I don't like Dubstep.

But I love glitch and harder-styled techno, so this was still really good in my opinion.

I'm one of those people that just doesn't get dubstep. It really does sound like a bunch of synths just going apeshit with the FX during a slow ass beat. The climb before the chorus seems to just leave it's crescendo power behind the moment the chorus actually begins because of the speed of the build vs. the slower chug of the breakdown. Maybe that's because they synths sound like they overpower the beat, and if the choral beat was heavier/louder (Maybe to the point where it cuts into the dub synths) then it wouldn't sound almost like a letdown for me.

The synths during the chorus are indeed badass, but I feel that it holds too much of it's power in the lower end of the spectrum. Maybe that's because I'm wishing there was a higher pitched, harder, heavy lead that actually has melody to it. Here's why I say that:
Because as far as I can tell your melodic content is limited to the same 4 notes. Maybe if you gave it something else I would have been satisfied because I'm absolutely a melody man and a I know a lot of classically trained ears out there search for melody as well.

That being said, I really enjoyed the glitch you occasionally pulled with the center heavy dub synth during the chorus. It kept me interested since it was pretty damn cool.

I can also respect the mixing in this, even if it was done in Fruity Loops which makes mixing/mastering much easier with the amount of plug-ins they have for Techno stuff.

Finally, I do recognize goddamn good techno when I hear it, even if it's not really a genre I listen to. And this is pretty good goddamn techno. So props to you and all that.

Overall I enjoyed it, I listened to it around 6 or 7 times looping until I decided "I need coffee". Your song is good, but it's just not enough to wake me up in the morning. I need my substances.

meh

quality production yet again bud. but the kick roll build ups are getting old :P
not 1st place material though

bass

i didt even know you coul squeez this much bass out of my stupid old headphones, love you for this.

Inspired !

All the way down to the sinful depths of my soul..!

Awesome!

Like most of your songs, this one too surpasses NG standards by far. I dare to bet my left assball that most of you who did not vote 5, are tonedeaf zerobombers who will never make it in the music industry anyway. Therefore, you spend your miserable life to downvote great NG tracks in order to highlight your own smelly shit for a temporarily better ranking.

Keep up the good work, xKore! :)
