Dude, if you want "teh Urban/KungFu crossover" then you can't go far wrong by checking out
any of the Bruce Lee films where Lalo Schiffrin did the soundtrack. That guy was a goddamn genius....

Cool! It's nice to see you can transpose your expert style (DnB) onto something a little more subtle. I was expecting some car-window shattering blast, but no - there's more to it than that
You've got the beat spot on - it's western, but the wooden instruments give it that extra something
The strings in the background at the start don't sound right somehow. Also, perhaps the guitar is too loud. Experiment with making it quiter and softer. It just sounds too harsh, but then again that could be because there's nothing else at the break 30 seconds in.
Anyway - after 1 minute, it's all good. Nice bass & melody. Once again, the beat kicks ass. Good mood change at 1:30 and back in at 2 minutes.
Overall, I think you've got the feeling right, it's just the intro and those guitars for me

I've just looked over my post, and you can tell I'm secretly still passionate about music production. It's probably one of my most constructive posts ever
I should get back into it some time.
If you were MEANT to understand it, we wouldn't have called it 'code'
