Dj Sean is propably pretty new composer. I've listened couple of his songs (from 4 so far) and I must say that there is some great potential in this guy after he just tracks more and everything just starts to roll on well...=) Artist categorized this song as a "hard house". Well, it is something from the line of club & house, but for me it doesn't sound so hard.=) But still, it is pretty good. The beginning of this song ain't so good. A lame club-organ pattern and drums in the background. Then the song changes a bit : Organs disappear and some synths take place. Now the track starts to sound ok. It really sounds like a real housetrack - it is monotonic,but yet quite effective. Then again the organs come along, but not for long.=) The same nice monotonic feeling begins to build up again. It is nice that someone has managed to create something this nice, without anykind of real melody. The song leans mostly on soundworld and hypnotic athmosphere. And it actually works pretty well.=) So the song continues to its end which happens in 6.30 so this song is pretty long too. I cannot recommend this song for people who think that decent melody is the main thing in the song. This track is a bit repetitive, monotonic and simple from its musical and technical structure. But this track represents the kind of songs that in some points just makes you add some more volume, and that is a good thing.=) Pretty nice job Dj Sean.=) The technical side in this song is very simple. Effects that are used , are mostly pannings, but at least the samples are 16-bit quality. Despite the fact that there really is no bigger effects used here, the artist shows that he has some good ideas. Use of samples was good and I also liked the samples chosen to this piece. Sometimes the percussionchanges may sound a bit rude (snare changes into another that is quite different than the other), but in the end that doesn't matter. The only "bad" thing that I can say about from this piece is that the "houseorganparts" made the song sound sometimes a bit tame and the feeling of "hardhouse" is broken.
