Just before the drop I got really bored, needs something extra there. I do like the drop though.
Some "in between" bass notes sound rather random to me. That saxophone sounds like it was an 8-bit sample, you can do better.
This tune is one of the best you ever made imo, I guess it is because you are still exploring the style and thus stick to the conventions more.
This has potential.

so yeah, the bass notes are kinda random to be honest, i as just mimicking a style, i didn't have much to reference too, infact i was trying to do a lo-fi techno song to start, then it just seem to naturally went to a dubstep.
but it's a dance genere, of course you get bored... it's why my songs are so fucking random, i get so fucking bored making most types of music... that "extra" you want to hear would be some sort of person saying words in a rhythmical way...
but yeah, so is it bad if it sounds like a 8-bit sample saxphone? ... and i was trying to go for off harmonics on the song, hence the random sound.... amidoingitwrong

Sub goes too deep, even when i turn my low end down. Can't be good for my speakers. I love the bass thing but it needs some cutoff.
Has some nice sounds but i prefer the more reverbish sounds with dub.
Good job man

I am not feeling this one. Becomes repetitive and boring after a while, maybe because of the bass. I believe the bass needs more edits and combinations.
It sounds like someone got bored while doing it. 
Nice fx, tho. Ok track, overall.

well it doesn't clip so as far as i know, it's well within the capacity of the speakers it's not pushing them too far. but thanks, i wasn't sure how good the bass was. now i know it's perfect. i didn't use any reverb with this track, i understand what you mean though, the more airy feel int he tracks. i can definalty change that. the bass cuts off at like 30-40hz.

shit, even Halph is doing dubstep
drums are very low vol man, crank em up, add more crunch
some wicked synthscapes and textures follow, really creepy 
that first bass is droning too much, Id play around with the filter envelope, so much space for that
no real theme, be it a spoken bit with a halph tone hit or a new synth line, because that blip is not enough
as with most of your tunes, I stay amazed with some things while others need more work

like the drum pattern, nice and simple but sets the rhythm straight off perfectly, could punch a little harder tho, the main kick and snare are a tad lost, wub bass is nice but gets repititive after a while, needs more edits to it, nice and warm tho....some cool little drum edits keep things interesting and some cool fx and synths too.....dont like the trumpet-esque sound, a bit out of place imo....nice stuff overall.
