Wow dude that's one hell of a mean sounding track. Your drum's are fantastic, spot on! A nice bomb bass would be great at 00:47. Love the change at 1:54, man, I shure could learn allot from your presiyse structure, 4:53 another hellish change! Man your sounds are nice and meaty. 6:42,> great idea's! I've said this allot but a nice twin tube comppresser would work wonders on you drum's overall sound. Peace, and thank's for the listen. Diggin this track for shure! Bigup +++Stu Maggoo+++10/10.

cool intro,

i like the singing, it sound cool

your lead could use some more layers.

i think the track would sound much better with some different cymbals and your cymbals only seem to be coming out of my right speaker. maybe you panned them to much ?

all the ideas for a deadly track there. i enjoyed it.

nice work.

the intro is interesting but goes on abit too long with the same theme, i personaly don't like the snare sound but on a technical level the drums in general lack punch. They cut off to abruptly for the drop. I really like the bass sound u add later and I must say that the vocal samples are mint. the song has a sort of mystery atmoshpere wich is nice. I would really like too see a more powerful drum sound though. This song isn't really my style so I can't really judge it that well but for me, there are good things and bad things.
peace

Banana dont listen to these infidels, I can see/hear exactly what you were trying to do with this loveley little peice, (or not so little as the case turns out!!) the ambience is just loverley and loved the minimal drums with the scratch over the top at the beginning. The vocals could use a little more fx, try sticking them through an lfo or gapper in parts, but otherwise they add to the over all feel. It is a very chilled track and one the ladies will love to groove their thang to. BLESSED BE!! KEEP RINSIN EM OUT BWOY...

Pads in the intro aren't bad.

Drums are quite nice, but too thin, but as intro beats, they work.

Jump up kinda bassline coming in, quite nice. Sub is really deep!
Vocal sounds very good!

Drop: ouch, the drums from the intro again. They're not bad, but not phat enough for the main body. Really! You need a lot more phatness for this style. I suggest listening to Future Prophecies - Dreadlock and get some inspiration from those drums Wink

The kind of dragging hat on the left channel is quite cool, but put it more towards the center.

As for the bassline: I suggest boosting the mid part a bit, to give it slightly more grit. If nessecary: distort a bit.

I can see why you've described this as techy, I would've compared it more to downbeat d&b though. I love the vocal, even if it is very housy! I liked the intro... that is until the main beat came in. It totally sucked the life out of track for me. Once it had been going for a while it sort of blended in and didn't seem as bad, but I still don't think it sounded right. Apart from that I enjoyed the tune, dark and mystical yet bright and uplifting. There's a lot of good elements and you've used them well... just need to sort that beat.
