Not bad for a first submission! A bit more power overall would be awesome.
Keep up the good work!
Cheers,

i liked it, the chords are smooth and jazzy, but there are a few of the chord progressions that sounds a bit ackward to me. The beat itself is cool, but the drumkit itself sounds dull and boring, some more outstanding drum samples would really liven this track up.
Good job!
~T7 Great job on the track here, the bassline is "catchy" and has a mean feel to it. I liked the drums very much, they're well programmed and very intense. You might want to EQ off a bit treble on the drums, it gets a bit annoying in the long run.
As much as i liked the track, i must admit to thinking it was a bit trivial, and gets boring halfway through. Some sort of lead would do wonders, and a few more variations on the drums doesn't hurt anybody!
Overall great track!

Thanks for your review man,
I was going for simplicity on the outside, with a chewy technical center.
I think my monitoring speakers are a tad light on the high freq range
I avoided turning this into 101 breaks that sound the same to let the rythmic hypnotism set in.
After I had control of your brain I was planning on
getting some new monitoring speakers..
cheers

some pretty mean bass you got going there - busy beats and a nice dark mood. the drums could be a bit more edgy, and the bass a bit quieter, or at least side-chained to the kick drum so it don't take up so much space in the mix.
good job!

I really enjoyed this remix, i liked the intro, and the bass is nice and full. I would've liked a bit more energy overall, and the drums could be louder. Nice job!

This track is excellent! I like how you managed to take some of the melodic elements of trance and transfer them into the d&b style. I think your mix needs a little work though.
Hook-wise - you're doing great, a more recognizeable hook would be swell, and a few more vocal samples would've done well here i think.
The beat is pumping, all is good, but if was mixing, the drums would be louder, and some heavy compression on top would get the whole track pumping.
If you like, please come check out some of my submissions, i'd appreciate your feedback :)

I tweaked around with mastering this track, and tried to make the drums louder, I found that it ruins the main lead, so the only thing I could do without making it overbearing was to level it out and boost the bass a tad with upping the mid to give it more presence, as much as to not ruin the beautiful lead.
I pretty much tried to stick to the original layout of the scales and how it was written, and to just add some of my own input with a dnb attitude. *shrugs*
thanks though, I love getting feedback

Definately one of the better tracks at NG. The track was a bit short though, a club-worthy drum&bass track is usually around 5-7 minutes =) I think you're going to need to add a whole new section to the track to archive this.
Other than that, i thought this was pretty neat - the drums are pumping, great sound there, but i'd have liked the bass and lead a bit less loud. The drums need to really reach out of the speakers if you want to impress me!
The hook and beat was well put together, the lead could've been a bit easier recognizeable if you want to make it a big hit. The bass was great, i like the fuzzy hoover-ish feel.

Let's start out this review by everyone agreeing the review "pointless" by sillygoose69 is a both pointless and silly review and NOT helpful in any way. Obviously sillygoose69 doesn't understand much about music.
I think this submission is one of the better of NG, i love the glitchy approach you're taking on "mainstream electronic music", taking melodic hooks and regular beats to a higher level. I like the low-cut arp that runs through the song, and the drums are pretty neat, although i'd have preffered a slightly thinner and more synthetic sound.
Programming is great, cool glitches on the drums and piano. Definately a 4/5 and 8/10 from this dark-aura music critic.
If you like, please come check out some of my submissions as well, i'd appreciate it.

No, not at the moment, not until you work a better mix on this track, at least.
I think the overall sound quality is quite muddy, everything seems kind of flat and boring. The drums could be louder, and it wouldn't hurt to get some sidechain compressor on the bass :-) The hook is fine (i'd prefer a bit less reverb on the lead synth) and the beat works pretty well.
Overall decent loop.
