Digging the atmosphere here - hopeful tension is always nice! The track is definitely missing some bass. While listening, my brain automatically added in some rolling neuro bass, then I realised that it wasn't there! Says something about expectation, and obviously, I have read that it was intentional.
Thank you for the review sorry about late response, missed it when doing return comments, pleased you enjoyed track mostly, yep does have 3 bass lines in this piece, but want the bass lower in the mix, guessing that is why they didn't stand out for you...so it had a trance type of feeling along with the breaks etc...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...
Great atmosphere (perfect for a smokey room). Tempo and timbre are bang on! Bass is great (could listen to that all day) and the samples sound pretty damn perfect. Could do with a little more going on in places, as it began to feel a little flat just after half way through - perhaps due to a lack of variation and/or comprehensible structure.
Solid tho, I'd love to hear it with a little more action. Perhaps a dirty break?
Pretty sweet dude! That glock sounds like it's in a different key to the rest of the samples - but that could have been intentional(?). Cheers for sharing!
Pure and simple - you know what you're doing! It difficult to fault anything! The mix is spot on, beat is great, samples are sound - pretty flawless!
The only criticisms that I can come up with are -
I'd have liked to have heard a little more variation to the bassline. While it is REALLY catchy and I ordinarily really dig basso ostinato, I found the inherent prominence of the bass in this track and the implementation of the ground bass technique allowed my mind to wander because I was too able to anticipate what was coming next.
As mentioned by myself and others, on a technical level, this track is flawless - it's an example of top-notch production. However, from a musical/creative perspective, I honestly couldn't say that it struck me as particularly different from tons of other DnB tracks that I've heard. As an exercise then, I'd say that you passed with flying colours, but as a track that will stand out - in my honest opinion, I think this track gets lost in a sea of look-a-likes.
It puts me in mind of a review a friend's band received in a magazine. "They're doing something you've heard a thousand times before, but, fuck, they do it well".
I'm definitely gonna check out your other stuff when I have a bit more time!
I enjoyed groove in this, the beat is great, but the lack of rhythmic change resulted in the track losing my attention pretty quickly.
I enjoyed the synths (particularly the 'lo-fi' feel to them) and the riffs were pretty cool, but, I think there was room for more expansion beyond the confines of the riffing.
The track itself did feel rather sparse and lacking in elements, particularly on the low end. The addition of a sub line to fill the low end and a pad (or similar) to fuse the moments between action would really warm it up and fill it up, without imposing on the pre-existing elements.
Having read what others have said, I can't really say I agree that there is any tempo issue - I get the vibe you were going for and the tempo is bang on!
