liking the pads in the beginning! creates a nice start, not sure about the sub level being in the intro, sounds a bit too strong... very nice buildup... drop is cool, nice overall vibe. bassline gets a tad repetetive for my taste at 3-4 mins.
good use of effects and atmospheric elements, works all well with each other... nice one!

Those pads are super sweet mate. Really feeling those. Gives the whole thing a very trippy, spacey vibe. The trance elements seems to work ok, although I would always keep them in the background. Otherwise it will turn into a trance tune. Bass melody sits pretty well with the pads but I feel it probably needs another FX. Maybe if you increased the modulation a bit and give it a touch of reverb. The piano is excellent - probably one of the highlights of the tune for me. A few tweaks needed but overall it's a sweet tune bud. Nice one.

cheers for the feedback chaps,
will take on board and work on the issues.

(i was going for a more "lighter trancey" feel with this one, as im getting a bit bored with all the darkness).
(dont get me wrong, i like a bit of dark, but its all starting to sound a bit samey, was just trying to do something a lil bit different, something that i could roll a joint, close my eyes and drift off on a nice vibe).

peace and butterd scones with tea,
lol Smile

Nice little tune mate, builds up nice with the pads and fx. Got an old skool vibe when the 'seduction' vox drops.I dunno about trance dnb, this is Ibiza dnb Wink

. Nice stabby keys, melodys and fx and that piano is just quality. Nice one.

Bass is too loud it makes all the drums sit back in the mix.

and the 3rd note of the bass line sounds out of key and the 4th and 5th ones come late making it harder to keep up with the rhythm.

nice pads and fx tho. and drums are good but just need to be louder. 2:48 nice with just drums and piano.

I like the lead that comes in later with the stuttured feel.

cool stuff

I wouldn't lose any sleep over his review, he's pasted this same thing in about 7 different tunes.

cheers tomos m8.

(if we didn't try different things in dnb then it wouldn't progress,
although some of my attempts are a bit hit n miss, i'll admit that.)

@uberchile.
points taken sir,
work in progress(as they say).

nice track but id add another "trance lead".
and maybe use some shorter notes.

or add the piano and turn up its volume.
thats a nice melody. WAY better than the fast "trance lead".

but hey, just my point of view. ;-)

Cheers for doing something different mate, that'll never be frowned upon even by us dark-dnb heads!

I'd say the drums sound really good but the bass is too loud, makes everything else quiet and kinda in the background. I'd say you've done a very good job mixing two different genres together, using DnB elements, trance synths, pianos and vox. It all seems glued together and cohesive.

Very nice job mate, not disappointed at all. Just needs a better mixdown.

Beats sounding nice from the off.

Those pads at the start are pretty nice too.

That sub/bass comes in a bit loud.(and unexpected) imo

That reece does over-bear things a little bit. would take some lower mids out or just turn it down a bit.

piano is lovely lovely though. reckon that could come up a touch in the mix

Think the sub needs more ummmph, you've added some attack and it looses impact a little.

Nice track marc, great vibes, always been a fan of the trancy stuff Big Grin

Like mellodies. Drumz sound alright. Maybe the song can use some more changes to make it interesting. Cheers.
