Cat Machine

Artist: Ceekayed
Ceekayed shows you the tricks of his trade with a track that in a speed compo is nothing short of great. But maybe would benefit from a remix or a 2.0 release. This is drum and bass reminescene of Hate Hope Tragedy. Only less stellar and epic. (attempting to rewrite the review after a crash :/) Neve

Artist: Randor
This is pumping dance executed extremely well on the sound-quality side of things. From beginning to the end this manages to pull of the "party" feeling with a added bonus of very nice thick stereo sound. With just four minutes of running time you get funky cut up of guitars, bashing beats and synth

I See (Stars Shine Bright Mix)

Drum and bass with no fuss. Straight on. But could have used more inventive beat programming and carry a few niggles on the vocal part. But it grows on you despite it's "flaws".

Nagarjoena (Justmade DnB Mix)

Artist: Xetrov
Renx was a very talented musician on the original TiS-site. I remember being amazed by his skill back then. Xetrovs and THC have basically turned this into chilly melodic drum and bass of a type which is rarely seen these days. I really like the chilly atmosphere and when the heavily filtered bass h

The song kicks of nicely with a distorted synth coupled with some beats. I instantly noticed the artists sense of details. The sound quality is nice and several acid-like synths work together to produce a rich mix. The beats never quite "popped out" in the mix though, which I should add may be more

Hate, Hope, Tragedy

Artist: Ceekayed
Every detail of this track ozes quality. It has almost everything one could ever want in drum and bass: Intricate drum rythms, intelligent progressions, and rich full ambience. Sound quality is outstanding and at times I think this is on the verge of going breakcore. The synths are very rich in tone

For a raw module this is good stuff. On the mp3-department I would have expected a bit more mastering, and as the author explains, I agree that it is boring. :) And maybe the synths that hit the track 1:25 is a bit to loud in the spectrum. Anyway, this is good cross over dnb as it flows from drum an

This is drum and bass with a slightly ambient and trancey edge. It delivers the goods without to much drama. It flows nicely and the build-up is solid. The switch-up 2:22 is interesting, but the distortion of the amen is slightly flat, like the break lacks dynamic, having listened to hundreds varia

Like another reviewer noted, this is trance as it sounded a couple of years ago. And there is nothing negative about that really. The sound quality is solid, but I felt that the reverb was a bit to pronounced. The bass lacks a little punch as well. But all in all this is quite enjoyable. After sub-s

Artist: MarcShake
I was pleasantly surprised when I started to listen to the track. The sound quality shows of the artist's ability to create the proper atmosphere for the harder side for trance. The dynamic of the track soundwise leaves nothing to be desired either. In whole, there is not much to be critical of

Chilly and deep. This sits in the laid back department of house music. Reminescene of the label Hed Kandis serve chilled albums. Slightly let down by the choice of lo-fi samples. Esp the piano. All in all this track do not push any real boundaries, but executes the standards of a genre in a way

Experimental stuttering industrial drums, minimal melodies and ambience. If that is not your bag then this is not for you. All in all this is a different offering with some issues, but also shows the composers talent in creating harmonies and ambience that differs from the norm. This is not main
