Since you're presenting these as Drukqs-a-likes, I'll comment on them in that context.

 

 

I think there is a superficial link to Drukqs, in that the tracks have a sort of "full on" approach to composition and sound design. But you're missing the point by not really showcasing any strong musical ideas, riffs, beats, etc, and by lacking dynamics and subtlety. Where Drukqs' sound design is kind of restrained, grey and rather quiet, your mix sounds artificially beefed up and vulgarly ballsy with the heavy handed EQing and compression. As a result your tracks sound stiff and clumsy, where Drukqs' tracks are loose and elegant. In that regard your tracks remind me more of Venetian Snares.

 

To improve on these etudes I'd listen more to Drukqs with some specific features in mind, first and foremost composition, dynamics/contrast and sound design. The intensity both in sound and composition on that album stems from how a number of rather "thin" elements are combined, whereas your tracks seem to rely on fewer and "fatter" elements.

 

More dynamics please!
