Battle of the beats 2006 - VI: reviews by Dj Obscure
straightaway this track is appealing, the perc sounds good, the pads and synths sound good, love the reverses. the samp fits well with the other sounds. the only thing i dont like about it is the stabbiness of the bass, its sorta like u know whats in front of u soon as u realise what type of tune it is and what sort of bass it has, just got a bit boring after a while, very well produced and good ideas all round though, bigup i do like this track. 
obviously i know who this i by, and i dont want anyone to think theres anything suspect going on, the only reason im giving this such a score is coz it deserves it! intro is interesting, perc is sweet, and quality seems nigh on perfect. bass is nice, maybe could have been a tad heavier if u worked on it longer, which no doubt u will.synths and pads and samples are heavy. the swing section of the beatage is fat, and works exrtremely well in this typa tune. bigup steph, one of my faves from u mate
soon as i heard this, i knew i had heard it b4, cant remember where like. I like the synth on the intro its funky. not that into the perc on the intro though. i like that reese, something about it that appeals to me. I think the beats arent heavy enough though, that high pitched thing that comes in is fat though. its rolling in parts this tune, i could think of loads of things to do to it to get it to my taste, but each to their own innit. good job pretty nice tune
i love that pad, its well chilling, exactly the sorta thing i like to use, i like the vocs, perc is quite interesting, nice fx. the second pad is sweet man, subs nice. the snare is a bit weak imo, and it defo needs more beats in my opinion, could defo be a heavy track with some more stuff on it. i think it needs a more obvious drop aswell. good tune though bigup
nice interesting perc on this one, the little pad/synth that comes in first is nice, second pad is really nice aswell. that vocal is very nice. first beat sounds okay, not that into that snare though really, i like the little reversed cymbal. sub is pretty nice although i expected more from the drop after hearing the intro, good tune though. 
intro sounding pretty nice and eerie, that samp is fat. fx sound good, bass sounding pretty nice n dark, gotta say though i dont really like tunes that are stoppy and starty if u get me, slow paced. they work for some people but i prefer making rollers. ye man aside from how choppy it is i like it, bigup
nice pad, nice n dark, beat seems good im liking it so far. i also like the other wierd synth that comes in, i like the pace of this one. not really into the drop to be honest, doesnt seem like it drops obviously enough, like with there not being much of a buildup. well produced though man, one cant please everyone though innit. 
intro sounds ok, the beats seem a little rough around the edges, no doubt intended though. the pads n stuff sound nice, sound too quiet though. i really like that sample, gives it a nice vibe with the synth thats rolling with it. bass sounded pretty nice, got a bit boring after a while though. there wasnt enough to this track imo which ultimatley let it down for me.
not that into this, it sounds alright but it doesnt sound like there was much effort put into it, seems a bit rushed or something, and like its missing stuff. the beats arent that heavy, the intro seems too bare. not saying its shit, just not my thing to be honest.
I like the perc, the voc seems pretty nice although not something id use. i thought the bass could have been introduced a bit more gradually, didnt really sound right to come in like it did. the drop sounds ok , but is lacking beats imo. not a bad track not into it that much though.
love the eerines of the intro when it begins, then when the guitar came in i thought ooh, spoilt it for me. i was expecting some sick darkness, which wasnt the case. not into the pella and the concept to be totally honest, the beats seemed ok, wasnt into the synths and shit that was to follow, soz, just not my thing this one.
i like the hats, dont really like that synth not really a sound id use. beat sounds pretty nice, i defo dont like the other synth that comes in, doesnt say dnb to me for some reason. dont be discouraged by comments though, this just isnt my thang at all. n sorry for the small comment, but i didnt really have much else to say
I like the pad on the intro, reminds me of twin peaks a bit. Not that into the beepy synth, i dont think it suits the pad. I dont like the perc on the intro too much. Beats seem a little weak. bass is alright, i dont really like all the synths over it though. pretty good track not really my thing though.
