 You should try adding a short, not too loud 808 snare in place of some of those toms. I think it's ducking too hard during the clap, and maybe take the sub away from the break. I think this track is coming along quite well, I love the chords and also how the toms aren't so loud during the transitions. Keep going at it. :)

Ooh nice. I like the little hits panned off to the side, and especially the little pitched up vocal chops that scatter in.  The composition is really cool and I like the arp in the break in the middle.  I wonder if the clap could use some more impact? It's kinda distant and lo-fi right now, which is also cool. I like what you have, the style is awesome and sounds like something I'd hear on XLR8R's yearly downloads compilation.

Sounds great! I kind of like the extreme ducking, maybe it's because of all the future house bass stuff that I've been exposed to lately... Agree with outofplastic about the sub during the break.

As for the toms, to me they sound a bit too thin. Maybe a tiny bit of reverb would help?

I love it. I think a little fillter envelope on that hihat would suit it. ...so you have that 10kHz range for few ms, but it doesn't feel harsh after. But that's just tiny little detail. I actually like it a lot. :)

Great work with vocal chops and detuned keys. :)
