Please check out my new track 'Infinity freedom mix' and post your comments here!!!
Well, here it is, my very own infinity version. This is actualy the first time I get beyond the point of making only a few drumlines or basslines. A lot of things could still be a lot better like the drops, transitions and the mastering, but the infinity legacy must go on...
Feel free to comment.

very good balance but very very slow. not really dnb apart from the mc and the sounds. your production skillz are good but the structure is a bit off for dnb. it sounds like you have a strong house background with a tilt towards a classic electro vibe. if you are leaning towards bustin out dnb i would suggest listening to some classic reggea and american funk and maby some "good" jazz for ambience.

I like the twisted approach to it, it puts a new bit of fresh air to the project.
But!
Drums sound awkward: some snares lack punch,
I think i get the idea what you tried to achieve with this remix, the feeling of the drumline has changed to a breakbeat-garage-twostep thing. But i think you should put some emphasises on some parts. Sometimes it doesn't sound like d&b at all.. 
The intro is sweet, but those isolated kicks miss some points. It's lovely though when kick/'Infinity'-voxsample and background atmosphere are playing.
The crash-ride is quite loud.
The little guitars + distorted basses are neat.
Song structure is,hmmmm, well,..... let's say i totally agree with stickbubbly on this one.
The mc'ing-parts are well places, but somehow abrupt.
But the sounds/stereo spreading/ and most of the eq'ing is well wicked.

It's programmed @ 160bpm, which I tought was enough, but it doesn't really feel in the track indeed.

Well that's only the sound then, there is very little electro I like, and never really been into house. Actually grew up on rock/grunge en moved more into techno later on, but been into dnb for quite a while now.

Wasn't my idea at all, well the feel has changed, but didn't have any explicit two-step intentions, but if that is how u see it

Well, I really worked out the structure in the intro, but for the rest of the song it was kindof a quickie.

As said when posting: transitions need work.

Twisted, best possible description for my state of mind 
In all: Never said it was totally finished yet, but it is a result I can live with for now.

Intro is nice with the dreamy sounds and the dark basslines.
Nice that you kept the original introdrums...
But now your new bassline and drums come in... Waaay to slow man, really. Also, the drums don't have any power. Neither does the bassline. It just wonders around a bit. But it isn't bad. They just lack some power.
And then comes the worst part: the MC kicks in. The MC is good and stuff, but he's rappin' at 176bpm or something and your track is 160bpm... the vocals are just completely offbeat! It's really completely undancable and really not that nice to listen to for me (I have a very good sence of rhythm, maybe that's why it bothers me so much).
Next time you use vocals, make sure they are at the same speed as your music man!
Mixdown is quite allright, but I was so bothered by the offbeat vocals I had a hard time paying atention to anything else...
Sorry, I can't give thisone a good score...
2/5

hmm, I know myself there are some errors and strange things in it, and I allready got some ideas on how I could improve them. But there are probably also things I don't notice, so anyone got some more comments?
