Starts of very smooth, and I'm lovin' the perc. Nice echo noise hits and I like the synth-sweep in the back-ground.

The introduction of instrumentation is flawless.

Vocal samples are hard to make out. Tonally, they add a lot, however, to the mix.

The mix is just sucking my attention, right into it. Brilliant groove.

I like the alarm sound.

The mini break-down and everything up to that builds tension, quite nicely.

I think the synth part lightly playing toward the top of the spectrum, a bit past the end of the mini-breakdown, ought to come in a little louder.


Apart from the notes, were the mix just to be tweaked to where I could hear everything going on, clearly, I would love to have this song - but I'd be sticking in in a 'minimal' folder. That said, there is also a lot that could be developed with it.

It sounds like you have some ideas you're flirting with but haven't made a commitment on, yet.

I'm not sure where this song will go, and I'm not sure I want to know. Lots of sonic goodies going on, though.

I'm impressed. Looking forward to the next/final version(s).

Thanks for an insightful review

Im glad you like it, its at the end point.. but im a little sceptical to the that lead sound you mentioned, its not a great sound indeed. So I deffo need to work out that or figure something else out thanks.

i like this, groove is hard and intoxacing and bassline packs punch. production on this is stunning, i really like the way you did the percussion and the sweeps and effects are nice touch.

the breakdown is great, just a simple small drop building tension but it does come out it quite weird. it has this offbeat section that just doesn't work fully, i think i get what you trying to do but it just doesn't perform.

other than that, this is really well done and it uses the length well. it doesn't drag out at any points

"I believe that's referred to as intelligent drum & bass, which obviously means there's a genre of stupid drum & bass out there" (John Peel)

First off, the groove is great. Very danceable, instantly hits the mark.

Mix has lots of space, despite numerousn elements playing at once. Percs are crisp. Honestly, on a production front, this is very good.

Builds gradually to the break at a nice pace. Little vocal snippets work well.

No criticisms here at all. Progression is perfect throughout as is the prodcution.

What do you use, just out of interest?

Anyway, great job. Surely this is release worthy?

Thanks for the feedback Montana, very glad you like the overall production.
And not dragging out is very important.
You are definitely right about the mini breakdown, it doesnt perform as well as it should have. And it needs to be fixed!

Thanks for the comment. happy you like.. yes it should be release worthy i reckon, when i fix the last part which isnt spot on yet.
I used Nuendo 3, Vanguard, Phatty and Omnisphere for this track.

Good track as has been previously stated though it's a bit exhausting bass wise. Once it gets going, it won't stop until the end. I think the track needs a short break without the bass playing. For example when the alarm sound kicks in around 3:01, it would be cool to have just the kick and it playing and build up the track from there again. Just my opinion, don't take it too seriously

Very good.
