congratulations for getting signed man
track starts off nicely, good background sounds... about the sub... sounds technically ok but heard this variation already in other tracks, maybe you could work that over. you have to decide about the kick, its a matter of personal taste... don't really like how they sound in a row (like at 1:41) . the break itself could change up once in a while. whole tune has a really nice vibe, but it gets a tad too repetetive... nice one though!

Hello, the track sounds great and it is perfect to dance to. I can barly hear the kick but then again that might be my speakers haha. The pad that jumps in every three seconds sounds pretty darn well with the track. It gives it that "red planet" feel to the track. The drums/breaks sound good too, I am guessing you put those drums together because you have a unique snare going on there. The Bassline is really catchy in my opinion, I believe it's the reason why it makes people wnat to enjoy and groove to the track. The mastering sounds about right. Nothing to say about that. Although, there is one thing that might give the track a bit of a more "colorful" structure. The melody, unless I didn't hear it, you should have added a meldody, something simple to compliment the track. Nevertheless, the track is well in good groove. Keep it up. :-)

kick and snare sound a bit to my ears, seem a little lost in the mix....top end sounds lush and crisp tho......cool build up, pads sound cool....drop seems like a bit of an anti-cliax after the soundscape build up....allow more mid-range into the sub or use a slight bit of distortion to add harmonics.....think the drums need more elements when the drop comes to get the track rolling a bit more....good tune overall, nice pads, jus needs more layers imo, sounds a bit bare...good stuff thi!

Well done on getting your tunes signed to Eight FX. Well deserved I reckon.
I must admit, I tend to prefer your dubstep tunes these days... but this is still a lovely tune. I like how the melodies pulsate during the intro. Very trippy stuff (a good thing). I love those beats too. Reminds me a little of LTJ Bukem again. Personally the kick sounds cool to me. The only thing I'd do to it would be to add a touch of stereo panning.
Sub sounds good to me too. Maybe turn it up a notch.
The thing which lets this tune down a bit is the structure and the lack of a lead melody. The whole thing almost sounds like a build-up and never quite feels like it's dropped. I still liked it a lot tho.

the kick is not very strong here in the intro but i think that's to the tune's advantage - cause it gets more attention on the snare creating a more "suspended" feeling.
the later kick sound has some 'boxy' qualities, which really become disturbing at 1:30. it rings at too high frequencies missing the essential 100Hz punch, also being a little too long. well at least for my taste.
no issues with the sub.
the snare has got a bit of a metallic edge which does not sound very pleasant - maybe a slight (1-3 dB) dip in the eq would solve that, or maybe just loosen the compression a little - i don't think a rather chilled track like this needs to be so loud. let it snap
oh, and don't take them ratings too seriously. i think verbal reviews are far more helpful and fair. that being said i admit i am a fan of yours
