Hahahah! This is awesome - I love the clarinet lead line. The bass is thick and punchy - and you sure weren't kidding when you said "oldschool"!

Only critique I've got is that the bassline is a little too loud, and the kick gets lost - maybe try using a comb filter on both the kick and the bass (offset a little, so they mix together nicely), or maybe layering another kick on top with more mid/high frequencies, like, say, a TR-505 kick.

Very cute! :clap:

Hey Nice One! Thanks a lot for the feedback, it's much appreciated

I've only got access to a guitar amp :oops: for the time being which I think explains the bassiness, it's difficult to get right e- specially when I can adjust everythin on the amp to get it sounding good to my ears rather than on my computer :D

Will follow your advice on the kick/bass mix and repost, thanks again for the comments!

Yea man, I like it too. Try checking this on some headhones (could be worth a try). I think once you get that level on the bass it should sound sorted. ;). I like that horror type sound at at the start, its almost as epic as the hoover

good use of the "vocal" sample that is.

Cheers all for feedback, I'm having trouble getting that kick right though, think this is slightly better tho - http://www.whatgwan.com/thunk2.mp3[/url]

its sounding good, have you tried compressing the kick and the bass together, i find this helps them to sit better together
