210 - the bass episode.  Now this track has some quality samples in it, which work well for it, and it has a good vibe as a result.  Breakdown and buildup to 2nd drop is really good too.  I think that whomping bass synth might be too loud.  Great choice of vocal samples.


Hold Up!First off - props

Hold Up!
First off - props for even attempting this man.  I really love the way you tranced out the melody, that sounds wicked.
The bassline is seriously fat, just rolls.  The breakdown is awesome from mellow to rough nicely done.
Your production is tight , everything sounds clear.
Only thing I could say, but thats just being picky i guess is maybe you don't need so much of the vocal in there.
Well done though, pulled it off very well.

Nice remix,glad i wasnt the only one to remix a tune this compo. Nicely mixed, feeling that heavy bass line, and pads in this. The only complaint with this tune is the snare sounds abit weak, but not so bad that it breaks the vibe of the tune. Solid remix dude.


An interesting cover

An interesting cover version, this one. The intro's great, and the buildup works really well. When it drops, though, the vox are far too quiet; if I didn't know the vox already then I'd have trouble making them out.

I like the addition of the pads, they work really well; the breakdown at 2.33 (ish) has a lovely High Contrast-style bass running through it, love that sound.

I can't think of much else to say about this one, sorry dude. It's not my favourite in the compo, but it's still pretty damn good.

i like where this is goin but ive never been a fan of remixes in botb, hahaha this is fuckin great! "hold up!"  but seriously i reckon the sub could be deeper and the melody gets abit monotonous, but this really has brightened my day great effort!!!

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.


Liked the intro…

Liked the intro… wasn’t keen on the synth melody after the first drop though.. sounded a bit cheesy.  Sorry!  Nice bass though.. and nice atmospherics too.  I liked the build up to the second breakdown… although I’m afraid it was a bit too epic for me… again didn’t like the synth work in the breakdown… good drop though!  Maybe bring the beats in the mix up a bit?  Nice rolls on the beats. 

big start, hope U live up to

big start, hope U live up to the fame of this track, lol!!!! BIG TASK rmxin a successful tune!

that snares too weak from the start, it chokes as soon as it comes in, (sounds like a blatant reason samp as well, lol)...bass is cool, but the drums lack alot of dynamics so they get eaten...mixdown needs sortin, vox gets drowned out a little... luvin the idea, but i don't think U pulled this one off v.well... can't really hear much 'work' in this, theres no dramatic changes to the drums (fills, break, etc) bass hasn't bin worked either, sounds straight out the box....

basically, lots to do imo :s
