Is the loxy from metalheadz? What the hell happened? Not what I expected at all.

yea same loxy, im guessing farah's theme is somewhat recent. i have a feeling tho co-producer genotype had more influence on that specific track because his other one on the Fabriclive 50: dbridge/instramental mix has a similar sound with pre-existing vocals from another tune and it fits in with the more soulful, minimal sound dbridge/instramental have been producing of lately. ill post that one next.

i enjoyed its funkyness. wild change around 3:40 when it goes into overdrive. interesting track with never a dull moment 7/10

OK so this one time I lived in Hawaii for 3 months and they had "ecstatic dance" events on Sunday mornings, where a couple hundred people would get together and dance for a few hours without saying a word to each other the whole time, and it was fucking awesome. It was kind of like church. This track belongs in one of those sets. It's got a transcendental vibe that would be perfect for it. I love it. 10/10.

I like dubstep and roots reggae but not dub reggae. Weird, huh? Those bass and horn steps were pretty hot though. Overall, it's not really my bag despite being a solid tune for fans of that genre. 4/10
The Gaslamp Killer-"Daggasse"

Hmm, I didn't really get what song is trying to be, lo-fi trip-hop? And the hairy dude looking trying to look all smart and stuff doesn't help much. IMO it needs a better hook. 4/10 What kind of style would this be classified as?

Well, I can understand it appeals to some, but I think it's rather cheap and commercial. Very poor beats IMO (where's the bass?). Also I don't think this is somethin' one will care about within a few years (or months). It could have been a poor MJ cole track and if this was made with fruityloops I'd believe it ;)
3.5/10

On the other hand, the above mentioned Van Hoesen track did blow my mind. Seems like an interesting producer.

Here's another house classic:

Sample heavy lo-fi trip hop is pretty accurate, I think. I heard about GLK looking into Daedelus, FlyLo, SamiYam, Nosaj Thing, and the whole Brainfeeder gang. Some of the stuff I like instantly. Other stuff, like that last one, is more questionable. I like to throw it out there and get other opinions.

Good tune. I'm pretty critical of drum and bass and I really liked that, especially the chopped vocal. Clean production all around and a composition that could be considered an actual song instead of simply a "track". 8/10

I really wish youtube had the original mix of Santiago's "atto d'amore" but instead try out
Serge Santiago-"Running Passions"
 
Wave Jumper's Raze-Break For Love-I love the toms and occassional shakers. The rhythm is so simple but the bassline keps it moving nicely. The tempo is a bit slower than what I prefer. I also wasn't feeling the lyrics or vocal too much but understand they have their place in the song. 4/10

Pan's Joanna Newsom-"Shallow (16-bit Rmx)"
That was so good. Her voice is great. It's like a mixture between Macy Gray, Amy Winehouse, and one of the chipmunks. The harp sample is so beautiful. I could imagine seeing this played live backed by a full orchestra and having my mind blown. 8/10

Wave Jumper's Sleeparchive PA
I got impatient waiting for it to evolve or build. I like all the sounds but never felt like they came together coherently until about 3:25. Even after that, I kept waiting for something to happen but was left feeling dissatisfied. IMO, listening to that was a chore. 3/10

Mike Relm-"O Face"

Heyoka's fucking awesome. This is up to his standard, too. I could do without the really static-y sounding bass ... it wouldn't kill him to use a clean tone every now and then. But overall this is some pretty dope beatsmithing. Well named, too. 7.5/10

Jazzsteppa - America B (live) (I'm pretty sure this is a video made with a studio track with some live audio laid over it.)
