i am going to post some feedback on the clips i've listened, this may be a good thread please don't troll.
invalyd - NCD: This is actually very good Only remarcable things i'd mention is that i don't like very much the synth stabs around 1:15 i'd quit them or make them more complex, but feel a bit unnecessary, with some extra release and an automation delay would be better.
2.- Kick may need a little bit emphasis on the low end, sounds a bit muddy with the bassline.
Good job never the less not big issues.
Alffi - Uncourttrajet.. : I like the clap you are using here, has a nice progression, hats need more volume and i'd add some shakers around 2:05 instead of another hi hat line to give the track more drive. Feels a bit repetitive but very subtle. Needs a vocal hook or something to be really effective but has potential. About the kick i am not sure what to think it sounds a bit odd at ~3:00 but throughout the track i like how it interacts with the bassline. I'd try with something more conventional though.
Storyteller - Nieuwe tellertrack I like how it sounds, one of your best works i've listened. It needs a melody on top as you point and could be something very similar to Chris Reece or Edx's old stuff which is great.
Bluff Monkey - Sum Howse. This is very very well produced and mixed no things to mention from the technical point of view. Congratulations.
Richard Butler track: I like it, really good one vocals are fine show some extra self confidence, the reverb is very well executed. I won't judge the mix down since youtube is crap but apparently vocals are maybe too loud, shakers need more presence and kick is not punchy enough. You have some eye for drum n bass i'd gently buy an EP of this track and your previous and play it.

E Harris vs Stanley Steel - Greedy (Club MIX) Well this reminds me a lot to the trance stuff i usually make, has a very nice classic feeling. However i see some issues:
-Section that has no bassline that starts around 5:30, this needs some filtering or effects that make it attractive, right now it looks like the last beats of the song.
-I believe kick has a too long tail i like how it is layered with the bassline but kicks with shorter tails tend to sound better in clubs. If you've added reverb on the master or in the kick cut it this will help.
-To be a club mix is a bit stale, is not really danceable. Build up is not really a build up doesn't create any expectations of a sick drop.
I'd add at 3:14 the bassline with the plucks and at 3:41 highpass filter it and start growing it from the lows with a 303 acid line (check Angry Man - Tyrant (Angry Acid Mix)) this might give you some extra ideas, check the drop)
- The drop needs percussion, shakers or something to create some drive, this might server as a chilled down progressive trance track but most probably it would clear the dancefloor.
