nice beat
finally i hear a well profeesional produced beat!!good sounds, good mixed!!! good job!!! that riddle in background very cool!!! it give something funky groovy!! hehe!! yeah! ahhw0:56 I was hoping for some heavier stuff because your beats sound awsome, and the harp thing it more for classical music
Well it a very good beat, but the production and sequencing, is not so good, beside the riddle and beat nothing is quit intresting and fits with the intro riddle and beats. so i say delete every thing else and remake thing to a AWSOME freestyle track, because it hase the potentials!

Minimal Groove.
Subscribing to the less is more theory, this jam brings the beats without any sort of pretension. Once the scratching came in two things happened to me as a listener:
1. I was impressed with the ability of the turntablist and I instantly thought of DJ Shadow.
2. I wondered if it was real scratching or just some sort of emulation.
Short and sweet. The guitar track in this song could have been altered some to add intrigue, but that is mainly an opinion.
Good production and writing.

Review
Love the D & B intro. Great sequencing/program on the drums. 48s into the song and same ole same ole. Finally some piano… sounds nice. COOL scratching. This is tight. I like what is happening at 1:36s. Nice strings too. Good work with this song. Big thumbs up.

You got Beat skills!
Ok lets not get repetative with the beats few ok here is the melody… was worring if it was ever gonna get here, like the scritchity scratchin.
What you have is good but it feels like it needs more meat to it.

kinda cool
at first i was kind of wondering-how is this gonna work?? this crazy drumbeat all by itself ? then as the different sounds were introduced it really started to make sense and really come together-even thought the basic drum track was present through the whole thing it works-it doesn’t feel too repetitive or grating.
i could really hear this under some quick cut edited video-something maybe about skate or snow boarding or maybe something art related-does that make sense?
since the whole song is under 3.5 minutes my only suggestion might be to shorten the intro a bit-but it all depends on how you’re using it -
you might even want to add to the whole thing.
either way it’s cool

Pro Programming!
Cool programmed drums with a great groove…nice….sweet little itty bitty keys come in like spiders crawling and makeing there way to eat there food that is trapped in this complex percussive maze. Wonderful guitar like keyboard sound and the part is really catchy and hooky. The guy that did this track is a pro and it shows!

More work needed to pick up beat
Way too repetative - can set a clock to this. Heaps better when the “Musical part” start. => may need to cut out long repetetive into to keep interest of your listeners. Scratch effect is a bit overdone.
Well not hooky - but kinda atmospheric. Would work on creating something a little more exagerated from the existing work to bring a recognisable feel to the song. - Maybee emphasise drums/ beat/ percussion a bit more for example.

Spacey, but not enough
Right off the bat, I think the introduction gives us a good idea of tone and rhythm, but little else, so it should have gone into the melody of the song much faster.
But the melody and production could have worked better if they felt like they were leading somewhere. The random scratches and blips kept things interesting at first, but start to work against the song after about a minute. The plucking rhythm in the back is useful and cool, but could have used a little more diverse tones and sounds, not just the constant scratching.
And perhaps this is a hard criticism, seeing as how some artists couldn’t sing if they were forced to at gunpoint, but some electronic tracks, like this one, could really use a cheering section, by which I mean vocals. I think it would have been a more pleasurable and classy experience overall.
A good effort, but needs some fine tuning.

scratchy
I don’t really like the drum sequence, too close to modern beat tracks. The intro is long with the drum sequence, the arpegios following is nice, harpy stuff. And yes, the scratch, nice demo of your talent of scratcher, you may need a big black fella to rap over your song, it would add a little plus to the song. good work for the scratch.

beatbox
The intro takes a little too long before additional sounds begin to come in. I like the beatbox beat that’s going on, but it gets a little too “scratchy” toward the end of the song. This is a nice beginner idea to a song, but never really fully develops into a full-blown tune, which should at least kind of happen in almost a four minute song. Hard for me to say where it needs to go, but it just never takes me anywhere.
As far as the individual sounds go, I like the synth that plays what is probably considered the lead riff, but the scratching noises get pretty annoying around 2:20. The high hat cymbal is also a little generic.
(for the person who reviews my review: this is just a song of electronic riffs, not a song with vocals…so there is a limited amount of things to comment on)
