that bass is really well done and drives the track well, i like it
however i feel your intro is either too long or could use some more elements (maybe a pad or a stripped down version of the beats coming in gradually)

just my two cents tho

yeh so - as said above your bass is working really well. only think i dont like is the 2nd bass riff - it doesn't have quite the step to match the drums and the first bass riff - kinda took alot of the energy away from the track, and there is ALOT of energy when it drops first time. just wasnt feeling the slower "wobble", i'd like it to retain some of the first vibe. but thats me. also - your hi hats sounded a bit quiet in the mix - but im not on the best of speakers here at the moment so it might translate differently when i listen back on my monitors.

Cheers for the feedback so far.

@ dfaultuzr : I've had the same feedback on the intro from a few people, some people saying it's a bit out of place/long. I like your suggestion of creeping the bass in though, gonna give that a go.

@ Capture pt : I did have the hats louder, but i'm struggle with mixes, never took the time to learn it enough to have a better effect on my tracks, but will take a look into that for sure. In regards to the bass, thanks for your opinion, I tried to extend the life of the track with a different drop, but agree that the slower wobble probably doesn't sound/fit as well as the others.

Thanks again

if youre having trouble mixing the hates, trying panning them ever so slightly to the left or the right, imagine how a actual drum kit is set up - not everything is in the center. I find doing this helps bring space to the mix, while achieving the right levels.

that's why DSF isn't just chatting bullshit.

nice and dark and good bass line with lots of movment!
feeling the drum flex as well!
The only thing i'd say is to switch up the bass noise a little, just for variation in sound.

Nice beat with smooth hihats! Intro is good, bass is not 100% my soul but it sound proper here - nide distortion! like the sound addition at 1.50 !
good job in overall
