tight shit... In my opinion I'd add a bit more action on the percussion side when the first break comes in. Lighter percussion, that is. I might bring out the bass a bit more, it sounds a bit too gritty almost. Bring it up for air once in awhile ; )
Still, you're really improving. Can't wait till you come to louisville :))

I'm gonna take off in a couple minutes, but I thought i'd just share my amazement...
You did a great job of melding the two genres. The dnb part was very energetic and enjoyable... great subbass, if i might add. Pads were fantastic, and that was a kickass transition >:D
wish you best of luck ;)
what program are you running, btw?

Thanks, man! Too bad you couldn't get in on time. Thanks for noticing the sub - it took a fair amount of tweaking to get the right harmonics in there. :)
I'm using FL Studio, btw.

I really dig the kick in here... I can't tell if it's sidechained or you just compressed the mix with the kick a tad louder. The backing percussion is great, and that sweep before the first drop is pretty professional sounding...
Your sound has really changed since the last time I checked out your music, I really like it. You're still using FL, I presume?
keep it up,
Ian

To answer your question, I'm actually in just a minor label in my home town, and I'm doing studio work, and also trying to learn how to do live shows.
I'm glad you took time to review me, seeing that you are a busy man these days.
And it's sidechained =)

reminds me a bit of kingbastard's soundscaping; a little more melodic. I guess it's the familiar quality of the instruments. I love the keys in there, really warm and calming. Drums were really nice and minimal ; ) I've been going for a similar sound for awhile, maybe you could help me out :o
What program did you mostly use use to make this?

I'm loving the water effects at the beginning... The reverbed horns/fx were great. I love how you brought everything down around 1:00 with the subtle fade out. You manage to keep things detached without getting too spacy.
The minimal drums have a lot of color... ooh! Great acoustic samples, I wasn't expecting that. Smooth flow to em, that hi hat rings really well. I can't tell what's in the background, sounds like some vocal samples? :) I feel the song building in melodic quality around 5:45...
Keep it up man, I really enjoyed that. You've got a real talent for scaping atmospheres ;) Download and 5 no doubt.

cool delayed vox... the drums were really nice, but i think you could do without the "hardcore" vocal. makes it seem a bit cheesy if you know what I mean...
The buildup was alright, but I'd suggest starting off light with the snare roll. You could get a bit more stereo separation, the whole mix seems really centered. The bassline is nice, but try a bit more modulation next time. However... these are minor complaints and the song really stands out from a lot of other dnb on newgrounds.
Overall great job, I'm in a bit of a hurry; so I just wanted to drop in a word ; )

I liked the stuttering and whatnot. Just try to get some more original samples in there... I can see what you're going for and it sounds cool though ;)
