Hi there!

Nice track!
Good use of synth-lines, very "organic" sound.

I especially like the intro, it makes me try to uhm, sync to the beat. Also, the Ghost in the Shell sample fits in perfectly with the "jack me in"/"tecky"/"Tracker-Style" sound of the song. Very nice indeed. The Cymbals/Hihats are very nice and rolling.

But now for the dislikes. The Rave-Brass (introduced 1:07) could use a little bit of "one octave down" bass in it. i'd say 70%normal/30%subbass. Furthermore, in the whole bass-range i'm missing something. Just a tad more Bass on the EQ would do the track good justice.

Overall, i think its a great track, good potential for a hit, and a good techy style overall. I just know for sure you have a good knowledge of your equipment!

Keep it up!

Like being inside the brain of a mad scientist, creating his best experiment!! This tune is awsome!! I would say your best tune since Snake Charmer!! Intro is awsome!! I love the spacey, eerie feel to it, build it up and then slap me sideways as it drops in! Once in it's groov'in!! then the little step and 2:00, pure genius, just love it!!
This track is very detail orientated, everything has it's place, the track keeps you bouncing, and wanting more! The sounds, hits, and samples, are very nice, clean, with each having it's own place.
For sure a tune that needs to be listened too an a big system to fully appreciate, first listened on laptop, with crap speakers, then home computer, then studio, with the studio speakers this tune just jumps all over ya, very hard to stay stting down to listen to it!
Great work!!

yer man thats a hot track. Intro nice keeps you interested, the drop has nice drum variations and i like that funky little bass. Technically i dont think the track needs work on, maybe a couple of effects added here and there would give a bit more athmospheric sound to the track. I sort of lost interest towards the end but that just my opinion.
It is still a well constructed tune and i would like to hear more of your tracks. Keep up the good work. Bigup

There you go!! You nailed it on this one - drums are heavy and punchy and synths are wide. Your extra time spent mixing has really paid off. Great drop, catchy Pendulum type synth. The bongos are key. Nice filtering too. This is without a doubt your best track yet. The synthy tracks still aren't my cup of tea but this has tons of melodic variation and plenty of punchy drums to keep a dark and heavy fanatic like myself interested. Whatever you did different while mixing this track, go back and do the same to your older tracks, 'cause this one sounds really tight. Superb, right on pt boy!

again this track seems to lack any deep bassline??

mixdown is nice... everything sounds quite present and clear

some multiband compression and some deep bass will finish it off nicely Smile

3.5/5

Cool intro!

Nice vocal too Smile

Drop: typical playful yet not dull melodies, which should be quite good for getting people moving. Bassline needs a boost though. Hats are a bit too loud. Acually the whole high end is a bit too loud and sharp.

Cool track, but the sound needs some work, so keep practicing!

Right then Bubbly boy Its MAGGOO here! Great track! I would add a little more Bongo madness! Great that your filtering your drums. Sounds great. Try sampling the presets you used and mash them up in your sampler! GREAT TUNE! Beer
