Like the drumwork, needs some dirty bass rolling all over it (also in the first 2 minutes). Some padds to give it a feel. Not diggin the stabs at 2' track is too much drums only but it has potential.

Oh yes, I love this!!! Those beats are pure f**kin rollin. The pattern changes are reeeally impressive too - I really like that style when you hear beats changing slightly and evolving to create different rhythms and vibes. You've really nailed the sound of them too, particuarly the snares and kicks. Spot on!!
However, like BattleDrone says, the track would benefit from a big, fat, dirty bassline in it. Not all the way through, perhaps just during the middle or start section. It needs to really follow the beats too and make them sound even heavier.
I'm not too keen on the FX towards the end of the track. They don't really add anything, plus they are really loud.
But despite that, this is the best thing I've heard on this website for a while! Nice one Scurf.

oooooohh, those drums. fuck yeh, sitting perfectly, lovely samples. I try to get that "mid warmth" in my drums, but cant quite get it yet, closest ive heard on this site is dj jimmyc and prob 7gun. big ups for that. I like the little filtered breaks, they work well on the ears. those stabs around 2 minutes sound out of place to me, personally id like to hear a roaring synth lead in there, something that cuts right through you. Overall though a cracker, if your keen on giving up any pointers on getting those drums soundin soooo nice, im listening!

nice techstep, I really like it. nice broken percussion, but the bass could be more @ the top I think. Really nice built tune you must have some mastering skills 'cause I don't hear distortion or anything else like this. Where's melody? :>

nice beat but some of the notes arent makin the progession you started with.work harder on your synths.also i know this is prob a preview because all dnb songs are works in progress so do some more arranging on the drums in the final post.ive found that when i make a beat with an off snare like that if i chop my loop from the 1st snare to the next kick you get a nice rolley sound.

The name appealed to me and i just landed on a bangin track 
i like the bass shifts.
some fx would be nice too just to keep it rolling from all angles.
i think this track is good the cymbals add lots of subconcious yet apparent variation which is good the song is a living runnin contraditive oxmoron which is great because individuality floods onto the dance floor.
the frequency shifts add a nice growling low bass which fits well with the roller type break and the drum pattern has a good 4 bar variation. if anything it could use a few more fills on the end of every 8 bars or so leading up to a big un at the end of the phrase.
overall great song well done mate

wicked beats man. i really love that dancefloor shakedown feel
to them. fuckin boh to them beats!!!
the bass hitts needs tro be lower and more stomach hurting tho.
also needs big ass synths to complement those beats.
good stuff, keep at it

brrrrrockwile!!!
i agree with the other people about those beats. they are proper rave dancefloor beats. maybe a bit too wide if you know what i mean.
more low bass needed.

That beat is BIG! Love the variations on the pattern. Got a nice 'Nod ya ya head' Feel! Love the fills!!!
i reckon the drop could have more of a buildup, and i would like to hear some more bass!!
I think the first half of the tune is much better than the second section. This is a really good piece, loved listenin!!
