Ok... after my senior moment of not voting!...

5pts @Fretwired nice and clear across the track
3pts @Branshen nice bass and top end just lacked a little in the mids
1pt @paulmapp8306 Clear but just lacked the punch the other two have....

Extra day of voting ends tonight

octatonic

5pts @Fretwired- Really good job. Bass is in the right place. Could be a tad brighter, but otherwise excellent.
3pts @Branshen - Super punchy, perhaps a bit too much at the cost of some definition- on the verge of clipping in parts in the low end which drowns the percussion parts.
1pt @paulmapp8306 Basslines and midrange are muted in favour of sub bass which is not balanced- feels like the soundstage is further back, rather than up front, which is what the style requires.

Branshen

5pt @Fretwired lotsa punch, but maintains a nice dymanic range (unlike my overcompressed attempt)
3pt @paulmapp8306 top-end is subdued in the track so it seems less clear to my ears. Particularly pronounce in the section at 2:25
