Energy right from the off, and doesn't really let up all the way through.  wicked techy sounds, vocals, and rolling bassline... like the drop.  this sounds crisp even at 128, and the mix is very good. 


Global Threat by Vex: This tunes heavy man!  Love

This tunes heavy man!  Love that vocal but i don't think you can duck and cover from this tune though... nice changeups with the beats, basslines heavy.  Personally i'd like to hear a little more melody in the tune though.


urza by infest: Very eerie vibes with this

Very eerie vibes with this tune, i like your style.  It wouldn't sound out of place on Covert Operations.  I think this mixed well, theres no elements clashing, and the beats and bass are tight.  Good tune man.


trial (working title) by synrgy + empyr: Like the vocal sample in

Like the vocal sample in this tune as well.  Drums are crystal, aprt from a couple of fast edits which are too loud. You got a good vibe with the tune, although maybe you could add more bass, I can hear it but not clear enough.  This would kick it with some more bass though.


Freak Show by DJ Shiver: Nice track man.  Beats and

Nice track man.  Beats and bass are tight, right at the the front of the mix.  Like your intro with the built up of beats, and a wicked drop as well.  The only critisism i have is the synth that comes in at the end of 4 or 8 bar sections..... Personally I think maybe you could either go darker and more gnarly with it, or swap it for a pad kinda thing.


bodycount by mabus: I like vibe of this, but it

I like vibe of this, but it just takes too long to get going, and the main part ends too quickly.  Love the beats, they really go well.  i think you could layer some sub on the bass.


Nevertheless by Kondencuotas Pienas: You got some good sounds

You got some good sounds going on here, its a nice ambient vibe.  I think you could develope the whole tune more, as it gets a little repetitive, i was just waiting for something else to come into play. 


no tommorow by dj obscure: I like the rising amens..

I like the rising amens.. but also if you can do that, you should do more variations and edits with the beats.  The vocal samples are quite spooky, and you could heighten that with some more pads and melody.


Undertone by Override and PolyFonix: This one is sounding nice,

This one is sounding nice, it shame that its been cut off i was just getting into it.  Beats are good, like the contrasting snares and the vocal fits in there nice.  Production wise its better than some tracks, but coz its not the whole tune i'm only giving it a 5.5  Sorry man


Headlines by DMJ A.K.A Jossi: Sorry i'm not feeling this

Sorry i'm not feeling this one at all.  There is some good production, like fx and edits, but for me this tune lacks any lasting impression.


by : I think you could use more

I think you could use more sub bass in this along with some pads.  I would def change things up more with the beats and melodies.


wait to sleep by robad pills: I don't know what to say

I don't know what to say about this..... possibly a new genre of music, maybe you could get it in a video game or something.  Don't think this dnb though.
