Ez mate,

I like those synths a lot, they sound really fresh. They're really moody too, they have kind of a sci-fi feeling to them. I'm definitely digging the vibe on this one. The drums sound crisp and I especially like the shuffle, I think the snare could be a little more pronounced in the mix but that's about it.

The structure at times is a little hard to follow, but other than that I'd say you've got a great track mate! When's the dubplate coming out? Big Grin

Didn't really get into this one until the drop at 1.05. The intro feels a bit disjointed and directionless to me. Sounds like you haven't give it much thought yet? Needs a bit more development to build-up the tension before the drop.

Once it drops tho, the energy definitely picks up. The beat is very solid. More rock than drum 'n' bass I reckon (no bad thing). I could imagine armies under dictatorships marching to this. Big Grin

Melodies are really good. Gets a bit messy in the middle tho. Kinda loses all its groove with those stop-start glitchy rhythms. I'm not such a fan of those because it sounds like there's a software error or something. Doesn't feel natural.

Like I said, basslines are great. Again tho, your bass sounds are quite muddy. They definitely need more definition, more mid-range distortion. If you get them sounding more chunky - perhaps slightly like distorted metal guitars - that would be heading in the right direction, imo.

Good stuff so far.

cheers mate, yeah this was pretty experimental as I wanted to create a 2 step tune that actually doesnt get boring. the way its done though, wasnt following a standard "make one pattern right then copy paste it" methods, but watching the 1/3s, more kind of a like jazz is done approach, not that it resembles jazz in any kind lol

the beats are done 90% out of the the think break lol. theres one backing beat (the one int he intro) but its just following the think. its actually the first time I used the think break

thanks for the feedback

beats are my fave on this tune.

i like the variation on them.
would love to hear a more "grungy" bass with them.
the shuffle caught me off guard at first but generally seems to work in the end. maybe add a bit of tension to some of the drops/switches

the synths popping in and out to say hi are sweet too.
just think a harder bass with like distortion n shit would be much better

nice stuff tho.

nice bass stabs Smile the intro sounds a little unfocused but when it drops that changes the drum patterns are a nice touch and as mentioned before the shuffles sound original stays interestin through constant changes i think that sometimes its hard to stay on track with it it seems a bit jumpy. but apart from that the sounds used are ace man really good Wink

Shuffle my truffle... the shuffles are awesome lil chaotic and disjointed at some points but over all i dig it the synths are smooth and i like the sci fi stabs loll wish i could write more but i tend to review everything with a "readers digest" type of writing. you know short and simple to the point. oh yeah, a nice intro would be nice to give it more build up.. i just thought of this today as i tend to be wishy washy on completing tracks i have come to the idea that i should compose my tracks like a good book.
