Hello, all!

I'm a first time blog-poster (sorry if I sound pretty newby), and I came here asking for TL's opinion on some music.

My friend's brother is a new and aspiring DJ. He made some new music recently which I thought sounded pretty good, so I told him I'd help him out by telling people about him and seeing if I could get some people to review his music. I know that there are a lot of people on TL who are into the electronica/dubstep genre, so I thought here would be a good place to post this.

His newest song: http://soundcloud.com/joshpierce/monument#

Sound cloud profile: http://soundcloud.com/joshpierce

Any constructive criticism (Be kind.) would be much appreciated. I'll be showing him this if it gets some decent feedback.

Again, this isn't my music. I had no part in making it. I'm not making any money off of this; I'm just helping a friend out.

Thanks

Hm. Listened to the monument thing and I can't say I was impressed. Let's just say the piece is fairly uneventful, contrary to the common notion of monumental music. Might make nice level background music for a 2D space arcade game though.

I'm actually kinda diggin' the song. It's not amazing by any means, but I think he has potential as an artist. Please note, I'm not some musical master guy, just your average Joe who likes some electronic type music.

Yeah, pretty much just trying to get him out there. I'm pretty sure he's just starting out.

I was kind of worried about it being "prohibited" as well. If a mod thinks it's inappropriate/breaking any rules, it's completely fine by me if it's closed. (Like I have any say in the matter lol.)

Exactly what I thought, a lot of the songs I jumped through, sounded like old skool video game music. Its that repetitiveness with adding another sound on top of it, and then another sound.

The song Crystal, if it would be produced with different sounds, throw in lyrics it could be a good Bloc Party song.

the beat of certain parts in the song for me last way to long, making it sound to dull. my favorite part was in 1:56. the song starts off slow but it ends well
