Nice driving dance tune
I definitely like the driving repeating pattern of this tune. It builds nicely from the start with a syncopated rhythm that eventually turns into a non-syncopated driving beat. Easily a decent dance tune for a bar or dance club. Nice work!

Heartfelt Sonic Goodness!
I am always looking for electronic music that is able to convey emotion. It is one thing to be able to produce on a technical level, but to bring life and energy into this medium, it takes a whole other set of skills. This track has both for me, and that deserves to be noticed. The choice of sounds, the way the track moves along and the well balanced melodic and harmonic structures make this full of heartfelt sonic goodness! Way to go Phoenix!

Dream!!
This other track from Phoenix is i "Pop Trance Dream Style". This gender was played pretty much in the 90´ies but allmost forgotten to today. Or maybe I haven´t notice that this gender maybe still exist or probably will have a comeback. It´s a kind of soft trance music with pop elements and also with a very dreaming ambience. This artist that does not think in genders/musicstyle concepts but makes music with his heart has made another great and beatyful outstanding instrumental electronica track. It´s a very dreaming but also a very ryhtmical track. The new age element in this track may have to do with relaxation. You can put this track on and dream your stress and negative thougts away. It could also be a soundtrack to a sciencfiction film or a great film theme.

Get Moving"
Although Electronic is not my typical listening choice,I do find it compelling at times to feel that endless drive of rhythm pulsating though me as my body resonates with it's beat. High Waves does all this in a moving way and I think on a wold night out dancing wildly beneath the stars or on a dance floor, I would flow with the wave like movement

Gated Heaven
An interesting trance intro starts of this composition with gated arpeggios that evolve into the main musical themes. The production is first class with a wide variety of thematic elements utilized throughout the song. Each one complements the overall soundscape very well. The mix is even with only a hint of pumping in the mix when the new heavy bass is introduced at the 2/3 point. The arrangement also well executed. A nice example of Trance. Bravo!

Nice idea but lack coherence in the draft
Good initial harmonies. The piece loses energy in the central part. There are no beautiful voice loops. Lack of harmonic coherence. The bass start to play too late. Can you improve you songs! Good Work!

High waves
This is a very well executed and produced track. I like it. The feeling of open spaces and sea/wind brought on by the sweeping white noise is very effective. I played this song on my bluetooth room speakers, it filled the room really well. NICE TRACK.

Review - Phoenix - High Waves
Your ego is probably not gonna like my review very much, I will be honest with the intent of constructive criticism with no disrespect or offense intended. I have listened to Techno and Trance for years and have hear the best of it; so hopefully you can trust my opinion with this song. This song is just mediocre. the arrangement leads nowhere. The cracindo's never lead to a Bomb Drop? just fizzled back to the default rhythm again. if you're gonna produce electronic music I would study song/musical Dynamics. Doc Martin was a master at this, Paul Oakenfold as well. There was nothing special going on during this track, for that reason I doubt a dj would (HAVE) to play this track instead of others during a set. again no offense intended. A good tecno track needs a Solid Hook and should climax (drop a bomb) at some point. It's cool, it's definitely music, but it seems to be missing the thing that makes me say "Oh Hell Yeah"... "That Shit's Tight" - But on that note... Keep it up, Make more! P.L.U.R. Del Leon

High Waves review
Hi. Nicely prepared dance track. Good quality standard groove will bring people to the dance-pole. More pauses and different density is required, but it is for my taste. And will be good to add some music theme to switch out from main groove part.

Instant Classic Sound
Powerful, Clean.. and Engaging. Leaves ample room for remixing / variants. Thanks for sharing! :) (I left 3 pts. for overhead ;) this is the type of track that takes me back to music that was made for those who love the way music makes them move.
