sounds nothing like dnb to me! though there is a drum. and a really low bass heh

oh wait.. after the second part.. dnb... man.. that's kinda cool.. at first i didn't know what to think when you initially broke out into that distorted-feedbacked-ish sort of lead instrument -- it sounds pretty awesome when it plays near the end.

something's odd tho about your mix.. it sounds really distant and far away.. like the kick is taking up too much headroom or something? maybe try compressing it a bit? because you have some cool sounds that are really quiet.

Yeah, it does sound a bit distant, some of that is the lofi encoding, it sounds way better hifi.. But some bits are a bit on the quiet side I'll have a play with it and re-post

Woot! 909 kit in dnb!

Catchy lead in the begining...love the vocal pads! Where from?

Feedback lead sounds a lil loud to me..it sounds really upfront too in a distant mix like queasy said....

Distant isnt bad, but I can imagine how the lofi really makes it seem distant- I'd like to hear it hifi!

Really interesting...not something that I'd expect and it catches me off guard which is very refreshing..

Good job mang, glad to see you around again.

Thanks Andrew... yeah a 909 kit is out of place for d&b but it was sounding just too D&B with a different kit and I didn't want it sounding like a straight ahead D&B sort of thing.

As the reigning dnb expert here, I can definitily say this could be dnb. Or it could NOT be dnb.

Agree with the others on the mix. Seems way off.

Not sure I like the anthem style breakdown.

Not a bad track overall, but my EXPANSIVE knowledge of dnb would lead me to suggest that this isn't dnb at all. Breaks of some sort?

(ps - that whole 'King of dnb' thing was pure sarcasm...)

Hmmm, breaks maybe, but never mind, this is one cool song. Its all so subtle and gentle but that distorted lead. I would say melancholic, yes. i really like it this way.

it's hard to play that progression without it becoming a samba.
i know. i've spent eons there.

like i said via e-mail....this is very nice but i think the beginning flounders a bit. perhaps less-so upon repeated listens but~ still......

i really like your squelchy lead sound but not the manner in which it introduces itself. the little staccato bits sound like you're just finding the notes. i think a single, long pronounced note would make a better entrance as that is it's true element....as you aptly demonstrate further into the piece.

i'd like to remix this.
perhaps pulling in bits of rich grandsol's 918 or 819.....which works in the same range but with piano.
can i give it a shot?
