Really nice tune you've got here mate. Proper messy but driving at the same time. The overall production is also pretty decent, although I'm not so sure about the snare sound... seems a little high end and weak if you catch my drift.
Everything else if pretty much amazing though. I'm loving all the dischords and whatnot. Good work mate, this is a class tune.

I can't say I'm surprised this song hasn't got a higher score but it definitely deserves one. It's very well produced and really interesting to listen to. I felt a bit of Aphex Twin in this as it strangely reminded me of his song 'Ventolin'.
I would have liked to hear it progress in to something a bit different later on in the song although what you have already is pretty awesome. Anyway it's a 9/10 and 5/5 from me.
I think I'm gonna check out some more of your stuff now... good work.

Thanks sir. I never heard Ventolin but I love Aphex Twin's work. There's still some time before the comp ends, so who knows... maybe I'll add a climax to the climax.

This tune is hot man. Loving the wobble and the flutes. Proper gets you in the mood around the middle when the flutes start to distort and that respirator sound kicks in. Nice one...
My only suggestion would be to beef up the kick a little bit. You know, really give it the umph. Apart from that phat tune. Cheers for the PM.
Author's Response:
thanks for the ups :D and review
i will see how that will work out with the kicks
and the part where flutes go fucked they should go normal but the update hasn't kicked in yet :S anyway thanks for the 9 !

Side chain, side chain, side chain, lol.
Seriously though, this is some really nice house music. It's well produced and has that dancability. I'm a little firghtened to share my opinion on where you should take this piece as so many people are praising you for what you've done. But I can honestly say that a bit more variety in this song could make it a 10/10. It could do with a melodic change as well as a rhythm chage.
But thats only my opinion. Good work. I'm very impressed,

This is a tune mate. It's very minimal but it definitely got my head nodding. Heavy bass and beat. Good use of samples as well.
It's a good dubstep track mate.
Want to check out my lastest dubstep song? It's called "Too filthy for you". Let me know what you think.

I'm guessing this was your first dubstep attempt as you've only recently been exposed to it. You've definitely captured that dubstep style, heavy powerful bass, with basically minimal everything else.
However, I think the beat could use a little jazzing up. I think there's a distinct lact of snare which is essential in dubstep.
All in all you've done a goof job on the wobble bass but the track seems to be a little unstructured and the beat a little weak. But a first track is a first track and I'm sure you'll have made vast improvements by the time you finish your next one.
Good job, and welcome to dubstep ;)
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review. Yeah this is my first attempt at anything close to dubstep. The first time I heard any I was trippin face and just fell in love with the bass.
But I'd like you to explain a little more what you mean by the track bein unstructured and the beat a little weak. I know the beat is a little minimal for the genre if that's what you mean.
Also, how was the mixing? Depending on what sound system I use the bass seems to be too loud sometimes and it distorts other sounds but on other systems it sounds like candy.
If you don't mind giving me a little more insight on dubstep I'd greatly appreciate it.

I can't really criticise if I'm honest. It's very well produced, it's catchy and it just sounds right.
I think your right about the rapping, but I think it would work well with some decent MCing over the top.
This would make epic credits music. I can well imagine this being used in some sort of flash. Good work mate, keep these coming and you'll be very popular.

... is what I thought when I read the comments. But after listening to this loop I'm actually very impressed. It's very well produced and seems to have all the elements necessary for a popular trance track.
Well done mate, I sincerely hope you get that record deal.

Nice tune you've got going on here. Although I just wanted to quickly comment on the leading synth at the beginning. You really need to cut off some of those higher frequencies in it as it's really piercing.
Apart from that it's a decent dubstep tune. I can tell your from London ;)
Author's Response:
Ahh nice!
Yeah I will take some of those frequencies down a bit.
I should have a new version on in a couple of months probably.

As soon I as I checked out your profile after you reviewed one of my songs I knew I would like your techno. The reason being that your from Croatia, always decent techno ;)
Seriously though, you've got something really good in the making here. That acid type synth is fantastic. You've really made a decent thick sound and it gets you moving.
However, I felt there was a severe lacking in bass. I think you need to add some heavy bass notes in there to really get people up and moving. The drum pattern can also a get a little repetitive and in my opinion you have a few too many bass kicks.
But hey it's a demo, loads of room for improvement but a brilliant demo nonetheless. I can imagine this tune being MASSIVE on completion.
Good work and well done.
Author's Response:
