These are not genre I'm knowledgeable about, so my comments are throwaway. I expect your core audience could give you a decent indication. But I'll add my thoughts in the hope that something I say is useful.

The D&B track..Ignition...the riffs just didn't take me anywhere. Might be showing my ignorance here.

Columbine has something that caught me... but I felt it wasn't able to get out. For me, there is something really good in this track. But the mix, or the choice of sounds around the riffs seemed to choke it, not lift it.

I'm not your market, and I only post these comments in the hope that my being honest may help. And that you'll reciprocate with honesty when I start posting my work.

hey man,

finally grabbed the tunes now,
ignotion: great mix as usual, the first bass it thumpy and great, the ambient things that fades in later on feels sorta missplaced tho, perhaps changing the pitch or sumethin would fix this tho? then the reece comes in, WHOA! niiiice one!

columbine:
grrreat dark pad/strings here! the "filtered tabla" sounds little to bassy somehow, dunno.. i like the unexpected little pluck instrument, banjo?
it all sounds like urban "techno" kinda..

i dunno how u do it, but your mixes and kicks, always sound so spot on. i myself can never get the kicks to sound both good in attack AND bass. its either very clicky attack or too bassy. grr..

"The Girl You Don't....."
I liked this one much more....maybe I'm not such an old fart after all. Interesting contrasts in the sounds ..... a few different themes....some tension and release.

Everyone else knows more about mixing than I do so I'll leave comments on that to them.
