hey kemix
like the break at the start!
Dont really like that synth that comes in bit old sounding, dry and repetitive. bongoes sound a bit messy too.
Original vocals? not bad bit loud. Lots of premade breaks 
watch the clipping too.. try tursning your levels down and using a limiter on your master channel to stop that.
good effort but sounds a bit sloped together.. look forward to more 
2.5/5

Drums are cool and varied, but I gotta agree with reckon on that synth, it doesn't really belong here. Track got a nice kinda old school vibe to it.
Noise coming in at ca. 2:15 is cool, lots of good stuff happening from there.
Structure is real nice, variation all the way through, never gets boring. The synth coming in first and then again against the end of the song is the weakest thing about this, you should replace it imo.
You have a lotta EQing to do, sounds messy, but like you said, it's not finished yet.
Nice

I think you can make much with the bassline sound. now it is too muddy and undefined, yet all the other sounds are fairly crisp. didn't like the overusage of complete loops too. I think it's essential for todays music, the sampling of beats is a thing of the past and the thing which keeps your track from sounding fresh
some of the fx-ed vocals were distinguishably repetitious thus making a monotonous feel towards the end.
vocals were good, but nothing special, and a randomness factor creeps in the tune from time to time mainly because of the mentioned whole loops usage and bland drumloops
on the other hand the groove is nice and relaxing, the tune itself achieves to give a certain 'state', that's what I've been thinking lately.. it is an important segment which divides a real music number, from something that's just very well produced, but leaves a feeling of being lifeless like those demo tracks that come with your music software..

I like vocoder at the beginning, plus points for that.
You have chosen some good breaks here but instead of whacking down 8-9 different ones, focus on a few, well processed, clean sounding, well layered ones.
Old skool sounding pads- maybe that's what you're after?
'Running' vocal is also a bit old skool but like i said maybe you want an old skool track.
The dillinja - esque break is pretty powerful when it comes in but there's no distinguishable b-line. Oh wait, there it is at 2 minutes. Dark dark. Well the tone to it is nice and distorted. Good attempt at a rinse out tune.
Some lead sounds would be nice over the top of the growliness mate.

great intro, nice switch into the main rhythm, quick breakdown.
is that vocal cleared? who is it?
very strong drums, the drop is big! gets dirty too soon, there should be some interplay with the first break. I'd go easy on the amen, maybe bring in those drums from the beginning. missing those vox, though, bring them in occasionally. to this point its more like 2 tracks, if you stick with the grimy sound, I'd drop the intro in favor of some drumless voltage, and that dark vocal. the return to the mellow vibes/vox is too abrupt, I'd mix it into the prior voltage/amen.
To mix this track with others, I'd need more of a beginning and more of an end. I'd say have a second breakdown, and have the third chapter spaced with voltage, and beat swapping. Other than that, powerful stuff. Just needs some focus and you got it!

Nice intro, really techy, don't like the chords tho, they sound too simple. Dunno about the vocals, they
don't seem to stack with the synths and rhythm alot. Nice bass sounds, are they made from scratch?
If yes, what plugins? Gets cacophonic time from time, that's dissapointing. Anyways, nice job on this
one, peace.
