I always end up with busy productions! The way I like it guess! Cheers for checking... Vocal sample is from the bladerunner soundtrack..

Very nice... reminds me of some kind of dub mix you'd hear off a commercial pop/rock song. Taking elements that seem to live elsewhere and transplanting them into this groove.
Definitely a busy track, but I like it a lot. Any chance of getting a higher bit-rate version?

Don't mind the business so much, but not keen on the vocal sample and the chord stabs sound a bit 80's soft rock to me. Think the rhythms pretty good, but the bongos samples sound a bit synthetic and they sound very quantized, so you might want to loosen up the velocities and the timing a bit. Bass sounds heavy but drops out too often to make it a good skanker.
Depends what you're going for - with a few tweaks and some more drum cutups it would sound quite Boxcuttery to me. Good that it's quite joyful as well, sadly lacking in much dubstep these days. I'd maybe put some delay automation in it too just to liven things up a bit.
Is good, look forward to the finished mix

Yes! The shonkmeister on the good feedback tip again, cheers for your help! (If that chord sounds a bit 80's its because it is... - from Manhunter s/track)
Will review and let you know.
