Anjovi's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Unlocked Access]

Super impressive composition chops you've got! Makes me want to try stuff like this (any chance you have the names of some of the vsts you use?)

FJOB responds:

Of course, use the Kontakt libraries from Proyectosam: Swing & Swing More!, as well as use the metal sections of the Metropolis Ark 1 library.

[Daybreak Never Comes]

yeah stoupe always went crazy with the classical music samples. Nice pairings of sound. the metal track at the end blends really well with the beat before it (great transition!)

libbyshimmz responds:

Thanks Anj! 💜

Yeah, pitching the sample in the track I sampled makes it sound as if it came from a movie score of some kind. I'm surprised no one has found it after 20 years...

[Open Arms]

gorgeous!

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanky

Sounds really dope on the headphones. I like the 3d space you got inbetween the drums with the panning. fantastic droning with all the samples. love it!

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Nice glad you dig it

[Mid-Knight Seance feat. Anjovi x Dan.The.lil.Eel (Prod. Gminor)]

Was fun working on this with you man! Doing some stuff with my hands xD

NodOfTheEel responds:

It's because I thought of your koala sampler vids, so a hand fits. Was trying to actually cut your hand from a vid.... that didn't work out hahaha thanks Anj means a lot👹

[Cyclone]

love the drums in the mix and how the samples tuck behind and float above them. Works well here :D Great soundscaping! Kinda has this Dj Muggz level to it but still has that industrial/emo (probably butchering genre references, but it's all i got lmao!) sound to it.

Great job LIbby!

libbyshimmz responds:

Thanks Anj!

Yeah, butchered them right up, haha.

I have been listening to a lot of Cypress Hill lately... 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Strawberry TreeƵ by Anjovi ft. (D.M.N.J.Ƶ)]

I dig it! Like an acid peak haha! Kinda nice how it rounds out some of the high end frequencies (kind of went a bit heavy on that in my latest project it seemed xD).

GhostlyDoobies responds:

hell yeah, i like all of it. i know what you mean... it does have like a acid-boombap style to it. and it do sounds good, nicely sung i mean.

[One Hour Backwards]

haha! for some reason ng didn't put this one in my feed >.<

Bang on! Synths guitars and vocals blend as beautifully as I've heard from your recent output. Structurally, it works great as well. It doesn't come off as repetitive and that singing does a great job of giving little flourishes here and there.

Great choice for Aesop chops. Honestly could see him on this beat and i'd admittedly dig it more than alot of the beats he chooses.

libbyshimmz responds:

I would be honored if Mister Bavits spit over this. I wonder what he would think of it, or the fact that I've adopted his bars for hooks at least 5 times now.

Thanks for the love! I'll get around to fuckin' with that a capella you sent me this afternoon too!

[no one tags trains no mo']

A nice addition to the world of abstract hiphop! Really digging the mix of the samples (that guitar panning in on the right adds some nice space to the whole thing.

While at times, it's got me pining for some additional sample for some strings/flutes/horns or something, the beat holds together real good as is.

Great job Libby!

Thanks Anj!
