Best - Kromestar "Kalawanji" - Dark, minimal, simple, effective

Worst - Rusko "Cockney Thug" - Cheesy midi horns. imo this tune damaged dubstep

Best: Toss up between Neverland and Blipstream (The one on Dubstep Allstars 4, not the one on Skreamizm 2)

Worst: Doctor P - Sweetshop. For 2 reasons, firstly it inspired a trend of crappy production and noisy garbagee, and secondly it's got that fecking annoying screech sound. Oh, and thirdly, the intro is actually really good then he wastes it >_<

Well that's kinda dumb, you've at least gotta listen to something before you write it off as being the worst.

Best: Midnight Request Line
~ Peaceful, relaxing yet deeeep. One of the first tunes I listened to.

Worst: Coki - Goblin
~ I just don't get the tune. I mean I love Coki's stuff to death but Goblin always gives me a headache. I don't know much technically about music so don't bash me on that.

i liked it a lot at one point. i dont listen to it much anymore (same with a tune like 'spongebob' for example). interesting how big of a tune it was in comparison to a lot of his tunes. didnt the thread have like 40 pages? :lol:

Wasn't Coki's spongebob tune made with just sounds spongebob makes in the show?

i'm not too sure how true that is, but that seems to be the word around the campfire. they say that about 'robotnik' as well. i guess there's a character called robotnik in the show that makes some kind of sound? lol i'm not familiar with the show.

still think goblin is dope.

for two reasons :

1, the drum is really pure. uve got all that cool coki hat action u cant help but to rock to. with the little intro its cool.
2, its huge. ive been able to reacreate a similar patch... and its really deep to program. i guess whether he did it on purpose or not this tune was like some kind of answer to the upcoming generation of brosteppers out there who still cant manage to make something as hard hittin as goblin...

it does get really fatiguing after a while..

i think its the kind of tune thats just ahead of its time kinda like coltrane's weirdest works...

Best - Distance - Delight: No Explanation needed.

Worst - Rusko - Woo Boost (Borgore Remix): An Absolutely horrendous remix of a pretty average song in the first place.

I don't know how anyone can say stuff like 16 bit and Goblin. There are so many worse tunes, even if you don't like those tunes, the production is unrivaled.

They need to know that the Mt Eden better than Burial thing is indeed a sick, sick joke.

best: ramadanman-carla everything about it just makes me happy. bass hits hard, love the melody, LOVE the drums
worst: too many to name really. lets just say that those who immediately jump on to a trend and fail to execute it at ALL deserve this spot
