again hard stuff, but more synth oriented. vocals (what's left of them) are Jemone

still rough around the edges so any ideas and comments are appreciated

some cool dynamics in the intro...
the drop is heavy n the drums are sweet.
but through my system the bass is way too distorted or something. not rumbling nicely.
the vocals are mad. some sweet synths. feelin the riffs.
nice patterns n arrangment. this has the potential to have a mega sik bassline... then it would kill the dance floor.

right the o mighty cynik

there isn't much of an intro.
oh like that filtered sound befroe the drop sounds really big.
woah that fucked up vocal is cool!!

oh now it drops Big Grin

that is pretty meaty. the drums are heavier but sound a little distant.
some nice synth sounds coming in n out.

the low mid is a little crowded and i think you need a snare that really cuts through it all and slaps you in the face.

maybe eq out around the 2-3kHz mark out of some of the other sounds to help the snares cripsy bits cut throught.

this is a wicked song so far.
got really good progression throughout the track and sound really nice sounds.
not a grungy as some sound i've heard you make Big Grin

man this is pretty raw. I like all the off kilter suprise stuff, like the beat dropping when you don't expect it, and volume shifts on the sounds in the first ten seconds. also i like the riff. the whole thing borders the insane, but never quite loses it, it all hangs together quite nicely. it walks the line well.

i think its a bit repetative, because although you manage to maintain interest by presenting the hook and the beats in different ways, another layer or so would help imo.

but altogether, tho not really my absolute cup of tea, it is a very atmospheric and powerful track, and seems very well produced by my standards at least. Wink

thanks man. I like the comment about bordering insanity cause that's what I was going for in this.

probably gets a bit droning, yeah admitedly I could spent some more time detailing every edit etc. etc. that's why I said it's a "rough" version

any more comments??

yep yep ; more comments comin up Big Grin
indeed a nice intro (filtered reeces keep working Big Grin )
00:23 : waht a massive stalling here
i think the kick could need some layering when it drops (snare should be louder to)
00:52 : damn that a sick vocal !!!! Devil
after second drop the track just keeps on bringin comin' more interesting
nice hardstepper u made ; just do some more layerin' works Wink
it's a smasher !! Drummer Devil Drummer

nice synth to start off..
stright into the dark stuff

wow refreshing to to hear the drums introduced then stopped to make way for a mean rumbling reece sound, that may i say has alot of chracter..

these drums are phat, could be a bit louder?..
1:30, wicked mate, an ever changing pace makes for a really interestin listen..

2:11 - i love that synth work your doing here, they sound proper dnb-like

dont know if its been said already but the track could use a more punchy snare to cut through the mix.. but these drums are pure class, its like arrangement-wise they're constantly held back only to lose it every now an then with some phat edits Big Grin Drummer

just the sort of track i'd like to pull outta the bag in the mix to blow the place apart, fuck man you could mix anything intot heis and it would fit well..

really liking your productions of late..

awww its finished... i want more... more i tell you!!

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewind!!!!


soundin phat as usual bro, nice one

thanks guys. the vocals are as I said jemone, that sick puppy

getting kinda tired momentarily of this heavy style to be honest, maybe it's the weather Tongue its freaking hot here, so probably the next thing you'll hear from me will be something less agressive

Nice intro, got me right into it. Big Grin
That synth pattern is really good, kept me into it. The vocal is very cool as well.

Overall this is a really cool hard track. I like it a lot.

It needs a lot more low end in the bass IMO, doesn't seem to have much to be honest.
Personally I'd also like your BD and SD to cut through a bit more, especially the BD.
I'd also have a few pauses somewhere in there that are quiteier and calmer, that way when everything kicks back in it seems that much more powerful.
It sort of does the same thing for so long it sort of has a lulling effect, which I'm pretty sure isn't what you are going for.

Perhaps look at how Current Value arranges his tracks, IMO he is great at keeping things interesting using very repetive breaks, and simaltaneously keeping things simple.

Great potential in this one. Keep at it!. Devil

Opening singular but adequate, getting the synths established, sweet first break and return 0:32.
Drum Comp & limiting superb, as well as the break 0:52 that vocal synth blend was off the chain. Again great drums all around, arrangement and dynamics. IMO I thing the bass could have been layered w/?,but Im not gettting that deep, raw feeling bass I want for a track like this. I thought the synths, although really really good (automation, control, fx and rythm wise) did get tiresome. Maybe a quick break for a minute would ease that up but TJMO.

Really Good Track All Around, Is It Getting Pressed???
