Reviews for "Brando ft Scoop - Road 2 Dance"

Coolness...

The beginning is pretty awesome! I love the synth/piano you used there. It sounds like it is a synth, but still has an edge that has a piano feel to it. Very cool sound indeed.

I like the fade out and crescendo into the main section at 0:55. That was a great touch, and really had a cool way of introducing the song.

The mix of synths is pretty decent, but it seems a little to stereotypical in it's sound for me. I'm not much for the dance/trance genres, unless there is something that sounds very different from the norm. This is pretty much more of the same to my ears. But that being said, this should be a hit with all the dance and trance kiddies. :-)

I think the rhythms in the percussion are perfectly appropriate. They really help to push the song along at a tremendous clip, which is important for this style. It helps to really create that dance atmosphere, and I can see people getting on their feet for a sound such as this.

I think my only beef, is that I'm not hearing a ton of bass. And I have a pair of professional audio headphones, and the top of the line Altec Lansing speaker system. I can hear EVERYTHING to say the least. So yea, the absence of a bass is pretty important to me, because if you listen to my songs, me loves the bass. ;-)

But overall, this is just about right for the type of sound you are going for.

5/5 and 9/10 overall. Nice work here bud.

Hey mate. Yeah the introduction is pretty nice! was interesting. Glad you liked it!

Yeah the fade out intro there was good, it was something I heard a while back and thought it would sound good here, and it looks like it worked out.

Heheh yep should hit all the dancey trancey kiddies :D

Maybe for the bass I should put another bass in the layer to crank it up a little bit, but any more I think it would sound bad on my speakers.

Nice system by the way XD

Thanks heaps mate,

-Cheers Brando

So Happy!! :D

First things first and that'll be the intro. ;)
Loved the piano, and the pad trough it. The melody is indeed repitive there, but I don't see why it actually needs variation, I loved it how it came out like this. Very energetic and happy vibe going on here, which continues to the rest over the song.
Which I admire because sometimes it is really hard to keep one feeling going on the whole time, without getting repitive.

Main theme of the song, is really energetic and happy as said before. I love the electric bass, it fits in really nice, and as well for the leads and synth. The best thing was the stuttering effect at some points of the song, it's an little detail but spices things up for sure! The percussion was REALLY nice, to mention it in the intro, perhaps simple but perfect at the same time. Builded really nice.
Godly pad, and still gotta say that bass is wicked! :D

Near the end it builded of slowly, and loved the build which started at 2:00 and ended at 2:41, to progress into the end, that was something like an adrenaline rush, good job.

Good luck, on your further submissions, as always keep me informed. ;)

*PS: You owe me a review as well now, I am waiting over a week. :(

Dj-Brand0 responds:

Really glad you liked it :D

I'm also glad you didn't think it needed variation which backs me up lol. Yeah I like the happy touch to the song, but I think I've kinda had enough of the happy music making for now. lol

Yeah thanks, I'm glad you liked the percussion and bass, I layered it a fair bit. :D
I made sure I added all the effects it needed for the intros and breaks etc.

And at the end, yeah glad you liked it again. It kept the song going with a nice variation, thanks :D

-Cheers Brando
