More experimentalist

More experimentalist hardcore with a twist of ambient than drum n bass, but a decent attempt nevertheless! Production could be better, tho!

here is a problem with the beat.
not enough of punch, dynamics & presence.
not much into the vibe. punky.
the main riff's synth is too loud imho.

The intro is pretty cool but

The intro is pretty cool but that synth just before the drums is a bit cheesy. The drums in this tune I like alot. Theyve got a good groove and they change a couple off times during the tune still preserving its character wich make them very intresting. What I feel this tune lacks is a real drop where you feel that everything sets off. The arrangement is set upp good for a drop but I think the drums would need more punch to really get the drop off. And that there would be some more instruments not used before. I also feel that the main synth kills the rest of the track a bit. Great drum work I must say was really intresting hearing. Anohter thing wich is very nice with this track is somehow how the beat interacts with the bass or maybe its just the
low end of the kicks. Well it works out real cool.

Some interesting ideas here, not really mainstream dnb in sounds and melodies though.  The break loops contribute, but the bass and lead sounds and what they are playing aren't quite there.  The sub-bass (which sounds like a bass guitar) is just too regular and static for my liking.  Are you playing in a major key too?

On a production note, the lead is too loud and distorts a lot of the time but there are nice envelopes and swells on it though.  There is room for some more sounds to help the flow, like a crash cymbal on a breakdown and a drum roll before the rhythm kicks back in.

the beat is muffled by the synth. you need to compress and eq to make room for each sound. subtract un needed frequencies in your bass/synth/beat. there's also some nasty clippin going on with the synth. you really need to deal with that.

the eerie synths are nice,

the eerie synths are nice, very nice beats but the pattern of that bass was horrible, it was cheesy, with that sound if he would have put a nice pattern it it would be well better, it reminded me of some cheesy program, it totally let what could have been a quality tune

nice full sound.the main bassline is a bit cheezy.starts off like it's going to be scary, but then loses it's hard on.everything is bang on beat...needs a bit of groove
