nice...

...in my opinion this is a hybrid of semi-hard house and drum n bass. The kick suggests house music, but then the drum breaks that come in after suggest DnB. Musically it is kinda basic, theres no real substance, or hook to it, and after reading your desription I realise that this isn't the finished article, so fair enough. The bass arp is the main riff that tries to glue the trk together, but it is not half as good as the progressive beats thet appear later in the trk.
I would like to hear the finished version of this trk as either a dnb or house trk, not a hybrid, cos in my ears it doesnt quite work, but hey, what do I know:D
