    Again the arrangement - for me - has a lack of suspence. It could use more arcs within the parts. The bass (Analog Saw init) sound for instance starts again at bar 65 and goes on to bar 195 without any break, filter movement, or variation in melody or rhythm. Though some of the other parts are changing this one is too dominant to ignore that it doesn't.
    Don't get me wrong, please, I really like and enjoy the sounds and what you are playing, no doubt about that, but I'm missing some arcs within the 32 bar parts (melodies, arps, sweeps, breaks).

    But take into consideration my favourite genres are techno, HM and classical music, so maybe I just have no clue what dnb is all about.

    I love your clean sound but I feel (but right now) you lack your own direction. I have the same problem. I can hear how close to being really good you are getting with this. My advice: Stop imitating the past and do your own future thang.

    Check out Dj Krust "The Portal" forthcoming on 31 recordings 2018 See below at 53 minutes in

    thank you very much my friend for your thoughts :bow:
    Dj Krust is an amazing artist and i like the track.
    I listen to a lot of liquid d&b more than the rest of styles of d&b.
    My favorite artist is the legendary Calibre.
    I'm not trying to imitate anyone(i know what you are saying in your post :bow: :wink:),
    i was just having some fun & enjoying making music.
    From the above track i just managed to cook this little thing(just for fun nothing more :wink:)
    thank you for your post :

    I love Calibre too and I know you're not trying to copy stuff but without a direction that feels like your own that's what happens.....

    Now this is your best piece so far.....
