Thanks for all of the advice, please listen to the final edit here. Here are some of the corrections we made.
-Changed the snare adding more punch and less distortion
-Boosted the mids in the bass as well as the lows
-Added some Tom fills and builds; as Fuji San suggested
-Added drum delay FX in the intro; as Fuji San suggested
-EQ'd a few of the sounds to mix them in better
very dark man, snare sounds just a tad too snappy (i'm one to talk i'm guilty always of that haha) - maybe roll off a little bit of the high end off? (just a touch imo), also maybe a bit more punch to it around the 150 - 200hz area (just what i would do if it were my tune)
only other suggestion would be to get a bit more melody with the reece and a bit more definition so theres more of a clear hook
all that said, vibe is dirty n nasty, just the way i like em - boh!

Thanks for the review. I will work on the snare. Cheers. Z
You are clearly moving towards a sellable more commercial sound which is a good thing as your tunes evolve in the direction of the dancefloor!
Tune sounds very mono, kick could use a tad extra punch. Bassline sounds a bit uninspired imo. Good FX and vocals, add to an overall atmosphere.

A good tune. Mix down needs more work. listening to it on a pair of sennheiser headphones and quite a few frquencies are jumping out.
Hi hats n cymbals can be alot crisper, more apparent. Drums need more work to be clearer.
I like the synth. nice movement. good atmosphere. snare sound s a bit crunchy, needs more punch, clarity.
Song moves well, like the talking in the middle. come s back after the breakdown nice n hard.
Good tune.

Thanks for the listen and advice. Here is the new edit.
I like it! I seem to like all your stuff these days.
Love the rides, they really add lots of groove. They remind me of Ed Rush's The Raven. They are pitched perfectly too. Melodies are great. I'd love to hear more of that sub tho. Sounds too quiet to me. Also, the snare still sounds too distorted and long. Needs to be shorter and tighter. Great use of FX here, particularly that vocal FX and the vocal dialogue sample. Like Battle said, the whole thing does sound a tad mono. I'd add some more stereo panning to widen it a bit.
Another great track from you guys. You've got a big score I notice and you'll be getting one from me too.
