on Kick the beat out by DJTechnoSamurai
Yeah, I'm with the others on here- doesn't sound like Drum&Bass, sounds more like some fast Techno. Mixed with a slight Industrial vibe too. And ya might wanna either cut this down or throw in some more variation at the end because the track begins to get a little repetitive. Though I do like the high energy level of this and think it would be good for someone using it in a mash-up remix session. Later on!
on Credula a Postero by NickBee
on Two Riddles by RedDragon
on Sonar a.k.a. jump by PuRay
This is classic Drum&Bass right here! Though I'm also diggin the slightly Ambient vibe ya had in this. Starting off nice and slow, working your way up into the high energy stuff. Kinda like giving the people on the floor some prep stretch time before the workout. I also really loved that vocal sample ya had on here. There isn't one thing that I don't like about this. Outstanding job mate. Later on!
on KRUNKAZZJAZZ by Gadget
Okies, I don't think that this could really be classified as traditional Drum&Bass. Sounds more like some kinda progressive hiphop joint IMO. And ya might wanna watch some of yer levels on this coz they came out soundin a bit hot compared to the rest of the mix.
Though I did think this track was rather enjoyable. And agree with Shamus that this would be sweet if it had some vocals on it. Can't really say which I think would fit it best. Hmm, maybe a mix of different styles with a couple of singers/rappers possibly? Anyways, thanks for sharing. Later on!
on 2012 Step one by M4ruFaQ
on Tempest by Nerfbob
Yeah, this was a pretty sweet mix of styles. Though ya might wanna go back n rework the ending because it began to sound a bit repetitive. And was there supposed to be a small silent gap at the beginning? Very creative stuff here though. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on Snare 2 by fankster
This is pretty cool Goa-Psy here and I can't believe that it hasn't been reviewed more (given the 30 downloads). (shakes head) For shame people! Haha, guess it's all about freeloadin here, so what can we do, ay?
I really dug the lil synth effects kinda stuff ya had on here. Gave this track the illusion of being played in a big factory or somethin. And the bassline on here is choice. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on Trance Dance by KZiegman
It's kinda sad when the downloads outnumber the reviews (by this much). Greedy people, I guess (shrugs).
Anyways, I dug the sense of movement this had and it's atmosphere. Cool usage of loops mate (that one synth loop on here has been used alot). Nicely done. Later on!
on desert by snakejang
Nice lil drum fills ya threw in here. I think they made the track move along a bit faster (or with more energy). And though I feel it, I think you could've given this a better description. Kinda causes me to think that people who float over this might miss the point of what's going on here.
And as for the genre, hmm, I dunno if this would accurately be described as being a Trance song (unless you're doing some Progressive or Goa-Psy type stuff with this). IMO, this is more Techno than it is the other. But beyond all that I think that this is a pretty decent composition ya got here. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on Dreaming for you Techno-Trance by DeiSenDra
Play 2 now...
So yeah, where was I? I def think that this has a solid start and then @ 0:44 ya throw in that one synth sequence (just sounds like ya might wanna have it fade in by moving the first loop's volume bar on the left). And if it were me, I'd either drop out or add some effects to the vocal sample saying 'The bass'. And after that work on expanding out the mix. Cool starter here though. Later on!
on Minimal Techno and Trance mix! by DeiSenDra
Haha, yeah, I could tell this was mixed on Magix (it just has this certain sound to it, beyond just the loops). You might be able to tell from some of my stuff that I am a fellow MM user. So if ya ever want any pointers or whatever just lemme know and I'll be glad to help.
As for this mix, is it safe to guess that this is still an 'in-progress' piece? I ask because of the length and some of the stuff I heard during the song. I'm gonna say that this wasn't bad for yer first time messin with the program, but I'm thinkin that this could be a little better. No worries, it won't take long to get the hang of that prog. Anyways, thanks for sharing. Later on!
on Axid Noize by Avail

The intro to this kinda reminds me of one of Gameboi-X's tracks (two hours work I think). Yet you've got different synths and the groove of yours is more relaxed than his. Sorta like it'd be the 'breather track' in a big mix session. Though I imagine people would still be dancin, it's just that the lights'd be all the way off and the glow stickers and poi ballers would be doin their thing. Cool stuff. Later on!
on Sine Bass by Avail
You know what I'd think would be really cool for this? If you were to do some kinda Industrial remix of this and feature the vocal styles of a singer/s like in the band Superchic[k]. I dunno why, but that's what I'm thinkin. Havin some kinda growly guitar (like Static-X's) mixed with that singing. Man, that'd be great. Later on!
on The Taste of Metal by JackRipper
Man, this kinda reminded me of the stuff I heard on Roni Size's album New Forms back in 98. Though the vocal stuff is more like what Evol Intent does. Super grooves here mate. Later on!
on Fez under the rising Moon by n0mad23
Yeah, I think those vocals were very apt for this song. In fact, in a way I think they made it a winner.
