hey P,
the strings in the intro are wicked construction too. but the beats fail me a bit. maube its just the sound. again very cool basses. maybe variation in hats and rides is a solution. love the basses man. freshen the beats up a bit. hats sooner i think. very old skool approach. nicely done. fits. work it out could grow killer!
3,5/5
cheers

yeh i think i can't mess too much with the beat. personally i think that's the whole power of this track. rumbling and rinsing and clinging beats. it's not the usual shit no. thanks.

Nice start, but hats are way too loud for my being.. nice melody comes in there. Power-beats! Nice kick, i really like it 
The main stuff after 1 minute, could use some adding in instruments.. i mean only beats+bass = not very interesting to listen to 
Maybe, check this. At 2:29, the beat kinda ends, so the track is EMPTY. That's not very good i think.. try putting something in that spot. Maybe just put a hat in the beat or somethin'
Cuz this way the song is kinda too breaky imo.. The same goes for the stuff after the second drop. Otherwise, the track is very well built and has individuality, very cool.The beats could have faded or something near the end, dunno. The last *PEWWP* sound was cool though
I really liked this track, well-built, nice sounds, but try doing that thing i said about the beat. Maybe it'll get better!
Good Job!!

i can't believe foreign said you song lacked cuz it was just drum and bass....
i like the dnb in this song, there great, except thoes hat levels. just cut the top frq a bit.
it's good, i love the string samples.
the hats are too damn high though, in the start.
after that HELL YA! 
i love the bass, and the samples PWN, there soo cool.
the hats seem a bit high in the body of the song, but they work.
maybe a warm pad or something to make the body a bit more full, halph way through. it would give the song a fullness in sound, make it complete. sounding, you'd be able to strech er out a bit longer too.
ya, that's the only thing this ill shit is missing.
that and length. it's kinda short.
cool.

yeh those hats are way too loud and crisp and they need lots of work, also those fast 1/16 hats in the second breakdown should be taken out. fuck up the break immensely. this song only needs 1/4 or 1/8 hats nothing more. the break doesnt need to roll it needs to slash people's throats. haha. yeah.
thanks for the reviews and yer all right about everything.
im gonna make that second drop 8 bars longer and more sophisticated.
i don't know if i can add any more variation to it, though i haven't seen any one of you ask for that right? well. thanks any way.

The string sample in the intro is too repetitive but sounds are very good. Like the vocal sample, but it should either start/stop or change at the drop. Love the old school bass sound! What did you use as a filter? Did you use automation for that? Not enough variation in the second drop but when the hats come in it rolls really nicely. Love the punchy stops at 3:48 and 4:12 - very nice!. As stated above, there is a bit of conflict with the swung high hats in your looped drums and the straight quantized 16th hats that come in later. Ending is uninspired. Good tune 3/5, great sound 4/5, but nothing I haven't heard before (except for those partiucularily nice stops I mentioned!)

for what it's worth, it's not the quality of the variations that make it complex, but when you add the variations.

third track i heard, i prefer always "bitch raw"

rythm too loud for this type of beat i find, light rythme on this and it would rock
Even if this kind of beats is my favorite
get up get up get up

Intro: not too fond of those cheesy violins, but thats personal taste.
Bassline coming in: quite nice
Drop: hmmm, it would be nice if you slightly raised the volume here, to increase impact.
Drums are quite nice, but seems the track is a bit overcompressed, the drums become louder if the bass stops.
Gets a bit repetetive quite fast though.
Second drop: a bit like the first: nice but I think the compression results in a slight volume drop, which is a pitty.
You've got a nice drive going in the bassline and the drums, but overall it's slightly too repetetive. The second part is better.
Try working a bit on the stereo image, it's all quite mono now.
2.5/5 for the track
2.25/5 for the sound
