Hey Phonetic wut up?
The arp type of sound in the intro made me think that I was about to hear a slow trance tune. Maybe you want to tweak the sound so it has a bit more of its own character to it.
I think the intro could include a smooth, soft pad, so that the whole glues a bit more together and you cannot here exactly the start point of your filtered break that kicks in.
Good drums, punch is ok, good eq, crisp highs. like that shuffle/roll. Hats are panned a tad too extreme for my linking, I like less recognizable stereo editing’s better, but that’s a personal thing.
Melodies are nice & full. chill sound you’ve got going here.
I like the bassline, it’s refreshing. It’s doesn’t have too much impact but I guess it shouldn’t be.
The piano in the breakdown could be better sounding…actually the high notes are quite nice, just the lows sounded a bit cheap 
. erm nvm.
Oh now the bassline is more upfront, nice changeup. A bit of sub lacks here though, the first part had more. And the drums seem to get droned a bit.
Good tune overall, a lot of atmosphere.

Lovely melodic work! Some good shit here.
Bass could use more variation at times.
Track has a little rough edge which could be even more dominant.
Good break work.
Mastering could use a tad more sparkle in the hi-end.
Last 30 seconds are empty???

Thanks guys, all the feedback has been great and will be sure to consider the changes you have suggested.
Battle Drone - The last 30 secs was mainly just for a mix out for Djs. Do you think the track could still use something in that last section?
Again Thanks,
Phonetic System.

Nice use of filters @ intro.
I like the trancy gated synths with the sub.
Nice bell-ish things @ 1:32
Break @ 2:15 is very warm, the synth reminds me of a late 80's track.
The drop comes nice but i don't like the robotic sound, i think it ruins it's warm sound. And especially around 3:40 after that it gets even more hectic. I'm almost losing my interest as it's getting quite repetitive.
The break and drop around 5:00 i think is nicely done again, it gets its warm feeling back.
Nice builddown also.
Good stuff, i enjoyed listening (Y)

The build from the end of the breakdown feels very logical yet it retains a really nice organic atmosphere. That's definitely a feature of the whole piece - there's a strong sense of direction throughout the entire thing - everything builds and breaks down in a very satisfying way.
The manipulation and variation of the melody is great from start to finish.
The vocal sample and keyboard exchanging and mirroring melodies from 3:45 onwards is a nice touch and shows nice investment of time in detail.
I'm not totally sold on the intro. Definitely respect the execution but musically, I don't think it incorporates quite as much personality as you convey later in the track.
I listened to this a couple of times. The multilayering of patterns and complex overall texture meant I found something new each time. Very listenable. Good show sir.

the synth in the beggining isnt really my cuppa tea but its cool all the same. sounds quite trancy i like the beats and the synth in the beggining. when it drops its lackin low end for me, some nice little melodys around 3;52 with that synth that comes in. melodys working very well infact wich is a good thing. good balance but could be shorter though i reckon it is quite long imo some nice melodic work though
