Please check out my new track 'Trapped' and post your comments here!

Tune made last night. Wanted to build the kind of track i would happily stomp along to on the dancefloor when i am off my face and in need of escapism. Not pretty but intended to make you nod. I think this takes a bit of influence from my techno days when i was in my teens going to grotty dark London minimal tech nights. Slag it down or big it up its your call. Just let me know what you think would make this track draw you in further.

Reason 4. Took about 3 hours or so.

Cheers, Hud

Vocal doesn't work for me, it has a different tempo.
It would have been better if there were some more drum variations (other breaks, more edits,...)
The breakdown stuff is a bit weird, the second drop is a tad weird, it doesn't feel as a continuation of the same tune. Maybe introduce the melody earlier in the breakdown. I would have loved it if you would have kept the minimal vibe in the second drop.
All in all this sounds really fresh to my ears. Make some more tunes in this style to take it to perfection.

not bad. could use some more kick though to really get my head noddin. start from the beginning. intro is alright. not that im one to talk about exciting intros lol. but the one thing that kinda bothered me was each time you changed key on that synth, maybe putting a little more attack on it to cut out some of that glitchy popping. hope you understand what i'm saying. it was more obvious when it was just the note hitting, but if there was some other sound along with it, it wasn't as obvious. but it sounded more like a badly cut sample. minor nitpick i guess.

i would have liked to have a little more anticipation for the drop. it just came in and was there. like battledrone said, could use some more drum edits, to just kinda break up the same break sound.

bass sound ain't too bad. i think it would have sounded a little more sick if it had some more distortion, maybe some saturation. give it kind of a more dirty sound.

vocal sample is alright i guess. i would think maybe twisting the vocal to sound more dark would have been kinda cool. maybe like a reverse reverb thing where you take the tail end of the vocal sample reverb, paste it to the front and reverse it. just for an example.

ending was a little abrupt too. wasn't really expecting it to just stop.

all in all it's not anything i'd be jumping up and down to, but i think a little more time beyond 3 or so hous and more attentio nto detail, this track could be slamming. i wouldn't call it quits yet. i think this one could have serious potential.

i suppose the bass is just too outdated. that kinda sound doesnt really catch my ear. atmosphere is there, but then, some dirtier / deeper / (well more advance! Big Grin ) bass would be nice. and at 2min, the other jumpup bass comes. im not a fan of these. but if its what you like, than its ok ofcourse. like the woman vocals. that definitely has some techno influence Smile always liked those. anyway average track with not really interesting bassline for me

i think this is a very different track! but i like it a lot. its very different from anything i have ever heard. it's very catchy and easy to listen to. i like all the effects and the beats very very good too. i dont think i have ever heard a beat of this style before.The main effect sounds very bubble and then all the other effects are used very well with the beat.by far though its a very good beat keep up the good work and keep making these beats. i like them very much. good work. awesome beats. great style
