First of all the keys in the intro are really nice
I do not like the wobbles, its so harsh sounding, and doesn't really make a cohesive groove.
With the sub, it comes in before the drop and then just disappears, reappearing very rarely. Its like you used it for effect rather than as a core part of the tune, which is a strange choice.
However I appreciate that there are a lot of elements in this tune and its sounds like you've put a lot of work into the sound design
You say this is an early mix, id like to see what you do with it, keep at it

hey dude, first up thanks for the feedback
the wobbles i do agree need a bit more work in order to keep them flowing..
i use 3 different subs in the song, one of which i made in massive, which is the one that drops when the wobbles do, i only realised after checkin out the tune on big speakers that the other sub-samples are way more distinct then the massive instance of the sub. Perhaps i just need to boost it up and add more movement to it; perhaps a side-chain.. I'm gonna have to put more work into the lower freq altogether i believe..

thanks again man, will post up the final version when i get a chance to do it.
i guess i just posted this a little too early because i knew its gonna be about 2 weeks til i have the facilities to work on the track again..
