Interesting sequencing in the intro, I like your use of toms, pauses and triplets.
Nice atmospherics in the intro as well. Cool bass effects before the drop.
Bass is a bit too distorted and panned IMO. I think it would work better with some more filtering and modulation to give it more of a flow rather than straight noise.
I really like the contrast between the lighter atmospherics and the bass.
This boy has made his homework.
Liking the drums, good atmosphere, EQ is ok.
Good tension building, nice bass action.
Some percussion element is too loud and the rides ar e a bit all over the place, but those things are minor issues. Bass is quite rough and a bit too stereo, keep the low end mono for better effect (avoid sound canceling).
Breakdown comes a tad too soon and could be less sudden.
All good, improvement needed on EQing, a bit on balance and a lot of mastering.
When making a full version, add some vocals in the breakdown.

First off, drums sound way over compressed, and that drum fill fails hard imo, not even in sync with the other drums. That bass is pretty good put clipping for sure, and needs more bottom end before the drop. When it drops, it sounds really cool, but you need to re eq that bass to get the proper sound out of it. Also, I would channel it with your break. Again, the bongos dont go with the break. They arent in sync. I dig the bass but that is about it, sorry man. If you re eq'd and sync'd up the breaks with the drum roll&bongos, you would have a decent tune.
big sound u goin 4 i like it
i dont think u quite wre u wana be at but well on the way diff 2 put a finger on its jus 1 o dem fings overall iam not over keen on the track but the individual elements arnt terreble
heres were i think u cud work on
drums need bit mo variation i like em but shud do a little goast snare acction cos thoose sixteens play all the way thru u kinda need to accent the ghoast (if u get me)
bass for me almost there if i was me i wud have a nother more dominent fillta on top cutin a rythem right thru
cant think o much eles
structure gud
notation gud
drum roll b4 drop wicked
all other synths cool give nice atmos feel
cuttin @ 1:30 heavy
still, keep it up
oh yer shit for sure loose the panning, chrous, stero whatevea gotta keep bass sound in mono trust, it sounds good on the head phones on its own or quiet at home but loud drum n bass its got to be mono ent gunna go in2 y look it up on site
Lots of really cool elements here. I especially love the melodic side to this tune. The intro is really strong and it got me totally hooked instantly. Wouldn't change a thing until the drop at 1.11.
Not too sure about the first drop tbh. The bass is definitely panned too wide at that point and it moves too much for my liking. Basses usually sound best when centred, and this tune is no different I feel.
The tune gets back on track at 1.33 with those cool melodies.
Beats could do with a tad more mids and maybe a slight touch of distort to bring them to life. Apart from that, the beats are spot on for me.
The second drop is a little better but I still think the lighter side to this tune is the strongest.
Good stuff, really enjoyed.

drums are sick right off the top love it. really good mix. like the tom fill too bad ass and different. bass could be fatter maybe afilter on the mids. like the chops at 1:30 or so enjoyable track overall
Thanks for all the reviews and constructive criticism mates.
I decided last-minute to put a chorus on the bass what really widened it up. I of course know that panning bass is a no go and widening it up isn’t good either. This will be fixed!
I haven’t really worked on the mastering & mixdown yet, just some equing to avoid clashing frequencies but I’ll deffo focus on that too.
Couldn’t detect any sync issues with my toms and bongos so far….
A lot of the elements here sound quite over compressed and 'sludgy' eg. the snare drum in some places just sounds like a fizz of white noise with no Smack. the melodic elements of the tune work really well, the little lead synth line over the pad is an instant hook! The bass is crazy wide and and fuzzy. I reckon that needs to be sorted out. beats are good, change ups all work aswell. with a bit more work this could be great.
Really great stuff here Gregg. Awesome stuff. The fill at 2:19 sounds a lot like Zenon's stuff. From newgrounds, if you dont know who he is. http://zenon.newgrounds.com/
Great reese, and the snare is punchy as hell. The fill-in stuff between the kick and snare (not the hats, the perc) is a bit low-fi sounding.
Other than that, sounds great. Pleas finish!

hi Gregg haven't heard ur stuff in a while
nice intro beat kick and snare punching thru nicely (although personally i would love to hear that snare have a bit more of a longer tail)
melodies - love it man love it
Minas is right maybe some more modulation on the mid bass hearing some of those sounds twisting in and out would make it more organic and just really add so much more movement in there
structure works well, all flows imo wicked tune can't wait to hear the finished version!!
this tunes gna be heavy! (oh not too sure on the panning on some of the bongos but still really good!)
Awesome mate awesome awesome awesome. how do yet get so much good punch with your kicks? How much low end am I actually meant to take out of it. Are y0u layering the kicks ....are you using peak control....man this is great. Certainly enjoyed it. Great job
this tunes gna be heavy! (oh not too sure on the panning on some of the bongos but still really good!)
