Sometime it is hard to find time to review other tracks. I have like three other sites that I upload my music and I am a moderator for one of them. I am working on two collabs also. I produce music for my cousins that they write lyrics for and all while going to school. My time is limited and I usually spend my free time producing my own music. I will try to review some tracks today.

Thats fair enough mate, I too don't review enough tunes myself as I don't really have much time to sit down and really critically review.
1) The slow (initial, comes back later) break
-> Really great, this really defines the track and gives it some soul
2) The sub/bassline
-> Too low, because I expected much of this song I put on my headphones but even on them I don't hear the bass like I want to hear it. It might help to put a high-pass on bass (can make a bass fatter and louder, even though it's taking away lower frequencies, experiment between 60-160hz for bass)
3) The 'squeeching' neurofunk sound
-> Done really well, yet the same comment applies as above. Some things are lost because it's such a low frequency at its deepest
4) Overal environment and effects
-> All done very well, in fact point 2) and 3) are the only things that made me enjoy the song less. I'm pretty much into liquid funk so I might be biased, but some higher supporting synth wouldn't do bad I think.
Overal a good job, you're indeed getting the hang of neurofunk it seems :-)
I have recently started to create drum and bass tracks myself, though I have been making music for a few years, and listening to alternative electronic dance music for even longer. I like the way it builds up the tention and it's already making me become extremely curious of how powerful it is. I would like for the drums to be slightly heavier, but the intro certainly makes me interested. I like the pad/string alot. The complete idea is actually very good, I must say. I guess it's one of the best tracks of its kind I've heard so far. It just messe with your brains. Try rockin' to this when u're wasted!!
hey bro great pads and atmosphere...really rolling half time drums in the beginning. Def powerfull synth programming and song structure but the drums are lacking some serious POWER. You need that kick to slam thru and the snare to be mega choppy sound like u only got one sample going bro...your going to need to get like 2 or 3 going to give it all kinda of depth and variation. That is an essential part of making dance music...the LOOPS NEED TO VARIATE. But really tho man this doesnt sound bad at all. Funky pads and cool drum ideas so far just need a couple more hours to get it more thick drum wise and what not. Good work Huckins..
yeah like the ideas , but too much wierd eqing on the beats , sounds like they have to many over eq`ed hats on them or there too highpassed , and they have no strength !!
i listened to this track on looperman before,i think i fav this track.i hear you put a lot of work on that reece well it payed off.realy like the groove, and the drum sounds good.the intro synt could do with some more layers,the sub bass sounds real dark and dubby just what i like.@ about the four min mark comes the best part of the track until the finich. i would bring in that part more than one's!a small teaser before the grand final @ that four min mark.i don't know wat nuerofunk is but i know music and know it is hard to make tunes so respekt for that reece and the work you have done!by the way i'm ultrabase on looper land.
