Ok the first drop... Reminds on prodigy.... counting sems to be right..... Drums are played well... they have variation on every forth bar.... Bassline it seems to folows the scales proper with the drums.... The break is somehow not inventive, maybe if you try to make the bassline BP filter and enhance the hihats would solve the build up in the second drop... Scratches however in the break are cool.... Second drop..... It is very folowed by the firts drop (exelent use of arangement)... The arangement of the second drop is very good... counting also seems to be allright so I can`t say anything bad about the second drop.... Overall tune seems to be exelent, inovative and new. The genre reminds on Prodigy. I would say it is electrobreackbeat. Now the technical aspect... Bassline "dominates" and there are too much of low frequences in the tune, and that results in losing the drums in the bassline. If you equalize the snares around 6-8khz it will give them presence... Stereo however is exelent. Now the hihats. If you boost them around 8-12khz it will give them brightness. Also if you increase kick around 100-250hz it will give the kick fullness. The bassline. Try to increase around 6-8khz, it will give the bassline presence... and I think you have overapllied around 250hz, try to cut it little there. Overall mix sound somehow muddy... I think you haven`t mixed it down well... When mixing try to do it quietly...and step by step... Overall exelent idea, liked the tune and would definetely store it on my hard disk 26-10-2006 19:54 Friscko Aron Tinnitus Registration Date: 12-03-2005 Posts: 4,467 Helpfulness rating:  This one got my head noddin, which is a good sign It's not dnb at all, more like a dirty techy breaks something... Like scurf said, the bassline is dominating to much and the breaks dont come out too well, but it down a bit. There's some problems on the mixdown.

All I suggest is that the sound shape of your drums get sharper peaks. 9.4/10, IMO, general very-goodness. __ I'm trying to unfuck my sig. 31-10-2006 09:07 Encypher Producer Registration Date: 05-06-2005 Posts: 92 Helpfulness rating:  Thanks scurf thats probably the most helpfull review ive had from this site keep it up dude ill do my best at rewiewing any track you submit thanks again __ Through meditation i program my heart to break beat and humm basslines in exhillation... release 03-11-2006 16:38 n8teman15 Producer Registration Date: 16-06-2005 Posts: 64 Helpfulness rating:  heavy tune u nutter __ Da stix 01-12-2006 17:53 Bulls-I Producer Registration Date: 19-06-2006 Posts: 81 Helpfulness rating:  Yo, Intro sounds nice, indeed a bit triphop kinda, sounds pretty professional although your snare sounds a bit too dull, a bit too much zippin on the high frequences I think, would make it a bit sharper. Vocal good fx, excellent time for breaks, just at right time, I like the genre! Sample melod with vocal cutting is also very good, if just snare as a bit sharper it would get your head more nodding I think, u did a great job man!
