The stucture is a bit too minimal, first 30 seconds are rather similar, then suddenly a hefty buildup leading to a relative relaxed main part.

Track would benefit a lot from more variation, the main melody gets boring after a while. More bass is needed. Do some different things with the vocal as it gets to repetetive after a while. Add some nastyness it's called DIRTY dub, so make it dirty.

Not bad for a first version but now the cake needs icing to make it yummy.

so, i am no big dnbhead, but isn't this how the crappy shit goes? i mean old skool? you just loop a fucking annoying track with a durm, maybe a sample over and voer again, a change up at predictable intervals, and then let some guy go "i be comein at da base with da rocket sna d yelling to ya from teh bleacheas" or some gibberish like that?

seems like this song would be accomplished at doing that. just make predictable turn-abouts, you got them pretty much rollin' in thereas is.

i tihnk this tracks good. but maybe compress the bass a bit more.

the beginning sounds a little in between, Tarantula & Adam F. Is very simple, needs a little dirtier Beat variation and some FX samples. Bassline drops outta nowhere, and sounds a little like an average Aphrodhite style bassline, light sounding with no real bite to it. Overall it is a fairly good base to progress from

everythings fine but u have to add some effects so the listener would be interested , the intro is going on and on but if u'd add something here and there it would be much better , the same for the whole tune ...
I suggest adding different basses or use synth under the bass or just using way different notes of the bass , or leting it loose here and there ...
work on it and it would be a kewl tune

I like the Junglist vibe and feel but I found this track too repetitive. The same bassline and vocal sample is repeated over and over. Within a minute or two you've heard most of the track.

I like the beats though. The sound is great.

Overall: 6/10.

Intro is a bit bland needs more of a build up and variation. When the beats come in they are pretty cool tho - drums are nice.
Bassline is pretty cool - needs some more Sub underneath and a more overdrive and compression to give a much dirtier flavour.

intro was long. nice drums and cute little drop. but again gets a bit tedious waiting for the bass. like u dont need to necessarily bring it in earlier just like add some variation or summin else before it drops. u got some cool bass sounds, proper lazy, but im not too sure about the melody really. im not really sure about that other glitchy bass though.

although the melody sounds quite cool in the break down. and then uve got a proper little summer vibe after that. thats nice. but the 2nd drops the same really. need some more variation definitely.

Really good intro i think the main riff is really smart all i recommend is a bit more fill within the drum sequences a louder roffle would be cool, and a better sub bass line so you can feel the music, but not bad at all, if you take these points into account i would happily buy this on a 12" single!

gimp dj, lol, i was gonna use that name as an alias for some of my more mad stuff one day.
anyways....
there is a good and very simple tip that would instantly make this track better....variation!!
like, every 8 bars, scale the piano notes up or down, or both. and definately same with the bass riff.
also, the intro need another sample/element for more depth.

that said, i like this track, it has good vibes.

also ignore halph-price on musical opinions, this style rocks, and so does old school.
but take his advise on the technical stuff tho!
peace.
