wow nice intro. very very smashy. but i thought that the beats will only last for a couple of bars, then you'll hit me with the break, and then the massive drop will come and omg i'll wet my pants. instead you keep them for a loooong minute and more, with no variation, same style, until 1:41 when that break finally comes. but i'm already bored when i get there. add some shuffled snares/hihats, and to this style i think some pitch-down stops, like you would put your finger on a platter then release it, would work like a charm.
and the break is too short. i cannot disconnect from the intro part cause you already come with the drop. leave some time for the break, do some bass variation, reverbed synths, reverse shits, then use a swoosh/windy effect or a long reversed cymbal, something to create tension, or even go for a pitch bend to a synth or bass to +24... then drop.
overall i like the bass, very very wicked, and the spatial synth.
your kick & snare loose the snap in some parts, because other parts take over them. give them some more dbs.
good work man!

Wicked basses and they sound very crisp and with good stereo. Snare is a bit on the week side.
I guess I recognize the break you used, but it wouldn't hurt to layer on another one because it sounds a bit thin this way (those breaks were meant to be layered on top of existing breaks to get more original sounding drums).
The mix is A OK!
Good stuff, keep working on this!

uhh i could easily mix it if I had any other amplifiers than ipod headphones, and a computer with an actual soundcard. Plus, i never called myself a dj.

There are some very very nice sounds used, very atmospheric and edgy, definitely my type of sound.

I like the drum pattern and I love the bass sounds/pattern as well as the ripped synths.

I feel like there is something missing from the intro, its lacking a little bit of character, something that makes people stand up and say "oh thats that tune"

There is definitely a nice track in here but there is no structure or melody progression from the overall track.

Im assuming this is not the finished track but I would certainly suggest that with a decent structure and one or two more samples that give the track its originality, you will have a very good track.

Im listening on professional studio headphones and it all sounds pretty decent from what ive heard, maybe lacking a little clarity or brightness but if you sent it away to be enginered they would be able to pull out the brightness for you.

Hope this helps in some way.
