So I did this track last summer, not sure if I posted it here or not... it's bro-step, which I'm against frankly, but wanted to give it a shot. c&c appreciated!

Quite easily the most enjoyable bro-step listening experience I've ever had. If someone pointed to this as an example of this genre, I probably wouldn't have such a negative opinion of it. That said, I've got a couple of techy crits that may be more influenced by my mix-ear and preferences, so if you don't see them echoed (or if someone else disagrees), disregard them:

The highs seem a little bright, particularly with the digital-distortion in the beginning. The low-end on the wobble bass is just a little oppressive and the kick seems a little under-served by that and its over-all volume, in the mix. Don't be surprised if Atlantis-AR comes in to complain that it's a little over-mastered.

Still, happily downloaded and added to my collection. You have a new follower. Nearly everything else about this tune absolutely kills in all of the good ways.

Cool choice of track to remix, its pretty nice.. but would have needed more work if it where to be played in dubset.

Thanks man! Really appreciate it--will check out your tunes later this evening too!

All your comments are very fair--I was pretty obsessed with the level of the bass as it was my first dubstep attempt, and I was wanting it to have as much 'oomph' as it could. upon listening again, I agree the kick could match it better. and the mastering thing...again, was trying to make it sound as 'phat' as I could, and having very little experience at doing any subtle forms of mastering before, I'm not surprised if it sounds heavy handed at times (I did a kind of french-house mostly before this, and a lot of that is compressed to hell!) :p

Thanks and thanks for listening! Not surprised it would need more work to fit in with a dub/brostep set!
