Masq & Buoy - The Awakening Lp 2013-02-25 12:21:00


Well this has been more than a year in the making,

my debut album, with my baby Buoy and even Spwee (used to post his tracks here)

Covers all genres and attitudes, aggressive bassy genres, jazzy downtempo, experimental sound designy stuff, ambient and everything in-between.

I'd love your thoughts on it, or even a buy <3

Much love guys!!

Just so you know, each track costs £1.73, which is a lot in my opinion considering major labels sell their songs for £1.00 to £1.50 at the most.

NeuroFunkGrid posted Lap Cat on youtube. I actually saw that one first.

Its fun stuff mate. Was definitely worth the listen. If anything I'd say your mixing is a little bit sharp. Maybe work a little bit towards giving a bit more natural rounded corners if ya know what I mean. One more small tip: with intense modulation comes risk of things being emphasized at weird off rhythms...it was only occasional I heard this, but its something.

You may also want to double check the preview of Vajra on beatport. I just noticed its extremely quiet for a section to preview. I mean its cool, but seems like a preview mistake.

Cheers mate!

P.S. I am not good at saying nice things, just critique. Forgive me hahaha

thanks a lot LD!!!

Most of these tracks are pretty old, mixing is RREEAAAAALLLY LOUD AND HARSH (which isn't necessarily bad). The mix on the Journey is the most recent and is really my ideal.

If people are active enough on the newgrounds forums, then they are allowed to advertise their album every so often

ridiculous! excellent work all around

Not a bad album. That bass sound is a bit overused by you though. Yes, I know it's one of your trademarks but you don't hear Skrillex's bass lead from Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites in all of his tracks, despite it being freakin' amazing.

Also, do you get paid by your label?

no bass patch technically repeats in this album,

also yea my contract was only for royalties though

Congrats on the album. Sounds good.

Response to Masq & Buoy - The Awakening Lp 2013-02-26 13:09:43


Amazing stuff, the only thing that bothers me are the punchy distorted drums.
I'd prefer to hear some hard bass-ey drums instead of the ones you currently use.
But nice work!
