oh yeah, a creepy one... heh that vox is awesome. this one strikes me as very dj-hidden-esque (one of my fave producers). maybe bring up the background pads in the intro a bit? nice rolling drums... GREAT mixdown too. Everything is defined, crisp. "Nightmares finished", left that bit in the tag... but an accurate title. With a tune this style, i would like to hear a hard drop with another layer of kick/snare, maybe a reeced out hook line or hit here and there. what is there sounds fucking great, just needs another layer of nastiness on top Eye-wink I do like that creepy organ around 4:30, the tune really builds momentum from that point... maybe do that sooner. nice one tho, another contender for the win in my book.


Intro is awesome. Loads

Intro is awesome. Loads going on. The two bars befor the first drops really buiil up nicely. This is one of those tracks where you have to step back and appreciate all of the little sounds and details. The softening up of the outro is also cool. I can tell a lot of attention was payed upon production.

207 - Nightmares - Sounds pretty dark from the off.  This track has a lot of things going for it in the but it never quite lifts off like I want it to.  The drums don't quite smack it for me, even after some decent buildups.  Either more layers, better sample selection or more aggressive processing are needed.  There are some good sounds and samples chosen but they aren't too cleanly mixed, making it a bit muddy.  Good atmospheres and synths though.  Seems slightly long.


Track 207 –

Track 207 – Combination of funk and tech elements. The vocals make me feel uncomfortable Sticking out tongue. Definitely has darkness, but I don’t think it comes across quite as intended. Percussion isn’t upfront enough for a track of this nature which is an immediate pitfall. Needs some EQ and compression work to get it upfront. 50 second breakdown is a bit excessive for a tech tune if it was to get to the floor, but as a piece on its own interesting to listen to. Not a bad tune overall. Not really in my tastes, but still a good stab. 7

luvin this intro...jesus, makes me feel soooooo inferior :s...lol U need a slight LP filter on the top of that sample tho to clean up the 'white noise' , if U get wot i mean....

duzn't drop very hard tho :s....maybe use a harder drum kit, as is its abit drowsy...production if fine tho...lev'd out nicely...turn up that distorted reese thing U got warpin in between the bass stabs tho

really lyk the synth U brought in...maybe give us a taste of that in the first drop, or sum8 similar? :s i dunno...trax got lots mor potential, jus needs a boost of life.

Some darkness, only two dark tracks this time. Nice beats and backround,great bass & pads. That voice sample is crazy, fits the tone of the song. Alittle long for me, but thats just my taste, solid tune.

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.
