not bad again. I quite like the intro on this one. The basslines are good especially the distorted 808. I think the riff could be a bit more catchy, its a bit dark for my liking. there are some nice samples used in this track. the beat sounds quite nice with the ride cyms

I think this tune is ok. the beat is ok and it has quite a catchy riff. The sub bass is nice and loud. I find the track at bit too chilled out for my liking. I usually like my tunes to be a bit more jump up and have alot of energy to them.

I quite like this tune, the beat is not bad but could be a bit more punchy. The basslines are pretty heavy and the lead at the start is nice. I think the tune needs more sub bass. Also it could do with some more fx and speech samples.

I am not about this one. The beats sound a bit too old skool for my liking. I don't really like the basslines used and the riff is not catchy enough. The pad used is quite nice.


Control by Harikiri: I am not very keen on this

I am not very keen on this one. The beat is weak. The kick and snare needs to be more punchy. I don't really like the samples used in this track. Too dark for me.


Nightmares by Noctuary: I don't like this track

I don't like this track much, There is no impact at the drop. I like don't like the speech samples used in this track. I don't think the structure of the track  is right.

I don't know what this tune is all about! I don't no if this tune is suposed to be a remix of Papau New Guinea. It sounds like a complete copy of the High contrast remix of Papau New Guinea and for that reason I am giving this tune a 1 for being totally un-original!
