The drums sound great, I can clearly hear the kick and the snare. Maybe you could even add a little roll between the kicks and snares but it's not critical. At 1:20 when you bring in a second sound it sounds kind of off. The tension building is lacking a bit. Also it's very repetitive. I would for sure add some variations in there. But overall it's a pretty cool track I would love to hear the finished product!

very danny dyrd sounding mate the vocal sounds good but doesnt really have a key or hook in it to be fair surrounding sounds are good though i like the little organ riff too mate but the drums are distant i think they need to be more upfront but a cool track need to get the balance right and will be fine mate

Good liquid stuff. Mixdown sounds a bit mono.
Overall tune sounds a bit "tame" at times.
Don't overdo it with the vocoded vocal as it can get irritating when repeated over and over, I like it better when the original vocal is partly audible too. When it is repeated it has something very dark which doesn't fit this style of tune.
When the organ lead pops up (2' and on) the vocal gets in the way (lower the level), maybe you could use a carrier wave that is one octave higher?
Tune has pro potential, it reminds me a bit of Moloko.

That voice is sort of annoyin' already nd its just th first min, Try changin' th effects it has, cuz they're upsetin', also make not so repetitive, th less the better.
The rest of th song sounds good, I think its worth finishin' nd I would like to hear th final version.
But really, take care of that voice, its really pissd me off.
CHeers nd good luck !

Yeah, go easy with that vocal. It's great but use it sparingly or it'll simply get annoying. In some ways, it reminds me of "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap. Solid beats throughout. I especially like the snare. Sounds phat but not harsh. Melodies are nice throughout.

agree with the vocal...I personaly dislike vocodized vocals (basicly this comes from all that disco shit that runs around these times), so I was a bit awared right off. Drums soundin sweet. Kick is nice and deep. Snare could be a bit sharper. Nice liquid stuff...simple but efficient. Breakdown really nice, drops nicely. I would fadeout (or high pass them) the delayed vocals after the drop...than the "take me" part would kick it in better imo. Just an idea Smile nice track, finish it!

Excellent criticism lads! Could'nt agree more with pretty much every comment, gonna minimalise that invasive vocal line, sweeten up the melodies, phatten up the beats, and create more dynamic sense in the arrangement. Only discovered this site a week ago, searching for a few more samples, but have to say to that it's blown me away to find a sanctuary for like-minded DnB producers, writers & just lovers of the scene. BIG LOVE TO drumnbass.be. And especially to you guys for sparing your valuable time and knowledge.

IF LIFE IS A RACE, THE WINNER IS DRUM N BASS!
