[Pendulum - The Island (Windlux Remix)]

Sounds really good! I just have to say, with a kick ass build up like that one, it should have dropped a little harder. But, that doesn't really take away from the whole track c:

KORAII responds:

Thanks man ;) i reckon im gonna be alot better once i get the producer edition, cos right now im stuck doing my song in sitting, but if i did i'd do more to it :D also i sent you a contact request on skype (my skype name is klucid)

[Jetstreamers]

I really enjoyed this! Though, as always, time for some constructive criticism:

The only thing I think needs improvement is sort of what Milo said. I think that clap sound was too loud in the first breakdown and some of the other percussion at other points. Also, it was a little odd at some points to distinguish a main instrument from a backing instrument, but that can be easily fixed by taking another gander at your mix. That's really it productions wise. The rest is all based on my preferences as a listener and as a musician.

Remember, this is descriptive to try and be as helpful as possible. I do really enjoy the track c:

KORAII responds:

thanks man i understand c: i am using the demo version so i have to do everything in one sitting :/ thank you for the feedback :D

[Wishful]

Contrary to the popular opinion, I actually likes that little arp riff that began at 1:01. I see what you were trying to do. Mixing it up a little bit, and I respect that.
The whole track feels solid and finished, it has a nice groove and almost funk, if you will.
Good on ya, keep it up! c:

Thanks a lot Mollus! :D

[Nine Echoes - Within]

Overall, is was a really solid track; nice groove, good sound design. The one and only complaint I have is that it kind of lacked a melody.

I understand that DnB isn't about lush chord progressions and a musical mosaic of notes, however, it needs something to get the blood pumping before the drop. Those four chords you used were really good in the beginning, but it needs to grow from there before the drop comes in. 1:46 is a pretty good example, however it lacked variation in my opinion.

Aside from that, very good. I am especially impressed that this is your first DnB track, and out of the gates it was so solid. These are just my opinions, and good luck for the future. c:

NevoMusic responds:

Right now I'm kicking myself, because for some reason I never even thought of adding a melody. XD

I totally agree I should have added one, and thank you for the great review!

[The Homebrew Channel [Syrge remix]]

That fade from 00:40-00:44 is absolutely GLORIOUS! Damn c:

sYrge responds:

Thank you :) I really appreciate it.

[Time machine (vPiorun Remix) (Extended)]

I love the remix, man. It was well put together and unique, despite stemming from another track. Also, I need to know where you got that "whoo!" sample xD. I've been looking for it for quite some time. Thanks, Lovely remix!

[Jumper - Stone Guardian]

I really love the atmosphere from the ambient, natural sounds you use at the beginning and in various other spots. They really give the song a sense of place and even story. That being said, where do you find those "Nature sounds"? I'm really interested in trying some Future Bass and I think it could give the flavour I'm looking for. Thanks, love the music! c:

Jumper responds:

Thanks! I think it adds so much to a song. I usually find them on Youtube or just search on google for some free sfx. I just recently started to record them as well :P

PS: FutureBass is awesome! :DD I'm slowly merging into it aswell.

[joarZ - Dreams]

Wow! I am really impressed with this. The drop had a really nice flow to it and the chords were bang on! Awesome track! 5 outta 5 c:
