my ears feel burning...just kidding

i really liked it, one thing tho, i know its meant to be dark hard and brutal, but it could be really good if it had a bit more melody, maybe have the big sub doing something a bit different when it comes in...good drop tho

:thumbsup:

[arkon]

thanks o.g

its not finished yet , there is still a few production things to tidy up . I am going to put a little bridge thing in just b4 each break down to break up the structure of the track . I thought about having a diffferent melody line for the second bass , but I dont know yet . that may be another track . not sure .

no really my thing but not bad not bad, sounds like something that would get sighned... my only thoughts iz that it would put the iceing on the cake if you played around with vocals, short samples of a girl/guy maybe singing a short verse. never know... play around me thinks. keep it up bro.

[nigel]

not bad. the reece sounding synth is cool. once again boring old rinsed out amens though, which you know im not a fan of, dunno why people would want to keep using them..

middle breakdown is cool, overall mix sounds ok too.

thanks man ! now if someone would just actually sign it :)

I dont know about the vocals tho , ive thought about cutting up the vocal thats there and placing them through the song , just bits of them . maybe .

thanks el ,

amens yes I know , even I am getting a little tired of them . not that they are bad , ive just used them to much . but I couldnt get another break with the same sort of effect when its all cut up , you know the tech itch mayhem breaks sort of effect . next track wont have an amen . promise .

Decent track,
reece with delay sounds dark as. Amen cuts sound quality but yeh as hornet said they been rinsed, layer the motherfuckers. Liking the bass and amen fills. Tune could use a bit more spicing up however, sounds a bit too boring in a late 90's early 2000 sort of way.

spicing up yes , but late 90s dnb was the best . eveyone knows that !

ed rush and optical were good , every 2nd person wasnt making dnb on their computer with fruity loops or reason , clownstep was still just a horrible dream , disco was only associated with house music and dark tekstep rulled supreme !

so many happy memories ........

anyway this tune may see a vinyl release soon , but I cant talk about any details yet . It will get a full turbo upgrade for that .

Aint knocking that era (or yer tune), i just think that the scope of record labels these days is looking for more than droning basslines with an amen over the top, could be wrong.

some must , cause a couple have been interested in the track . but nothing firm yet .

I am going to put like a bridge section , with a different beat , some filtering on the synths and lots of pads to break it up . just b4 the 2nd break down . hopefully that will help .
