Intro sounds good maybe a little more FX. Breakdown is good, like the grind synth introduced. Sounds better after the synth is introduced. Z

changin the name on me huh?
the intro still needs to be filled up a little more.
that sample, the one you also used in meltdown...its weird to reuse stuff that stands out that much, try to find something else to replace that.
ur drumbeats have improved over time, definitely. pretty fresh sound, nice snares and patterns. it's nice how there's nothing off-center, all your other sounds wrap around the beat very nicely. assembly line "huh!" isn't overused.
use that little filtered synth stab, the one with only three notes, during the bassline, to make it flow better, because the bassline still sounds like its comin from a diff. track, it sounds too random.
the arpy madness breakdown...ugg still doesnt fit with that bassline at all...you gotta do somethin with that...carry some of the sounds over or something.
overall it just needs to flow better, a dnb song shouldn't be played out in acts like this (act 2: minimal section; analog bassline and beat with hip hop vocal samples; goes directly into act 3: nothing but trancy arps)
clean production tho, and they're all good sounds, just gotta put em together right.
7/10.

the intro is nice and spacey. goes on a bit too long for me though.

drums sound crisp. kick is really nice.

lead is dirty. luv it

great track so far, lots of intesting stuff going on there.

could use some more bass perhapse.

cheers

Man that was one fat track. That nice big meaty synth sound is a nice touch. Lovin the cymbal's at 00:27-30, nice attention to detial Wink The intro did sound a bit light. Your sound's and sample's are great. I could learn allot here with your tight structure. The drum's are nice and heavy, the overall track is heavy. Great sound quality. Rinse Rinse The track is fantastic when you change it up at 2:33, serious skill's dude. Nothing to really complain about other than the intro, so cheers and thank's for the listen.++Stu Maggoo++P.S. "Folk's are without a doubt bouncin there wee nogin's to this track". Woot

Likin it a lot mate. The intro is nice and dark.The beats sound big and crisp with lots of punch in the kicks. Not so keen on the igher synth at 1:30 sounds a bit cheesy. Bass sounds really good when it drops, especially with the pause but does get a bit repetative. Really well produced overall

Hell yeah this is wicked! The intro sounds fun 2 mix. The drums remind me a bit of Mampi's. I'm definitely liking the snares, they really stand out! The melody is interesting and very mature. Very original sounding!
Awesome breakdown!!!!! That synth is ugly!!!!! I would buy this!!!!!! The beats roll real f*ckin hard!
Second breakdown is sick! Real deep! I love how it drops back into the bass and thunderous beats! It's real natural. Doesn't sound like it needs much werk.
Illegal shit! 10/10

Heavy how the drums drop in, nice! Nice switches and edits too

Sounds are quite trancey again, but not too.

Nice n dirty filtered bass coming in. I hope it gets more bass when it drops?

Ah, it does. Sweat Smile Drums here need more hats and rides though, doesn't sound phat enough, an bit too clean acually.

Ah, trance arp comin in. Now that is a bit too trancey for my taste. Nicely done though.

Love the bassline man, great pitching and stuff.

When do we get the finished tune?
