Hey, great collection of tracks!

Digital bells: Very interesting vibe, reminded me a lot of the knife/oni ayhun (the high synth, the chords later on). Not sure if it really needs the drops you built into it. As a sort of introduction to the ep, it could just as well have a trackier feel without the structure drops provide.
Cleanse: Don't like the vocal sample. (I don't like that sort of vocal in any track, they are a cliché) Apart from that nice and spare.
Out on the sidewalk: I would try to get rid of the "kick rolls". They might get me pumped, but I feel like my rhythmic sensibility is getting abused.
Zero Kelvin: Awesome! The drums are amazing.

Digital Bells and Zero Kelvin are definitely my favorites. Theres a lot of rhythmically interesting stuff going on, melodies and chords could be a bit more "out there" I think.

Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment!

Cleanse actually started out without the vocal samples at all.. but it somehow felt it was missing really missing an element to set it in place... it sort of lacked impact... I see what you mean though vocals might be a bit to easy an answer but i dunno... I guess it just does it for me.

glad you enjoy those two... and will keep your advice in mind when making future tracks
