First Impressions & Appearance
I like the logo. While it does look like it's not been professionally done, it's simple and the way you connected the headphones with the text looks pretty cool. I am not a particularly great fan of dark themes and I can't really see why you chose a dark one for your kind of forum. Your forum is for music, it should be a lively and fun theme you have. Try a light theme with some bright colours' in it. I had no trouble navigating through the forums, and liked colour of the navigation.

Site Layout
I can honestly say that everything seems to be in the correct place. My particular favourite feature is the 'Daily Track' at the top of the forum. Your keeping thing's fresh by offering your guests and members a chance to listen to a different track each day, I'm sure they enjoy it.
For the size of your forum, I'd say you have the correct amount of categories and forums. You don't have them in the wrong place either which is great. I do think however that your forum descriptions could be a little longer detailing what each section is as it could prove difficult for guests and members to find the correct section to post in.
The only thing I notice was the copyright section at the bottom of the forum is pushed to the right and doesn't fit the table 100%.

Statistics and Activity
479 posts in 93 threads isn't bad at all, especially not for the 27 days you have been open. But having that post count with 67 registered members is not very good. The post count with that many users should be around 900+. I'd try to get more active members, you could always try some exchanges with other members around Forum Promotion. This could really boost your activity and you'll gain a few members aswell. I checked one of the administrators and I seen that they only had 9 posts, this doesn't look very good for the users visiting your website if one of the administrators isn't interacting around the forums.

Staff Moderation
Firstly, you have a staff page which lists the administrators for guests and registered members aswell. This is a great start as users wishing to contact you can now find out who is staff on the forum. I am thinking as to why you have 3 administrators for a board with this much activity, but since there may be other reasons/explanations to this, I won't ask. The only thing I would suggest is to give staff a different colour around the forums, at least then users can distinguish you from normal members. While checking the forums I couldn't see any inclination of flaming, SPAM or even rule breaks. Keep up the good work.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism
The first incorrect use of spelling I noticed was on the title for the section 'Introductions'. As I read it I thought it could of been a genuine mistake until I read your forum descriptions. As I previously stated, your forum sections have very little descriptions. However some don't even have full stops and have words with a capital letter when it isn't needed. I also noticed that the grammar isn't very good. When reading you could see that you keep writing 'doesn't' instead of 'don't' and some words are plurals when they shouldn't be. Here is two examples of this:
"Topics that doesn't fit in any of the other sections goes here."
"Music that doesn't fits into the other forums, goes here."
It should really be:
"Topics that
don't fit in any of the other sections
go here."
"Music that doesn't
fit into the other forums, goes here."
There was no use of 'txt' speak by any of the staff or members. Most if not all replies by members have decent spelling, which makes your forum more professional.
