[Emotional]

Killer percussion. Very crunchy, love the texture.

[Five Fingers of Death]

Real cool shit. Love the glitchy bells in the beginning, and the sound in general. Kind of like Tsuruda meets neo-soul.

phosphorusprocedure responds:

Thanks for pointing me towards Tsuruda, that stuff's super up my alley

[ALL IIIIIII]

This is perfect. Won't ever stop coming back to it.

[i hate it here]

Haha my b dude! I should have picked this one first. The drums are so tight, and the bass is so crisp. Real good shit. The drums are a bit repetitive, but I've always said repetition is good if something is worth repeating.

[a dnb track, except i can't think of a name]

This sounds pretty cool. You can really hit a note, and the composition is tight. Everything sounds kinda drenched in reverb though.

Yeah, this is a really old track, back when I thought "reverb = makes stuff sounds bigger" or something (I still do, but to a lesser extent hopefully) instead of stereo shaping/enhancing.

I'd say that these particular tracks below are a more recent portrayal of how my DnB stuff (vocal or otherwise) sounds:

[Captainsideway - B2 [Call It Tuesday]]

everything else here is really cool :) i love the funky time signature you use, and it's composed really well!! and i love the cacophony of noise you build to at the end, it's almost like a post-rock song. i only wish it would have ended a bit more smoothly, but other than that i dig it

[Jump2TheBeat & WhipOutUrMeat]

I still quote this song

[{Trainwrecker} Preview]

release this god damn song already

[raser - blood (hardcore)]

This is the start to a good idea. The bass gets a little bit repetitious, and it kind of drowns out all of the other melodic elements in the mix. The transition at 1:50, too, is very sudden and the change in overall volume doesn't feel justified. But, the drums that come in about 20 seconds later are fun, and I liked that.

I'm not against loud songs, I love a good noisy song, but I think this song could do well to manage the variation in loudness between elements to make sure everything fits in the mix right. Like at the end, I just straight up cannot hear the lead at all.

So, it's not bad, but it could use some work to really hit the mark.

[xKore - Boom (Prev)]

Stunning that this was made in 2011, could have been released yesterday and it'd be just as good
