Cool track. I support any kind of originallity and this track is unique. The asian flavour works well with the beat. vocals are clean and well executed, and its a good melodie. The drums could be louder and i think the switch into the dark noises should happen a bit earlier but its a good track and I was especially impressed with your intro.

You are using a lot of samples, do you have permission to use them? If not I fear I'll have to remove the track... nothing personal, it's just that copyright violations are not permitted Wink

About the track:
Very original those arabic (or Indian Confused ) samples!! Gives a nice feeling, and makes me wonder if there are perhaps clubs in Bombay that exclusively play this style, made by local producers. Very well possible imo, would be interesting to find out! Some kind of bhangra with dnb breaks.

The timing and tuning of the loops is not really perfect, but it would take hundreds of cuts to make it better, so it's best not to bother Big Grin

The male voice is a bit too loud, his tuning wanders a bit, so maybe put him a bit more in the background.

Most of the percussion loops are really good, and excellently placed in the track. Especially the tablas loop is perfect Bigup

I'm a much bigger fan of the percussion than the melodic loops (voices, sitar, flute etc). It would be so nice if you could find some musicians who play these instruments and record them so you get a better tuning and tighter rhythm. This is very difficult and costly ofcourse, too bad...

At 3:40 the sound suddenly changes completely to a more regular dance track, which is a great touch I think!! Bigup The indian sounds are very gradually reintroduced, and in the outro we're back in India Big Grin
The 4/4 cowbell is too loud in this part though.

I think it's mostly Indian indeed, although the flute sounds more like an Arabic one, not sure. The vocals are defo indian too.

But Pieter is right: the vocals are too loud.

Give the percussion a boost. Nice work on these though. The tablas are really nice Big Grin

Twisted track anyway, but kinda cool in it's own way. Some some Spliff and you'll surely enjoy thisone on aparty Big Grin

2.75/5

nice intro, the strings remind me of jo-s (stateside N.y) very techy feeling the percussion roll Confused makes me wonder

the vocals are a bit much though. kinda sends the whole thing on its side....

the chorus vocals arent that bad,

the bass feels like it was almost an after thought, maybe bring the level up on them a bit.
