Doc Jon - Gridlock
Theme: (8) i feel the racing theme, and a bit future, it would fit into the game.
Mix: (6) kick could be better. Mix feels a bit boxed overall, clipped, even though we had -14 lufs.
Style: (8) It's DnB, high paced and energenic.
Creativity: (7) There's good moments, but i feel that the main beat is repeated without variation.
Rules: (7) It's not 3-5 min but close, it holds the lufs, but not the True peak.

becsei_gyorgy - Midnight Run

Style: (6) Not sure it's the right style, and it feels weird some places.
Creativity: (8) very experimental with nice moments.
Rules: (8) It has the loudness spot on.

Double Tap - Amen, Brake
Theme: (9) i feel like racing in the future
Mix: (5) no download, but i think it would sound great if not played on soundcloud
Style: (8) Although the Amen works great for the theme, its making the style drift to breakbeat
Creativity: (8) very cool and exciting, and yea, Amen, I've heard it a bit too much, but it's still cool.
Rules: (4) time is right, nothing else.

Mix: (9) Sounds good, it's bassy but kick still has punch
Style: (8) maybe a bit too melodic
Creativity: (7) nice filtering, but besides that i miss something exciting
Rules: (6) the lufs are off the charts, time is spot on though

canese - Deutner
Theme: (7) it's missing something, or maybe it's just a bad choice of synths in the start that sets the mood wrong from the start. It's still a seven, so lots of stuff is taking it in the right direction.
Mix: (8) could be a bit better, i feel there's something in the 3-6khz range that's annoying over time, maybe it's a frequency phase problem from too much low cut?
Style: (6) I don't think it's there, but close enough i guess.
Creativity: (7) Some cool elements and generally well performed, a bit boring but still kinda catchy, weird combo
Rules: (4) loudness and time is off, too little of both.

TrojakEW - Not fast enough
Theme: (5) I'm not feeling the racing, it's more like a thriller.
Mix: (8) The bottom could be a bit better, i would change the kick and snare sample to a more snappy one. Also a low cut on the none bass instruments would be good.
Style: (4) it's only the beat is close and a few synths, i'm not feeling the DnB, the opera is nice, but used too much along with the classical instruments, the genre mix is all to obvious, you should cut it down a bit, only make it present a few times, a bit like at the end.
Creativity: (8) good variation and evolution with good details, the opera and classical thing is a nice touch.
Rules: (7) It holds the rules of loudness but not the time.

J I L L I A M - Ok Kill Me
Theme: (6) I feel more like racing in the 60ies than in the future, though it's still racing.
Mix: (8) Although it's very saturated, it still sounds good, i love the sound and it's mixed well, besides from the bells which i think is a few db too loud.
Style: (3) way off target here, sounds nothing like the Drum and Bass I've heard, besides from a quite busy Bigbeat, BPM is also too low if i'm not mistaking.
Creativity: (8) Tempo changes and the distorted sound is quite cool, and the space blips have some nice echos, i would like to hear more late beat fills before the crashes.
Rules: (6) it's too loud, and could be a bit longer.
