funky film-score like track is 10 out of 10. It is well structured, has good variation and interest within it, and use of effects to announce changes in the music is superb. It would be interesting to hear a less mellow, vocal version of this track, but it is excellent anyway, I certainly recommend everyone have a listen for a real treat.

Webmaster Review: This is an excellent mellow but funky hip hop track, which makes me think of walking in a US city. This has a funky vox an piano introduction. After 10 seconds the first drum layer enters.After 20 secs there is well timed snare drum fill and another layer of swinging syncopated snare drums, and clap, shortly joined by a brass section, which is well layered in. A Guitar and a sophisticated series of jazz organ sections enter the mix. The arrangements vary up to the 1 minute sec mark, after which the main drum, brass and organ drops from the mix and there are a suitable series of lead vocals accompanied by a mellow harmony vox. At the 2 minute 2 second mark there is a fill and the main theme of piano, brass and organ returns this time joined by wonderful strings. These drive a groove to the conclusion of the mix very well, which is a soloed harp sound. I had to give this track 10 out of 10 as it sounds so funky, excellent structural arrangement, stereo positioning, production and mixing. I would question it being ejay if it were not for the fact I heard a few typical ejay sounds in the layers. I did not perform any sound processing on this mix as it was already an mp3. I recommend everyone has a listen to this as it is superb.

I started using ejay just recently; I preferred making pure hip hop music since there are many sounds to construct, I believe the secret lies on choosing the right sounds, this one however, I was a bit hasty.

Webmaster Review: This has a mellow introduction using guitar, harpsichord, bass and piano sounds. These continue for 20 seconds into track then a enter drums, a vox and an occasional shot gun sample. These continue with piano leading the arrangement until shortly before the 2 minute. The drums and other instruments drop and when they re-enter a new guitar lead enters and the mix progressively becomes more funky. At the 3 minute mark there is a concluding theme on harpsichord sound and drums. The final conclusion is an a sound effect which is a cross between a crash and an explosion. I agree with the artist on this one that it is not worked out to its best, the main issue to me is the piano line and shotgun at times is a little corny and makes the track sound like a demo you would get on a musical keyboard. Also I was not totally convinced about some combinations of instruments. Still this mix still gets a very reasonable score of 8 out of 10 as is very well produced and worth and well worth a listen.

Right don`t judge me too much by this mix i threw it together in like 5 mins but do let me know what you thinkI`ve attached the mix file if it helps wasnt aware that you would need it. As for the track i wanted to see how a drum and bass style intro and build up would fit with a hip hoplow rider style, so any comments and feedback on any of the tracks that i submit is taken on board and appreciated.

Webmaster Review: I have been asked to not be too critical as its a musical 5 minute experiment, but too make a general comment, which is, I like what I hear. Is it you rapping? although hip hop is not my favourite genre I love all music and wish I could rap like that. As requested not too much criticism but I will say the track will work better If you repeat the musical ideas between the 31 to 51 second mark to restate the strongest theme in my opinion a little before the conclusion. Just because its hip hop does not mean traditional structure from classical and true rhythm and blues should be ignored. You may notice how much better the whole thing will flow better.
