The drums and bass fit nicely. The background synth/organ seems out of place. When I listen to DnB I'm really feeling the atmospheric synths. Yours fits well with the bass, I'm just used to more of an atmosphere, if you know what I mean.

She's got a really good voice! I'm thinking an atmospheric synth would blend so much better with her vocals.

Very nice job! She has an excellent voice. I really like the overall vibe, and this tempo is tough to make work. But you pulled it off honestly. I feel like the sound selection is a little bit all over the place. A lot of different sounds, for instance, you have a guitar sounding instrument plucking notes, then immediately after you have a whistle synth. Not saying it's wrong or anything, it was just a little unsettling for me.

Also the delayed vocal chop at 1:07 seems to be off pitch.

Really awesome job boss! Reminds of the Tomb Raider 1 soundtrack

Nice intro, melody goes well with her voice, but the synths and instruments are a little thin/clean for typical D&B. The whistle sound that comes in in the middle kind of interferes with the vocal (same freq range), maybe bring it one octave down would help?

I think others have already said what I also noticed, the track is not bad but could use some improvement. And the sound of her voice is really good!

thanks for the feedback, I think Im going to go back to it and try to make it a bit less (all over the place). I took my hip hop remix which I wasnt happy with, then turned it into a drum n bass remix, might explain the sound selections lol.

What a voice! Reminds me of Lily Allen @ 1.52.
Love the DnB remixes you’ve done, nice change every now and then
