Rearranged the drop to flow more fluidly.

Just a kind of practice , until I get into making more heavy stuff, sort of a warm up. Indefinably not my best , though I enjoyed this one day session I did yestarday. Happy with the way it came out.

this is the first thing you've made that i've actually liked your choice of 'instruments' The weight is a shit ton better too. Actually has some motion and momentum. well done generally. You need a more decisive entrance after a drop though.

Thank you so much. Yea I totally agree , the entrance to the drop kind of happened as if the drop started midway. Next song I will break it up more and mix it in better. Thanks again.

The melody is kinda good for a dubstep song, but honestly I didn't enjoy the bassline.
btw: is that a real 140 bpm?

Maybe it's just my taste but I would've liked a stronger/deeper bass, and I liked the melody. Also drops could be done a bit more dramatic, not simply quiet down for the drop but to actually build up and then bring the drop with a strong bass. Good job.

Yea indefinably I will take that into consideration for my next track. Thanks. Yea I usually do that with the second drop where the buildup leads into faster version of the first drop with some variation.

138–142 bpm

Yea I kind of agree that they kind of clashed. But The drop bassline by it's self was kind of bland. I will incorporate more synthy/heavy bassess in future productions. Thanks.

Needs more deep bass.
And I found the pause between the build-up and the drop to be too long (you don't have to shorten it though, you could add something in it just before the drop). Other than that, that wasn't bad. :)
Listen to some stuff by Arkasia (particularly New World Disorder and Fall of the Republic). Should give you some inspiration.

it must be near this bpm, because dubstep is based on house music, same for grime
UK garage rulez

well that's the stupidest shit ive ever heard. no offense to you all who explained it, i just find that boxing a BPM on something is intrinsically bad for musical expression. If every dubstep piece only has a range of 10 bpm that's gotta get really fucking boring. i dont listen to the music often so i dont know. but put some variety

One of the things that define "dubstep" is that it has 140 beats per minute (or close to it). If you start changing things then what you're actually doing is veering away from the original genre and venturing into a new one.
What I have noticed though is that the general perception of what dubstep "is" has gradually changed. Modern dubstep songs have become a lot more upbeat, adding in elements from electro and house.
And Waffles, nahh it doesn't get boring even if dubstep songs are within a range of 10 BPM. :)
This is what I meant by "modern", more upbeat, dubstep:

Dubstep House Grime and many other genres are using the same BPM, this is nothing boring since no-one can find similarities between them. Genres are just adding/deleting some beats/kicks and then you have the bases of the genre.
Music is sound art with rules, I know it's hard to accept but it's like that. :P
BTW: The last music Fate shared (bonefire), the drop is at ~0:55, this is the 16 bars rules
(60/70) * (16*4) = 54,8571... seconds
Many other drops are around 27 seconds (the half) cause of the 8 bars rules, but the drop can come even faster, or after if there is an intro out of the beats.

"Music is sound art with rules"
albeit i do agree with that statement, I don't thinks its so clearly defined as # of bars/BPM. Had Max Roach been like "swing drumming only works at 160 BPM" then a whole branch of jazz just simply would not exist. Bop is a different genre within jazz naturally, but for many reasons other than simply BPM. Not to say that this is a counter-argument to why dubstep should not be that way, it merely strikes me as odd. And btw, 16 bars of what? functional harmony? always sounds like nonsense to me, minus an overly obvious tonal center. Maybe this is why i shouldn't listen to house/dubstep. Or am i missing the stravinsky of these genres?

Uhm, so what's progressive music then? There are rules in time signatures, yes but tempo isn't a rule. Waffles, I recommend you Reso. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWHiS596yaM
Dubstep wasn't originally based around drops. It's this modern, generic brostep that tricks people to think ALL dubstep is like that.

I think progressive contains many genres, not sure about that but I know there is rock and electro into. So it's not a music genre if i'm right - must check.

I think the term progressive just means that a genre has some sort of progression in it before it actually gets to what the genre is about.For example , Progressive House , is very slow evolving , but it's still considered house because of the plucks , bpm and such.

Arkasia is amazing. Fall of the Republic was one of the most filthiest songs I have ever heard.
