Another fantastic track. Great use of the vocoder over this one makes the track very involving and kept me interested all the way through. The quality of your production is outstanding!
Simply to good to leave alone, im back for more!!!!!
I think that this is absolutely stunning. I first heard it on dsential's mixdown, and was hooked then. Nothing since then has served to change my mind. It's such a delight to hear something that is groundbreaking, outside the 'norm' of so much modern dance music, yet at the same time, so true to it's own inner laws. What more can I say?
Fabulous lyrics, i always wanted to know what was being sang, this is a real musician lovers song. Excellent music, as always. And is also featured on my megamix as track 1. Good start. 10/10
Wow, i thought this was a place for unsigned artists. Don't tell me you are not signed yet, this is a very professional and catchy tune and so are the rest of your tracks. I love the vocodervocals in this one, and the synths/melodies are really cool. I especially like the grooviness in all your tracks. Recommented and voted.
thanks for the lyrics :O)
LYRICS ADDED. :)
Darn, that vocoder is just too cool. Never left comments before for some reason. Whenever the wifey, who doesn't like electronica, complains when I'm listening to tracks, I do my best human reproduction of your 'ELECTRONIC MUSIC', along with a weak robotic dance. It really is catchy as hell, but, I'd still like to have lyrics added so I can read them.
Hey,Rakk!!!! Congratulations on your top place in the chart!!! So well deserved!!!! Rock on!!!! Sincerly,Serge Blake10/10

it was already a top track , remasterd even better!That vocoder is stunning! My fav.dance track , reminds my to the eighties vocoders but better...great job indeed deserves again (more) then 10
Excellent remastering Rakk. Still amazing track, I love it and giving it another 10/10
and I'm dancing around the room one more time to your music. I would love to hear this at a club or something, or look down at my own deck and see it rotating. Lank
fantastic funky house really well put together 9-10
I cant believe I missed this track! Holy Crap! I cannot believe the vocoder work on here its stunning! I am so enamoured of your style Rakk!
Er luch?? must be somat I ate.. try Lush :)
Ahhhhhhhhh ... now this grabs the attention full on ... Great production clearer vocoder work.. a real gem of track.. A very luch sounding piece of dance music .. You easily envision the this pupin it good at any large venue with masses giving it plenty of the shape throwin.. Lovin it
This track has really started to get to me, I can't get the main synth melody out of my mind its stunning! I'm Back for seconds!
great vocoder, fat synths, some nice breaks and tweaks and an old disco feeling as well , like it very,very much 10/10 other version?this is damn good :-},other song as well, keep it up
I think there should be a little harder beat. Vocoder adds a nice depth. RARELY see that in unsigned works. other than the lack of a good heavy kick, I think it is a very good track, the blend of sounds is good, creates flow, there is the repetition, but never even a whisper of reaching the point of being annoying. 8/10. Original, good blend.
Interesting!
Great beats and synths, nice sequenced vocals too, excellent work, keeps its energy throughout 8/10
Hi Rakk, really like the blend of trance, electro and progressive in this track. For my taste the kick doesn't have enough kick, but I like it to really pound... apart from that this track's very cool and I can easily imagine a club full of people rocking out to this. Favourite features are the vocoder and the really big synth break near the end of the track. Good stuff!
Yo Spyda! - I hear ya fella - busy right now on third and final (?) mix and thank you for the comments on 1.0 Zulu - checkin you out now.
I've been watching, reading & listening & I'm now waiting !!! You're definitely gonna get there on this one & I'm well impressed with your music, your attitude on the message boards & especially toward the other artists here at MP3Unsigned - you've gained much respect in a very short time - now give the folks what they deserve - get this track finished & out there for the masses - it deserves it - you deserve it ! OK !?! Clive
wicked - thank you from the heart for the considerate comments PD, Tacx DSent, IF, Crock, Ferris RainyD, Slippy-T an AlexV mix version 3 imminent.
Great track, its got flow and style. Brilliant use of sounds. Reminds me of Royksopp, which is a huge compliment. 10/10
Listened to on some Pants speakers sorry, sounds good i think, sounds quite IDM. the sweeps wouldsound better with more attack. The vocoder, as everyone is saying, a pinch out of sync. But i think the vocoder works extremly well with the track, and compliments it completly. I really like your drum programming. I also took a kinda liking to thats cute little ride! lol, dont know why. Needs a little work. Perhaps bring the bassline out a little as well. Quite high up in the frequency range. But what i must say about this tune man....GOOD DYNAMICS. this tune is good but needs a little tweaking, so its gets a 7/10 from me. Good tune man thanks for the listen rakk
I'm glad you added the extra dance beat, and right from the begining, this could be a hit with the right mix (radio edit).
Really do like this but sometimes I think the vocoder phrases are a little out of sync with the music?
I think it is getting better. You have used a more subliminal approach with the spoken word which, IMHO works better, is less cofusing and lets the music shine.
cool stuff, reminiscent of Benny Benassi only a lil...harder? i like it
i KNOW the vocoder is still fuzzy - waiting for a software upgrade
weeee - lemme know what ya think of this verrsion please! thankyou thankyou. :-)
Hey m8 just listened to your track I like the quality of your production, The track needs some direction and it gets a little messy at times but that’s only my opinion, I like the effects too. In saying all that good luck and keep at it. Cheers!
Wow, great tune, never heard anything like this before, a totally different sound. One for download, cool tune. D
thanks boys and girls - keep on commenting
Bit jumbled for me though but has the foundations of a great track.
