sounds absolutely beautiful on my laptop speakers. Will have to give it a listen in my headphones tomorrow. Sounds like something Bedrock would put out in a heartbeat.

Nice synth work and cool atmosphere.
Personally I'd make the drums more important and groovy - but that's just me.

That stab is very cool.
Like all the subtle fx and plucks.
Good job

Hey - not a producer but I think I'm sort of a dub techno fanatic :p

I'd leave the intro out, it currently sounds sort of amateurish if you ask me. Or do something similar to the outro where you just have a bunch of chords floating around.

The bassline and chords (arguably the most important things) sound very nice but I'd use a different bass drum the current one sounds sort of flat and doesn't really fit in with the rest IMO

You could also try to use some of that typical hiss/white noise? I have no idea if it fits in with the rest of the composition but it's worth a try I think. At some parts your track sounds sort of bland/empty, some hiss might fill that.

Not shure if you've heard this before, but this is this sound done to perfection (if you ask me)

Hmm all things taken in to consideration. Thanks for the feedback dude. there are some quite empty parts, but thats what gives it the minimal feel I like. and yes, the intro, i struggled to make anything better due to some technical issues -.-. thanks man. You should pm me a list of your favorite dub techno artists, as I always love to find some deep dub.

Here's a list I recently posted in Music Discussion


Echospace/Deepchord/Rod Modell (check out their whole catlaogue, lots of aliases)
STL
Atheus (as I said in the OP, 'Compile' is really god damn good if you enjoy some classic dubwaves)
Quantec
Bvdub (lots of ambient, too)
Deadbeat
Basic Channel/Chain Reaction (some of the stuff sounds outdated, some still fresh 10-15 years later)
Echocord (probably the best/biggest Dubtechno label in the last few years, pretty clubby stuff recently)
Modern Love (british dubtech label, lot's of different stuff from classic dubtech to stuff like demdike stare)
Yagya (some of the best albums in this genre)
Gas (not exactly 100% dubtechno but whatever, its Gas)
Baum/Meanwhile/Styrax Leaves/Millions Of Moments (some smaller labels with good stuff)

I'd either change the kick drum, it sounds too much like 1997 goa trance imo. ALso the bassline would sound so much better with a LP filter on top. Right now it sounds very synthesized and machiney. Juat shave off some of the hi's with an LP with a semi hard Q to give it some punch as well..

aaaand the plucky stabs are too loud imo. especially in the mid part of the track. everything just sounded way too bright, so had a hard time keeping up with the tracks. but im on horrible speakers atm so grain of salt.

so yeah, ummm... cool track bro, but sounds abit too polished and bright for dub techno.

I also felt it was a bit to bright for dub techno but is that really a "bad thing"? Just music :). and that bass patch is a bit sketchy lol im still working on it. its a bit to simple right now lol. thanks for the input.
