Nice one Gloops, always up for anything in this genre 
Whats the deal with the vocal samples then?

I like.
Couple of strange things going on in the mix though (disclaimer:laptop speakers). The Rhodes sounds curiously "static". You put a short delay and/or room reverb on it? If anything at all, I'd (sparingly) use a phase or slow leslie effect, just to give a sense of motion and space. Maybe it'd work better with a clav or acoustic piano sound. I like the lead synth too, but it does sound a bit removed from the rest of the music, almost like you'd plonked a tape recorder in your living room and recorded yourself playing along to a record, if that makes sense.

Cheers people..
Steve... Yeah the vocals probably are a bit out of time in places.. it's the problem with using downloaded acappella samples, they never fit 100%... I could probably do a bit of audio warping to get them to fit better...
Manc Chris.. the samples were downloaded from a website.. I forget where.. Not actually heard the original just thought they'd fit okay over the disco beat and guitar riffs i'd written.
Clueless. I think you right about the rhodes.. A little bit of movement would help. The synth (and in fact the rhodes) are both going though a very quick short slapback delay, this was to give it the feeling of being cheaplu recorded and played in a living room.. so I guess it kinda worked! I wanted it to almost sound organic and slightly live rather than purely electronic..

just trying to artifically age it a bit... to sound a bit old hat rather than something new and cutting edge. it was either that or party noises or some other background ambience type thing...

Cheers Xander...
I think your right in that a bit of mastering verb would probably help gel things a little. I'm alway reluctant to put any reverb on anything these day. It's too easy to end up using too much!
Funny you should say beatbox... Bonte actually provided me with the drums.. but I was trying to get him to provide a beatbox version to use in places.. unfortunetly he refused!
