Nice minimalistic eerie intro, feeling how the drums come in, drums are rolling nice man, feeling the snare. Nice reversed cymbal, sounds familiar this track, cant think where ive heard it. Cant really judge the sub proper not on monitors, soz. Nice tune though, bigups.

Ohh this sounds very nice indeed, lovely intro strings, nice pad/synth. Feeling the bass sound, wheres the eerie space film sample? would fit perfectly on that intro. Drums are pretty nice, Bline is nice, sounds better when its rolling more. Pretty fat track, I thought it got a it monotonous though with that same bline. Bigups

Haha noway, feeling this. Never thought of remixing it, did you just bodge the parts yourself or has some kind of remix pack been issued? Im guessing its not the latter, drums are ok, bline is bad man, bit fuzzy but defo feeling it. Hehe sounds mad, I like.

Like that vocal, like the perc and bg pads. Whats it off this voc? Congas are really nice, not feeling the snare that much, I feel you could have used something a lot more fitting tbh. Bline sounds good, doesnt seem like it belongs in this tune with that vocal though,was expecting liquid. Drop is alright, bit allover the place for me though. Good track just not my thing.

Nice voc samps, drums seem good, nice junglyness.I like the delayed fx, strings are nice, seem bad low though. I like what youve done with the vocal man defo, feeling the bline but its quite low too, would have liked some in your face business there me. Nice tune though , bigups.

Another remix, sounds alright. Drums seem weak though n not feeling that bass that much. It all happens too quick for me, I like some buildup and suspense. Its ok just seems a little empty and flimsy.


Necrophobia by Harikiri: Nice intro, fx/pads/synths

Nice intro, fx/pads/synths all nice, voc samp is heavy. Not too keen on them intro drums, just the pattern of em I think. Im not into the drum patterns as a whole really, but thats coz I dont like proper neuro style drums, bear kicks. Good tune not by bag though.
