I've had this track up on my soundcloud for quite a while now, but the download limit was reached this morning; so while moving the track to permanent hosting (thanks, nou and wrzonance!) i decided to post it up in case any of you guys haven't checked it out already.
this is basically a minimalistic deep house approach at the original erlend oye track- but don't be fooled, when i say "minimalist" i don't mean hipster-mnml, i mean it's deep house with a minimal amount of instrumentation. drums, bass, rhodes, 1 synth. and even though it's my "laziest" piece, production-wise, it's also my most popular track on soundcloud for some reason, lol.
I found the vocals to not be my cup of tea, and the intro felt a little lifeless to me with nothing but some drums. But overall I really enjoyed everything else. Very chilling tune, well done!

I like this alot! Total chill vibe...
Would like to hear this but sped up too I think a B side remix is in order eventually Again good vibe.
hey, thanks for the feedback fellas. i'm thinking about redoing the entire thing- keeping the basic ideas, but maybe changing the arrangement slightly to make it more dj-friendly, as well as updating/tweaking some of the instrumentation so it doesn't sound as muddy. that and the vocals feel a little flat to me, like, literally flat. i think they're like... a demi-semitone off or something. lol

I like the vocal. Reminds me a bit of norm talley. It may be your laziest track, but good ideas pretty much build themselves. Can't really give any feedback on this one, it's already good.

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no need to speed up the track in my opinion
love the vocals , love that snare
Totally awesome track, sir. Love the vibe. Definitely has that 'deep' feel to it. Even though the elements seem minimal, they're definitely up to some intricate stuff.
agree with the others, this sounds great. the sounds are all well chosen and contribute to the overall vibe you achieved. very good work son i am not disappoint.

Oh that rhodes is indeed nice. Bass is nice as well.
Very reminiscent of Moby from back in the day. (Probably the vocals that do this)
Groovy,
The obligatory : Very nice work m8

fucking love erlend oye, used the sample from sudden rush in a track a while ago too
nice work on the track man, adds something nice over the original, different, but still a 'remix'
