Please check out my new track 'Blow Your Mind' and post your comments here!!!

LoL :-)

After the great response on my 1st tune I went loud and heavy with this one!

I didn't use any sampled loops, this is my first releasable break I've done!! (Well, I thought so anyway)

Feedback would be very nice :-)

Sounds really messy. If you could just tame that bass you could do great things with it, but it's sounds like a heavy metal death squad now. Then suddenly you play these really liquidish pads.
A break with toms on this style is quite funny because it doesn't fit. Cut back on the cymbals, it's just too much.
Too much "lyrics" going on, focus on the rest first. Your drums need a lot of attention, even the buildups.
Seriously man, I'm not telling you it is great because you are here to improve right.
One golden rule for starters, concentrate on the basics, a good break and a matching bassline that will get people's heads nodding.
And keep it simple, the seasoning comes automatically if your basic structure works.

needs more attention.

sounds like there is two tunes here not one.


the vocals and the pads are cool.
the bass hit on the end break works well too.

but yeah, like BD said, you gotta work the basics.
always make your beats sound clean as you can.
make sure the main kick and snare are the most dominant beat sound.


big ups for your 2nd ever dnb tune tho.
its probably better than mine was.

Punk dnb!! Devil Big ups for not using sampled loops!!

Yeah, kinda messy mix of sounds and styles. It makes for an interesting listen but they need to mix more naturally. Also, the overal sound is too distorted and mashed up, especially with the distorted guitar sound. Perhaps you need to tone the sound down a bit to help bring some clarity in there.

Otherwise, a decent tune with some good ideas.

awesome build up
what the fuck not into the drop at all in my own opinion. its way too much.
it all sounds good but it is way too busy.
strip your main bass hook down to a more effective simple pattern.
maybe turn those cymbals down a bit
