Well I have to disagreee with Haph Price on this one actually. Little that I know, the bass seems quite alright on my speakers (which I just bought for 125 so there decent quality.)
Overall, to be honest, I understand the tune even less than the title. And I have nothing against mixing up different styles in a song, cos I have done that quite a lot myself. But there needs to be an element of continuity - which I think is lacking betweent the hip hop intro and the 2:25 drop. And then it just goes on and on and on. This is the first of your tunes that I have checked out - like the name btw - and maybe this is an bad representation. But this is a bit too strange for me. Or maybe the world just aint ready for you yet. Whatever.
The production seems pretty good though. And I like the oriental flavoured melodies and the bass lines are good. It sounds like what you have done here is just tried to sneak a hip hop song onto drumnbass.be by adding sections of uninspirational dnb to intersperse it. My advice would be to scrap the drum and bass side on this one, cos you have the makings of a good hip hop track or trip hop or whatever. You have the makings of a good something anyway.

I would say that the synth is quite hip hop, the drums are a bit like rap or something. The drumkit fits together quite well. The intro does go on for a bit too long.
The drums are good after the drop, nice and fast hi hat.
All the instruments fit in quite well together. However the overall sound is missing something, sounds like it may have been compressed or something. Bass needs boosting around the low freq imo.
overall the programming is good, but the mastering is lacking in my opinion. Also i think its a bit too long...

there doesn't HAVE to be continuty in electronic music, it can progress, and in dnb, it's not uncommon to just change gears. reminds me of Ak1200 Fake, how it drops froma normal hip-hop right into a drum and bass. and that was one of the best songs on the album.
but regardless, you're right there has to be that sonic imprint that makes the song sound whole. and that is a lot more of a production problem. production is hard. learn how to master you're songs, in every sence.
oh and the levels i am talking more about his other song more or less, this one has the same troulbe, i tihnk he compress his tracks with high sub and it drops the levels down then.

Don't like the "hiphop" intro, your leadsound sounds too much like a French hiphop tune.
DnB drop: quite nice drums, but lacking mid. Bassline is cool to.
Eeeetch! There's one of them annoying sounds with ditto melody again (3.13). Yuk.
Nah, not liking this. The leadsound and melodies just aren't my thing.
Structurewise quite well done and stuff
Sound is very high-end oriented again, although the bass is strong enough this time. The mid needs some work
1.5/5 for the track (I rate this as a DnB track, not as a track)
2.25/5 for the sound

nope sorry, don't really like it
nice idea though of putting the 2 different styles
together in1 song but imo this hasn't really worked out
in this song. i know little about mastering and so and i
do not know if it's my speakers or your song but i'm missing
a little base,, i mean it's in there but not much.
when the song reaches bout 2 minutes theres a cool drop-in
and a some pretty, neat but basic, drumz.
the high tunes are cool, quit alright.
i'm a big fan of quick drum'nbass with a lot of power
behind it and i'm not feeling that in your track.
you did a pretty good job i think but: .. the hiphop ruled the drum'nbass.
keep'em coming
cheers
