I'd gladly have a listen. But I won't bother registering to a website just to do so. I'm sure I'm not the only one..

Would be nice if you could post another link, maybe sendspace or yousendit or something! :)

I like it, so far as a good foundation, but I think "less is more" might be the way to go. I'm not saying not to make it a massive tune. And a lot of what you have, I would keep. The synth progression coming in should stay very close, barring any major adjustments, to the way you have it coming in. The hi-hat wash (after the third, flanged/filter-swept layer is added) drowned out much of that, however, and I thought they should be reduced by around 6 or more db.

The way you have the synth line coming in kind of has a mysterious vibe to it - I like it. Keep developing it.

Great time to intro the bass-line which added, appropriately, to the groove with its presence.

The second layer of hi-hats seemed to have atypical timing with the rest of the piece, as though they'd been offset. In conjunction with the first, they might work, but I'd play around with that a bit more, to get the right feel. I was almost wanting more organic, lower-pitched hi-hats, throughout.

If you're going to keep the third layer, I would recess that, back into the mix.

I like this. I look forward to hearing future/finished versions.

this is also the type of production I am aiming for...more simple transitions, less hands in the air, but more melodic groove.

I really like the clap sequence you have going on

the second hh's need to be equed more in the midrange, or play with the filter to find a more comfortable location.

the base is definately sinister, but i was getting more of it in the right than the left, how did you pan the track(im using mdr-v700's cans atm)

Some nice ideas. I also prefer the less is more tack yuo have taken here so thats a good thing. The long clap sounds good, just not sure if its a bit too long? - maybe vary it up a bit?

Percs sound okay but could be worked on a bit more.

When the trancey bass comes in, its very muffled while the other elements are playing. Of course I appreciate this is still a work in progress and hasnt been mixed down ;)

Promising so far...

The hat at the start & in the break could be less dry or quieter. Nice percs after though. Bass could be more prominent

Some cool idea's sounds like this could be a good track when finished
