New Releases on iTunes I Released two new singles on iTunes: Chic's Road and Let it Groove. ...and I will have fresh news soon!!!
Chic's Road Reviewed by Taxi My song Chic's Road was reviewed by Taxi (The World's Leading Independent A&R Company). Miguel, " This is a really groovy track that creates a hypnotic effect. You sound like you've been honing your skills for a while- this is tight and well-crafted. Great danceable groove. My philosophy is that each instrument should be considered as part of the rhythm section (not just the bass and drums), and this track is a good example of that." >> " The musicianship of the performances is impressive, and I love all of the subtle ear candy. Regarding my comment on the melodies, as well as the idea of considering another contrasting chord change- I think what you have here is appropriate to the genre of the track, where it's really more about the overall killer groove, as opposed to getting a hook stuck in your listener's head." >> " Overall, very nice work here Miguel. You exhibit plenty of talent, and it sounds like you put your heart into what you do." >> Micro Talk will be released on CD Hi everyone. I have some good news!!!

Love, Miguel Let it Groove - custom critique by Taxi.com "I immediately liked what I was hearing from the get-go as the stabs sounded like they were created by a sample or an enticing patch. The track begins with an ambient tension and it's apparent there is some momentum building and waiting to surface." >> Subscribe to my mailing list Scroll down the page and sign-up for my mailing list for the latest news about my music. Also if you really like my music and want to support me, sign-up to be a E-Team member!! What is a E-Team member? Street teams are a group of music fans that are willing to spread the word about your band on the street. They tend to want to hand out band swag (CDs, stickers, pins, flyers) to friends, family members, and other acquaintances or music lovers. In most cases, street teamers are rewarded by special prize packs, pre-sale tickets, exclusive contests to meet the band and so on... Welcome to the concept of the e-team. The idea of an e-team is pretty much the same as a street team except e-teamers spread the word online rather than on the streets. You (fans) can now do most of the work from your computer. It's also a cost efficient alternative to a real street team. There's a lot of avenues for promotion online. You want to know more? Click here... Blue Ball reviewed by Taxi My song Blue Ball was reviewed by Taxi (The World's Leading Independent A&R Company). Style This track is somewhere within the electronica scene but flirts with a subtle house feel while incorporating funk, jazz, and some addition percussion that surpasses any simple house beat. Melody There are layers that fulfill melodic space like the guitar and sax but they are more groove oriented rather than memorable melodies. Structure Structurally the track is free to move in whatever direction it chooses. The pace shifts from manic to more consistent but does return to thematic parts later on. Overall Comments Hi Miguel, Firstly, thanks for submitting the song. I enjoyed listening as the the layering was provocative and engaging throughout. As far as production, I found it to be sonically very pleasing. There were some cool elements like the filtered guitar licks and later looped sax line that complimented the momentum of the song and acted as the familiar motifs. The structure is fairly loose and until later returning to some prior ambiguous themes, it almost feels like a DJ mix due to the fast pace thick arrangement. The first half of the song seems to shift gears rather quickly while is spaces things out a bit later on. I like being surprised but the repetition seems to work best for this style. I hear it being more of a setting for an energetic lounge although it could work in various settings including clubs and t.v. placements etc. I would definitely suggest making a condensed version that could be accessible for placements, where the different motifs are present without necessitating a music supervisor to sit through the entire piece before deciding it fits. Overall, I found the track to be really enjoyable and filled with flavor. I really liked the use of sounds and samples as there were musical attributes rather than solely synth sounds that tend to surface often in various electronica genres. I think there is a wide appeal to the track because of it's crossover into house, funk, jazz, etc. Very cool track, I'm a fan. Overall Rate  Release of my first album on iTunes
