"All are pretty decent, but nothing struck me as an elite track. Great, balanced, easy to dance to, good tracks all." - 3.0 / 5
"The three tracks that grabbed me the most were the ones by Ciprian Lemnaru, Expanded, and DJ Shinobi. These have just the right amount of control, so the elements are not fighting for attention or cluttering each other's space. Nice driving tracks for the dancefloor." - 3.5 / 5
