Please check out my new track 'Donkey Stone' and post your comments here!!!


This is a tune I have been messing around with for the past three weeks. Having trouble making the intro work with the drop, so any ideas would be appreciated. Tune kind of jumps back and forth from hard to ambient, up until the second half which goes into a kind of old school jungle vibe. Still haven't worked a proper outro into it. Cheers for some fresh ideas, my ears are tierd of and from this track, that's for dam shure! Tossing it on the site will give me ears a nice break!,..Anypoo now I can get to work on making some samples...cheers...

intro sounds are nice... nice atmosphere goin down... i love the pad n piano together. hats n cumbals are nice. the bass comes in alright.
like the chopper on the pad. drops nicely... drums are cool. goes back into amb nicely... then back into hard nicely. pretty weird but cool in the break.... this is nice n different. probably could do with abit more work perfecting everything... but i like the ideas u got here.

Solid use of sounds, very rich and full! Always love the piano touches, adds such a nice ambience.
Big distored bass! drums are great, love the filering touches....
nice flow back into into the ambience again....

A little work on the overall structure of the track, and it would be great! Lots of potential and some great sounds!

Nice intro,, piano and the pad sounds great , well done!!!

That lead sound is wicked,, it doesnt get much dirtier then that synth.

I think with the drop, you need to make more separtation between the drop and the intro. Take the drums out when u first put them in and just have some atmophere and samples or something, then build into the drop, filter those drum in or a synth build. try it out,

i like the main body of the track, that synth is sick,

drum are nice, maybe some more kik.

the end of this has a great old school feel to it. Brings me back,, Well done.

your sound is really coming together nicely,, wicked shit

HUGE fat track!! Great synths in the intro - love the chopper on that evil synth (not sure if I like it as much on the backing sounds though). Once it gets going this is massive and the big spacious sound at 2:02 kicks ass (and again later several times). That huge synth with the sub sounds great when they are both just on their own like at 3:30. Love the variations after this part - especially the bone chilling filter sweeps (the main drums sound a touch dry in comparison to the big loop that comes in). The shit at 5:14 is bloody amazing - top quality stuff sounds massive and evil and sets the stage for the big finale (the final battle between good and evil approaches). After a few listens the back and forth style grew on me and is totally fitting for this track. And of course, your sub work is amazing as usual. (that whole dang middle part is a big slaparoo!). The boys off Suspect would be proud. Top marks from me bro - wicked track!! Bigup

pads at the start are nice.

old school

drums sound good but could use a boost.

i really like the piano. fits in well.

the fxs you put on the pads to give it that fluttering effect sound good.

nice sub

overall structure could use some improvement.

nice one. cheers Bigup

Intro sounding nice, the bassline is nice and aggressive, expecting chaos here ... waiting for the drop ...

1:43 ... finally Tongue Nice drums man fit together with the bass ...

That piano gives an extra touch to the synth and suprisinly sounds good with the bass too ...

Not allot of change for a 6min+ tune, got bored pretty fast ...

Should've been a bit shorter ...

Nice Pleased PassDa Spliff

not sure how I feel about this one.

on one hand youve got these very chill and nice atmospheres wit the tropical strings and piano, the soundchoice and arrangement of drums is spot on.

but I got bored very fast with the bassline - almost no variation.. subbasses are alright.. maybe a bit too loud

some cool touches around 5th minute, like the wobbly lfo filtring

not quite sure what's bugging me, apart from the bassline which sounds a bit like you put it there just for the sake of it, while got carried away perfecting the other aspects of the track, which is a shame really

not very much in terms of buildups too, I suggest getting some vocals or spoken bits prior to when the beats drop, and work around those

with a few changes around this one, it could turn out into one massive track

Intro: are these Technical Itch - Critical Switch pads I hear??? Shocked Sound really similar. Or is it just my imagination?

Really nice melodic intro and stuff, but the beats are too weak, no punch at all. I'd add some heavier
ones. Well everything's been already said before me. Cheers Bigup

P.S. I swear this is the Tech Itch pad I heard there.

the reece kinda drowns out the other elemnts int he start. nice work up though. ooo
i know, put a low pass filter on that bass before teh drop, give it more of a 'under the water feel' and than let it lose at the drop, hell int he drop you coudl get it goigng mad, and low pass it.

lol, you put a LP after the drop anda half.

back tot eh drop, nice...it's going crazy there.

oooh i liek how you get a bit of the acustic ambients to go and than just drop with no verb, that's a sweet unsettling sound.

you got nice change up after the first drop.

the 808 kick bassline lol.

intro sounds nice (nice cymbals there)
something wrong with the drop, maybe u should try turnin up that vocal sasmple there an let delay it a bit (drop needs few steps later (i think 8 but i'm not sure of it since it's holiday seazon an i'm wasted as fuck right now))
like the bassline but the drumz seem to be a bit to repetitive (altough they're edited nicely u could do better)
drop @ 2:57 works lo better then the first one Bigup
bassline could maybe reach some higher tones sometimes
03:24------> fat bassline , drumz that follow after that are really good too

03:49 Bigup that's some dope shit right there
05:04 nice experimenting with the bassline ...it works Big Grin
nice tune but could need some more eq on the bassline (but i was listening to it on extremely bad speakerz too (creative 2.1 MASSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIVE Big Grin ))
