you were really going for broke on this tune and it paid off big time! Sounds ill! I think this tune could get dropped in any dnb rave in london and people would go ape shit! Good work mate!

241 - Mixed Beauty - I like the tabla in there, it works well especially when it drops.  Mix is pretty tight and the main bass riff is very cool but needs more variation.  Sub could be a tiny bit stronger too.  Good energy to this track.


Very chilled out

Very chilled out intro,i like the tribal beatz. Beatz sound crispy, nice synth sounds. When the main beat kicks in it rolls out nice,great progression in this tune. One of my Favs in this compo, niceone

really like the start to this tune sets the atmosphere just right and the panning is good - although when the drums kick in at first just seems like they need a bit more beef or maybe just a different snare completely or maybe layering it with another snare after one of the breakdowns??? - the reese is very nice and sits well with the sub. Overall levels wise the tune sounds pretty good to me (all sits well) and the structure is good keeps the listener interested and has a good build and drop after the main breakdown- if you changed the drums this could be a signable track in my opinion - congrats whoever made this Smiling

i thought this was a slightly strange track to listen to arrangement wise. 
the buildup to the first drop i didn't like much, but the 2nd drop buildup is wicked! 
nice little tease with that vocal.  gotta say i wasn't feeling those trance type kicks that come in at the end of some sections.  and then after the 2nd drop the tune stops very soon, thought that was strange.  instead i think it would have been nice to hear a section with not so much going on in it, ie just sub no reese and maybe the pads over the top
i like the percussion in the intro, and the beats in general sound crisp.


nice intro, builds

nice intro, builds well..interestin use of Tabla's (i think thats what i can hear).  Drops good to, tho not my kinda thing.  I like your choice of fills too, the filter and 4x4 kicks are cool and keep the beat interesting. break well too but i think U should give the 2nd half of the track a diffrerent lead to keep it interesting because it quite samey and will get boring after a while


Nice darkside flavour! For

Nice darkside flavour! Smiling

For my tastes the cymbal is a touch too loud. The drop @ 1.25 might be a bit nicer if it was just the beat and the bass, a bit cleaner. The drop @ 4.30ish is sweet! Smiling Builds the tension a bit by holding off before dropping in. I would have liked a bit more bass, it seems a bit too downplayed in this.

I could imagine a dance floor skanking to this! i like this track, just needs a couple of tweaks and it'd be phat.


Intro sounds good, nice use

Intro sounds good, nice use of percussion and fx. That chilling calibre'y type pad is nice, could be wobbling and be layed out better. The drums sound pretty good, the snares quite weak though to be fair. The drops nice man, second 16 is proper rolling when the pad gets a bit more in your face, I didnt think this type of bline would suit the liquidness when it first dropped, but it does work. Not feeling that kick, its too dancey for this track Imo. Nice tune, just needs some attention in places I rate.
