oh yeah... this one sounds nice right off the bat... i would love to mix this one into a set. fuckin great percussion buildup/layering, great synths/sounds, great vox processing. oh yeah, plus it has my fave sample of all time in it Eye-wink however, stuff *i* would change:
arrangement wise> maybe sparse the drums a bit in the intro, so they hit harder on drop. and add a breakdown around a minute or 1:30. maybe use more of the synth stabs from the early portion - they work so well in the early half to kep things interesting _ spice it up a bit in the latter half too i guess, with some rev cyms and 'sparkle' shit. the synth at 2:39 works great, more of that!
i would also like to hear harder-hitting drums (punchier? more compressed/overdriven maybe?) and more sub, but chalk some of that up to personal pref. and my headphones perhaps...
maybe some more variation in drumfills, and breakdowns moved closer to a minute thirty and three thirty like i mentioned above?
but shit like i said> really feeling this one, it has my pick for winner.

nice  intro elements, but i always like to hear hats or something for mixability in there from the start. maybe recede the vox into the background a litle more. oooooooh nice bad-ass reese just dropped, fucking nice. damn, now we're movin... nice hard punchy drums too, good shit! maybe more variation/fills needed percussion-wise tho. real good mixdown here. heh that dude's vox fits good too. yeah i dig this one alot, good dirty shit. could use some arrangement variation with the reese/sub i guess, to keep it interesting between the breakdowns (which are right where they sould be imho)... but you could chalk that to personal pref.

cool break, like the edits/fills too. maybe sparse it down in the intro a little more... or some highcut auto-sweeps maybe. this one is put together well melodically (is that a word?), i especially like the bassline, although it may be lacking sub freqs? excellent vocal cutting, really used them nicely.. maybe hot in the mids a bit? yeah, really nice synthwork too. perhaps could use a bit more fx & 'sparkle' elements here and there, like some automated filter sweeps and such. mixdown nice. overall very nice work!


Nasty Intentions Remix by Cut Short: sounds good from the start,

sounds good from the start, nice progression... great musical melody, nice vox drop... perhaps spice it up in this breakdown with some sparkle shit tho, it's a tad bare i guess. aw yeah, great drop! nice beats, sub moves good, great energy here. definitely a little jazzier/lighter than my taste, but notwithstanding that - this track is really good in my opinion. great arrangement, great mixdown/fx... sounds fuckin pro, really. like i said, maybe a little sparkle/variation here and there (drumfills/revcyms/stabs and such) to really polish it off. sounds a little quiet too.


Twist ( Nasty Intentions rmx) by Sylock: like the halftempo beats.

Submitted by ruffian on Thu, 2007-01-04 04:50.

like the halftempo beats. good vox choopage,,, supatrigger? glitch? vox might be a tad hot (in lows/mids maybe?) compared to drums. oooh nice drop at 1:04, really like that beat. synths and bass work good with it too. again vox too hot tho methinks. awww shit, those higher-pitched delay synth stabs that kick in at 2:08 are fucking nice. more of them earlier would be nice. maybe a little more stereo variation and eqing needed in the bassline synths, some of them get a bit muddied together on certain notes. yeah i really like alot of the elements that come in as the track moves along, good dark rolling vibe kickin here. really gains momentum as we roll. that high-pitched cricket synth is nice too, might be a little loud...
all the fucking awesome elements come in kinda late for my taste, maybe a little re-arrangement of them to get them into focus earlier and really let the vibe pickup speed sooner.
yeah i could definitely hear this one dropping hard into one of my live sets... Eye-wink

aww yeah, love the half-tempo vibe. nice saws. good vox processing too, maybe woulda stereospread and/or panned the vox a bit more tho? still sounds good anyway. i think the kick needs some more eqing, get rid of the <70 freq. i like the arrangement and musical progression here. and damn, the change in the groove at around 1:55 is fucking awesome! i would make that my main groove, really energizes the track...

how come everyone seems to have a breakdown or something at 2:30? maybe i'm just not hip to the new trend yet Eye-wink

ouch, those mid-highs hurt! but that percussion kicks ass. real nice. cool vocal editing too, i like the eq variation in the intro. do i hear clipping a tiny bit at the drop @ 1:29? also needs more eq work on the break that layers @ 1:51. again, really like the drum arrangement. i may have changed the organ notes to be a tad darker, those chords feel weird to me. i like all the other synths, they work well together. overall arrangement cool but needs more eq for those painful mids/mid-highs.

