I really liked this one. Definitely reminded me of that tune in Super Troopers when the German guy in the Porsche gets pulled over and his wife bangs out the rookie cop. A guy in my former dj crew made a 45 minute re-edit of that song. I haven't seen him since...
Seriously I dunno what to say man, its too late for nitpicking. Drums sound nice n clean, breaks are cool, bass sounds pretty full.
Yeah, pretty good stuff mate. Nice and funky. Sounds a bit over-compressed to me tho. There's quite a bit of distortion on the beats, particularly the snare. Everything is at maxiumum volume and the mix is a bit too noisy. I'd deffo go a bit easier on the old compression because it'd soften the sounds a bit. I know you'll probably be thinking, "What the fuck would I wanna do that?" but at the moment, the sounds are too harsh, imo.
Melodies are pretty good and the beat edits are cool too. Nice work.

Good Structure, nice drums, Like the vocal samples, jst thinkin you could use some more bass sounds with bottom and more powerful basses. But considering this was done strictly in reason 3, I couldnt even come close. peace,

(IGNORE)Nice for a first effort, it seems a bit random tho. Not really sure the direction you were trying to take in this tune. The build up is too calm, there's no tension building in it and the drop is a kind of non event with the bassline just rudely jumping in.. Try and establish an atmosphere and gradually build it it so the drop is powerful The samples in the intro could be cleaned up a tad.. I can hear the white noise and grain from the original recording, cutting in and out, these could probably be taken out with EQ-ing it.. whack a hi pass on it and it should be fine. The drum breaks need to change up a bit and the EQ-ing sorted out. Lo-cut all the drum parts to about 50 -60hZ to stop them interfering in the sub section.. boost the high end on hats to make them sparkly and boost the highs a little on any cymbal breaks to make them sheen. Snare needs to punch through and the bass drum is mixed painfully loud to a point where it doesn't gel with the break. Make sure the samples you use are of the highest quality aswell.. Mix down and compress the whole break and layer some hi-freq breaks like sparkly hats and rides. It's very, very dancey as in it sounds like fast trance. Try and filter the pads so they dont have so much low end, its all a bit muddy down in the mid and mid low ranges. It reminded me a bit of Blames tunes, have that really dancy huge pad sounds which I like a lot, this tune could, with an amount of work be pretty cool sounding! I hope this is consuctive critiscism, Good effort for a first tune mate!

nice tune bruv. im really diggin this one. robot vocals work well. the fake drop is a really nice touch. good use of sounds. id def be movin to this at a party!
i like that sub bass melody, would like to see more of it! actually likin a lot of the bass work in ths one mate reece is cool
once the tune gets goin i really like it, think theres a part where u mix several ideas too close together before it gets consisten, try leave those bits for maybe the bridge
You did great on this track I really like the distorted bass in this track. Also I think that some of those vocal samples came from looperman.com because they sound familiar, especially the "oh yeah" vocal.Your other synths and fx are great. I can't really think of anything else that this track needs it is really good, or even great. I really like this track. Maybe you could add a little more variation but other that that it is great. I wondering did you use mostly loops or did you create your own sounds. I can't really tell I am just wondering about that. This is a great track!
