Sick new style... Could use some more wicked bass action but it sure is good! This is screaming for some soulful vocals in the breakdown! The breakdown is a bit too empty now. The Sound Effect you throw into the breakdown (before and after a scratchsound) doesn't work for this track imo. Reuse the pads from the intro at this point to prolong the feel of the intro in the breakdown.

I like the strings... the over all tune is not really my style but it has some really good points to it. the drums patterns are dope. Maybe a little more sub in the tune? it might just be my headphones, but yeah, good use some more sub possibly. At times it came off as repeadative, over all good work though.

"Clownstep is a derisory term, used by certain listeners to describe a certain style in a negative way, it's not a subgenre as such, but most producers would feel insulted by the labelling of their music as "clownstep"."
theres alot of individual aspects of this track i like, but over all i find it abit to here and there and messy, theres alot the track is trin to say i think more work on the structure and the blending of the tracks different aspects are needed its quite fresh but needs more work to turn it in 2 a dance floor banger, all depends on how u wanna work it.
Quite an unusual track (to me at least).
Love the intro - very ominous.
Then it gets a bit odd sounding (in a good way).
The only thing for me is that the track kind of wanders around a bit when you're expecting a bit more.
Maybe some big heavy falling subs here and there.
I don't know about adding vocals - personally I think they'd have to be quite dark sounding. Not in a horror movie way, just big long soaring wails - kind of like Smack My Bitch Up by the Prodigy)
I'd probably agree with the moneyshot in terms of breaking up the beats a little. I like the minimalist feel but I keep expecting a little more percussion or something here and there.
Nice rhythms though!
