Good stuff, a nice overall sound. It didn't blow my socks off but it's a solid start. I enjoyed the build-up section the most. Once the drop happens at 3.00 the track loses some of it's energy I reckon. It almost sounds like two tunes in one. However, when the original bassline comes back again around 3.50, the tune sounds more complete again and the two sections are brought together nicely. But I just feel that the change at 3.00 is too drastic, it needs more subtlety.

The basslines and beats are good. I'd give the saw bass some more highs tho and make it sound a tad more raspy. I like the modulation tho, that's good. With the beats, I'd add some more hi hats and maybe some shuffles.

But this is a good start mate. Another nice tune from you.

Not a bad intro. Could do with a few more elements

Drum need a bit more work. A bit robotic, add a few ghosts. I think the snare sounds like it is being pulled up to fast by a compresser.

DRop not bad. Bass could do with a bit more low. Drums seem out of key to the bass.

3.00 The change is to sudden. Maybe incorperate the bleeps a bit earlier. Sound like another tune mixed in badly.

Some good elements though Smile

nice atmos in intro, maybe a few more fx and other pad sounds would fill it out and make it a little more interesting.
kick and snare are solid when they come in, sound real nice, build up in general is all good.
maybe a few more drum variations would spice things up a little.
drop seems a little empty, maybe another break (high-passed for example) for beef the drums up, they sound a little empty at the moment, some shuffles/ ghost hits would make em roll a little more.
bass is pretty solid, gets a little repititve after a while, an automated filter would give it a bit more movement imo.
not a bad tune tho, mix is pretty decent, jus seems like its lacking a few extra sounds to beefen it out a bit.

Lovely kick on this one!

What i like in this production is the baseline and effects you're throwing in.
Although you might want to turn the drums a little down, and let the bass do it's job (so turn the lower frequencies a little up).
That would probably bring in a little more of the 'atmospheric' sound you're trying to put in your baseline.

Not bad overall. Maybe you could spice those drums up a bit. They have plenty of power (sounds like nice compression)but imo lack complexity. I would defo layer that shit up with some breaks and that!

I think that deep bass you have going is a bit predictable, maybe the melody could use more subtle changes. Also that "wawa-wa-wa" sounds could be more bassy. Very enjoyable tune. Flows through nicely.

I would rate this 7/10. The tune flows through nicely.
