Xelas submission "Streetlevel" is a profoundly gorgeous track, downbeat yet hopeful, a very delicate balance executed with such unqualifiable and unquantifiable finesse. Serious talent.

Also check out the "My Rap" and "Soul in the Machine" remixes on Mercks Dosage sampler, very intelligent arrangement on "My Rap", wonderful sense of timing. Dropping a comedically snide sample before a major tempo and voice transition at the tracks structural halfway point evokes a knowing smirk.

"Are you crazy or plain stupid?"
"Neither of the two, I think Im quite smart... in fact, a genius."
"Genius? Youre kidding... Youre the dumbest person that Ive ever met."

Genius all the way Mr. Twells. More please.

the track madness is well arranged, i could never find out where that grip of the city sample was from.. the quality of voice made me think of petula clark - downtown

"clementine" is surely a classic for the genre, one solid progression, barely repeats itself structurally, very pretty

"two up at seven" is another great melodic helios soundscape, quite sure that tracks been used as a counter-hangover wakeup alarm before.. some leisurely-punctuated deep bass hits put you on notice, then it pleasantly sucks you out of your dreams with a gorgeously simplistic melody over a rolling bassline

definite talent, hope to hear more soon

second on monday paracetamol... what a superb track

the bassline surges with immense power while remaining unhurried, the slight deadening of the last note in the middle melodic layer on transitions is so uninsulting, great detail

this track is not pretentious as is the danger with these types of compositions, the ultra high-range palette used in the crescendos can linger a bit long and the breakdowns of these massive towers of sound can become a bit formulaic on repeated listens but ill buy the full package out of sheer respect

excellent job as usual, more please
