Another dark tune....Those drums are crisp as fuck,that voice samp is hot,it sounds like the voices of these aliens in this game im playin called Prey lol. Damn....that beat hits so hard,this sounds like something evol intent would make . Sounds like a pro made this man,this has to be one of the tracks that wins...its just too fucking good. Not even my fav style of d&b but still,you can tell just how good it is by how it sounds. Once again, like a pro made this. Nothing much to say,its a hit,would be suprised if this didnt win.

You know what?  I'm not even going to waste your time with my criticisms, because you're clearly better at this than I am.  This is quite possibly the best track I've heard come from this website, ever.  Basically, look at my review for track #164, and take away all the stuff I said about his amen.  That's basically what I think of this track.  Flawless.

Honestly, I think this one sounds more polished than the one I already gave a 10.  So know that if I could have, I would have given you a 10.1

I am simply amazed that these tracks are coming out of this competition.  I'm starting to feel really bad about my own work.  Eye-wink


This sort of tune's not

This sort of tune's not normally my thing but, I actually can't find fault with it. it's been produced to an amazingly high standard and I've got to give it ten. Well done, fucking awesome job.....i want to be able to buy this on wax soon!

wow, this should be signed!

wow, this should be signed! great noisia style beats there, mixdown sounds great too very clear but still very loud. the breakdown works great, really builds tension in the song with the 4/4 kick. i dont know what else to add it all sounds up to release standard to me. well done.

165 - Dark, aggressive,

165 - Dark, aggressive, atmospheric.  I can tell this one is going to be a smasher.  Good selection of sounds, with punchy drums and groove.  Cool vocal sample.  The mix is fucking tight, everything placed well.  I can see this one going on vinyl. Those snares really crack off like gunshots....are there vocal clips hidden in those hits?  Whatever, it sounds brutal and heavy. A serious heavyweight contender in this comp.


#165.  I getting bored of

#165.  I getting bored of saying this in this contest, but this is another good intro!  Lots of sinister sounds flying about, building up nicely.  Like the vocal in th breakdown.  Drops heavy, the beats are fucking sweet.... this is soulful darkside rolling business.  Mix is very good as well.


loving this one very dirty,

Submitted by Golem on Fri, 2006-10-27 11:25.

loving this one very dirty, intro reeses are nice, i feel its missing alot of stuff the drop seems empty, theres no sub bass and some of the reese's sound quite cheap where as some are really nice i think this tune gets boring quite easily no offense but with more work this tune could be an absolute dancefloor filler m8 i guarantee but is too empty.

this one is gonna be a heavy

Submitted by Royalston on Thu, 2006-10-26 00:44.

this one is gonna be a heavy track....you can tell straight away.

nice edited intro. good punchy elements.

drop - heavy. very nice. punchy clear and a good kind of nasty - not noisy, just heavy. This one is the best Ive heard so far.

My only comment production wise - kick could have more punch. 80-100hz Thats the only area where it feels weak...thats being picky though. Smiling

good jobb on this one! its

intro sounding pretty nice and eerie, that samp is fat. fx sound good, bass sounding pretty nice n dark, gotta say though i dont really like tunes that are stoppy and starty if u get me, slow paced. they work for some people but i prefer making rollers. ye man aside from how choppy it is i like it, bigup


pretty dark. nice tech-itch

nice! i am honored. and i definitely appreciate everyone's comments and honest criticism, as always. that shit is really how i have come so far in the 10 months since i began seriously layin shit down.

Anyway... i still need to spruce up the second breakdown a bit i reckon, and fine-tune some eq's, then i gotta try to find the aim's for labels who release this type of stuff - i.e. freak, tech-itch, tech-freak, barcode, evol intent recordings, killing sheep, etc... feel free to share in any knowledge you may have on this subject Bow

this is the first track i feel somewhat okay about submitting to any labels... although i have no expectations, i'm satisfied enough for now with winning here on botb Eye-wink

Dude, Ur trax sick!:sick: 

Great atmosphere created (something I personally love in gud Tek-D&B) This is def one I'm gonna keep playin for time to come!!!! Bow

I'd break it up abit, to make it more spontanious and fill in alot of the breathing space you've left around the drops, put some extra kick in the ass if U get, so there's no respite,lol...I guess that what a remix is for...fancy it?...Puzzled
