this one is makin' me jump. the bassline is SOOOO friggin catchy. it will make people jump up and down for sure!! this song is for tearing down buildings not PA's lol. You can keep it as it is short and sexy BUT what i think it needs is a good MC to TEAR IT DOWN... and maybe make it a bit longer... bc iv'e already listened to it 5 times in a row Tongue im gonna give this a 5. bc i really like fast catchy bulldozer basslines. this break is pretty relentless. props.Burst into flames HELL yeah! ppl can actually flip out to this. I wanna DANCE!!!!

Good stuff, needs a couple of extra elements to be really uproaring. Some mid synth stabs or a short and simple and short melody. But you got it right upto this point.

not too bad. it's a good start but i definitely wouldn't leave it as is. intro should be a little longer to buildup some nice anticipation for a massive drop. i can definitely see a tune like this getting a massive drop after the intro.

i like that burst into flames vox. even pitching it down with slight distortion to give it a real evil sound would work wonders. once the drop comes in, it kinda hits a standstill as far as progressing.

i'm not sure of your experience level with producing, so i dont know how deep into picking this apart you'd like me to go. i'm just kinda throwing ideas off the top of my head that might make this a big bomber. well, to me anyways.

the problem is the tune is so short that once i start getting ideas in my head or thinking of something, it restarts. but i would definitely keep that bass distortion going. i noticed it drops off somewhere from 1:13 to around 1:40 something, leaving only the sub bass and breaks and making it sound kinda empty. it might work ok like that if you used other sound fx to keep it fresh. now, just my opinion, but what i like to do when it drops is use a nice crash cymbal once that first drum kicks in, just to give the drop a little more impact. not overdoing it, but just enough to know it's there. i think it would sound even better with a crash cymbal when you use a silence before the drop, like you did here. try it man, you'll see a difference. just a small thing but i find crashes add a lot of impact when trying to slam a beat in.

could really use some hits and stabs throughout the track to kinda add some volume to it, other than just a repeated bassline and breaks. i've noticed there was some synth in there towards the end, but even tossing in some creatively placed bleeps, bloops and filter sweeps across distorted basslines adds a cool catch to it.

you're doing good, and sounds pretty cool, but this seems more like the basic foundation to what could be a massive track. just gotta really work that intro, drop, and breakdown towards the middle, then slam again with a bigger drop after, to really make the roof come down.

as far as eq'ing, i'd hate to even lend my advice as i'm not one to take advice from on that. but i'll say you're on the right path, and i'd honestly say you should keep working this as it could be really good if you take your time with it and be creative. Bigup

Hey thanks for the advice OPTIKAL ASSASSIN many of these things ive planned on amending the track with but its good to hear someone else say it to validate my own opinion. There will be much more work that'll see this tune really stretch its legs. As it stands 5 hours of solid work just to try to lay out the concept while it was still fresh in my head. You've come up with some very helpfull comments to assist the next stage of the tune so ta. Main focus of this tune was to have something that hits well with dancefloor in mind and for all there is energy there it definitely needs a better build up and a few complimentary sounds, however i dont want to over complicate it with too much going on and detract from the effectiveness of the raw elements of the tune as i like the simplicity and chunky b-lines in D&B so the more space for expanding these core bits in mastering will help me achieve this. Will keep ya'll updated with the progress, thanks again to all for comments so far Big Grin

This is what i love to listen to on most days when i'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I like how hard it flows and the intensity of the drums. It's good and i like the way you put it all together. I seriously jumped up to this so you got me there.

I wish it were longer! That's my only concern haha.

Over all good stuff man intro was very spooky but kept me listening until the first drop.

Keep it up!
