Please check out my new track 'Diving Bell' and post your comments here!!!
I remember seeing pictures of old time diving equipment as a kid, and this track reminded me of being inside of a diving bell. Hope you find it somewhat unique!

Nice sounds in this. A bit too much low-mid in some of the subby sounds tho, and too much stereo. Structure needs a bit of work, needs a bit more focus. Kicks needs more definition, it's being drowned out by the sub bass. Good snare and hi hats. Good synth sounds, but they need more seperation cos they are figthing with each other a bit.
But yeah, a nice preview. Loving the Wormhole vibes!!

Firstly, I have to say this track definitely sounds unique! A lot of producers have the snare on the 2nd and 4th beat all the time, but it was really nice to hear more off beat drums. The build up worked really well aswell, especially just taking the drums out before the drop, the only thing i would change in the intro would add maybe a bit more of a melody, possibly using the piano sounding chords used that u used just under 2 mins in and in the break in the middle. The bassline worked well which reminded me a bit of concussion by noisia, one of my favourite tunes in the darker side of dnb. Big ups, and keep it unique!

Great beats. Yes, it is reminiscent of being under water. I think your beats are the strongest element in this track. Very rhythmic, they keep the whole production interesting and rolling. Love the high hats vs the kick and snare drums.
A reasonable progression from start to end, but it gets a little long winded by the 3 min mark.
Instead of the drop at 2:48, try a set of two kick notes followed by a snare, kick, snare to preempt the final drop. KKSKS
This track needs some seriously phat bass lines. Chuck in a classic Moog or a more contemporary rolling, dirty and distorted bass line. It’s all good but it needs some beefy bass for that real jungletastic feel 
All that said, you have some awesome beats and atmospheres here! Very nice indeed.

Nice track, but I do agree with the previous comment about the mid range. Could do with a bit more top end over all. It like listening in the bath at the moment. I think the bass would come through a lot better if you dropped the mid. I do like the beats though. Reminds me of Jonny L. Nice track

Very cool track, you definitely nailed the underwater feel.
The beats are my favorite part- very nice off-beat sequencing.
At the end of the drop, I dig the way the bass comes in at 2:45. However, I think the drum break leading to the main beat doesn't flow too well.
I agree with what previous reviewers said about having more mids and high sounds. Though normally I like pieces that are a bit more melodic, don't think a strong melody would fit too well here. I really like the ambient backing driven by the drums.
The outro is a bit abrupt. You might consider referring the piece back to the introduction and gradually fade out elements at the end. This sort of happens in the piece, but i don't think the transitions are completely smooth.
Overall really cool feel, I really dig the tune
