[The Frizz (Radio Edit)]

The quality is definitely enveloped in this kickin' catchy masterpiece. The bouncing mainline definitely carries this track throughout giving an insatiable desire to dance. Again, the command presence is very prevalent in that bassline.

The idea of dancing, then stopping and then back to dancing really works well for what you produced this track for with minimalism. You definitely made a vast improvement fixing the repetition and created more variation progressing this danceable tune into a great climax. Again, the supporting/harmonizing synth that comes in around 1:28 really carries this track into my favorite part with those smooth pads at 1:57, which really opens this track. That short build up around 3:05 sounds much cleaner and natural feeling with the filtered/phased build up making it sound more dynamic.

Overall man, this definitely sounds 10x better than the initial release. Incredible work and one hell of a banger, Johnny!

JohnnyFrizz responds:

Thank you my man! It really means a lot coming from you! Most appreciated :)

[The Frizz (PREMIERE)]

Insane quality in the beat and crisp clarity in the mainline. That bass definitely has some weight to it creating a sort of command presence.

The idea of dancing, then stopping and then back to dancing really works well for what you produced this track for with minimalism. However, I do agree with Shawn about this track having a bit too much repetition and not really going any further in variation. The supporting/harmonizing synth that comes in around 1:28 really carries this track into my favorite part with those smooth pads at 1:57, which really opens this track. Not a big fan of that short build up around 3:05; it just felt a bit too forced sounding and a tad obnoxious. I think if you phased this build up or even filtered it, it would sound more dynamic than flat and repetitive during this section.

Overall man, this is definitely one hell of a banger, and the amount of quality and effort you poured into this is excellent. Add a little more variation to this in those more repetitive sections, and you have an outstanding dance anthem, JF!

JohnnyFrizz responds:

Thanks brother! As always I really appreciate your reviews and opinions, as you well pointed out the minimalistic aspect of this track is definitely intended to keep the audience focuses on the the beat and it's pauses.

I do agree however with the build up, I believe I could definitely improve it and the filter idea is a good one, I'll definitely try it out!

I'll see what I can come up with to add a bit more variation ;)

Thanks again mah man!

[Space Mirrors]

That bassline is pretty sick, 1337! The build up is just as impressive. Certain parts got a little drowned out, but nothing but me nit-picking, and I know it's because of the EQing from the bass over-powering everything else. Love to hear a longer version of this. Excellent work!

Spline-1337 responds:

Thanks for the tips! I will surely keep in mind in future tracks!

[Owl People - Low]

I'm digging the discorded sound giving it a broken and disjointed groove. Definitely reminds me of Aphex Twin's older tunage. Brilliant work, OP! I think if it have some more variation it would be a little more memorable and not so much like BG music. Overall, very nice atmosphere and unique style!
