listened to em all a few times
1 - kinda drawn out, definitely could've afforded going a few clicks faster imo. bass was a nice touch but had some clashes with the sample. that response to the flute melody was mixed a little weirdly, found that mad bass-y. drums didn't get in the way of the beat, which isn't bad, but really didn't do anything for you
2 - nothing groundbreaking about filters, but if the shit works it works. fan of it here. felt like it was a clean beat throughout with good placement of the samples. vocal sample at the end was cool but i wasn't feeling the sudden cut to end, felt like there could've been something done in retrospect
3 - def ran long. by the time that break came for the ending i was ready for the whole jawn to end. actually dug the last section but thought it could've come like a minute earlier. nice use of dynamics n shit
4 - dig starting off with this chunk of the sample. gives it that spaghetti-western style feel that carries throughout. sections are well defined and the fade in is nice, but the ending to the sample struck me as abrupt. entirely my opinion but some other sporadic sample during the low key section probably woulda fit well. drum and bass carried it for sure though. not a fan of the abrupt ending but solid up to that point
lookin like we all need endings according to me lol. such a subjective thing, but I just kinda liked 3 the most. def went long but I enjoyed what was going on there just a bit more than the rest. tbh these were some solid beats though. good listen all around
