Spent hours and hours x9,000 on this but it was all pretty darn fun. My first proper attempt at DnB, and at a proper full track generally for a while! Please please please share it around if you like it, but more importantly, critique the shit out of it, it needs to be better.

Awh thankyou The Seahorse (: Means a lot man, especially to get mentioned along with JonJon (:

The Seahorse

I'm not normally a DnB fan but this track and "Thule Island" by Jon Jon are starting to convert me. This is an extremely catchy track! It will be in my head for hours!

Thank you so so much Solace, you dunno how much that means coming from you(: The drums were fun. I didn't realize how carefully you DnB producers pick out your one shots and stuff. But yeah like i said earlier, drums with more than 3 bars being the same thing bores me so I wanted to change it up. Plus the vox in the 2nd half match the vocals rhythmically;)

Oh my god this is awesome! i love that sample, and you even used the sample from Launch The Finale! I love the drumset, but i feel like the pattern changes around too much. I love that immersive feel in the drops though. it's like there's something dragging you in.

Really nice and fresh track. Personally the phasing turns me off, i dunno if you use phaser or flanger? But i think they ruin the sound : /

I went through about 4 different snares and ended up with this one. It needs some compression, but reducing the 'End' should work something good as well :) And yeah it is quite loud. I mixed that with headphones and it seems quite atmospheric, but on speakers it kinda takes lead. And just looked through the library. The guy rapping is called Harry Shotta or something cool like that. Pretty nice vox to work with;)

I'd personally want a snappier snare..but it isn't really necessary..it just feels a little airy..everything else is crisp in comparison. maybe bring that tinkling arpy thing down a little..let the drums, bass and vocals lead the track. sweet track though, where did you get the vox?

Ooohh okay yeah! I wasnt sure about the lead melody. Like, is it enough, or isnt it enough? I dont listen to a lot of DnB so i didnt have much of a reference. But cheers dude. You hold the title of making catchy ass fuckin melodies here i think, so that means a lot:))))

@ollie nah man didn't mean it that way xD this has good melody, especially starting at 1.30. but genres like dnb and dubstep tend to have less melody, so random vocals and chopped raps and stuff can really make a good intro. like your intro isn't very melodic, but everything else is :P
