Strings sound hyper sampled and that a bad thing. Try to get some reverb on them and turn down the frequency to make it more eerie...The synth programming is very well done and flows smoothly. But frankly the string bit is getting on my nerves and distracting me from the perfectly good drum programming. Love the simplicity and overall vibe. The best drum n bass is simple to the point and hits really hard. Not bad flams as well. The bass sound higher pitch part isnt doing to much for me and sound kinda to much for this track. I think some of these sound just need more shaping and modeling so as to sit perfectly with each other. Second drop is abrupt... I have said enough. Also the samples are great!!! where did u get them?
well u guys don't really need much advice on the engineering front, ur tunes are solid as ever
(whatever small issues u do have i'm sure u will sort out before the final master)
stabs at 1:40 are wicked, love the switch over to the sustained bass as well,
Thanks for the listens and reviews. Glad you both enjoyed the listen. We just finished another edit and will post it in a bit on our Beatbiz site. Cheers.
A little slow in the intro it seems like it drags out a little too long. The tension before it drops is hardly there at all. The bass/synth is very nice and smooth I like it. The overall track once it drops is very simply. I think it needs a few more sounds around the entire spectrum like the mids and lows. That is all. The track is definitely good it just needs a few more hours of love!

I like the overall idea of th song. Its not very original tho, but Its danceable. Dont take it personal, I like it, but Ive heard trax like these before =D
Th drums are commin' in nicely, but there's one synth that seems to be a little bit too loud, nd its pretty annoyin'. Try to change it a lil.
The slower drum loops are lovely.
Cheers
The synthetic sound of the strings seem to the distract from the true orignal potential of this track, especially with vocal sample laying down a certain phat expectancy. Love it at 1.25, the track is really moving now. The arrangement seems to very loop-based, as opposed to a definite build up and break down. I think the snare, when the track is upbeat could be a lil bit too sustained, whack a a higher attack with the transients. Enjoyable tho, if not a bit repetitive.

really like the intro....strings could prob use some reverb and some widening....little bass teases are spot on, really loving the build up!
drop slows things down too much...takes away the energy, think the drums need more to em, another layer to get em rolling more....sound a bit weak imo...1:49 things are moving a bit more, energy is building up....drums defo need more mid range to em....more shuffles and ghost snares i reckon...good stuff overall, nice atmos and build up, drop needs to be heavier tho.

Thanks for the listen and advice. Cheers brutha. Z
Awesome intro pad/string/synth thingie. Sample sets the tone of the track real nice. I'm missing some sort of drop that leads to the exciting part, flows over nicely though so maybe no need for a drop (?). I'm liking the resonance/wow'ish bass.
The samples are awesome, where did you find em?
Ahhhh very nice breakdown @ 3:30, with my favorite part after that
.(Does the snare come from a sample pack hosted here? Sounds very familiar)
Good stuff man, Enjoyed listening to it!
