If you have time take a listen and give DannyStyles some feedback.
this is a very nice track what i look for in any track is clarity i want to hear the drum loops and all the individual parts and well this has it all and i like this very much i do like the sub you used that comes in i would have loved to have heard a bit more bass on it but thats just me overall great track and i am going to fav it keep them coming dude
Hm.. I'm not that much into drum n bass, but I'll try to give some feedback on this one.
The first thing that comes to mind is that it's too.. predictible.
As TimmyTrash said, the flanger effect on the drum was really cool, but after a while I loose interest in it since it's heard throughout the whole song. Same goes for the bass, it sounds good, but I would like to hear some variations in melody/effects in it.
An other thing that I felt while listening was the emptiness in the mid-low upper spectrum. I know drum n' bass sometimes isn't much about melodies, but one thing I thought might give this song a kick is to add a subtle piano 2-3 minutes into the song which builds up by playing more often and more louder over a course of ~2 minutes, and then add a klimax at the end with a catchy piano or synth melody. (yeah, I'm a sucker for Pendulum)
Other than that, I think it sounds great. Good choises of sounds and mixed well. I liked that there's a lot of sounds and effects flying around.
Thanks Paradoxal. I have taken note of what you said, and after reading the review and listening again I decided you were 100% Correct so i've done a new version - I've switched the edits on the 8bar/16bar sections and tried to make it less predictable. I also took note of what Timmy Trash had said and have "beefed" up the string/pad sections (note for timmy: That was Absynth 4) - I've also added a few more sound FX and bits'n'pieces to keep the interest going. I think this new version is MUCH better. Thanks for the constructive criticisms guys. Appreciate it.
Yo dude, like your attention to detail drums wise. Like the little hats or the bongo's which btw pins the groove down nicely. I also liked the way you automated the flanger effect on the beat every 8 bars or whatever. Id say add some more one shot hits/effects & stereo interest basically. And i think you should improve the atmospheric sweep style synth, did you use albino 3 for that? It sounds a bit thin. Try using some chords or just layering up different octaves in the midi. Btw, i thought the bassline was sick too. Big up! :)
Your comments are gratefully received and I've done a new version. I replied in detail to Paradoxal's comments - so see there what I've said... Check out the new version though!! cheers!

Description : Chaos....Chaos ensues when life is unfolding in many different ways all around you. A demand here, a demand there, do this, do that, things going wonky or all happening at the same time. It's overwhelm but it's excitement, it's crazy but it's also very real.

Description : About five years ago I made a dubstep track called Labyrinth Of The Absurd. This is part 2. Check out part 1 if you haven't yet. This is a Dark D-n-B. Or whatever.
I used Serum, Massive, Sylenth1. I used no presets, and no prefabricated loops. This is all original content from scratch. The only exception being the vocal samples.
Description : Ambient breaking into dnb I guess. All loops (except for 1 synth by my 7 yo daughter) so I can’t take much credit for this. Free demo loops from Loopmasters and LM loops from:

Description : 170 BPM drum 'n' cell epic. That's drum 'n' bass with lots of my layered, lead cello playing. It's both banging and chilled out, with intricate basslines and soaring, melodic cello parts. Instruments: electric cello, piano, three synth basses, two synth pads. Drums are loads of drum loops supported by a few programmed acoustic drum kits. It's fast and powerful stuff but there are also two deep grooving half tempo sections. No guitar so anything that sounds like it might be is, unsurprisingly, cello. This was fairly hard to make and required a lot of hard work. It's still far from perfect, especially the rather abrupt, unimaginative ending (I couldn't think of anything better). Have a good listen and then consider leaving me some fascinating feedback. Not much drum 'n' cell about so I like to think this is worth checking out...
Description : This track uses lyrics written in Morse Code, with tempo and pitch adjustments to fit. I’ve also programmed some Morse into an analog synth part.

Description : So ive been listening to alot of dnb lately, and i decided to try my hand at it. It turned out to be alittle more chillout than I wanted it to be, but I still like how it turned out.
A ambient type of DnB track, one to make you think, Second attempt at the DnB genre for this year, again apologise to Drum and Bass artist, guessing again not your normal DnB.Used flute Rhodes Piano, and a few other bits to hopefully get the feeling for the piece I wanted, along with a few break beats/bass lines and FX etc...
Please comment/review and the favour will be returned...
Description : Merry Christmas to everyone, and thanks for all your downloads. This song is from 2016 but is here in this christmas. Thanks to Raphael29 for this great loops. Have a nice day and enjoy!
