. . . .the drums are kind of getting to me, in a bad way, making me feel paranoid . . . they've been done well on a technical level . . . but like I said, this just isn't my steez . . . I DO really dig that breakdown about one minute in . . . is that throaty tribal drum sample from Encino Man? . . . I really like that metallic synth, too, I just wish it was on a 4/4 pounding techno track a bit slower, 140 maybe . . . but again, just personal preference there . . . are there really this few changeups in the meat or body of a track like this in hardcore? Overall, I think this was mixed alright . . . I personally would have doubled up on the kick drums, give it a little more 'ooommph,' espECIALly with a this style . . . I think you may wanna go through the track and EQ everything . . . separate the frequencies, get every little sound out to the forefront which, I assume it is, at least to an extent . . .
. . . on the whole, for the style, I think it works . . . great throaty rhythm sample . . , pretty decent general separation of sound and whatnot right now, but it could be done a bit better, sharpen up your hats/cymbols, make those kicks deeper/more powerful and bring that deep gritty keyline to the forefront mang.
