I would have liked to hear an intro, the tune starts too straight off imo.

drums sound good but they are too monotonous. How a bout some slight changes? Same with the bass, it’s ok but repeats itself all the time.

I already noticed in the very beginning that you’ve probably used too much compression on your master. I see your aim was to get a sound that’s as loud as possible but now anytime the basses are played they squash the sound and your drums get drowned.
Could be also bad mixing.

The splash comes in quite offbeat, is too loud and doesn’t work for me.

The breakdown type of thing is bad, the vocal sounds as if it was just thrown in there. Oh, drums are back now…and repeat…repeat…repeat. Ok this starts to get on my nerves!

Seriously, you have some ok elements, but you need to work your variation! Adding different types of sounds in certain intervals is not the key.
The sections where you just have those drums are too fucking boring. Add pads or whatever would fit in here…can’t say cause I don’t even know in which direction you want to take this.

keep working!

ez there, shuffles are nice although i can't hear a kick, i'd focus on tryin to bring that out so its clearly audible, particularly when the bass is playin

main suggestions as puzzle has mentioned is this needs a lot more variation, try layin it out so u have a clearly defined intro, breakdown, drop and so on, otherwise it can sound too repetitive, 9:43 is waaay too long try aiming for around 5 - 7 mins

Repetitive breakfiring with some wobbles at different speeds. Sorry, not very entertaining. You play the same break for over 30 seconds with no other elements then brutrally switch to a vocal and back to the break repeating bussiness and the track is almost 10 minutes long. Seriously man, doesn't this appear boring to you?

the bass is wobbling too fast for the tune, it dont quite fit in with the break. very repetative, too long, try and bring some life into the whole tune, it kinda drags you down if ya know wot i mean. There aint no intro, build up...

Uhm, this is 10 minutes of a loop with some sample.
I cannot rate this!
It has a semi-nice wobble at the beginning and the drumloop isn't too bad, but after 2 minutes I went nuts.
Sorry man can't give this anything proper.

the track barely changes over the 10 mins that there is of it....

kick is weak and drums get repetative by about 0:30 needs alot more variation, fx, melodies/leads drum changes. needs and intro the track nees to be shorter unless you can keep it changing otherwise it get very boring.

bass is pretty standard and the track isnt evry original.

but you have ideas and motive so keep going at it.

erm i would seriously think about ways that you could change this tracvk so that it isnt so mononous i only managed to listen to 2 mins because it was a bit tiresome pal the only notable change was the totally random swoosh that shows up needs a lot of work can maybe do something with it but its all too monotonous/random too at times.

more work needed mate sorry
