Here guys, my first full production. Some of you may remember the remix I did for Ricky M or might have bumpted into my mix of Ian Brown - Kiss Ya Lips. Anyway, this is Full on progressive, very techy. Made all in Reason. Link below...
Also, please remember you trancers that it's a progressive track called Rocksteady so don't expect a huge synth lead or hook thats gonna blow your face off into sonic heaven.
Hey... The groove is pretty original. The drum sounds need some work though. You could try for example another hihat sound than the on which come at 1:00...Also the bass drum could have more subbass, now the drum sounds make the whole track sound little bit amateurish. Otherwise the track works pretty well... the sounds are deep and fat... that´s good!! The break at 3:00 comes imo too suddenly... The atmosphere is the best part of the track, spooky enough...

Funky little intro.
I like how your rhythm synth comes in slowly. Wonderful way to put me in a trance.
I can't say I dislike your percs, although they do lack some originality. They're fine for giving a feel in the intro, but it'd be nice to hear a more complex percussion layer later on.
I like your synth layering and the way energy builds and wanes in this track. Very nice.

Nice long intro. At the start I started to think it would just stay like that and turn out to be a newby track. But it progressed and started to impress me. Nice reversed chord.
The saw pad in my left ear gives a lot of space to the track, but starts to get a bit irritating.
A few words of critical nature tho. Your sounds are very clean and simple. A little too clean. Get some effects, automations and dynamics going to make it more interesting. Have different channels interact with eachother through group channeling. Don't be lazy, throw yourself in the deep end and try the complicated stuff out.
I'm missing intro's and outro's. There's a few ones there, but no whacky ones that make my eyes turn in there sockets.
Music is as universal to people as breathing. We've probably been at it since before we even started talking. Immaging two cavemen smashing away at a peace of flint to make a spearhead. It wouldn't take long for them to learn te synchronise the sound. And there you have it, the words first percussive band.
Music has survived wars, famines, the plague and many other things and has evolved with man across many cultures. Dance music is just the next step in the evolutionary chain. My guess is that it will probably be with us untill we are extinced.
