New minimal tech-house-esque Guano track (320) - Chapletown

Thought a mild change in direction was in order! No more party dubstep... well, for a while atleast. This one is much more like progressive house or minimal techno. Tell me what you think PLEASE!

There must be a few tech fans out there... surely!
I must warn you also, the beat is quite easy to lose, ESPECIALLY before the 2nd drop. If you can, listen to it very loud, and maybe with a bit of a smoke too. In a darkened room. (Like all dubstep, really)
Thanks,
Guano

nice! i like this. good breakdown with the build. production and sound quality is great. my only advice is that the reggae organ gets a little monotonous, maybe a little sweeping on that. also not too big on the fadeout at the end.. maybe a proper ending? great tune.

feeling it. i would mess around with different organ sounds..maybe some layers. i like where it's at though.

that bleeping organ sound thruout is really grating
its like i couldnt hear the track properly because my ears kept focussing in on that noise
i would probly take that out and make more of the tune underneath. really get that techno/ambient/dubstep vibe building.

everything about this tune i like - im really feeling that techno/dub crossover thing at the minute - but that bleepy thing is bringing down a good tune.

the breakdown from 03.20 to 04.44 is fucking awesome

sorry if all that sounded harsh

but i reckon you got a really fucking good tune here and i feel strongly that its being let down

Thanks to all for very helpful and constructive criticisms!
"that bleeping organ sound thruout is really grating" - I'll try take it down a notch/get rid of it. After the intro?

You're right, a proper ending would work.

I'll be tweaking later this week with your comments in mind, people. Can't have 3 people complaining about an organ sound!
Once again, thank you very much.

i reckon thatd do it
i think just cuz its so prominent and high pitched its hard to hear it as part of a whole and it seems to seperate itself out you know?

I really like this. If i dont get a "re vamped" version by the tenth im still gonna play it.

Beautiful chord structure.

I can understand that. It would be nice if you were able to pop round and listen to every tune I write, and give your input, as it is helpful and informative. It's very difficult to listen impartially to songs of your own making.

I hope this isn't the 10th reply!

This is really good, the production is strong, and I like the styles in the tune.

Nice one!

I agree somewhat with the comments re the high-pitched organ bleep thing, but I like the idea. Perhaps if you had it drop in and out a bit more, or had effects (even just dubby delay/reverb) coming in and out on - it to change the texture of it.

Really good regardless

it needs to drop out to just bass and beats some point, perhaps with the "anoying" organ behind filterd right down to sound like a bell or shome shit with fuk loads of delay on....

or not

yeah, i like this one.

too bad the reverberized snares are mono. kinda lacks the d-step's spacey mood.

in other words - MORE STEREO FXes

anyways, the tune is great!

I love this tune man. I don't even mind the "annoying" beepy sound. I see where people are coming from with it, as it does persist for most of the track, but I like the melody it plays. Like a few people said, maybe just come fx or something. If theres a revamp I'll dl for sure, but it's a strong well produced tune for sure. Always diggin the Guano styles.
