I hear a lot of samples which I would have assumed were copyrighted were they not in a song posted on Drumnbass.be which doesn't allow such things...

But I could be wrong. Did you produce those amens or is that a chopped up sample? Its sounds very familiar, but it could just be the drum kit.

Very cool song. I didn't much care for the bass though. It could be a little lower and bassier. I liked the bit around a minute were you break the beat down real nice.

I've never been one for Ragga vocals, I can't understand a word dude is saying!

Also, make the bass a little crazier at the end when everything goes crazy, it stands out against the raving mad drums.

Overall cool song, assuming those copyrights belong to you...

yeah the bass isn’t so bassy but ya, i dunno, i kinda liked it. I’ll have a look at it again.

Can’t understand what the raga dude is saying either, if someone is able too…respect xD but you know it just sound cool in the track.

The amen is no ready sliced sample of course! No copyrighted stuff in here as far as I know.

Thx for the review!

Not my cup of Tea.
Sounds muffled. Those trance sounds really get lost in the war. You made a combination which is very hard to pull off, on one side there's trance which is rather soft and emotional and on the other hand there´s glitchcore which is like a machinegun (not soft not emotional, like machineguns tend to be).
Seems like you've thrown together a lot of stuff which doesn't fit reallly.

not to keen on the ragga vocal. I love dark side ragga though.

Quite like the smashed up amen. I really like glitchy stuff. Nice bouncy bass drum.

I am enjoying this, nice track. Might be on the wrong site for this type of track, by looking at some of the comments though Wink

Gets big marks by me. Easy bro.

Overall, I like most of it. But there's some strange changes. It goes from quite funky-amen-Ragga shizzle to some kind of squelchy, mashed up choppage. I'm not sure that the two different parts fit together in the same tune. I enjoyed the ragga vocals and the junglist vibes much more, so if this was my tune I'd concentrate on developing a solid tune based around thos elements. Plus, I'd add some deeper sub into the mix. It'd sound brilliant in a tune like this. The amen breaks are cool but they've been done so many times it's almost impossible to generate any suprises there (then again, that probably wasn't your intention, so forget that comment). Btw, I love that build-up section from 1.25 to 1.36.

Hey man,

I really enjoy the initial vibe of the track. The chord progression is sick! As other reviewers said earlier, a bit of sub would fit in very well.

I think the track falls apart a bit after the drop around 1:40. I think you need to lessen up on the bass drone in the background. I'm glad that you brought in some glitch effects Smile I really liked your previous glitch work on Verres.

At 2:40 the return to the original melody is nice, but it's undermined by the drum filtering. Personally, I would have it go back to a restatement of the original theme, possibly with some pads in the background, and then end the track.

I think if you can keep the melodic backing a bit more consistent and continue the vibe from the first minute, you'll have a sick track!

love me jungle!! love the break, rollin and well done, nicely equed!!!! i think that the vocal deffinately needs to be cut up and made to fit the tune, kinda goes out in places. i love how youve changed the vocal leading up to the 2nd drop and i love it after the tune, cant beat amens flying all over the place! bass, hmm im not too sure about it, i think thats its well done, its just my personal taste thats not sure weather i like it or not. breaks 10 outa 10 though

Hey,

I listened to this track some more...

I REALLY like your synth melodies. The chords are great, and the main lead is really catchy as well. The riff got stuck in my head for most of the day Smile

If you haven't heard it yet, I would take a look at Vic Acid by Squarepusher. Might help a bit with tightening up the arrangement.

What program are you using, and how do you nail the beat edits? I want to try some drill n bass but I'm having trouble breaking into it.

hello mate. not bad i think, nice jungle beats good variations. i think the tune gets a bit messy in places, needs to be more solid

oh i understood one of the bits the ragga dude is sayin in the vocal "screw you" lol!

so overall - nice beats, musically could do with a bit more work

Thank y’all for reviewing, glad you took the time.

@ brucifer: thanks man, glad you still like the tune even with the strange mix of genres. Next time traditional drum n bass again.

@ tomos: deeper sub will be added. Yeah, the amen is an old hat. Thx

@ MinasTirithGuard: Thanks for you detailed review. I think the thing I liked most in this tune is are the chords, too.
This tune was made in FL, cause the slicer is simply the best for sick drum programming. Apart I also use reason.
Btw, glad you remember my previous track .

@ junglist06 and Ketz: Thx for both of your reviews. Will see what could be done with the ragga vocal to make it fit better.
haha, the “screw you” was actually the only part I really understood, too.
