feeling this mr obscure Sticking out tongue well done for this one i think your skill has improved greatly since we first met your style has evolved aswell from jumpy rollers to dark rolling jumpers! loving the samples in this tune i think this is your best tune IMO very intensifying  bass is nice and deep and the levels on this tune are nice ! well done m8

loving the intro synths very nice! drum sequence on intro seems nice but i dont think it fits 2 well with the chime/synth sound love the breakdown flowed quite smooth bass is quite nice drop is cool man it rolls quite well, i think break needs more work imo but nice tune overall!

Gimlet by Bladetone: break is nice in this m8

break is nice in this m8 feeling the intro love those chilling keys! really nice n smooth Smiling fucking loving the squelchy bass coming in it sounds really phat.....waiting for drop......dissapointed.......u should have taken the keys out and have a break and bass solo would sound much better because the darkness of bass and chilling of the pads and keys clashes real let down sorry otherwise well produced!

Black Sky by Virus: tune is nice but it should

Submitted by Golem on Thu, 2006-05-25 20:23.

tune is nice but it should drop straight away it should have an intro, loving those high synths bass is also nice but u should definately have an intro it will keep the interest as i lose it about half way....Sad really well produced levels are spot on!

butterfly in silver by synrgy: loving the intro break

Submitted by Golem on Thu, 2006-05-25 21:11.

loving the intro break atmosphere is nice man pad that accompanies it is also nice, very nice vibe oldskool mixed with ambient seems 2 work well for intro waiting for drop Smiling......................... not keen on drop it seems 2 forever progress i dont like the high tone synths sounds too techno electronica style but good mastering very nice quality!

Light Crust Doughboys by 822: its good mate but its really

its good mate but its really too skippy and doesnt varie enough imo well produced love the beat stretching and the crazy samples!

BrockIT by Terra-Rise: this has been made on reason

Submitted by Golem on Thu, 2006-05-25 21:00.

this has been made on reason hasnt it??? i can tell because of the samples used i can tell a mile away uve used pretty much the whole factory sound bank here lol u should try n make your own samples and if u r gonna use premade samples tweek them so they sound different at least you cant take credit for something that isnt your own!!! i found the classical string sound not 2 my liking but i like the  drop very nice like the dark saw bass very nice !!!

Hack A Hip by DMJ A.K.A Jossi: not really feeling this one

Submitted by Golem on Thu, 2006-05-25 20:33.

not really feeling this one m8 im not keen on the high synths they sound 2 .......random m8 like u used a matrix or just randomly generated some notes but somepeople like that sound where as i dont but well produced nice mastering levels Smiling

Obsessions by Decide: love the sounds m8 but it

love the sounds m8 but it isnt dnb so that puts my vote way down theres a downtempo competition on www.badjazz.com its hosted by crank so its relatively similar!

Missy Says (Cop that shit) by QuiVeR: feeling the little remix of

Submitted by Golem on Thu, 2006-05-25 21:07.

feeling the little remix of one minute man doesnt fit with pad at all or the synth that comes in, or the lead that comes in after amen needs alot more punch m8 very weak so does bass not really feeling this the elements clash way too much, urban - chillout-dark and techy all in one tune im sorry but it doesnt fit!
