Just a dj and producer living in Delaware, interested in electronic music.
Here you'll find drum and bass, chill out and maybe even a little hip hop as I keep working on refining my sound. I may even put up a mix or two in the future.

When i saw the 10, i was expecting big things......i was disappointed........but then i found myself really digging this tune, it grew on me fast! The mix down was fantastic dramatic, cool and completely in line with the tracks smooth vibes.
For me when someone says Drum and Bass, i imagine stabs, grunting synths and bass lines that will promote hair loss, this was an unexpected change i normally ... More have no patience for this type of dnb but i has to say "that was dope, dig it?"
The intro starts off nicely with a good simple break, a nice pad, nice arp and builds well with more breaks, vocals and subtle sounds.
The drop is satisfying but the additional snare on the drums washes it out too much. A rim shot type snare with a bit of reverb for real character would really help this track especially when the added percussion loop brings focus to the drums. Really all the drum ... More work is great except for the snare which is passable and listenable but I feel it does not suit the character of the rest of the track.
The synths and bass hit the right spots, the structure flows nicely and the atmosphere is spot on.
This track is getting close to the kind of chilled rollers I love from Caliber and Netsky. It just needs more character in the drums, particularly the snare. You have the production skill to do this.
Oh man this track really starts full of expectations and in general it's quite good. But for my taste there seems to be a lack of elements that you could use for your arrangement. Becasue of that fact you only add new drums to your chorus and later you switch to a new bassline, that does not really fit my expectations from the intro. Keep on!!
