Sound Surfer Playlists Curator on Song to Carol by Chris Portka · 3 months ago Declined

Hi Chris Portka, I loved the smooth bass groove and the soulful vibe but unfortunately this doesn't fit my r&b playlist as they vocals were too sparse and lacked lyrics. This also doesn't quite have the punchier drums to fit my house playlist. I'm sorry to tur...

Hi there and thank you for sharing your music Chris Portka! A nice and vibrant tune for sure. That bass in there sounds crisp. Well done on the production. For me personally: a bit too repetitive and slow paced. I prefer more energetic singing right from the s...

The song for Carol is perceived as carefully crafted in terms of sound. I like the polished sound and rich instrumentation. But, regarding its theme and lyrics, it is somewhat lacking in depth. It entertains, but I don't feel that it leaves a lasting mark on t...

In terms of sound and instrumental quality, I can say that the proposal is pleasant and maintains a good level throughout its development. There is a noticeable carefulness in the production and a competent execution that adds value to the whole. However, bein...

Hey there! To start with, I really dig that hypnotizing effect that your tune has on me. Infectious percussion, catchy bass line and hi-pitched back vocals. Pretty unusual layering. I like your openness to experiments. Unfortunately, the vocal lines did not re...

I really enjoyed the tone and atmosphere you created , it feels cinematic and intense. The writing itself has a sincerity that I appreciated. I especially liked how cohesive the overall mood was. Personally though, the vocal processing felt slightly synthetic...

The track has got many interesting sound elements throughout. I like the smooth groove a lot. However to better fit my playlist I would've liked for the track to have way more mainstream appeal to it

Daniel Mena Curator on Pull His Jumper by Chris Portka · 3 months ago Declined

Hello! Thank you for sharing your track. The song creates attractive and comfortable spaces within the beat, which gives the vocal a good room to develop. There’s a nice structure in the production, and the rhythm leaves enough space for the voice to take a st...

Hey Chris Portka, One of the first things I noticed right off the bat was that the final mix was overblown. Basically all that means on my end is that I was hoping for a better master on the track, specifically regarding clipping. Personally, I couldn't really...

Hi Chris! Thank you for sharing your track with me. Your vocals and production are truly impressive! That said, I usually lean towards a more commercial pop sound, and I felt that this track has more of a techno vibe. Because of that, I won’t be able to move f...

Hey! There's a cool atmosphere underneath this and I can hear the direction you were aiming creatively. The mix feels a bit too muffled and distorted for my taste though, so a lot of the details don't come through as clearly as they could. With a cleaner and m...

Endless Grooves Curator on Pull His Jumper by Chris Portka · 3 months ago Declined

Loving the clarity of the drums in the mix as it emphasized the groove of the arrangement. But the track is too EDM sounding for the Lo-fi sound I am looking for. Apologies but I must pass for now.

Hi there Chris, thanks for sending in your music! Clean work on the production. I like the action going on in there but I do miss a little structure. I feel like there is a real build up missing. I am sure there is an audience for this though, but I do prefer...

Ken's Collection Curator on Pull His Jumper by Chris Portka · 3 months ago Declined

Hey Chris, hearing a unique production style on the track. However, I did feel that the distortion and saturation on this track is a bit over done. It's present almost the whole way through in pretty much all the instruments. I'll have to decline for now as th...

Simone Lorenzon Curator on Pull His Jumper by Chris Portka · 3 months ago Declined

Hello Chris Portka thank you for reaching out. An Interestimg production with some raw and deep sound design. Unfortunately the whole vibe of the track is too dark for my selection. I normally search for more dreamy and intimite tunes for both my playlists. I...

Jens Van der Borght Curator on Pull His Jumper by Chris Portka · 3 months ago Declined

hey, Nice bassline in this one. I personally found the mix overcompressed and missing dynamcis and feeling too distorted because of this. I like a more polished mix for my list. lastly I focus less on vocals and mainly on melodic progression in the instruments...

Vibe Agency - Asia Curator on Pull His Jumper by Chris Portka · 3 months ago Declined

Hello! We appreciate your hard work on the production and creative synth layering. However it sounds a bit too dark and strong for softer and dreamier side of our "electronic rock/indie" playlist that we curate 🙏
