[Echoi]

I really cant decide where my vote is going yet

Tranquility: Superb roller this one, love the gentle percussion and sombre vibe.

Bouncy Ball: This one really helped to wake me up, can see why you called it bouncy ball haha wicked tune.

Imperial Crown: Again another good effort, felt like Id been transported right into the 1970's.

Menace: Nice work, love the way it steps up a gear or two towards the end.

Jaded Moonlight: Bit on the quiet side, however a nice dark Autonomicy type tune.

Just Another Day: The intro on this reminded me a bit of those cool cop shows in the 70's, had my head nodding.

Sad Sack: This is really good, excellent use of background ambience, felt it got a tad repetitive, but enjoyed it all the same.

Ying 4 Yang Sauce: Again another enjoyable track, felt the wobble overpowered the beats somewhat.


Listened to all 3 times each now and still cant decide, well done people excellent round this one.

I think I'm leaning towards imperial crown right now, really liked the idea of it, not sure how it was done, kinda sounded like someone was on an mpc doin that shit, real cool vibes.

still undecided though.

[tavravlavish]

Just another day has really good vibes, but I felt like when the weird noise comes in at 125 those vibes get ruined, but at the same time it takes a weird transition from being a really dark vibey tune to a light fun tune. Really great drums!

[DZA]

Sad sack was the one for me

[tavravlavish]

Sad sack was the one for me

I really liked the intro of that one, really solid tune!

[back2onett]

VOTE: Sad Sack - that ambience and percussion was just too good and that bass was just... it was nice

Close 2nd: Imperial Crown - great use of samples and had a lot of impact but I felt the drums were a bit empty (btw when I say close second I was literally about to flip a coin but after a few more listens sad sack just got it)

[3za]

Wish I finished my track.

1 love the intro, just a shame i don't really fell the drop. wish it stayed with that madlib sorta vibe. the synth that comes in around 2mins is very nice.
2. got a nice "bouncy" groove felt like something was missing in this tune to keep me hooked, I did not really fell the switch up at 1.50
3. Sexy intro, I could see me putting this on when i take a girl home with me goes abit wierd in the middle, but the outro is cool.
4. B-line reminds me of some old jungle tunes. goes abit shit in the middle, but then it gets better at the end.
5. Best track name. i don't really get this track. its abit like the deep version of brostep, just lots of random noise that don't fit together imo.
6. Just another song I could never see me listening to this, but your production sounds tight to me.
7. Really nice song, just sounds like someone has been listening to flylo, to much to me.
8. this tune is pretty hypnotic. their is not much eles i can think to say about this track.

Imperial Crown, gets my votes hands down. It is the only tune here i can see myself listen to, even if it does go abit funky in the middle.

7. Really nice song, just sounds like someone has been listening to flylo, to much to me.

[3za]

7. Really nice song, just sounds like someone has been listening to flylo, to much to me.

Sorry if I sound abit harsh, I was just giving my honest opinion.

[rubiconguava]

iv gon with sad sack - its a wicked track... and yeh def on the flylo tip, but thats not a bad thing. Sounds lovely.

Close second for me was bouncy ball.

[gorbek]

I'm sad I didn't get to make use of this pack...

Tracks are all quality!

Bouncy Ball has it - might be my mood partly.

[tavravlavish]

I miss the alphacat reviews, what happened alpha?! U didn't get like, busy or something did you?

[Wrigzilla]

Tranquility nabbed my vote coz of the nice moody vibes. I'll give feedback on all the tunes after the vote is over.

[airlabam]

Some great entries there, and it was tough for me but Imperial Crown grabbed me because of the chords and the general vibe -- deep and uplifting. It's just been stuck in my head the past few days, which I take as a good sign.

[tavravlavish]

Good job everybody!

I was bouncy ball
Wish I has spent a little more time

[HAACK]

Great work everyone!!

Big up to:

Gusto


For his track Sad Sack, should be lookin forward to the next one shortly.


Cheers.

My track was just another song, I mean just another day


Tranquility: this was the track that nabbed my vote - I'm a sucker for melodic dubstep with a little midrange bite to it. Musically it's on point and has a great melancholy vibe to it. Great work

Bouncy Ball: one word - funky - a very solid entry, my head is certainly nodding. I think I'd have mixed it with a little more sub, personally.

Imperial Crown: the main idea to this is pretty cool, but that middle 8 thing at 1:23 is pretty jarring and takes away from the rest of the track. Production wise the only thing that's really leaping out at me is the kick, I'd have made it a bit more punchy.

Menace: This one didn't quite do it for me, I liked the beat and that you switched things up (although the transitiony bit in the middle could be improved a bit). In the second half of the tune the kick gets lost in the midrange bass, I think that I'd mix it with more of the beater twack (in the mids) and maybe resort to side chaining if it still was getting lost.

Jaded Moonlight: I like this tune, the drums groove nicely and unlike 3za I liked the incidental sounds in the background. I do think however that more contrast in the structure of the song would have helped.

Just another day: self criticism time, I'm not 100% happy with the kick and should have probably used a different sample for it. I think the noise gated reverb on the lead in the second half of the song could have been done better, also I think the beat should have progressed more. I probably could have done better, but there's always next time.

Sad Sack: nice work Gusto, the vibe was there and everything worked. I do think it would have been even better if there was a bit more contrast in the song structure (like maybe switching the beat up more in different sections).

Ying 4 Yang Sauce: the bass is pretty cool and I like the supporting elements but the kick and the snare just don't cut through enough for my tastes.

And that's my thoughts at 5 in the morning when I should be asleep.
