beats are well produced mate, the guy voc works very well, the darkness speaks for itself, i love those stabby tings, it seems like the old stop n starter at first then it rolls like me when i get a bag of w**d hehe, bad tune mate

this is a tune this, well produced, bad chilling intro, right up my street man, the beats are sweet and the synths are nice, one thing i must say i didnt really like the guy vocal, i like what you have done with it but dont like the vocal from the start, bass is fat mate, n the eerie synths that vocal spoils it imo, imagine a quality female vocal or decent male vocal on that boom, would be well nice. each to their own though innit, gj mate


Gimlet by Bladetone: beats are nice, that pad

starts off pretty nice, chiling intro business the first beat sounds ok, i dont like that shaker though with that kick n snare, i like it when the other one comes in it sounds right then, bass is nice feeling the pattern allover, rolling now maybe an accompanying bass would have worked well, anyway gj whoever u are


Black Sky by Virus: i like some of the synths on

intro drums are damn nice, and all the sounds are nice, it just doesnt roll enough for me, i like the rollers and i got a bit bored halfway through, still a quality well produced tune though synrgy, u forgot to not add id3 hehe, dont worry nuff heads did it, anyway nice tune man just would prefer heaviness me in terms of a heavy drop n whatnot

i like the vibe of this tune, love ths ounds but its not fast enough for me, and a more obvious, heavier drop would have been better imo, still good though thats why it gets 6

intro, oooh nice, that vocal is fat as fuck bad eerie, reminds me of terminator the mad reverbed drums, and the vocal reminds me of the peppered guy in apocalypse now, (the "your an errend boy" guy). i like the drop, its a bit mad and not something id normally do but i am into it one thing ill say is i dont think it had enuff beatage on it, or they wasnt played in enough or something or maybe synths, i dunno the track just felt a tad empty to me, nice though man

wasnt really into this one, thing is u could have chosen well better tune to remix, maybe u just like this tune i dont know but i dont think it works well as a dnb remix, now a pac or nas tune is a diff story, but im rambling on here back to tune, the beats are pretty nice and the bass is ok, just not my thing


Step Aside by DJ Shiver: the intro is really

the intro is really interesting on this track, i love whatever loop that is in the background the guys voice or whatever, its eerie that, drums are ok i dont like those rapid bdrum fills though, too often for me, i thought wtf when i heard that vocal mad , like some fucking translyvanian shit or summot, hehe, i dont know what to think, yeah im not feeling the step aside, i like the bass though pretty unique, not a bad tune just not my cup of tea

beats are nice, love the snares, the main synth got a bit annoying after a while, the bass is alright, nothing jumped out and grabbed me from this track though
