I like the sound, overall. But it does seem a bit repetative, to my tastes. I tend to find my favorite tracks shift the sound significantly every few measures. Sometimes it's by bringing parts in and out. I don't hear much of this here. Sometimes it's through tweaks of a mod wheel or other setting, which I do hear subtly introduced here and there. I don't, however, hear significant changes in the form of new instruments or melodies along the way. This is something I'm trying to get better about in my own music, too.

Just some newb opinions. Cheers.

I really like this, the beat is slamming and theres some great instruments in there.
I tasted a hint of late 90's/ early 2000's hard house which came through nicely on an otherwise
pretty modern sounding track.
I agree to some extend with jcarnicelli, it may benefit from some subtle alternations in the beat.
Even something as simple as making a change on the hi hat shuffles every 4 or 8 bars keeps
a flow going and makes a track more interesting.

I love this feedback.
Finishing off a mix has always been my problem. I can easily get to 90% but then i get stuck with some of the subtleties. Thanks to both of you for your insight.

Great drums and percs. That bassline took me by surprise, wasn't expecting that! Good and gritty, nice tweaking over the initial breakdown. Could use more drops and fills, plus variations on the percs, also try subtly changing the length and velocity of notes.. there's probably a way to randomise those variables across the piece, that can give the impression it's been played 'live' rather than just looped. Pads - that's what's missing... a pad with an LFO on the filter could add some depth to the tune.

Bedrock "Heaven Scent" is what comes to my mind, especially during the last couple of minutes.
