I started a band a few months ago and we've recorded a few songs. I hope you guys like it! It is a bit poppy but also distinctly electronic because I make the beats/play the keys The idea was to blend Electronic beats with blues melodies and lyrics.
we have a soundcloud page and these are the tracks that I would like to highlight:
Satisfied: a very danceable 8 minute jam. we use this to close our set.

Laying tracks: our most finished and radio friendly track.

Your Summer Groove: this is what I made today. a first attempt at reggae/moombah. I'm really curious what the other band members come up with to complement this Beware: It changes from 90 to 160 bpm halfway because I couldn't decide whether this should be a slow jam or a fast bubbling like track.

Nice work, cool stuff.
The tempo change in Your Summer Groove works, but if this is not considered a finished track, you might consider splitting it into Parts 1 & 2.
The rest of the MDB tracks are also enjoyable. Rue Des Talus v2 is smooth; I like the female vocals in it, which are also awesome in Laying Tracks. Mary Jane has a nice groove, although I'm biased...in love with Mary Jane and all...
Oh, and the fuller sound on Satisfied (extended) is awesome. I'm sure the one you highlighted is more collaborative, but I dig the raw beats on this one.
