Really giving off those oldschool straight to vinyl dnb tracks.
Given a time and a place this would have defo been played on one of those raves etc.
Not that i participated in any of them, born way out of the era. :p
If id reccomend anything then it would be to really go ham with the soulfuls sounds, all those light guitar riffs and thick pads and bellz of the sort, hell you should listen to some of marcus intalex songs and take your inspiration there.
I hope i was of some help im not really good at giving advice cause heck i i probably need it more myself.

Thanks buddy - yeh it's quite "old" sounding I guess! Can be hard to get the balance between the music / melody and "dance factor"...you think I could have gone a bit more apeshit with it on this then?>??

 

[risto orpus]

Not apeshit per say but definetaly couldve pushed the melodic elements further.
More unique melodies, sounda and defunetaly variation.
Just my opinion tho dont take it as a proffessionals critique

Use a different bassline- that dread bass is worn out . Drums are good - need tobe eq'd razor sharp..bring out the transients. Again swap out eth amen snare and insert a better one, but keep eth rest of eth amen break so you keep the energy.

Mess aroudn more with the electric bass sound sub under that wil sound alot different, and ear catching...

Quality old school vibes on this. Loving the sound selection.
