Clouded Illusion by Craig Hubbard
Bouncy beginning, I like the ambient sounds eminating in the background. The saw sound is clutch. Sounds very clouded indeed. As if I were in a dream....very nice. sweet buildup in the middle(?) I'm used to reviewing with the track time in front of me, so not as detailed a review. tasty track though. 8.5/10

Mushroom Man by Moth Equals
Nice trippy intro. backwards sounds always a good decision. Good breaks, harsh. Compliments the soft melody. Completely switched it up, flute is good. Good eastern sounding drums. Ambient interlude is nice. Dreamy. back into the breaks, Nice build up overall. Layering becomes more complex and erratic. another dreamy interlude, nice progression. Nice ending. That was a good fade/melty type thing there. Solid Production all in all. 8/10

(response from artist) thanks for the review Bladenj, happy you didn't find too much wrong with it.

NIN - Only (entity first round mix) by E n t i t y
creepy intro, perfect for DnB. Nice gritty feel, Trent would have it no other way. I was expecting a faster tempo, but I like this. Oh, nevermind, there it goes. sweet. pretty good bassline. I would have liked it to be a bit harder a bass sound, a bit more dirty. snares and everything else are really good. Oh, You got me again, the bass just got dirtier. Nice down and dirty DnB. Well played sir. 8/10

Breaks by SYSTEM Productions
Nice ethereal intro with good samples. good muffled snare/kick. The main beat kicks in with a moby kind of feel. stuttered synths are nice! This is a great early/morning track. nice claps in the break down. I've been spinning this kind of stuff at my monthly for the first hour. Second breakdown (I believe) has some nice layered synth sounds added in there. Nice dreamy outro, all in all a quality production! Nicely done! 9.5/10

Trees Don't Fold Themselves by Moth Equals
nice intro. cool drum fills and synth stuttering. nice buildup. the one drum fill in there is the same used by the hot boys in the states. It's funny, becasue you put it to much better use. You've got some good IDM here. Richard James would be proud. 8.5/10

(response from artist) thanks, i love stuttering with drums, sounds so much cooler than when people stutter. i've never heard of the hot boys :S wehey you said IDM, none of my friends (jordan below) know what IDM is. i made the beats using the sample snares, kicks and percussion on music 2000,which don't sound that good unless you mess around with them. anyway thanks for the review.

Exile by Moth Equals
Unsettling Intro, beat starts out, left of center. These are some real broken beats. This tune is very busy, but it comes together well. I have a little brother about your age that produces as well. It's really amazing to see what you guys come up with. all in all a very complex work. well done. 8/10

(response from artist) i have no idea what you mean by left of centre, but its not that busy, basically a beat, strings and singing. i guess that's subjective. thanks for the review though, always appreciated.

Techno Fabrication by Bluestudios
Good old school intro. nice dreamy build. nice EQ with the guitars. lovely hi hats. This reminds me a lot of the disco biscuits. I love the use of real guitars. really gives this tune a quality sound. I can honestly say I've never heard anything quite like this. good job mate. 9/10

(response from artist) Thanks Bladenj.....appreciate ur review time and comments

Filter Orgasm by ZXX
Good intro. nice bouncing bassline. I like the synths, overall could be eqed a bit better, getting a little grainy-ness through the speakers. def. a late hour slammer. nice work. 8.5/10

Earthshaper by Neurosalt
GOOD BREAKS TO START OFF. I LIKE THE SYNCOPATION WITH THAT SNARE. TUNE IS NICE AND DARK. NICE BREAKDOWN @ 1:55, 2:20 NICE BREAK DOWN FROM THE BREAKDOWN, GOOD EFFECTS, GOOD SOUNDS, & I LIKE THE MORSE CODE SOUND. ADDS TO THE DRAMATIC EFFECT. ALL IN ALL A REALLY NICE TRACK. WHAT DID YOU USE TO PRD? 8.5/10
