drums are nice in the intro but i dunno whats gone off at approx 42 seconds its like you recorded yourself scrolling through samples man try and make it a bit easier to get a grasp of whats happening, also there isnt much change going on and it gets really repetetive quite quickly that said could be a good tune if you mixed it up a bit but not overly at 2;27 the same loop change happens again sorry mate not much more for me to say, i would work on changing things up a bit man and droppin those movements in loops. drums are good probably the best feature but no real structure

Agree with Tech on this one.
I was hanging waiting for the bass to drop to switch things up.

What you do have in my opinion, (if that counts for shit) is a tune dying to get out.

Like the sound of the drums (you need a few more edits though) and the little synth line although both are repetative. Ii can see what you were trying to do with the little switch ups on the 42 seconds mark (Danny Byrd influence?)

Just needs constructing better, and i could hear a vocal on that tune in my head (or it's 'the voices' again) Huh

Overall sound is sweet as though Happy

EZ Man

Not mad keen on the arrangement in the intro?? dont know? for me something more traditional would work a lot better?

Like other folk have said, that section at 00:43 is just odd?? slightly liquidish with the strings but generally just a bit odd.

synths and musical elements are generally too loud in the mix compared to the beats

Structure is unlike anything Ive ever heard before which clearly isnt a bad thing but dnb is a fairly formulaic genre which tends to benefit from a certain structure

Please take my comments in the spirit that they are made i.e. constructively but this is a very strange piece of music and not necessarily in a good way.....but hey, stay creative Big Grin

Nothing to say about this really, except for what has already been said.

A boring track with some potential (but needs A LOT of work).

i like the bassline, and the synths, it's mixed fairly well, with a strong kick, but the points kick stop it's just empty, you know you need vocals in this track, at all these breaks, but what a beautiful track.

Agree with guys. Catchy melodies. But gets repetitive too quickly. You cant expect the audience too keep up with the track so long withou any decent changes in it. I would advice you to use the main part, which is really good (needs better mixing though, and louder beat) and start over again. Add some nice breakdown, add some sweet melodies on top of it. Then drop it hard with some vocal (this track is waiting for vocal!!!!) and vary the bass a bit, play with the synth, do some melodies with it...dunno, there is endless possibilities in it...cheers
