    Great tune from start to finish. Lovelly fat kick with a really nice pace on it. The hats are wicked- proper groove to this track. I love the vocals, keep them. I'm a huge fan of vocals in techno.

    Lot more work needed on this yet.....gonna add a some more elements.
    Certain areas within the arrangment need spoofing up.....especially when the new stab arrives around 2min mark,............some more hats are needed as well i think?
    Basically just got the main framework sorted last night with whats there, just gotta flesh it out a bit more.

    This is ****in' class, Siege. The vocal sample works really well - gives it a bit of a jackin' feel but without taking away from the overall darkness/hardness of the main riff. Vocal jackin stuff can be a bit too bouncy/raw for me sometimes but you've nailed something here dude. Kudos! More wine! Elves - dance! et cetera

    yea what he said ^^^^^
    although id maximise on the jackin side.. add a nice perc loop with a snare or something, and whack up the swing/groove on it and the vocal. the vocal as is seems a bit static if u get me

    liking everything and the mix is great. crystal clear.

    Really like this, although i think it needs something else (a bassline perhaps???) to help it flow a little better. The elements you've got working off of each other are class, as usual. It did feel as though you're waiting for it to start properly, the sense of anticipation is good tho. I always like the way you add some nice, 'sub' funk in your tracks, helps the flow of the track. A couple more rhythmic loops, like rory said and this is defo on the playlist mate..

    Good work once again.

    Oh yeah, i like the vocal...

    good track. proper funk with nice punchy kick and rich sub. i quie like the vocal bits. nice little edits and stuff.
    production sounds good. maybe some groove bassline would be nice, but thats my taste.
    i would love to hear some track where you go with something totally different. this track is quality no doubt, but i feel like i hear this type of kick in almost all your tracks :-). even it is very good i would like to hear something more experimental from you, as i am sure you've got skills....
    nice track.

    Really nice crisp production, track works really well. Not my taste, but really well made and everything fits.

    I'd agree with daren that a bit more sub funk would drive the track along, I wasn't mad keen on the verby rumble noise that sat under the kick, if that was changed for a deep smooth bass noise you could get some more groove into the track, but that might not be what you're going for.

    Class production values overall though dude, so top work as per usual.
