I notice some dnb move fast movement. I kinda figured out that the drums, hats, clicks can make it move, but I failed to make it happen. I improved a little but it just isnt banging. I am also trying to figure out what instrument or clicks this guy is using, it doesnt even sound like drums but it keeps it moving.
Can the dark ambient sound play a role in it too?
I trying to make my track move as fast as these two going 175bpm, but my song just sounds slow and lack energy. I tried layering, changing dynamics of hats. Delete cluttered sounds and spents hours just messing with drum loop. I use renoise for making dnb but I know there's a way to make this happen
You might have tried this, but I'll tell you anyway...
If you firstly make a generic drum n' bass beat, and have a hi-hat for every 2 16ths (1/16, 3/16 etcetera).
Then, load up the same hi-hat in your drum machine, pitch it up and lower the volume, and put it inbetween the first hi-hats you placed (so the new ones go on 2/16, 4/16 and so on). It's simple, but I may have explained it badly, haha
Your bassline/melody will also influence your perception of the tempo, try making a quick bassline - also have a go at speeding the bassline/melody up when you reach the main part of your song, and slowing it down for your breakdown... pacing will make your song sound ace

Yes, this creates shuffly, full hihat breaks. Try it.

what seems to help with me is put hi hats that hit every 2 steps
so like this
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
( - is a non used step) humanize the hihats, you can layer these too and really helps the song sound faster.