SUPERB ! I like it :)
Great track.. Only crit is cut down on the amount of words you use.. It gets to the point where the amount you are trying to fit in overspill and get out of sync with the music. A brilliant tool to work with tho.. Cool stuff
After a sack-full of emails asking "what on earth does the robot say in verse 2" etc, Rakk has put finger to key and added the lyrics to RakkTronic(For your delectation and delight)
Rakk shows his face at the door of inspiration after a looooong breakRefreshed, revived and less full of beer than last year he is busy working away connecting THIS to THAT in an effort to get the World off its ass and dancingCheck back before January 28th.......
nuff saidnew track imminent
Rakk is currently resting up at his palacial 1 bed apt concocting a blend of groove, bounce and stomp for his next offerings in DecemberSources close to him hve said "where's he at?"He'll be back.
Rakk has posted a work in progress of his latest collaboration with Beta17The track is called BE LIKE METake a listen and as always - say what you think
Rakk has teamed up with funkmeister Beta17 to put together their first co-production across the pondThe track is called "Set Your Ass Free"It is guaranteed floorfiller - make no mistake.
Rakk has finally finished his re-working of Raquela's hugely successful single "Disco Never Died"Rumours are it's even had the doormen dancinGet it on girl.
Rakk is now officially awe-inspired by the recent success of his remix of Beta17. A flurry of remix requests have arrived in his intray and they have been shortlisted as follows:Beta17 Paradise Decay Raquela Virus and Dsential has playlisted Tronic on his pending CD mix releaseHe's gonna be busy.
Rakk is now lining up a second remix of a Beta17 track - details soonAnd is also teeaming up with Raquela for "Disco Never Died"Deadline for mixes is one week
Rakk creates a 130bpm remix of Beta17's class track "Space Man, Silver Man"Rakk is said to be thrilled to have completed his first piece of work with another artist from MP3unsigned."The concept of remixing somebody's music from the other side of the pond is freaky and a great inspiration" said Rakk.
It's one quarter way through the album and Rakk has once again started the foundations of his 4th track.Excited and emotionally inspired by the helpful comments and constructive criticism he received from his first three tracks, Rakk has made a mental note that if he ever manages to release a record, the top of the sleevenotes will be a massive big-up to everybody on MP3unsignedHe awaits reaction once again busting to get tweaking on response.
After 3 days of work Rakk releases RakkTronic, a blend of mid-trance and vocoder pop,THe track is in part written by MP3Unsigend artists through messageboard and comment board guidance and critiqueRakk is now working on a nother blend - Target Practise due out this weekend
Rakk - as usual - learns from his peers and always responds with positive steps - as has been seen yet again with version 2 of his mildly out-there vocoder tune.He is hoping that for those inclined to listen to Dance/Pop/4-4 stuff, there may be the temptation to once again help shape the finished version via the medium of the comments board.Weeeeeeee.
Rakk has surprised us again by NOT releasing a track called "Target Practise" (he muttered something about bullets) and has instead uploaded his new work-in-progress - TRONIC.Smothered in vocoded inspirational words, Rakk's latest addition is another foray into the unknown using his new toys.No doubt one or two comments will be passed, good and bad, for Rakk to take on board.
Rakk is once again delighted that somebody has taken the time to comment on his latest work - First Dive. "It's like an injection of creativity everytime I get feedback" said Rakk.Rakk's next release - Target Practise - is dues out over the coming weekend. Rumours point to another melodic track - most likely 4-4 but with breaks.Watch this space.
In breaking bulletins across Brighton, Rakk - famed but still aloof beatducer has finally made his way slowly to the dizzy heights of number 49 in the official mp3unsigned Dance charts.SOurces close to the artist cite frantic fiddling with his favourite new toy - Ableton Live 4.0.1 Rumours abound that on the back of his enormos succes Rakk might just get off his fat Rakkside (TM) and make another tune
There's four-packs being cracked as we speak. Rakk ain't at the party - he's tweaking his microsettings on his portable MP3 dancemachine and upping the melody config to max. Rakk got reviewed by Slippy-T (mod from this site) and he is over-the-moon-and-in-the-studioWhen Slippy-T reviewed his track. Rakk was so overwhelmed with joy he threw a sicky from his 9-5 and wrote another. The fruits of this effort will be posted soonTHe review can be read in full, at the following hypergroovylocation.com/f*ckin "A" Rakk says - F*ckin "A#" actually.
In a breakthrough of effort and hope, Rakk (of RakkMusic) has got off his fat .... and managed to not only make two tunes in three days, but has also upped them to mp3unsigned.comA source, close to Rakk, said "I can't believe it, he is so disorganised, litter all over his room , coffee stains days old reside on his computer, and his BED! - My god if had had a penny for every...."As you can see - unprecidented goings on ar RakkMusic Further detail on this phenomenon can be found at the artist's website
The first track I heard from Rakk, and I was immediately hooked. This is the sort of dance track that would increase sales of bottled water at any large club event, as theres no stopping you once you get into this one. Relentless might seem like a negative word, but in context I think it's relevant. The beat is Relentless, driving you on and on with it's almost tribal beats.
Location: Brighton UK. Into the dance zone. What I really like about this is that it doesn’t sound like the usual chart dance stuff and THAT is a huge plus in my book. This number is as tight as a badgers ass and certainly makes the head nod and the feet shuffle.
