Ju-Ju (free jazz sampling house track)

Blatantly sampled some sax from one of my favorite free jazz records and made a house track out of that.

Reaper and pretty much all free plugins, as usual.

Nice housey vibes in here, that sax is getting on my nerves a bit after a while though...
It also sounds a bit one dimensional, maybe a short reverb would help there. That high pitched pad seems a little loud in the intro, since it's a bit of a piercing sound. The percussion could maybe do with a notch and some saturation, sounds too clean to me.

Otherwise it's a cool track, not bad for using only free stuff. Though nowadays it shouldn't make that much of a difference, or did you mention it to lower expectations :lol:

Really nice groove, man, reaaaaally nice! Not a big fan of saxophones in general, but I think you have that one figured out. Find it a great idea and got some personal touch to it. Like Mr. voodoo said, it sounds a bit too panned in the beginning, even though you compensate it the further the track marches on, so in the end it's okay to me. Cannot complain about anything else, listened on headphones, low end is great and nothing else is disturbing me. From a non-professional background I would say that mor'fucka is ready to be released, maybe a few more tweaks here and there where my ears haven't been trained for yet, but you defo got the 90%!
