fine song,

but you begin with a killer bass which stops at a certain moment and then never returns thats pitty.it ( the beats) should explode a little bit more. and the overal sound is a bit too much too the high shelf. maybe some compression would do some miracles.
maybe try the bass sounds the otherway around. put the kick ass bass at the climax of the song or let it come back then. beats are nicely made vocals (specificly the first) should be brighter)
just some toughts.
Wink

cheers

not bad. Your kick is light. The beginnig reminded me of something I would have heard in 96 or 97 , but it needs harder dums.

The songs starts out real nice with such an atmospheric buildup and quite ok synths.
Bass kicks in with the beat following shortly after that. They both fit well.
But the switch (thre break + drop) to the other basline is quite awkward it seems.
I like tramens a lot, glad someone used it overhere finally, but is it meant to remain so quite and background-ish?
The whole song seems to have powerful sounds and ingredients, but it stays quite sober/controlled/modest/subdued.
But off course, dnb-tracks don't always have to be +100decibels/320bpm cannons.
Like your song.

wicked intro. some awesome atmospherics. luv the string section. just no power in the breaks. think thatrs the only thing this track is lacking. nice production, clean sounds. a lot of the track is built around the atmospherics, not enough beats.

2.5/5

nice intro...yeah, that first transition from the intro to the first drop is a bit awkward, and i agree about the drums hot hitting heavy enough...the mixdown could be better, as the vocal sample seemed a bit loud in the mix, and the tramen needs to be alot louder, you can barely hear it (if someone wouldn't have mentioned that it was there, i might've missed it altogether...)...the vocal sample seems a bit dirty, there's alot of hiss on it (not sure where you got it from)...

Intro is nice, good buldup.

Nice lofi distortion on that bass
Drums don't have much power, but that's not really needed for an intro offcourse.

Like the high screeching sounds when the tramen comes in.
the tramen itself lacks a bit of power though. Make it louder and punchier.

Buildup here isn't that intresting though, there's no tention at all, like you had in the intro.

And then it fades out... sounds very unfinished...

Your vocal is too loud every time, turn it down a bit.

So structure and buildups need work, sound needs work, and bring in some wickid bassline after the drop Wink

2/5

EDIT: I see most of this has already been said before, so there must be something to it Wink

Hmm the beginning of the track is lovely Pleased

There is a buzzy noise in the bass line, is that intentional? I would have filtered it off...

The buildup in the beginning is slow, I was really waiting for something to happen. The middle break is too quiet, will leave people on the dance floor wondering what's going on.

Second part is nice, great lead sound and melody!!! Bigup
Great toying with the effects, but it's got too much reverb, try working on the reverb to make it less interfering, either by EQing it or putting a ducker on it (this is a compressor with the lead sound in the sidechain - if you don't know what I'm talking about just ask Wink )

Drums are well programmed, but could use some bite soundwise, try putting them more upfront (EQ between 2-4kHz) and compressing them gently with a short release time.
