Untitled - like the snare:) Overall maybe too minimal or...empty. Like the idea.
Death come creepin' - gospelstep?

original, but not works for me

Kind of agree with Alvin. I feel like there is supposed to be bigger lower bass that I'm not hearing. Is this compressed?

Sigh...
@ alvin: Despite the fact it doesn't work for you, you think its original, and that is genuinely a compliment, so thank you.
@ spyroll: I've split the wobble and put a sub under it / turned both up quite a bit.

Your track is def pretty unique. I like hearing that "Whoooooooom" in these minimal tracks. It helps avoid the lethargy a lot of those tracks suffer. By the way I was only talking about Tax The Happy.
I couldn't play the others for some reason.

Untitled - loved it. I'd have liked the vocal sample to be a little clearer, and the top-end flutey synth to be slightly brighter, but I loved what was going on low-end-style.
Death Come Creepin' - again the sample would be really nice clearer. it kinda reminded me of that same half-hearing it half-not thing you get with Burial samples, yet this was on top of clearer production, so I don't feel it quite fitted in so well. Awesome to see people trying different things though! For sure.
