I've just uploaded this track ive been working on the last couple of days onto my soundclick list. I dont know what to make of it, opinions anyone?
Its designed to just be a nasty piece of raw hardstyle, does it sound like that or what?

that is bloody excellent :twisted: its great to hear a tough track like that without all those cliche woop noises too, very industrial and metalic sounding with good use of reverb to add the mood, i like it :clap:
could fit that into a hardstyle or hardtechno set

id just watch that kick towards the end were it gets heavyer, perhaps tighten it up a bit more for when its boosted and watch the levels although the clipping i can hear might just be the mp3 conversion

There is a slight bit of clipping on the breakdown, havent noticed anywhere else.

just the kick seems to take up too much room when its boosted later on although the distortion effect might be what your after ?

i like it mate very hard tuff stuff man :twisted: :rambo: only thing is on my speakers at 3 mins when the bass drops low it drowns the treble a little bit :crackup: so if u could maybe eq it to not drop so low it would sounds a bit better man ;) but overall a wicked hard track mate :clap: :clap:

Class lad! really good stuff! Can see how you have been influenced by that Dutch Geezer. This is quality, and i like said this is the future, this is the stuff what should be coming out in the Hardstyle Genre. Dark, industrial, gabba-influenced Hardstyle, not, to put it bluntly, Harder Hard House!
All this industrial stuff is the way forward i hope, and i need to find more.
Epidemic your producing is really coming on mate and this is a fine effort!
I did notice, the clipping and over-distortion on the last kick! does sound a bit too heavy at the moment. I like the harder kick, and like yourself i would have included it, but its just sounding a bit too heavy at the moment. A bit of tweaking on the EQ should sort it.
All in all, really enjoyed it, loving this sound, full marks lad!

Oh Lad, i forgot to mention that vocal is Pure Class. Gives it that darker feel, gives the tune that edge. Sound class just before the Bass kicks!
