I have this track lying around for about 2 months allready asking myself if I has a chance becoming something good... Well, I can't decide... what do you guys think? Is it worth working further on?

Like the distorted bassline. Hurts my ears a bit at the current volume due to the hipass filter, but like it. Like the stab and the drums too. Nice. Bit messy @ 2.00 n stuff.
Would work on the EQ a bit more, a lot of hi midtones n stuff, that hurt my ears a lot.
I think the sub could use some boost too, but I'm not sure since I'm not used to my new speakers yet.
Overall good work, you're getting better with every track!

the idea was making a track that really gives the people on the dancfloor a headache like they would feel when their skull gets cracked...

hehe that being quite unrealistic, i decided to make it a bit harsh to the ears and tried to give it that 'sneaky partymelody' to make it sound sarcastic, u see Wink

tho I liked the basic idea better

Crazy shit Big Grin

The rave melody at 3:07 doesn't fit at all I think, but it's made up of different sounds, so you can keep eg the bass part of it but ditch the stab sound.

The intro is cool I think, and it invites to do some weird effects with the drums. The first melody at 00:22 is very very nice, I love that dark edge it has Cool

The basic idea of the rhythm in the beginning is maybe a bit too simple, but this evolves after a while... I would use rougher samples for the kick and snare, they need to be fatter, try some controlled distortion perhaps.

The voice sample is maybe a bit too loud sometimes, it's really overwhelming. When you repeat the voice sample rapidly you should put lots of modulating effects on it and move it around, it really screams for a special treatment Tongue

In general I really like this, it's special and interesting but needs some work Bigup