And sometimes I really wish this'd be the kinda stuff they play on the radio, ya know. Like have one of those 'top 40s' stations have a nightly hour of world music. Man, could you imagine? I bet that'd just blow the doors open on the industry by way of sales and such.
And normally my view of Ambient is luke-warm, but this captures a side of mellow that makes me wanna move. Great stuff mate. Def sav/fav'd. Later on!
PS. Check out the band Engine-Earz on
YouTube sometime, you'll love 'em!
on Cantus Ranocchio by n0mad23
Okies, I wanna ya played this live because of the lil discrepancies I hear in the note placement within the time sig. Course, it could just be the way ya rolled it though. Anyways, wanna hear somethin crazy. For some odd reason I was reminded of that Techno song they played in the Porche scenes in the movie Super Troopers (dunno if you've seen it, but it was a really funny flick, I'd suggest it). Though the groove between the two is completely different.
The name is so fitting because I could totally envision some backwater southern swamp and some guy sitting on the porch of some rickety shack chewin on a bit of poor man's grass. Have ya thought about addin some violin and banjo? Later on!
on Dominic sunset by H3XiT
As for the sense of foreboding, remember in Empire Strikes Back when they came across the empirial remote space droid on Hoth. The way this starts kinda reminds me of that menacing droid hovering around.
Ooh, I just had an idea if ya wanna go really dark with this. Add some growling bass to the song (thinkin like it'd come out in spots sorta like some kind of alarm of battle klaxon, or maybe have it swell up and down like in waves, but constantly there). Other than that this was a pretty cool choon. Later on!
on Subject 99 by H3XiT
I like how driving this is mate. And this might sound odd, but somethin in the synth kept makin me think it was sayin- 'my orange juice' (shrugs).
Anyways, this was remindin me of the hard drivin stuff of the late 90s. And I could tell that you had massive fun mixing this, because of the intensity. I'm thinkin you oughta keep this like a feather on yer cap to come back to once in a while to mess with again and revamp. It has great remix potential. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on Sleepless by DigitalSerotonin
I'm thinkin that if ya ever go back to rework this ya might wanna balance out the levels of some of the channels a bit more (like the one synth bell ya used, sounds sorta too pronounced IMO). I like how ya took a dark approach with this. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on ikilem by snakejang
I absolutely loved those drums, but I would have to argue that this isn't a trance song, atleast in the traditional sense. Maybe it's progressive trance (shrugs). Given it's length maybe you could go back n rework it to have more synth. At any rate, thanks for sharing. Later on!
on Reese curl by khrimson
This one had my head bobbin. And given it's depth and quality I could easily see this being doubled or triples in duration if one were to incorporate it into a mix session. If it were me I'd prolly also pair it with some vocals like Sarah Mclachlan. And maybe throw in some long saws with plenty of pitch changes. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
on Lost in a World Full of Monsters by peopleareloudmovers
This was pretty cool for a shorter tune. Kinda like I could see it being an interlude between longer songs on an album or something. And I think ya did a great job with incorporating the acapella into your mix (which sets a somewhat eerie vibe). Coolness here. Lates!
on Step Back by Gsusfrk
This was pretty decent D&B right here. It had the traditional elements in the drums, but I really dug how ya used the lighter tones for the synth. Which I felt gave it a nice ambient or mellow groove. Unlike other D&B tracks, that usually hit harder and darker. I just think it's a refreshing change to hear something light and airy like this. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
Thanks for the words :)
I'll Hit on of your tracks up
God Bless

I really dug the way this starts out and think the synth treatment was great, but something happened towards the end that made me think that some of the sequences were slightly off. Maybe it was just the tones and how they interacted with the drums (like I'm thinkin they'd sound a bit better if ya softened 'em up a bit with some effects or by lowering their velocity). I enjoyed hearing the stuff ya added on the drums and loved the water drop-like perc sounds ya had here and there. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
