Ok so everything is proper...
The beat the baseline the tune at all...
But the intro and the outro are somehow dull...
Maybe some link or Fx that would conect with the main part???
Overall exelent tune...
Everything is layered as it should be Tongue

I would rate it 9 from 10 just because the intro and the outro...
Keep it up men Bigup

intro is pretty good, altho minimal. minimal but at the same time complex...just real quiet i guess.
beat is nice, makes me nod my head. don't like the way you sequenced the kicks completely tho, when you have three of them in a row. guess im just bein picky tho.
like the whispering, nice touch.
first drop needs to be cleaned up a bit...doesnt flow too good.
this has such a nice groove, man.
i believe this one deserves a spot on my personal playlist.
sound quality is less than fresh, but that will come to you over time, as i tell everyone. actually its probly just the 128 kbps mp3 at fault for that one.
ok this song has a nice groove but you do need to add some more new sounds along the way...the beat is only awesome for so long.
the outro kinda teases...sounds like its gonna be more. it needs a little work.
pretty sweet tho, keep it up!
7/10

I really like the intro, especially that pow vocal and bass drop. it could do with some pans and stuff, and the pad that comes in towards the end (of the intro) could be develkoped and brought in earlier.

the bass line works well. not sure about the sample used for it tho. and it gets a bit repetitive towards the end. drum loop is good.

this isnt really my fav style of dnb, each to there own, so dont be down heartened. Happy

Killer track. As everyone els has already said, everything just seems to fit perfectly. Also said before, lot's more sound's and some change up's in the drums would really do this track justice. The analouge automation on that gargling bass sound that's throughout most of the track seem's to be about two loops or so. The way that sound carries itself through most of the track you could do some crazy knob twisten and or automation for every loop or bar. The voice samples sound excellant. The levels are fantastic. Your synth's are nice and meaty sounding Wink

This track has so much potential and it allready kick's ass. Nice one! Cheers Listen

I appreciate your reply, Erina said the same, I need to vary somthing more or add another Vocal... I had the main synth crunch varried and it sounded better with it steady... Maybe I just needed to sit and mess with the knobs longer. I will work on it. Thanks Z

intro is nice with thos dark background sounds
Starts simple but it sounds ok. Wow i like that break at 1:26 , its like psycomanic stuff but between the limit. phat drop but were are those hithats , rims 'n stuff? Vocals are impressive , allso that distorted crispy bass. You definitly got a style for the fx 'n background sounds but those drums need to be filled up and more punchy (longer snare , stronger kick) . It's like ed rush & optical stye ( in my ears)
anyway ...cheers. Wink

For starters the name is cool. I really like the dark intro the kicks sound cool. Good beat makes me think of something wicked. I like the break what is she saying oh duh sorry just heard it cool. Those clicking sounds need to be a little faster and it would sound ill. Th second drop is cool. It's probobly not your thing but I think it would sound cool with some girl vocals at the second area or some kind of hip hop vocal of ome kind anyway just me.cool shit man

Thanks for the review, (Still trapped in this world) I put a gag in her mouth sorry... Tongue

It needed another vocal, at the time I did not have anything worthy enough to keep the darkness rolling. Maybe I can find another DL. I appreciate your comments. Z

nice intro. got a solid durm intro... too bad ya clownstepping ;p
nice to see some dark music hitting the site. this is what makes dnb great.
that whispering chick is a great sample. this is my type of music Big Grin

need to boost up the hats at some points. well, need to pick up the transient levels on them, the incial hit sound on them... need a plugin or have to go in and boost the first bit of sound on it... helps give a crisp sound to them.

tracks repetative after a bit, could use something else. but the atmosphere is solid. doing reverse of the vocals more often would have helped, as an alternative like you did at the end.

the rest of the track seems okay, the bass line near the end the second drop i guess, sounds a bit to synth as in digital, as surya would say, but it just need's a clearer lowend. try finding some multi band distortion, thingies. VST's if you use em. or less attack on it, hmm...

i know what it is, you have a much deeper kick than bass, and in dnb it's suppose to be a much deeper bassline, anda lighter kick, like 60-80hz for bass and 80-110hz for the kick, at the deepest levels. well the bass can go deeper, but the kick shouldn't be so deep.

that's in house music. Frown

i'd love to do a remix of that, you have a bunch of really solid samples that' for sure.
