ye man im likin this one! nice beats like that 'double snare drum' style. nice sub too one o those tracks you would use in sets to get u goin.. like a warm-up track.. only problem would be that freaky synth towards the end.. imo sounds all over the place.. not my style but others would like it perhaps..

no intro, yeah sure why not Smile altho i think it would increase the effect of your beat a lot
its already a nice beat tho!
you stop a little too sudden at 0:43 imo
the drop isnt all that, it has great potential tho Smile but i think if you would make it harder, it would again increase the effect of your beat
i like the metal background thingee (dont know how to name it :p)
maybe some more vocals? just a thought

overall, im liking this! this can turn into a great tune if you ask me Smile Bigup

this sounds awesome in the intro... and the build is cool. then it drops into something i wasnt expecting... i was expecting a mad darkish tek roller, but this is still pretty good lol
the drums are mad and the bass is cool. the synths are nice.
really liked the intro though. the reece is cool also.
keep workin it.

Alright dude. Been a while since I left any reviews. The whole thing seems to be dead on its arse at the moment so I figured, if we all make an effort we could breath some life into the tunes section on this site. AANNYYWWAAYY.

Tune starts of quite suddenly, but I guess that done from a mixing perspective, so fair play, I prefer an into but thats just me. This'd be easy to mix in though so its all good. Drops in all good. Nice funky vibe. Some cool little sounds in here too. I like the little percussion bit. sounds like a comb filter or a fast delay. Adds a nice intresting feature. Not getting that much bass through. might be the speakers I'm using, but it does seem really lacking in low end. I like the synth that comes in at 2:10 but again I think its been EQ'ed a bit too drastically. Doesnt have any real balls to it, far too scooped if you no what I mean, doesnt seem to be any mid.

Tune has a really nice vibe but the mix sounds a little pocky to me, there is pleanty going on but nothing fills the space. I thinkn you could do with being a little more desicive about which parts you want to come through as it all works together but nothing really grabs you by the ear and pulls you in. I think this neads a few more drum fills and little bit of interest. There was a cool fill near the begining where you took some parts out and brought in a reverby drum sound. I would personally like more of that as I felt my ears prick up when I heard that, works really nicely.

This is a nice tune, I just think the mix could be fuller and a few more variations on the beat would help. Great vibe though.

nice build up, love the ambient noises in the background, they give a nice feel of tension to the tune. crazy sounds and samples before the breakdown, sounds real nice. Drop could have maybe had a little more kick to it after the epic build up. drums sounds good, well arranged and really well put together, could have used a bit more variation though? nice outro with the crazy ambient sounds again. bassline maelody was good, nice sounds on that. good overall mix and a good tune, nice work.

nice solid intro - like that style. Great pumping sub. This is one case when I think the extra snare layer doesn't help though. Drop wasn't too substantial - but the track is unique with some very cool sounds going on. NIce rolling track and groove - maybe would sound darker if the whole track was pitched lower like the intro. Very cool synth accompanyment - how do you get it to sit so nice in the back? Stereo imager or something? NIce one - finish er up. Big Grin

Warning! High potential preview!

That's some great rollin' shit you've got going on there dude Big Grin
This stuff is highly explosive, nurture it well to make it grow up to a big fat track! The synth commin in at 2:09 isn't really going anywhere I think, it needs to be thought a lesson. Drumlines is really really good, especially the extra snare that comes in a bit later does the head noddin' thing perfectly. This is your best work since 'Giant'.

A massive thanks for all the help and advice from the crew, i'm trying to return the favour today by reviewing some of ur tracks but my internet connection is screwed up and slow, its like having really slow dial-up or sumfin

anywayz i think im gonna lose the synth towards to the middle of the tune and add some more drum fills, work on the main bassline hook to make it more interesting, and play around with the eq on the intro snares and maybe like nosrac suggested take the whole tune down in pitch

lots to get on with as alwayz very grateful to you for taking the time and know that i'll be doing the same asap

peace Big Grin

restart your computer Wink

intro shows some great dedication - good thing, the sounds fit and complement eachother nicely

the tune is it's own, not particularly digging the bassline melody - but it's personal tastes man, nothing wrong with it as it is. liking the sound of it

not sure if I can suggest adding anything to this. mind you I'm at work so shit quality speakers don't tell much

I'll get back to this when I get home

heres a second take

quality intro as I said. whoa I hear a lot of sounds that I haven't in the first run. love the quiet atmospheric bit after the intro beat which goes to show how important that part could be. great synth leading to the drop. the vocal in the buildup could be more in front - eq

ok the breakdown is rolling. yes, I like the sounds you chose. not a pretentious tune at all, but one with a direction, telling it's story while not raising unnecesary fuss

whoa really love the reece at 2:10. would love if that part was introduced with a drop. ok now the synths are talking Big Grin not sure if that was some vocal vocoded through with that reece. either way highly original

lacking some more drum variation, could be I am biased by the stuff I'm working at the mo, which is of very choppy nature. but you deffinitely need at least a few different mini break-ends throughout

the sound is decent, the drums could be a tad more upfront but that maybe wasn't really an intention

work on this - it has great potential

PHAT Drum intro, good EQ work and compression on samples man! The pads an samples work wicked man, including the distortion / flanger on drums pon the build. Bass drop is slightly weak - my I suggest including a sub bass also man Big Grin
Overall a fucking heavy tune man, just needs that catch sample and you should put it out there Big Grin

Maybe a longer intro. Like the break before the drop, but the build is pretty basic... Like the drumz and the bass is good. Maybe more time on some textures and atmos. 9/10********** Z
