    First off, thanks for the feedback on The Roots remix and special thanks for mentioning the drums as I spent a while trying to get them sound like Roots drums and generally have that Roots groove / feel. Your Monch remix is great! No wonder this inspired you to dig that one out. Really digging...

    Yep, I agree. Cool voice for vocals too! Would have liked a slightly crunchier/ grittier clap / snare as I thought it sounded more like a hi hat. But yea, nice sound particularly given that there was no samples. I'd have assumed they were!

    I thought this was going to be a "Grime" beat. Glad it wasn't! This is really nice. Perfectly executed as always. Love how you sprinkle all the different elements over the beat. Makes it really original sounding. Nice work!! Here's a remix I've (almost) finished of The Roots - Don't Say Nuthin

    Did my remix inspire you to dig this one out? :-) This is sooooooooooo nice! It's a little choppy on the sampling but you've flipped it to perfection. Be nice to hear you re-do this now. It would be much more buttery! Can you send me an mp3 of this? Love it! Thanks for sharing.

    Hey @MR. MINESTATE First beat. Head nodding. Samples and elements are well paced and it all fits together nicely. I like the filtering of the drums when the vocal bytes come in. Executed flawlessly. Dope instrumental. Hold on! there's a rogue snare/hi hat in there! it sort of tripped me up...

    Nice one @MR. MINESTATE I'll get a listen to these later on and get some feedback too. I've been trying something a little different with this one. Trying to tame a big bright sample to allow J-Live's vocals to cut through but at the same time have them compliment each other. If anyone heard...

    Do I REALLY NEED an MPC?

    @deanscott Not sure what to say really. I don't think any of them are hip hop and the way you've posted is a bit frustrating. Just looks like you've signed up and dumped your tracks in the forum. No information, background, nothing. Maybe they're not supposed to be hip hop? I don't like coming...

    Cool. I will look at perhaps changing it up then. I may have trouble with a release of that particular acapella as it stands too. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again!

    Thank you dude. Appreciate the feedback. I'm going to look at this again as that's a couple of folk mentioned the beat not matching up with the vocal but I spent a while aligning with the original beat. Perhaps I've moved it slightly when mixing down or something. Feedback very much appreciated...

    Another great beat and a nice remix. Nailed the vibe. Nice work. The only thing I'd add (which is probably a personal taste thing) is analog filtering to give the whole sound a bit of texture. It's just a little too smooth and clean...but I love it.

    I would return to this sooner than later. It sounds great apart from the snare which sticks out. Regards the remix. Its basically just my beat with the MED / Guilty acapella over it.

    Argh! Get that snare sorted!! Keys and hi hats came in and I was really vibing. Nice bounce to it. Waiting for drums to hit and then that snare obliterated my ears! This has bags of potential to be a brilliant beat. All the other segments that come are in really nice but I would like to review...

    Heres another remix I've done of MED & Guilty Simpson - Face Down.

    This couldn't be any further from my personal taste and yet I weirdly enjoyed it. Probably from a technical perspective as much as anything. Well worked and enjoyable listen. Nice work!

    Really vibing with this one. You've really eeked out the goodness of that sample. Drums are on point and the mix is nice too. Lovely beat!

    Nice idea with getting feedback on unfinished projects - might do that myself. I'd say there's legs in the Synths & Roaches but definitely cut down and I like the idea of the mash-up. I think the different / heavier drums at some point would be a nice addition.

    Hey @TjombaBeats . I couldn't get into Muneshine unfortunately. It felt a bit tired and uninspiring. Like it's been done a million times before. One of the kicks is off-beat too which throws the listener. I enjoyed Synths & Roaches though. Not sure anyone would listen to the full 7 minutes...

    Here's my remix of Emskee's "Everyone in the Place" featuring Large Professor. Still needs a little iron here and there but you'll get the idea and vibe of the track. I'd like to get this one on a 7" with some others. I was also considering using the beat as an original too. Will see how it...

    Hey @Sole Element . Hard at it and as interesting and obscure as always... The Now Effect - Love what you've done with this. You've made that vocal sit so nice under the beat. Drums are great. Snare hits lovely and kicks are perfect for it. Synths just cut through enough without overpowering...
