oh this sounds nice on my speakers.. nicely mixed
love the ambient noise it's well placed.
groovey beats
man before 1:29 when it drops(?) i think u should try a low-pass filter on the entire thing that gradually brings it down to nothing, then at 1:29 let it take off
just 6 or 7 seconds of the filter.. then crrrash at the drop.
realy nice minimal sounds well mixed.. can't fault the mix at all
the "huh" vocal is great, but i think u shold tighten up the attack on it, and make it a bit more percussive Happy but that's only my opinion
flows really well, and breaks nicely in places. u could go nuts with teh rhythm in this, coz it's very constant, and deserves a bit of chopping i think. it would lend well to breaking.
i'd love to remix this trak!!
3.8/5

Let's review:

nice start, I like it. That voice (hu) gets on my nerves throughout the tune because it is repeating over and over. I like your progressive style of producing, this is similar to a house or trance tune.... in the structure, I mean.

The snare is very good, indeed. It doesn't take up much of the frequency spectrum, and still is punchy. This snare doesn't have to be snappy, so you got it good.

Maybe the tune is too repetative, whadaya thing? If you want suggestion, I would recommend for you to import melodies into the tune. Like this, and it is too repetative. It is little dull. If you can introduce a reece of some kind with more melodic line, you will break the repetativeness of the tune.

And USE MORE SOUNDS!!! You have a limited choice of sounds that you repeat throughout the tune. I know that it is progressive style, but this is too much.

You end is abrupt, no preparation for it, no prewarning - juz music end. I think that this is not how should be done, but that's my thinking. At least, you can put some sound that will increase its volume as the end approaches, and end with a delay effect when the song end occures. That will save you a bit.

The eq quality is ok, most of the sounds can be clearly heard. Compression lacks a little, little decreasing of sounds when snare punches, take care of that.

Overall rating: 3/5

Nice straightforward tune, but as said before, some variation could really do the trick here.
The well-placed minimalism of some sounds make the essence of this track.
After a second listening session, my ears started craving for a well-balanced and more or less adventurous bassline.
I like the reverbs on some conga-hits, the reversed orchestra is also nice.

Nice atmo to start with, nice conga

Cool punchy drums coming in: good work.

Bass drops in: deep and warm, sweet.

Hmmm, at 2.40, you're still going on wiith the bass + conga + beats and it starts getting a bit repetetive

Ah breakdown, maybe bring it in a bit sooner?

Drop: hmmm, more of the same. Nice, but gets repetetive quite fast since we already had quite some of that...

Nice track, very nice sound, but a bit too empty and repetetive

2.75 for the track
3.5 for the sound

I think a nice adittion to this track would be a bandpassed, nice roaring bassline with lots of mid and little low-end, to fill up the gap and give the track that bit extra Wink

I noticed right off the bat that the bongo sounds don't quite line up with the HH-GS, but seemed to work out fine once the bass and snare come in. A lot of bottom end bumpin in this track. This track is produced in a very housy style (progressive, repeating stabs and loops). I really dig where the reverse piano note comes in and everything drops but the bass, in fact those hooks are my favorite parts in this track. Overall very well mixed, very clean original sound.

Nice percussion in the intro. Sounds like it would be nice to mix. Yeah this is nice and rollin. You should throw some elctro shit in there and make it sound like some Kemal shit. The bass and everything would be awsome just me though. Kind of makes me think of Matrix. Hell yeah man cool tune Bigup

This grooves. Most definately. I could definately use a little more variation, either in the drums or in the bassline. Even making a four bar version of the bass line where the fourth bar is a variation would be helpful. Or if this song had vox or a melody. This song would be sweet for putting an acapella over though. I'd definately use it for that. And the end is far too sudden for a stand alone track.
As for sounds/mix...I think everything sounds pretty tight except for the congas. They just sound too generic for me. But I do like them when you hook up the verb.
Overall, I like this, but I do start to tune out by the end of the song.
