I think this is a really interesting take on Devil's Lettuce! I know you said to skip to 1:30, but I listened to the whole thing anyways. ;)

I think the main synth in first drop is super old-school dubstep, while the growls and main synth in the second drop is very new-school brostep/riddim. It might work if the synths were processed to be a bit more aggressive and cohesive - the growls are very sharp and loud while the main synths feel a bit quiet in comparison. Applying some distortion and compression on a bus or send and turning down the growls might help bring them all closer together in volume and bring them some clarity and loudness in the mix, or maybe changing your mixdown to bring down some of the other elements like the snare and the chants to give them more room in the mix.

I actually did a Moombahcore edit of the same track, using similar techniques to group process all my bass sounds. It might give you some ideas on where you could take this track!

Looking forward to the finished product! :)

Thanks for the detailed feeedback. Gonna go and try to mess with that bass a bit. Appreciate it.

Sounds a crazy, and the drums hit hard. I would say that in general if you gave some more space in the track (either fills that don't hit as hard, or change up the sound a bit)  would really make things hit harder. Right now you're going 100% the whole time, which is awesome, but it'll be the change between the quiet/more subdued stuff and what you have already that will really make it bang.

Good stuff dude, keep at it!

Solid concept. I 2nd what the guy said about the 1st drop synth needing more character and sound on the synthdub lead. Definitely needs some distortion and compression to bring out the synth as well as a good eq can help!

I'd also add that getting a better snare and some high hats in there would help add to the rhythm, but that's just preference.

Good take on devil's lettuce.
