this is some really old school DnB which is one of mz favorite genre! really enjoyed this! Fav and thanks for sharing! :)

Amazing that a song that is 174 bpm is so relaxing and laid back. Very well done. This old dog loves it.

wow! great and powerful introduction. it starts for me from 1:09. really clever work but still feels like a teaser. I want more!
or at least a proper ending
incredible dnb here

Damn this makes me want to get back into D&B. It's got a great atmosphere, bass is pretty solid, the drumming is awesome (but i'm hoping it'll pick up a bit more). Not sure how close this is to being finished so I don't think theres much advise I could give but I do like where this is going.

Also I respect the whole "giving each track your all" thing, it takes a lot of self-discipline to do that but the music usually ends up being much better so good on you. Can't wait to hear the finished product.

Peace. LIS

I think you are off to a really good start GC...I haven`t listened to a lot of D&B but when I do I often find some really rich sounds behind the beat in a lot of the mixes..nice width in the backing..you might be able to get a bit more power in the drums with fairly fast attack, quick release compressor...I would even try just a touch of mid-side processing on them (I know that is a bit unusual)...Nugen makes a Stereoizer vst with a drum kit preset (very subtle) that really works great...I use the free version that came with Computer Music Mag a couple of years ago...try a bit more 80hz on your bass eq..and scoop out a little more between 200-400..You have room for a bit more limiting if you want when you get it finalized... just a couple of very minor suggestions GC & they may not help as I expect you already have a good knowledge of where you are at.....you have a really good mix on the go..and I sure am no expert when it comes to mixing most of the electronic genres....You have set yourself some high goals...but give it time...and get your reading from reputable sources ....keep on man......Ed

Excellent stuff. I really like this. Thanks for sharing the evolution of the track and I look forward to seeing (hearing) how it progresses. Kick that D&B bootie ;) Tim Terror.

GC,
Starts off ambient then moves into the drum and bass … very different but enjoyed. The drum and bass really comes in abruptly though; may I suggest fading it in?
Mark.

Same from me, took me right back to the day !!! Nice work dude Ps I'm gonna listen to total control remember that beauty , stay cool

Def good 1st impression of the beginning steps into your mastery journey. Interested to hear the updates along the way. Curious to hear more of this 2nd half missing. For some reason I picture PS1 and GT. Sounds like this could be an intro to some type of racing simulation, Speedsters. Liking this direction.

Thanks for sharing the preview with us, the following pieces should be good. Stay you. Peace.

Hello! The intro definitely grabbed me at first; I thought this would be a power ballad at first! (before I saw the big Drum And Bass sign underwards lol)

Overall, nice dreamy song, keep it up!

-R.P.S

Thnx for the preview. Great what you have so far, looking forward to the completed track.

I really enjoy good dnb but never tried to make a dnb track. I'd like to have a go at it one day. Then all the artists that are good at it can feel even better about themselves after hearing my attempt, lol.

Good stuff so far. Peace

I can dig it. The "intro" is pretty long, but hey, why not? Good all around, and as other's have said, yes it has a classic 90's vibe. And, in my opinion, that's a good thing! Cheers!

Sick track here. One of the better DnB tracks on Looperman. Very classic 90's vibe. Reminds me of a Goldie track. Really great work. A+.

definitely retro feel as others have mentioned - personally i will always look back to this era with a lamenting sigh and a satisfied but tense grin across the face.
brought up awesome memories and forgotten vibes.
coming along nicely so far and i am looking forward to hearing how it develops further.

i will now go and listen to omni trio - renegade snares followed by adam f - circles.

cheers :)

Nice D&B track. If you are considering keeping this track at it's current length, then I think that its perfect. Making it longer would be cool to.

I love the long detailed intro, then transitions over into some smooth D&B. The bass stab is sick.

It reminds me of some old-school Optical and ED Rush.

Well done. FT

I like the crazy sound at 1:06 that announces your upbeat groove. lots of interesting colors and really enjoying the listen. it's great to challenge oneself to achieve a higher level. all the best of luck with developing this one. it is a winner!
