"Haha, tune!"

submission: DJ Alx - Pills

This is a well good tune. I can totally imagine those pills being made as well. I would definitely go mental to this tune if it came on at a rave. Good work man.

"Hmmm, interesting..."

submission: ~{HN}~Defiance of Reality

I'm not sure if it's just the style I don't like or the synth. I like the pace of this piece, the beats and the bass line. It's all wicked. However i'm not a fan of the main leading synth. It definitely needs some sort of melody going on but I found it a little too chaotic to get me interested.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good piece of music and it is well produced. It's just the leading synth that I think could do with a little altering. I'd personally change the sound to something a little less tinny and work on a more simple melody.

Anyway, it's a good techno song. 5/5 8/10

Score: 9

"Heavy tune man."

submission: Rig - What if? (Opening Act)

date: April 17, 2008

I'd love to be making drum and bass like this, but it's so damn hard to do. The bass is really nice although I thought it could have done with a little more boosting of the lower frequencies.

If i'm totally honest, I don't think it needed any of the synthy stuff over the top. I thought it distracted from the deep dirty feel of the piece.

Anyway, i'm extremely envious, keep these coming if you can.

"This was nice..."

submission: Untitled (finished)

I decided to review a song of your as you said in the audio forum that people had stopped reviewing your music and I felt a little sorry for you lol.

I read the comment below and was a little disappointed that you used pre-made drum loops in this. I always think that drum and bass is fairly easy to write if you use whole drum sample phrases. Nevertheless, this was a really nice piece. The bass is nice, and displays a good use of those filters. The backing synths were heavy.

All in all this is a well structured song, plenty going on and keeps the listening interested. Good work man. You tried to write some drum and bass and succeeded.

Score: 9

"Nice...."

submission: It's A DnB Loop!

date: April 11, 2008

Its a decent loop man. Heavy bass and plenty going on. I like what you've done with the percussion, although I have a couple of suggestions that I think could possibly improve this piece.

I think you need a more predominant snare and bass kick. The most powerful part of drum and bass can be where the kick drum shakes you before the bass churns. You've probably played around with loads of different kicks etc, so I don't want to come across as patronising, but I think adding another bass drum and snare and boosting the right frequencies would hugely improve this loop. Also a little distortion always goes down well.

Good work, i thought this piece was heavy.

"Whats with all the happy hardcore at the moment???"

submission: Weekend Has Come Remix!

date: April 11, 2008

I absolutely hate happy hardcore... but I won't vote or review lowly because of this. Its well produced, and it's particularly catchy. They vocals are very well done, and it's got all of those essential happy hardcore elements in it. Pounding drum beat, simple punchy bass line and catchy tuneful riff over the top.

I can't really fault this piece, although it could do with being a little longer. I would have probably pushed up the kick drum a bit in the mix. Also have you thought about side chaining the kick? Could be worth a try.

Even though i'm not a fan of this style, you've done a good job. Keep them coming.

Score: 9

"Very Nice...."

submission: Not Myself Anymore

date: April 9, 2008

The whole song was really well written. Very moody and capturing. This is a very nice piece of music. However, I would remind you to be careful with your final mix. A few instrument sounds seemed way to high in the mix. A few beeps at around 50 seconds and the main lead after that seemed a little piercing.

Other than that this piece is really well written. A little cheesy... yes. But good nonetheless.

Well done mate. Keep composing.

Score: 3

"Ok I know this is a joke but..."

submission: 2'29''

date: March 27, 2008

I know this is a joke, but i'm getting a little tired of it to be honest. This has been done so many times it is ridiculous. Anyway, I was under the impression that Cages 4'33 was meant to be a live performance, so that the music was in the sound of the audience (coughing etc).

I'm sorry if it is me not being able to take a joke, and it probably is, but this one is on deaths door. What ever will someone do next, play it in reverse, 'arrange' it? No matter how many time this 'music' tries to be spun, it is still the same old cliche s***.

Score: 8

"Very nice tune man..."

submission: These Mistakes are Mine Alone

date: March 25, 2008

This was a really nice tune, very well produced and at a good pace. I personally though it was a bit lacking in bass. I mean, I know there wasn't a bass, but I reckon a really soft fluid type of bass, just to keep it flowing would have worked fantastically here.

This however is my only criticism, the rest was really well done. Congratulations on a phat tune!

Score: 7

"Interesting...."

submission: dolphin rescue squad

date: March 23, 2008

Hmmm... it's pretty different. If i'm honest i'm not really sure what to make it. I think I like it. Yeah I do like it. It's a bit all over the place whilst being well organised.

Good work, it's definitely different.
