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

This is a simple roller that sucks you into a trance. Tried to pump the drums and bass a bit for that gritty Dillinja feel. Hope you're feelin it!

The soundFX around 0:40 is way too loud.
Intro is a bit long (aim for 1 minute max). It's pretty clear where that break came from (one of my all time favourite records :-) ). It sounds nice and very techstep, but the bass line is a bit blurry. I would find it really hard to dance to this as the bassline doesn't define it all enough. Track needs more elements (stabs, FX, vocal(s), padz,...) to create an overall atmosphere.

Agree with Battle. The whole mix is pretty messy, too many distorted sounds are fighting each other. I do like the dirty feel of this track tho. Interesting array of sounds (from the Fear pack?). Loving the techstep vibe!

Is that beat from an Optical track?? I'm pretty sure I've hear it before.

The main bassline definately needs more clarity. It's just noise at the mo really and there's very little melody to get any kinda groove going. You need something which is gonna make people move and get them into the techstep groove... unfortunately it's not happening yet. But keep workin on it bro.

you gotta cool spacey intro going but as been said its too long...

Snare is in over its head in the mix. Then the bass has a nice flow to it under the track. However its hard to concentrate on the track with the drums being so red. Kick could use a bit more definition. a good trick might be to send the kick to a group together with the bass.. then they can roll more together. or some eqing... i like a well defined kick with snare keeps the track moving...

also sounds a bit empty... but it has some ideas alright...
