Good to hear some of your tracks!
Things I dont like:
1. Snare - I find programming drums real hard, cos They usually end up being quite lifeless, and I sense a bit of this here. I think it may help if you vary the velocity of some of your snare hits, which may give the drums a more 'human' feel, and also add a few layers of snare. It kinda sounds like you used only one snare? Try using 5 very different snares, and see what you can make. Also the kick could have a bit more punch. With dance based music, this is the driving force!
2. The thunder claps at the start are a bit much IMO. A bit cheesy??
Thats about it really! I like the arrangement, which is something I have alot of trouble with. The song builds quite nicely, and you have made good use of the vocals. I really like the scratching bits!!! And Im right into the dark and gritty edge......Lush vocals, with a gritty, dark undertone. And then going into the Prodigy-esque piano-rave style bit......Real cool!
I can really relate to this track, it has alot of elements in it that I like, and reminds me alot of the old 'dreamscape' tapes I used to buy, DJ SY, old school 90's era, with a 'Nu-Skool' breaks/garage edge.....
Nice one dude!
