those beat fills are too much highend imo, the snare is very thin.
not bad sequencing although it misses something you can call a drop.
but the mixdown needs an overhaul, it has little to no mids
Im likin the ideas, finish it

cynik
i know what you mean about the drums being a little too high, i have been working on the mix this morning and am struggling a bit. so far i have taken -4.5db @ 7k on the snares to try and rid the harshness, also adding another snare layer that is pitched down to try to add more mids. I also grouped and eqd the drums adding a little @ 50hz , 4k and 10k, but i am still unsure of this. Oh yeh, i changed the hi hat sample so its not as annoying, and overall turned things down adding a little air at 15k on the whole mix. So far it seems to have contained things a little better, but needs more work on the mid range, I am finding if i add freqs to between 200hz to 5k it does not add much to the overall sound, so i have not done anyhting there. Maybe needs a good sample with mids, not sure.
cheers ofr listening cynik. I struggle with mixing a fair bit as you can tell, so if you have any advice, bring it on, i need it
I am keen to try to get this right, then repost it when its finished.

EZ Goonybag, love the name haha. Anyway liking the vibes to this tune, very effective, simplistic... but I think the high end has to be slightly more mixed down with the kick/snare 
compression also needs to be used on parts of this tune, especially one sample you have with the high-hat needs to be compressed as it eats into the tune and makes it sound a bit messy. Besides that tho you have good use of samples and ideas.. try adding more beats and using more to make the tune sound more round would be my personal advice, maybe change the bass every couple of revoltions (e.g use sub bass) do like the techy piano stuff going on definatly a good tune would put this along the sounds of DSCI4 or old black sun empire tunes. Keep up the good work!!! peace

starts off well. nice ambient sounds. drums well equalised. dont really like the arppegiated synth that comes in it becomes a bit annoying to hear the same high frequencies. the drop could do with some work it is a bit plain and boring. the bass is solid and sits well with the drums. i would take out the pad in the back ground and replace it with something else to fill the audio spectrum. tune does start to sound boring after a while as i dont think the melody is strong enough to play through out the whole tune and the bass sound is also a bit dull. the second drop is much better and is a lot more interesting. i think the intro and second build up would sound good with a vocal over it try mashing up some accapellas and fitting them in. all in all the tune has potential but still needs some work.

intro sounds good, maybe more atmospheric sounds to support your beats, which will automatically lead to your beat being more intresting.
i hear your second stringy thing come in,nice sound but could maybe be little bit saturated, doesnt fit the beat this way.
drop. - sounds pretty cool all together, though you should try to add some more layers onto it, its a bit empty at the start.
beat - try working with ghostsnares and more different hihats to make it more interresting. beat kick and snare are okay, maybe little bit more punch to the snare.
i love the sound thats starts at 3:20 orso, you should add that in the first breakdown too maybe.
some more effects would be nice too
well overall i liked listening to this track somehow, don't know what it does but its pretty cool espescially after second breakdown.
Keep it up! [love to have a full version of this, could you mail it to me maybe?, or add me on MSN luuk_Bos89@hotmail.com
