Like your intro (A lil' sudden though) I have he feeling the piano is a lil' offbeat, kick and snare are great cool hiphopbeat YEAH! ...

Vocal is cool ... Oh I just feel the drum'n'bass comin' ... nice OVERGANG to the dnb ... there is some hardcore inthere for sure, but just don't like that kick ...

Ok from 2:35 till the end of the song .. don't like Frown some messed up mixing for me man ) It just feels like you threw evereything together ...

That piano is annoying me to ..

Nice try, but I only liked the hiphop part Big Grin 6/10

Respect for the experimental shit Bigup

listenin to alcohol while drinking alcohol...we is surrounded by it

anyway...hiphop beat in the beginning is pretty well done. piano is really nice, fairly convincing.
dnb beat comes in more smoothly than i expected it to. some of the sounds in there i dont like too much.
another amen track?? all the fresh experimentation and then you go and use the most common break. i kno its alluring, but there's others.
the amen loop could sound a lil more fresh.
it was sorta weird how you faded everything out over the hip hop beat.
a lot of the sounds in here don't sound very fresh at all...you could eq it better.
i liked the ideas behind this more than in some of your other tracks, but you do need to get your post production skills up. to me you've always had a nice little creative spark but never been able to fully let it shine. oh well, practice makes perfect.
6.5/10, if it sounded cleaner it'd be a 7, i promise

yeah man, i gotta agree tho with these other guys. the amen biz aint bad man, i just think you should have used some other breaks to compliment the amen. i dunno man, im kinda half and half anymore when it comes to amen tracks, if done right i dont mind them, i just get kinda bothered when the amen gets relied on too much to entirely drive the track. good experimentation, just thinkin' maybe darkside has a good point about the creative spark man. you sound like you got soo many ideas, just get stuck in this rut of the same sounds. dont take me wrong bro, you got some serious potential waiting to fire off, now you just gotta let it out more. the track itself wasn't all that bad, but definitely could use more attention to certain areas. let it loose bro....i know you can...

Big Grin feel so weird , euh ... yeh i know i could do better , but i still want to have an own special style , something different but still massive , you know.
I think experimenting is nessecary , just to let me know if im going the right or the wrong direction.
Thanx to get me back on the track guys !

No Hardcore & simple 'firefight' breaks to me.

Ok next time i'll make it up. Happy

The hip hop beats in the intro sound a bit fucked up, like you made bad use of a stereo spreader or something...

Cool buildup with the hardcore kicks Smile

Drop: nice amenz, like the kicking of the hardcore bass, but I don't like that pad in the low-mid. And it's too loud.

The lowfi bassline after the second drop is kinda cool but too loud.

Imo you should EQ the hardcore kick as a bassline, to give the track more low-end and fullness...

EQing Roll Eyes ... I wish I could do it but i never succeed.

Nah , i won't finish this ... you can remove it .
I'll stick to my previous style i guess.
Pounding basses but still dnb.
... Now i'm working with the Fruity Parameter EQ ... good one ? or should i take an other?

well i use the parametric eq all the time, and my eqing is great.
i think you just need to read a bit about eqing in general, maybe, there was a good article posted around here a while ago...

I think this one is interesting and I like it. The hip hop part is cool it feels a little too classical but I like it. I thought the bass work was cool it's different and that's what I enjoy hearing the most is experimenting. My eqing needs some serious work but that's cause I don't have studio moniters. The bass wobble in the begining is cool. How come you decided to use that alcohol sample? It seemed like it should have been more evil of a sample. The drums sound pretty cool the amens I mean.
COOL LATER
