B gets my vote.

A -- sound issues and it was just very generic for me; like everyone said, dhol jageero da and 6 ft was kinda unecessary/borderline cliche
B -- very well-mixed, sickk stuff. only slight thing for me was how late it got into the song (intro was sick without a doubt and i wouldnt have mentioned this if it was a complete mix but for competition-sake later on in the rankings I might have gone with an equally clean/hype mix if it had used more of the song in its mix.
just my 2cents.

My vote: Track B


I won't get too detailed with this review, because most people have covered what I wanted to say pretty well, but here are some words of advice..


Track A - As others stated, I didn't understand the "Dhol Jageero Da" intro. It sounded awful toward the beginning and actually made me want to turn off the mix.


Track B - I felt the original lyrics were drowned out a bit too much by the heavy bass. I, personally, am not a huge fan of incorporating big bass sounds. I'd rather hear other elements the mix, then the typical "boooomm" sound over & over. I liked the change of pace at the end (past the 0:52 second mark) and also liked the simple/clean outro.


Keep it up,


~ Basim :)

Track A made my speakers peak a bit and the bass was dirty at points. it was basically two layers that didn't mesh well. still entertaining though.


Track B was a lot of fun to listen to and def something I'd bump on a regular basis. The vocals were a little low and the hoye's excessive. overall, an amazing mix and a full version would be just as good i'm sure.


Track B has my vote.


good job to both entries though.

track b is my choice because it was very clean except (as gsingh said)...the vocals got a little hard to hear at a certain point.

Track A- intro like everyone said, mastering needs work, went off beat a little bit in the beginning.. Should not use the beats everyone has used.

Track B- intro was nasty, loved the mix overall really well mixed, however it wasnt mastered properly either, I should hear the original more than the secondary mixed track. It should be compressed.

My vote- To keep it fair because I thought mix A sounded cleaner than B, but mix B was mixed better and sounded better but wasnt mastered properly either. Vote- none.

Track B. intro was sickkk


like swi already said, the transition at the beginning from Dhol Jageero Da sounds a bit off. Obviously the overuse of 6'7 and beamer benz or bentley hurt u. still enjoyed the mix though. I did like miss pooja beat mixed with dhol jageero da

Track A: i lost intrest as soon as 6'7foot kicked in. And then beamer benz killed it even more, just becouse these are over raped instrumentals.

Track B: Other than the "hoi's", and the fact that I THINK the vocals could of been a bit louder, loved it. intro was fire.


Vote: B

A: Dhol Jageero Da didn't match that well, but mixing with Nachdi De was an interesting take nonetheless. 6 foot 7 seemed offpitch until it came in (the stutters before the true song came in sounded off). Niiiiice, although beamerBenz is a little overplayed, it sounded nice here, and the second time 6foot7 came in it def sounded more natural at that point. i think this track just took some time to build up hype, and the dhol jageero in the beginning kind of got it off to the wrong start. keep it up! the latter half of the mix shows some good chops!

B: hahaaaaa, bass down low coming in and out in the beginning was PERFECT for building hype. the beatdrop at 24 sec was bomb. culminated really well from the electronic tunes playing from the start. rap vocals around 36sec fit in nicely. the rolling dhol beat you had goin on for most of this was well chosen. whistling toward the end was mONEY. and throwing in the bass down low again at the very end gave some good closure, nice for the track to come full circle.

My Vote: Track B
