Latest that started out with an afternoon screwing around with Rob Papen's Blue II. Nothing too complicated here, but I had a lot of fun putting it together.

All sounds good Dan. Love that bass sound, clear and wide mix with a breezy tone. This piece most certainly flies.

Well,  Dan, you've got me totally stoked for our upcoming flight to San Francisco.
The rush of take-off, that pass through the first layer of clouds. It's all here.
I'm not too keen on the airport gig these days (it used to be fun), but the actual flying part still fascinates me.
I love viewing the world from 30,000 feet, and passing through the shadow of a sunset from a plane was one of the most breathtaking things I have ever seen.
This may not be terribly complex, but it captures the spirit of that.
Super clean and potent sound here. I like this a lot.

Dan, this is a very tastefully done track. I particularly like when the high vocal type sound kicks in around 1:20.
From a recording point of view I'm impressed how balanced it sounds . . . on my monitors those tricky mid range frequencies are most pleasing.
 
From the intro through the first 3 minutes this track is fresh and unpredictable.
I like the glissando in the bass line, not overdone, just right.
Considering that you started by messing around one afternoon with this, it turned out very well, your wealth of creativity really shines here.
 
I notice on the bandcamp site it's tagged as "edm" (Electronic Dance Music ?) is this a new genre for you ?

Thanks Gus! Getting that bass up front without overwhelming everything was tricky. Took me nine mixes to get that right, lol. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for the kind words! I've really been focusing on the mixing part of this craft and I'm glad the results are starting to show. Glad you like that bass! As I mentioned above, it was a tough nut to crack, for me.
 
I tag 'em like I see 'em. I don't stick to any genre, as you can tell if you've heard my other stuff. But this sounded "dance-y" to me and I felt it had a EDM quality to it. How would you tag it?
 
All the best,
Dan
 
 

Sounds good Dan, really polished and pro. This sounds 'theme tune' to my ears, perfect for an adventurous TV show.

Dan,
 
Sounds really good.   The mix is outstanding as is your use of reverbs in this piece.

Hey Dan, 
This is excellent.  Great sounding.  I like the music - it is very creative.  
 
The first link on your post does not allow me to play the song (the Play button did not do anything) so I listened through SoundCloud.
 
Great job.
