RE: 2 New Tracks
iceworld is a bit quiet, with not a lot of bottom end. i think you can afford to turn the bass up a little, your kick is quite hard 909 style, so make your bass sound tough too. it's not my cup of tea, and i like the first acid line that comes in but i find the track a bit 'flat'. maybe try some percussion in there - conga loop or sumfink. you need to make the drums drive more, i think. where's the clap on 2 & 4? not that it's always necessary but it helps sometimes.
the other track is cool tho. still a bit quiet and muffled. the mp3 won't kill your sound if your sound is good to start with, just encode some of your favourite tracks for comparison. this track has a good dubby feel to it, a bit nu yoik in bits - maybe use less notes on that synth line : no chord changes!! i like the chugging drums but i think you need them to have a tighter sound. it all sounds like you recoreded it on an old tape deck. ;) think tenaglia, made me think tenaglia, that deep dub sound he used to do anyway.
