#154.  This tune goes in strong from the off.  Heavy beats and vibes.  Like the breakdown, and the drop is deadly as well.  Kinda funky beats which are different to the norm.  This tune is proper angry!  Got to say this is darker than I usually like, but I could imagine the damage this would cause in a rave.  All round well produced tune. Love the outro, thats phat.

154 - shores of the unknown - Starts well, nice atmospheres and vibe and the vocals go well. Good layering of sounds.  When it drops at 1:30 it kicks arse. 

Proper floorsmasher this one, nice power behind it, though slightly thin sounding mix.  The snares really lack weight.  That high-up synth reminds me of the music for Wipeout2097 for some reason.

Good riffage for dnb too, and I like the way it goes from brutal to euphoric at the end.  I love the general vibe in this one, good work, it just needs some phattening up a tad in the mixing and some mastering.


wow this tune is real nice,

wow this tune is real nice, amen is nice on intro pads and vocal is cool too love that reverse break, fx is heavy m8.....:( but i dont really like the drop i think this tune could be better with more sub and reese notation, a really good intro, i was expecting a real nasty darkside tune (which i love) but im not keen on this drop much, mastering quality is super nice but i recommend a more solid bassline.
this tune was my favorite to win when i heard the intro!

oooh this intro sounds like

oooh this intro sounds like my kind of track! that vocoded shit sounds perfect. a little too much leadsynthwork for my taste, perhaps i would've used it a bit more sparingly? that's nitpicking too Eye-wink love that vocal stab at 1:52, and the drumedit just before it... very nice. right up my alley. hard to tell thru my headphones, but the sub seems to be lacking a bit in the low freqs. some bars without the siren-like drone would be nice, to add some variation. other than that, nice arrangement. easily mixable, the way i like it Eye-wink the scratch-like sounds before the second drop seem a bit out of place - too hot on the mids or velocity perhaps? more drumedits like the one at 1:52 would be nice to hear too... the outro strings could use a bit more eqing, some nasty highs coming thru somewhere there. overall very nice work!

straightaway this track is appealing, the perc sounds good, the pads and synths sound good, love the reverses. the samp fits well with the other sounds. the only thing i dont like about it is the stabbiness of the bass, its sorta like u know whats in front of u soon as u realise what type of tune it is and what sort of bass it has, just got a bit boring after a while, very well produced and good ideas all round though, bigup i do like this track.

Whoa this is a stomper! i like this a lot, its really original and has a lot of levels that reveal themselves throughout it. I thought ythe drums seemed a bit quiet also the high end noisy business could do with more definition. Other than that, this is a brilliantly produced slice of darkness. nice one

First off,sick intro.....that robotic voice goes great with it. When the main beat kicks in that synth is hot,good beat and backround,well produced and mixed well,sounds like something a tech itch or a diesilboy would make .The main beat,the boom tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,....would have like to hear that change up,but thats just my taste. Nothing wrong with it on the production aspects,sick tune


the moment this track starts

the moment this track starts you know its going to be heavy. and it doesn't disappoint. a good dark track without trying too hard to be super dark, i did get a little bored of that beat, would have liked to maybe hear some different breaks chucked in really distorted just randomly. when you had some double kicks in there, that really worked well i though, makes you feel like you are getting kicked in the stomach Sticking out tongue and i also wanted to hear more of that square wave you tease us with .. nice work though, heavy stuff.

nice intro but the drums are

Submitted by Royalston on Thu, 2006-10-26 06:00.

nice intro but the drums are muddied - theres too much competing with them

drop - drums too quiet. No bass. no sub really either.

still, not bad Smiling

poor limewax style tune, not

poor limewax style tune, not really my favourite style, but still. the edits could be much more interesting, you forgot to put james brown "uh"s in like most anything tech itch-influenced, i supppose the "go" makes up for that Sticking out tongue. overall pretty good effort. as i said, not my style though
