Please check out my new track 'Zaflon - Dark Summer Days' and post your comments here!
I've already given this track quite a bit of time but I want to develop it into something really special. Just done the first bounce-down this afternoon
First track I've uploaded to this forum. Looking forward to sharing more music with you guys

Starting your bassline right from the start is never a good idea. IT makes the drop less pronounced since we all ready know what's going to happen. Make an intro and break down. CHange up the bassline every once in a while. Add some extra notes. It gets repeatitive. They guitarish sounding synth is a cool added feature but doesn't really do anything, have it hit some different notes from what the bass is playing. I like the amen fills. I think you should have it as part of the main beat to make it move nicer. Everything sounds good as far as i can tell it just needs some re-arrangement it will be dope.

Def has potential. Like I said make in an intro adn at the breakdown bring in the highpassed notes of the bass. Even just that will make it more properly structured. It's something that I would throw in a set.
i like your subtle atmosphere in the background, works really well
i agree with matty b about the bassline thing, you need a bit more development in the intro, the track doesnt really feel like it has dropped because i was already used to the bassline.
i do love your amen fills
i quite like the guitar stabs, i think you could do more with them though like a bit of panning and some filters mmm
Kick sounds very boomy, needs a snappy layer.
Amen sounds very lo-passed.
Intro is too long/repetitive.
Good buildpup, nice tension, 2:45 for an intro WTF?
Drop is dead calm, too calm. Sounds like a Metal band instead of DnB at this point. 3:27-3:44? Simply nothing going on except drums? Is this a breakdown?
Buildup with amen is good (although lo-passed) but the drop sounds thin without further amens. 4:10-4:53 What is this? A pre-drop? Nothing happens.
Way too long, cut 1 minute off the intro and the time zones mentioned above. Do something more creative with those guitars. Fix the kick, give more hi end to the amen. Make sure the structure would work on a dancefloor.
Has potential, needs a lot of work

Deep critique. Thanks for the pointers and time-code references BD. V-helpful

a bit of rearranging and this could be great.
Cheers man. Looking forward to getting back on this one
