Dude. This... Is too god damn sweet. Really dig your stuff! I'm in love with the crisp mix. Even though dubstep may be kind of a narrow genre to some people, you've really brought forth your own sound, which is a GREAT accomplishment.
I don't really have any criticism to share, since this track is already so well produced.
Faved and followed on both NG and SoundCloud!
Take care, and keep the good work up!
Thank you so much for the kind words. They mean so much :)
This is pretty dang funky. I love the mix, but as RealFaction said; you might need a little more low-end on the bass line. Apart from that, this track is great.
Subbed and faved!

Thanks so much, Kabalist!
Clearly you have everything going structurally. I really dig the soft intro. The high frequencies of the secondary trumpetish synth almost gives me goose bumps.
The only thing that I'm slightly concerned about is the drums and the clipping of some synths. Maybe that's just "what this is supposed to sound like" (which I hear a lot of people say), but I think that it would be of your benefit to fatten the drums and bring them a little closer to the front of the mix, or else I'm afraid you'll lose a whole lot of potential pressure. If I listen to an electronic track I either want to be kicked in the face or have a nice moment of relaxation. This song is stuck somewhere in the middle and doesn't seem to know where it wants to go.
I like the overall musical structure, but unfortunately the song grows old pretty fast when nothing ever evolves during the play time.
Keep it up, man. Go ahead and message me if you ever remix the song!
Take care.

Thank you very much! I needed that. So, it's not what it supposed to sound, i will work on it.
Interesting approach on the world of *insert any word here*-step. I like the sense of experimentalism that you've applied to this type of electronic music. Me likey a lot.
Thoughts:
The mix is overall pretty clean, in a dirty way. The musical structure is unfortunately not very interesting. I'd suggest separating verse from chorus (if those sections even exist in this submission), so that the listener is actually brought somewhere instead of just running at square one. I'm not the kind of guy who enjoys listening to a basic rythm supported by dissonance throughout an entire track, but I guess I'd enjoy it a whole lot if ever high at a rave party.
I don't feel that there is more to comment on, except for the structure of the song. Apart from that; Nicely done!
Take care!

Glad you like the track however this rhythm is not basic.
I have modulated three different sets of basslines, drum kits and atmospheric FX in one track.
Strange how that constitutes as basic when you primarily produce dubstep which is very basic.
Don't see how being high would allow you to enjoy this more but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt.
Just because you are unfamiliar with a style of dnb doesn't mean that it is experimental.
Darkstep is subgenre of dnb that has been overshadowed by jump-up and liquid subgenres.
It has been around since the roots of jungle became popular in the early 90's.
Not so much for trance, but...
The intro was pretty heavy, up until the drums kicked in. I personally prefer the heavier kind of kick drum. Something that flows with the mix, yet stands out like a tree on an open field. Think of it like an iceberg; A small tip that peaks out of the ocean, with a gargantuan base that could sink ships if they were to sail into it. In a non-marsian language that basically means "more bass, and a small amount of high". I'm not so great at mixing terminology, but you might get it.
The lead synth that pops in from time to time is kind of out of place. Not melodically, but in the mix (I think you see what the main problem is with the song as a whole).
I dig the organ. It gives a nice touch to the verse.
Overall, this song is a little to repetetive for me, and the mixing could definitely be better, which I'm sure that you could handle with some patience and a pinch of devotion and skill.
Keep it up, man!

Thank you so much for the review! I still have a ton to learn with mixing, and I am super excited to experiment with it!
