@Bud:
nowaysj remix> different direction, surprisingly digging the electro house vibes, reminds me of mr oizo's early stuff. great work on the accapella coming in at 1:15, took me by surprise but it really works well with the rest of the track. if i have any critique is that it could be a tad longer.
sanctum> you already posted this one previously right? i'm still phased out by the vocals (but as i said, probably because i can't help comparing it with the jamie xx tune i mentioned last time). other than that, liking the rest. except maybe the sound you use for the arpeggiated melody in the first section. i feel a cleaner/warmer/softer/nicer sound would make a goood counterpart to the grittiness of the bassline beats combo.
hent> not sure about the trap-ish hi hats, feels like it detracts from the rest. also i think the main snare could be a bit snappier, like maybe if you layer a woodblock or rimshot on top of it. not sure it's intended, but it feels a bit muffled to me as it is.
@Jizz: great work on athe atmosphere and all the little foley details. mixdown is on point too. maybe it's just me but i feel there could be another melodic element in there, or maybe another layer of strings to fill it up a bit. also i feel the beat could be made more interesting by adding some fills here and there, especially during the double time part. just my 2 cents tho
@nowaysj:
nowaysj coming through with the weirdness. i like the way you mangled it, though i feel it lacks direction. you have warped sounds in really interesting ways but it feels like you could have used some differently imo. like the stuttering around 0:46 for example, i would have been all over that, maybe making it the driving element for a while. or the weird groove with the "friiiiiiiiend" and the guitar that goes on in the last section, if you structured this more, it would have been a good basis for a proper tuna flappage. i blame the family reunion

@Demain:
ever blessed> nice one, liking the general idea, i wasn't sure about the combo between the drum machine-like snare and the "real" drums line at first but it grew on me. i wish you'd break the beat like you do at the end earlier tho, i feel it gets a bit samey after a while and could use some variations, even if just a dancehall-ish fill like you have at the end every 16 bar or something.
invasion: love the mount kimbiesque foley percussions. great shuffle. i wish another element would come in at some point tho, nto sure what, maybe its just me but it feels a bit empty once you introduced all you have. i feel another melodic element wouldn't be too much. off topic, this made me wonder: do you play your melodies with mouse + click or do you jam them with a controller of sorts?
btw, i took the liberty to d/l these stems you posted, might give a remix a whirl if that's cool with you
speaking of remixes, Bud, i was listening to blAnc's stuff and gave your remix EP idea more thoughts, there are a few other tunes i wouldn't mind trying my hands on if you're cool with sending me stems: mint/breakk+/starglass/cavelight. obv. if there's some of mine you fancy and would like the stems for i'll be happy to oblige
