Please check out my new track 'Dance Macabre - first ideas' and post your comments here!!!
haven't produced anything in about a year, so this is probably gonna sound a bit rusty. Plus there is no structure as yet, just the very basic idea.
Haven't reviewed very much for a while, but I'll try to reciprtocate any i do reveive.

hey b-side been a while since I heard anything of you
funny stuff 
very spontaneous, reminds me of a track I made some time ago
yeah the production is shabby, mostly the levels, the beats are too soft and that bass sweep is way too loud. not too fond of the sound choices, theyre somewhat bland. others are hilarious ike that cat - like synth
but the tune strikes a stand in a weird way

Broadside - Dance Macabre is a cool drum n bass track straight to the point beats and dark creepy bass line along with piano sounds which also have a creepy haunting sound too.
I also like the space sound effects that pop-up out of nowhere on this track just giving that added haunting vibe to the tune.
The downside to this tune is that its short would be cool hear at least another minute and a half of the beats and bass it would get you into the feel of the track and perhaps more deeper dark sounds maybe, but overall despite it being short its still a crackin track.

cheers for the reviews
yeah 'bland' is probably the right word for the sounds. its probably a lot to do with the fact that im trying more than ever to engineer my own sounds from scratch
it is a bit sylistic tho too cos i do think that there is a virtue in simplistic sounds. like some of the stuff Q Project put out recently has mega simple synth noises, (or atr least thats how they sound to me,, maybe they had a lot of work go into them i dunno) but is still pretty good.
@frequnecyformat, thanks for the more optimistic review man, much appreciated.
anymore comments?

pitty there's no intro 
the drumz could deff use some boosting i hardly hear em 
there's something hypnotising bout that bassline ; like it a lot
then the piano comes into play ; real macabre stuff 
halfstep @ 0:42 is right in it's place (also here layer or bosst ur drumz a bit)
second drop is nice with that lfo'd sinewave;
this is deff a track that can work ; try workin out ur levels a bit more an ur there

Your drums seem to lack power and presence. They need a bit more punch. They aren't coming through the mix very well.
I don't really care for that piano/synth sound. Sounds a little cheesy IMO.
Maybe this could use some added horror fx/sounds/sweeps to give a more of a creepy/ dark vibe. I think an intro/ outro could greatly enhance this track.

like the drums, they sound well tight and fir together, maybe some more variation in the patterns tho. love the break down where things slow down, that bit is quality with a good transistion back into the dnb drums, mayb it could do with a better bassline? sounds like a good start to a tune, keep workin away at it.

Hmm the first thing that gets me is the synth in the intro. Its somewhat out of place and doesnt sound right with the tune at all.
And im going to agree that your drums are lacking the presence that they need to carry in the track. The beat is fine, love the beat actually, just needs more presence and you should be all set.
The bass seems to be muffled a bit. Eqing could definatly fix that up, along with most of the things it seems in here. The track kinda has a catchy feel to it regardless, im not sure why either. Maybe its just because its different.. Anyways just work on the drums maily, and maybe subistuting some different synth sounds, cleaning up the bass. Then you should be off to a full tune.

More power to the drums I think would solve the "energy" problem...
You could reconsider about the synths and the FX samples used here?

THe beats are nice... this sounds like something that would come out of fresh.... therefore a bit chesesy and on the dark side.. i love the scattered beats at 0:40 works nicely with the piano? or whatever... i would prefer the song more without the hollow sounding "bass" in the beggining. At the drop you need more BASS.... could hardly hear it, change it or master it better,... The song has got some potential, i would have loved to hear some deep woobly bass bizness on the drop... the song brings it atmosphere well to the table, too bad bout the bass.!! would like to hear a update on this one....

I like, its speciial.
A intro would be nice but this is also possible. The bass and the break are not one. Just switch your break a little bit louder.
Nice work
