Really enjoyed the intro section. On a whole the tune reminds me loads of that DK8 Murder was the bass tune. Sounds nice though as far as the track arrangement and such goes. You've got some nice elements which seem to play well with another, been adding more edits lately too. Keep it up amigo.

listening now..

sounds nice and dark but i think the production is a little too "nice" for this style. i'd dirty it up a bit more. also the main synth seems a little static. the percussion is already quite static so i think the synth could do with a little shuffle on it and an extra note here and there.

over all a good tune with a nice industrial feel to it.

good work fella

Its cool man. I agree with whats been said though, sounds a bit to clean. Maybe the high end percussion could have more ''bite'' to it. If it was me I'd run a few elements through a bit crushing prog, just to nasty the whole thing up a bit. I personally like this style of Techno, so I'm definately feeling the track. One other little thing to, some bits just seem a tiny bit too loud compared to the rest of the track, they sort of jump out a bit.

Nice an dark though, would go down well in a squat!

Nice.
Good pace too, stompin tempo.
Production overall is very clean, good separation.
I don`t think it needs more dirt at all.
People forget what happens to sound on a soundsystem and overcompensate on noise at home when making this kind of music, trying to reproduce the loud system effect.
Too dirty and it sounds shit on a rig.
This will translate well to a soundsystem and still rawk nicely.

I found the mix a little too static, and lacking presence and polish overall.
I think the hats are a little too crisp and thin, and could do with just a little verb and maybe some back up in the lower regions of the top end (if that makes sense). Somewhere around 2.5k-ish just to add a bit of warmth.

The bass could be just a little meatier too.
The lead sound (the grungey one) that comes in could be much larger.
I`d really expand it stereo wise, and maybe get some very subtle fx in the back of it, just to give it a little sheen (maybe some chorus)

I`d go back and work my way through the sounds polishing a little, giving the lead sounds more presence, adding touches of verb here and there, maybe using some higher quality EQ`s on the more important sounds, better compression etc.

Good stuff, and it`s nice to hear good controlled production, but basically you just need to get out your mister sheen and polish polish polish.

Cool man, sounding impressive now.

**loopdon** · 06-02-2007, 01:27 PM

few days ago since i listened to this. only issue i had was i felt it needed more bass (deep(er) bass). solid, though, mate.

err.. and i felt the title sucked bigtime, but maybe that's just me :)
