Totally agree with everything said already.  I just wanted to say when Colonia dropped I thought "aight this guy knows what he's doing".  Mixing was super clean, and I was pumped to listen through the tune when I realized that.

I think you're off trend, like the others have said.  I don't think your music is "bad" in the slightest.  I think it's great.  Super clean.  High energy.  Great choice of sounds.

Some critique I might give though:
1) more percussion variation would be nice.  Obviously not life changing but I think it could distinguish the drops/help you build through a section/make it more interesting for the long haul (on a long song)
2) the breakdowns could be given some chord work.  I know I need to work on this more than anyone, but a good breakdown can make an entire tune for me, especially when the drop is pure energy.

Otherwise really really great tracks, dude.  You've got a new follower.

Wow, thanks man ! I appreciate the kind words.

I hear you, really I think that I've got still loads of stuff to learn and understand even though i've producing for a while. Obviously you make a point on these drums, nothing really fancy going on but i could have done a little more, I do believe i got lazy in the process !
And of course I love melodies, I love chords progression, honestly i just didn't feel that way on colonia even though i could have give it a try !
Thanks man, again!

The intro to Colonia reminds me a lot of Pryda, same kind of bass/bassline. When it gets to the main part, it sounds really dark. The nice sounds you add in there just make it perfect to listen to at a club, afterhours.
Stairways sounds more EDM-ish, aimed for the mainstage. I could see Steve Angello dropping this in a festival/club set. It's just pure straight up energy, we need more tracks like this.
Definitely enjoyed your EP man, downloaded the tracks, will use them in my live sets!

So happy to hear those feedbacks, thanks for the kind words! I totally agree on the fact that we need more straight up energy tracks!
Thank you for the support !

Nice IDM stuff, keep up !

Got some nice textures here ! Good stuff, maybe a little bit more climax in my opinion, but really well produced.

 

Hey Matt!

first of all, good to see some people ready to actually get next step.
What I would recommend first would be looking to Sidechain, have you heard of it ? I can help if you need, i'll link some tutorials.
And if I was you I would start looking for textures, like your saws for example, you could actually filter them in so many ways that in the end you would reach a very unique texture !

I'm hoping this was helpful, keep up the good work.
Cheers!

Hi guys!

Here is my new EP:




I'm missing a lot the oldschool vibe, at a time where people actually enjoyed music for her groove and her roundness.
So i'm planning to do more tracks like these and try to build my career around this style.

Fun fact, i've been producing under Magnus & Timon for many years (Progressive-house EDMish), and we had like support from everywhere from DJ's to Blogs because of the trends around our style (mostly EDM blogs), but for my solo career and my new style it seems like no blogs would want to write on it. So my thought is : Is my music bad ? Or am I just off the trend ?

thanks for listening and reading, would love to hear your thoughts.
