#195 Really well produced tune this is in every aspect. Reminds me a little of Teebee. That oriental / mid eastern flute or horn stuff is dope, goes well with everything. Nice reesy sounds as well. Crsip beats, like the bells. Can't really fault this tune, mixdown, arrangement, selection and vibes are wicked.

#197 Sci-fi brooding intro. Excellent buildup to the breakdown. The breakdown itself is brilliant, with the fx and bass! Another quality buildup. Drops nice and heavy as well, this is a quality tune. Good vibe all through the tune, and the production is right up there.

#166 Takes me back, bukem kinda intro but your own style. Crispy beats, and nice edits too. Rolling. Bassline is good as well - whole tune has got wicked production. The jazz break down towards the end is a nice touch, but a little too jazzy for me. Props for that still tho!

#172 Nice pad and beats on this. Beautiful intro, and good breakdown. Like the lead synth, this is a real nice chilled out tune, real quality production. Only thing that lets this down is theres no bassline. You must of had the bass on mute when bouncing or something. Thats a real shame man, you probably would have been in the 9s with the bass. Its still very good tho.

#174 Sweet intro, good vibes - love the use of the vocal. Funky beats are nice. Like the rolling synth building up. The pads are very good. It is a good idea but for me the tune doesn't sound quite right with the full vocal. (Maybe its because its Madonna!) Using just small bits of it might have been better, as the tune is proper rolling without the vocal all over it. You got some really good background fx in there as well. Gotta say this ones is like a rollercoaster, always changing which is good. Nice tune man.

#193 Superb intro, i love this kind of stuff. Real vibes but not too heavy until the drop. That bassline is so good! The vocal sample choice is excellent, really fits together well. Maybe the beats let this down a little tho, I didn't think they were crisp enough to go with everything else. Could eq and process a little to bring them out more. Overall nice tune.

#194 Wicked intro, like the hip hop beats and good fx in background. The snare could be a little brighter, but the beats are still rolling. The drop is nice, but I prefer that section before the breakdown, thats real nice. Dancefloor tuneage man.

#196 That vocal is good, but with the beats and pads it sounds so soulful. Deep bassline and rolling beats, I like this tune. I'm sorry tho man, I don't like so much the switchup with the bleeps, for me it kinda ruined the deep vibe you created. Thats only my personal taste though.

#173 The intro grabs straight away - like the interplay between all the synths. Grimey reese, and the half step beats nice. On the drop the reese doesn't quite hit the spot, maybe it could be a bit more weighty. The beats are good, but they do sound to far away. Also perhaps heavier snares and kicks would benefit the dark vibe. Good stuff though.

#199 Love the apache break! Those strings are wicked - where did you get them, I'm sure I recognise them. They go well with you tune. Drops nice, and I like how it develops. Good use of fx. Nice tune.

#200 Soulful chilled out tune, especialy like the beats. Good vocal sample, goes with the tune well. Good vibes overall, maybe you could add a small melody or in certain points of the track.
