Much appreciated all, thanks for the support so far!

Love this psychoacoustic effect of hearing the music from a distance and nearing till full blast! Wicked bass throughout the track too, makes my speakers hum nicely. A++

http://soundcloud.com/korrupt's review of http://soundcloud.com/theilluminated's 'Existence':
"The intro sounds very dark and evil. This is portrayed through the use of pads and ambient sounds in the background. It really prepares you on what’s coming because there’s definitely a climax building! Sooner or later you hear this drum&bass type of drum pattern, something unexpected but sounds pretty straight. The elements are very clear and the kick and snare are nicely present; and the sample before the first drop this is deep.

The drop is impressive, except one thing that I really miss which is a poppy kick right at the beginning. It doesn’t stand out as much as the other kicks with the other drum patters. The low-end of this is well played, making your head vibrate. Serious sample use in the track, and suddenly comes in a Black Sun Empire-like synth that sets the mood until the break of the track. Loving the way there’s a high-pass filter used and if you listen carefully, there are a lot of vox samples involved in the break. Suddenly you hear a dark growl coming in, the elements in the track start to build their existence. The second drop is very nice with that really nice drop giving the track an extra twist! Then the wobbly synth reappears with loads of variations, now things go off the hook! The outtro really finishes the track, especially with the last vox sample used. 

A really impressive track by these fellow Dutchman, with some serious vibes that can twist your mind. Loving the way they designed this track, showing a whole different side of the dark dubstep spectrum. Make sure to check out the other tracks on this EP!"
