So, in the name of having my shit together and actually finishing a track ahead of schedule I'd like a critique if you'd be so kind? I'll include the listing as per and also put the references in, the bottom track is mine. Thanks guys.

Lots of DRUM & BASS INSTRUMENTALS and/or INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a European Music Licensing Company who has been placing a ton of TAXI Music lately!

Please send in top-tier Drum & Bass Instrumentals and/or Cues bursting with tons of high-octane energy! Your submissions should have engaging rhythms, memorable motifs, and plenty of forward motion.

Yeah I think it's on target, the main thing I would say is your snare is poking out of the mix quite a but so either pull it back somewhat , or darken it , or throw some Soothe on it ...or possibly all 3 just to make it sit in the track better
