Well I think this will be the first time I've written an extended review.I really enjoyed the guitar groove & horn ensemble. The drums were a bit boring for me though. I think the track would sound better with some change ups.The bass drops were a bit rough. Sounds a bit like cutting from one record to another & back again.It's a cool track I just think it could use some work on the transitions.

Good stuff, intro sounds really really pro.
The drop also sounds pro, but there are no elements form the intro in it, so it kinda sounds like a totally different tune.
The pitch-up effect was the first thing that broke the magic, it would be much better to use some sax note and pith that up from normal to maximum or something like that.
The bass is not bad, but I would not use this right from the drop, it's something you could use later on. The bassline sounds pretty weak as well (note wise).

I like the intro a lot. I love guitars in dnb.
That pitch-up effect was really quite disappointing. I'd use a pure sub instead of the bass U have after the drop. This way its disappointing like the pitch-up effect imo. With more work this could be a good one. I want to hear the finished version keep it up!
Thank you everyone for the feedback. I'll defiantly work on the buildup and stuff. I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong. I'm going to rework the breaks and remove that bassline.
this guitar is wicked, is that you playing??
like the horns in the build up and all the other elements but like everyone else said the main part just sounds to seperate. good work tho.

Well you said "sorry if it's too repetitive", but I think most actually wanted it to be a bit more repetitive :p
Instead of such a fat bass, I'd go for a laidback wobble to keep everything together, have a soft sounding synth playing a melody, and a variation of the guitar combined with it.
I think you could even pretty easily slice up the sample to use the softer synth to do a melody, and the guitar to finish it...
It has great potential, but don't try to always fall back into some fat bass with drums. This could be a great track, but it'd be more liquid funky if you know what I mean with that :p
I like liquid funk though, it's more listenable at home than "jump up"-style dnb. But if done well, I'm sure liquid funk could create an awesome atmosphere at a party! (I haven't heard a lot of liquid funk on parties, could be because I visit the wrong parties or because the finesse is lost in all the loudness)
grtz, looking forward to the next version of this track :-)
Like everyone else, I love the guitar too. The pads work really nicely with it too. Everything is great right up until the drop... then it kinda dies a bit for me. It sounds too centred and too thin. That's the point where the tune should go into another gear but it almost takes a step back. The bass and beats alone are not enough to carry the drop. For starters, the bass is a bit thin, definitely needs a sub underneath. And the beats need an extra layer too to fatten them up.
But overall, I enjoyed it. Loved the jazzy vibes.

Nice beat, very liquid and chilled. Interesting ideas in the intro which could have continued quite happily after the drop. The bassline doesn't really work, sounds quite thin and there's little or no sub, which could give this a whole lot more energy. The drums in my opinion are good, i like the crisp beat but it may need a little something more to give it a proper rolling wow factor. A good start, stick with the liquid idea and this could be a great tune.
