Hey guys and girls this has just been finished up today.
Would love to know what you think so don’t just look at the post take some time to check out the tune and leave feedback. It helps if we all do this
Brass Attack (Sample) by Lempo and Japwow Project
well, it’s a long way from what I’d normally listen to…
well balanced, flows and grooves smoothly. In fact, it sounds more like a ‘real’ band playing than anything electronically produced… till that mini-breakdown about 2/3rds of the way in, which is great by the way. Did you just chop the audio up and repeat it at shorter intervals? Works well. Reminds me of a those recent chart hits.
If there’s one thing I’d prefer a punchier kick. It seems a bit lost at the moment.
Yeh its chopped up audio although we have now found someone who can play it live for us but its better chopped u can get the kind of swing u want
Its alot of percussion layers aswell but that was fun
We used a heavy kick in the last few tunes and i wasn’t sure if it was too overpowering when it was played in a club but ill take that into account thanx
I’m in the same boat… Not my cup of tea, but wow, a very high quality production. Presumably signed yes? This kind of brass/jazz style was huge in Ibiza, especially in the smaller bars/clubs, Hush etc., etc. I’m not a huge fan because I’ve just heard so much of it it quickly killed my interest… But of what I have heard, this is defo one of the better productions I’ve heard. It’s not OVERLY cheesy, and it does hold great elements of the original sampling. The kick is perfect, not too subby with plenty of punch… I’d say that was hard getting that balance right sitting over so much percussion.
All in all a great track - love the breakdown too, if that doesn’t get a floor moving I don’t know what would.

Hey mate,
Thanx … no its not signed only finished it yesterday so sending to labels and hoping we land a big one along with the others
totally understand what u mean about the sound being a little overdone … that is the problem with music i guess when u love a sound and create it urself along with others it tends to be around a fair bit… dubstep, jazz stuff etc
I spent alot of time on the percussion i had most of that sorted ages ago and then spent another few weeks looking for the right sound to fit with the percussion that would be catchy
hopefully this will stand above the rest and we can progress our sound to keep it fresher
Thank you so much for the response and listening
Nina
Here is the funky video we made for it
The vid absoultly fits the tune.
Like Block your tunes are a long way from what I would listen too, however after a few tequillas and I’d be rocking my old bones to any off your tunes - which I suppose is the desired reaction - keep up the great work
Thanx slender appreciate the honesty aswell. I guess in clubs your either into the music or just there for a party so aslong as it rocks people thats what counts
I think you might of just timed this one nicely for Miami W.M.C.
Good Luck Japwow and nice to hear your getting some airplay on the radio.
Hey Nina. I like the idea. I would like to hear the whole track if you would like some feedback. I personally dont like to give my criticisms and feedback on tracks in public as I can be very upfront. If you want that, shoot me a PM. If you don’t, cool. The idea is good though.
Hey howie, Sorry i can’t send out the full tune its only samples until we sort out a signing. The previous labels we have been signed to have been specific that no promos until they are ready (which is hopefully for wmc and ibiza next year) so we have decided to keep everything tight until we are all signed, sealed and in the promo stage.
Hope you understand
I totally understand. That’s how Armada was with my song. Doesn’t mean I don’t let friends listen down though. But I totally dig it.
If you are on a mac, let me know. I can listen without downloading it if you need some fresh ears to listen down to.
