My Preferred Label for the different tunes:

Night & Day (Either Stereohype or Stereohype Rising) (Finished)
Handle (Repopulate Mars) (Finished)
Flexin' (Maybe try Stereohype Aswell) (Not Fully Finished Yet)

I am open to any feedback please give me your honest feedback on these tunes as it is very appreciated considering these will be my first couple of tracks I'm aiming to release, on the ones that are marked finish im still open too feedback as there may still be stuff i can fix up, any feedback is much appreciated as these will be my first ever release tunes like i said before, any advice on contacting Record Labels is super appreciated, note these arent the only labels i have in mind just what im aiming for, if you have any other record labels that you think would like these tracks i would like to hear about them, Thanks :)

sounds fire, I think Night & day's drums are just a bit too loud, the kick in particular is really dominating the mix

#

I wish I was this good at tech house 😂

#

but piano house has my heart

polar linden
#

just grind bro, it took me ages lol

#

ive seen some of your music love it

#

some great tunes

tough igloo
#

A lot of the concepts I stick in here don't really get anywhere, the one's I've released are pretty good though

#

I'm focusing on building an alternative Lofi brand atm

#

and also just DJing

#

but yeah the tunes are sick dude

#

definetely should get them released

polar linden
#

Thanks alot bro, i really appreciate it ♥♥🙏🙏

tough igloo
#

sounds a lot better

#

how have you mastered it? feels like it could do with a little more glue

polar linden
#

kinda just did it while making it tbh and added some compression on the master, looked at span see what i could do to make it a little more balanced here and there

polar linden
tough igloo
#

not sure, I could be talking out my arse tbh bro 😂 Everyone hears shit differently innit ahahaha

#

imo the drums sound quite dry but not sure how you'd fix that

polar linden
#

wdym dry like not full enough?

tough igloo
#

I mean personally I stick a tiny bit of reverb on my tops

polar linden

theres load of YT vids on how to contact labels. i would filter results to this year tho as theres advice from years and years ago which might be outdated now. I saw a fantastic tiktok from the head of Defecteds label.
In a nutshell he said to:
look at the websites of the companies to find their A&R person(s) and make sure you send to the correct labels i.e. dont send a banging techno tune to someone like Defected as its not their style - stick to what the label releases
Dont write your life story in the email to the A&R guy, they just want your name, contact etc. theyre not going to read paragraphs of text!
Send the link e.g. your soundcloud account as a private link, DO NOT post it on your page so that everyone can listen to it. If he sees its had 100s or 1000s of views then its not exclusive anymore and other A&Rs might want it! and vice versa if its had loads of views and no one is picking it up, then its probably no good.
When you send the private link, make sure that it has zero views!! I.e. he/she wants to be the first to hear it. I guess this bit you have to make multiple (private) posts of the tune (change the title slightly) so that if you send to lots of A&Rs then they get to be the "first" to hear it.

There was lots more but YT is your friend here... good luck 😉

I love night and day! Bangin tune

#

bro. Night & Day is fucking FIRE @polar linden

#

Btw. Is the S15 / 25 / 4, like the version number?

polar linden
#

I had a bit of a draft already for repopulate Mars handle

#

Just had my name a little bit about the track and the track itself

#

Night and day, except the arpeggio riser in the build I like everything, sick work.

Handle is fire my man, maybe Sink or Swim, LOW CEILING, or LoveStyle Records is also addable to the list of preferred labels.

Flexin is a little too repetitive for me on the drop in terms of the vocals, there is some space up top, which could be filled with like percussions I think. maybe the lead could be slowly pitched upwards to build more tension. I don't know, it seems like it is still in progress, just giving ideas.

I would love to see your tunes on any label honestly, because you have amazing talent my man, keep up the good work.

#

1:47 is the arpeggio sound. It just doesn't seem to fit in with the other parts of the song. Maybe change its key

polar linden
#

like the downlifter thing the one that becomes faster and slower or the cinematic type boom thing

frigid heath
#

the one that gets from very short repetitive synths or whatever those are to longer repetitive chops. I think the first that becomes faster and slower

polar linden
#

thanks for that :)

#

in terms of the tech house sonics you are there bro. You should get them out there, maybe 1 or 2 tracks with a free download, or get some content going of you mixing the track into a set, on top of also possibly getting a track to a record label🔥

orchid pond
polar linden
#

yea gotta get onto to the content side of things i might wait a little longer before i release these maybe just have some tracks with free downloads like ive got tracks that are alright and might have some potential just the fact the i need to finish them first

ive just worked on night & day a bit more because i didnt like the part in the middle, what do you think about it being like this?

# polar linden ive just worked on night & day a bit more because i didnt like the part in the m...

I think the ideas definitely there but the mix needs some work. To me it sounds very unbalanced. The drop saw tooth synth is wayyy to loud to the point that it drowns out the rest of the track any time it plays. Same goes for the James Hype sounding lead shots that occur every once in a while, definitely not as loud as the other lead but still louder than needed. The drums, kick, bass, and synths in the beginning sound cool although it sounds like the entire track is distorting/clipping quite a bit throughout the track. Don't know what you're currently producing on, headphones/monitor wise, but I'd suggest listening to the track on some good headphones along with some reference tracks and i think some of these issue will start to pop out to you and it'll be a bit easier to fix.

#

Another small tip that might help clean the mix up synth wise, try lowpassing your synths at around 7khz to leave more room for your drums and get rid of the tinny top end.

thanks alot for the feedback, just worked on it a bit more turned down the synth a bit, i currently use just some DJ heaphones i want to book a studio soon or buy myself some speakers, im thinking of buying the HS7s maybe ive got a ok amount of acoustic treatment not really proffesional acoustic but mainly like my bed which takes up alot of the room aswell as 2 layers of carpet so hopefully that will help when i get my speakers, only thing i have on the walls rn is just so rectangular acoustic foam but planning to get more soon and do it properly, i worked on the master a little more i will post it here in a minute, i took ur advice on the synth i got rid of some of that high high end and while the difference wasnt massive it was still there so thanks :)\

#

does this sound any better i forgot to do some stuff but let me know what you think :)

#

@polar linden By any chance, is the Night and Day track sampling Spa JH remix ?

polar linden
#

are u talking about the synth?

#

if so no, its tell me why but ive done some stuff to it so its cleaner

#

#

Damn I haven't been on discord in a minute but S20 is sooooo good

#

When the 1st vocal verse comes in might want to increase the side chain imo

#

the vocals there need to be processed a bit more

#

maybe a bit more reverb or just some more 'room'

#

but this song is an absolute banger
