It's got a cool atmosphere mate, only thing I would say is that the lyrics are not in time with the beat. when Jakes says 'what's the game if you haven't got a rep' the emphasis is on the word game. That's where your bar should start, where the first kick should coincide with. i've actually remixed that track too (albeit a dnb version) so feel free to listen to that as it would probably explain a bit better.
Apart from that maybe some abstract higher pitched sounds/fx in between the vocals to mix it up a bit?
this is a WIP from me, I want to do something a bit different in the 2nd drop, but overall thoughts appreciated

Quality stuff, Catalyst - reminded me of Noisia's 'Reptilians'. Loved the outro notes.
Can't comment too thoroughly as I'm only listening on the tinny little speakers at work. It's not my flavour of dnb but from my current shitty speakers, levels sound even. Nothing jumps out. Break seems to punch well and the little bass I can hear sounds well developed. Nice build ups on both drops. Highs and shuffles compliment the tune well and don't sound forced in or lost in the mix. Will have another listen when I'm home to see if I can nitpicky and update this feedback.
Home speakers update: That kick is phat. And there's a low frequency from something that's making my butt tingle. I like it. If you've got more of the same output, I reckon it's worth sending out some pure fiah mixtapes to a few labels.

Yeah I really like your sounds. Bassline of Infinite Love is great.yeah. loved that catalyst stuff. so I started following. and thnx for the follow back catalyst !
I have a few wips. well, strictly not wip anymore because they will never be finished. still some feedback would be nice
Drums need some work, but you've got composition down pretty well. Keep it up.
Just listened to the SoundCloud upload and realised I hadn't muted the vocals. They're not fully done yet. Mainly timing issues as they're slightly out and got some more automation and shit to do to them. Glad you think I raised the bar again. I'm way to unsure of my ability.
Brex that percussion is stellar. Mad eerie vibes through the whole thing, well produced. Not really much negative to say, i feel like the drop could use a bit more of a bassline, but the experimental-weird-industrial-but-live-vibe is sick. Good job mate. Here, have some more confidence. You've earned it.
Alright buddo, your turn. 1st impression is... *waits for drop* WHOA! banger. Tight and dirty, the way i love em. This is dope, n my style DnB. Nice use of those calm synths to tone it down just enough to bring it all back.
Man you guys got me feelin' like i really need to step my game up

Nice work!

Thanks man, that's because it's in my sig, n not a tune I posted
but thank you for the feedback anyways mate. I'm working on an FM synth-based tune right now, I'll post that up here [hopefully] by the end of the day to see what you guys think.I like the intro, maybe throw a hi hat or something in there to give DJs a beat to match to. Anything simple will do. The cut-off entrance for the bass is cool, good sound choice for the bass itself. only complaint i have is that the snare doesn't hit hard enough. Good eerie vibe through the tune though, well done there.