Nasty Intentions (Kinematic Hardcore remix) by Kinematic Sound System: aw yeah, fucking HARD

ruffian's picture
Submitted by ruffian on Thu, 2007-01-04 04:23.

aw yeah, fucking HARD CORE!!! NICE.
hard-hitting kick, a must. good rev cyms, good energy build, good vocal drop. maybe some change-ups every bar or so on the main synth, like move everything up a note for a bar then down a note for a bar, etc. keep it interesting...
a HA! there it is, at 2:08. exactly like i was picturing, and creatively adding! that is fucking crazy Smiling good stuff. maybe have that in the intro too? real nice mixdown tho. maybe just a bit more delay and less volume on the vox to put it in the background, and keep the focus on the kick and main synth - the real heart of a good hard track imho.
other than those relatively minor gripes, i must say, to me this sounds like a pro-produced hardcore track.
this one would prolly be at or near my top pick for the b-side of the vinyl prize.

nice and loud...vocal maybe too loud in relation, personal pref perhaps. fucking love the breaks man, nice work. unsure about the sub, maybe my phones don't represent it well. might be nice to give the ears a break from the warping intro synths, which really never stop throughout the track... (except briefly in the second breakdown.) hehe nice porn vox Eye-wink you made it match well with the other vocal. i like the sweeping synth-stabline, that element may be nice earlier in the track? the dominator-like synth towards the end may be a bit hot. maybe needs a bit of mixdown fine tuning. overall quite well done, i suppose my only major gripe is in the arrangement, and that could be construed largely as a matter of personal preference.

And The Winner Is...... by scotty dogg: nice tripped out sounds in

nice tripped out sounds in intro, maybe a bit over-delayed, but cool. some hats from the top would be cool for deejaying purposes. this mixdown sounds real nice, each element in it's own freq-space. maybe hot in mid-sub (kick range) and not enough in low-sub? so hard to fucking tell sub in these phones. the sweeping delay-synth line might be a little overused, some blocks without it might be cool. i really like the drumedits that are introduced in the end. earlier might be cool. it ends too abruptly, and could be like a minute longer too.

i like the break, it's unique... sounds like maybe it has some off beats here and there? like one little hit that's 1/64-off at the end of each bar or so. the vox sounds off too... perhaps this was intended? it definitely has a unique feel overall, with the off-beat stuff happening and the synth line it gives it kind of a glitchy-idm type of vibe. kudos on that tip, i would like to hear more of this type of style...
i might arrange the kicks a little different, and maybe fine-tune eq here and there to get rid of hiss/mud.

i don't like the sweeping osc sample in the beginning, would be overall improvement to ditch that and the cg vox at very start. sounds fuckin nice after that tho... perfect mixdown, absolutely love that pad, builds great... but at 42 secs in, when the main bline/groove kick in, the bass/pad pattern arrangement lacks something for me. it sets a decent enough vibe, but i think it could be better. don't like the osc-synths tho, sound too fruity preset (not that they necessarily are.) great use of the hip-hop vox around the essence vocals, although i don't like the way you repeat 'nasty'. maybe too hot on the high/mid-hi freq's? that and not enough sub (again maybe my phones?) are my only mixdown complaints. shit is gettin tighter and tighter tho...much like in my own work, i can definitely feel the skill-progression-vibe in each successive bluntman track. keep it rollin'

would like to hear more processing in the intro string-pad-synth, i like the arrangement of everything quite a bit... especially the b-line. yeah this vibe is right up my alley. overall i would have to say that everything needs more processing, cept maybe the drums... they could use another layer each of kick and snare if you ask me tho. decent mixdown, maybe needs more hi/mid-hi? again overall real nice arrangement/patterns, except it seems to cutoff like 2/3 in. gotta hear the rest. maybe this is one of the tracks that didn't upload all the way?

i like the intro, maybe the kicks have too much low end. nice punchy drums tho! great processing of the vox too, prolly the best vox processing in the comp i daresay Eye-wink real nice arrangement/drum-edits too. and mixdown, cept a little more subtractive eq work here and there. the b-line ain't really my style (i would like to hear more distortion/processing - grimey dirty shit), but it works real nice. damn, too bad it cuts off. this one could be my pick for the a-side winner, if i could hear the rest to see how the vibe rolls... until then, gotta minus at least a few whole numbers Sad
