getting funky with the bass, not my cup of tea but not bad
beats drop: nice energetic sense to 'em
second bass: awful sound, sorry. casio like or too default/preset Roland 303 not liking it
at 2:20 change seems like theres not a single element resembling that from the start. well see where that goes, building some tension there.. reece bass a little thin.. but a nice groove all the way
again a different tune at 4:00.. here comes the best part so far. Im liking this, nice breaks, I guess this is the main part
nice buildup again at 6:00, but when it drops, you should bring back the full attack you had at 4:00 ah I see youve brought it back at 7:00
not a bad attempt at all, not my personal preference, but put that aside.. if you concentrate on that main breakdown, make it a bit shorter (8:42 lol!!) it could work out well

i like the begining. nice bass line.
drums sound really nice, good beat.
hmmm. you start to lose me later on in the track. i think it strayes away fom the original bassline a bit too much.
the reese that creeps in at around 2:44 is deadly. you should leave it in after the drop at 3:30 but dont just leave it in, stick it right in your face, i think it would sound pretty sweet.(just an idea)
personally i think the body of song sould consist of your original bassline at the start. changing it around and adding things to it, as you did at 7:07(sound amazing!), but thats my own taste.
overall its a huge improvement. it really has potential of being a really sweet funky d&b track!!
i enjoyed it.
nice one!

yes... sounding very funk in the intro... then changes up to some distorted subby. production sounds alright although you could probably layer your drums and get a phat sound... well u do change the drums up. they sound better then. i dunno the theme with the basslines changes up something drastik here n there. but im not full into this style. but yeah sounding good with what u have.

yes yes well its saturday night and im reviewing on double u double u double u dot drumnbass dot belgium. says it all. right the review:
first off i like the bass line melody that comes in at 0:21, but imo its not its the right sound. i think you could do with boosting the low end on it, its a it light on actual bass.
i like the intro to the beat aswell, and the break you made. but the bass sound lets it down. for the paired down back to basics sound you got here, the bass needs to be really fucking heavy. but i see and like where the tune is coming from.
and the 2:19 change in the beat is good, but again theres not enough sound as it deserves. still htough its got a nice feel to it, its good. same thing at 3:37 maybe its just my speakers but up the bass i reckon. and i like the way the first bass melody comes back at the middle when youd forgotten about it. nice one.
dunno whats goin on 5:57 with the down tempo bit, the tunes overall structure might need changing maybe. ah shit though the build at 6:20 is really nice. still though (again) i think what comes after it tune wise needs to be made louder, cos the break itself is wicked.
overall, i think this is a really nice tune. i like the melody, i rate the beats youve made a lot, the sound effects are good aswell not too "self conscious". theres just something - ive suggested volume on the bass or maybe mid - thats lacking. fix that and the structuring abit aswell, and you got a good un, i think

intro: dark/funky not the best combination for me,, vocal s nice ,
--> you could put some intro-drums in there , lots more of ambi , a better buildup and a smashing drop.
exept for that , i really like the drums , aldough the tempo could be pumped up.
The bass (sub) sounds too digital.
The overall is much quieter than the rest of the tracks , pump it up , or use a limiter.
Or no , just some parts of the track are more quiet , check yo levels.
the funk inhere's right but it's just not my fav.
big up for the outro.

Very nice clean intro and natural bass sound sounds great - really nice airport style vocal samples and delayed cymbals sounds dubby. Drums are improved a ton - got a nice big cracky snare going - could be accompanied by some mosre ghost snares or bognos as the track progrsses. At 1:59 the bass seems to get a bit louder for some reason. Love the filtered reece coming in at 2:46 then where does it go? (this build goes on a bit long and sort of comes and goes), 4 bars plus the drop out would be sufficient and then should really open up (i.e. the reece filter) at 3:33 feels like a natural spot for a drop. Nice funky stuff at 4:05 (a wee bit of interference between this new bass and your kick drum though) this funky stuff continues really nicely and loosens up perfectly at 4:59 when the quarter note bass hits are allowed to sustain - great transition into the filtered trancy sound. The drums that cut back in sound a bit awkward though (too quiet too). From here the track seems to meander a bit with a less clear direction - still really cool stuff/ideas with your cleanest production yet (love when the bass comes back at 7:07!! - this is your core - work everything around symmetrical builds and drop aways from this central theme - this would shorten the track by a few minutes and make it more memorable). A damn good track, funky as hell, with nice crispy sound - just need to listen to the track as whole and map out when things should come and go - well worth tidying up - and with a clearer structure I can see this type of track being in high demand from labels.

Costy
Nice soundin track for sure!!!!!,, Alot of quality improvments for some of your earlyier tracks.
I think your track sounds nice n clear.
The intro sounds great, bass fits nicely
When it first kicks in, i like the drum pattern but it seems a bit empty,,
Also you should add some of the atmoph in the intro, to the body of the song,, that can add some weight i fined.
the synth that comes in i think needs to come up,,
Great track,, lovin it
