A really well put together tune..

Good & varied edits & fills with strong main drum & basslines underneath.

I assume that the 'classic' samples that this tune is litterd with are for the perposes of the competition for which this tune is intended.

Otherwise I would say that their inclusion dows not add much (as go so far as saying that their inclusion detracts somewhat from the originality of the production).

Also.. A much as it has become a standard I just cant get on that well with simple 2-step style beats (boom-tish boom-tish). This tune does not overly rely on them but personally I would not have them as prominent as they are in places though the actual drum sounds & processing is really crisp & punchy which I like and that style of drum does suit the minimal 2-step groove (Roni Size beats are a good example of this).

I love the synth bits & the intros, buildups, etc as well.
Your skills continue to improve & this comes through in your last couple of efforts.

Hope it does well.. If it comes to a vote you've got mine!

I agree that the classic samples don't add much.
The tune moves along nicely though and as usual the production is tight. The edits and fills are what I like the most and the snare is fat!

Not my sort of thing as you know but this has some nice sounds and a good energy to it.

What I like about your tunes is that they never get boring, the sounds evolve and change and they are always deep sonically.

Nice one.
