Not particularly looking for any compliments or anything just mainly want to hear from someone experienced in mixing (and mastering too if you have some useful advice to apply to mixing)

Been working on this track for a while and I would like to know from well trained ears if you hear any inconsistencies/sounds that should sit at higher or lower frequencies/tricks you would apply, etc

The track is in my sig.

My only complaint would be the snare in't punchy enough but it would be easy to cure high pass the verb and make the tail shorter.
I actually think its the bet piece of bro thats been posted on this board for a while.
Mix sounds pretty tight for me and i really like the arrangement even though its a tad bit short.
I love the drop,comes in with some violence on both drops.I'm pretty sure your just fishing for compliments because this track is pretty fucking good.

On my second listen maybe the hats are a bit quiet,they do sound a bit lost in the overall scheme of things.Also the drums could groove a lot more to add a bit of movement to the track.The drums just sound a bit sterile and flat when the rest of the mix sounds really vibrant.
Not taking anything away from the track because it is a banger.

Thanks for the feedback.

Honestly I am not fishing for compliments just trying to get the damn thing to perfection, but thanks anyways. I'm pretty much isolated in a brand new city where I don't know too many other producers so this forum is among one of only places I can go to for good advice at the moment.

I agree with you about the drums, you know you tend to get tinnitus after hearing music for too long and things may sound a little different then they should lol.

I'm going to definitely play with the drums a little more after my ears get some time to rest lol

See my advice for when working with hats is stereo delay and ring modulation.i think you can have a really boring hat loop but when you add a bit of these to plugs and muck around with the setting you can get some awesome panning and filter effects going that really add to the drums groove.I tend to do this sort of stuff once i have my bass and drums rolling as i find its always easier to get the panning effects to fit the groove of the track.
But nah mate mad props you've got some skills.

Funny thing is I really don't listen to a lot of "bro"step, I really prefer to listen to Drum and Bass & deep dubstep styles more like what you produce. I listened to Old Bill In Space and I actually think there is a lot to learn from in your drum work so I'll take your advice into play

Cheers mate appreciated,that track was just a combo of stereo delay and ring mod on the hats,they were really simple drums to make to be honest.I use logic and its stock ring mod plug has a filter built in and it makes some really nice effects to hats when added lightly.I would say try it and see how it works out but just remember your drums in that track are pretty damn good so i wouldn't go to mad.

Altered the drums a bit, turned up the hats, extended the track a little. The changes should show up the sig

choice track, except the bridge is a bit predictable

Sounds pretty crystal to me perhaps a bit too much reverb throughout maybe side-chain the reverb to the kick.

It sounds pretty well mixed.
