Some of my chops need re-doing.
I'd give vocals a try but don't have a good mic set up to record on right now. One critique, at least in my headphones the is white noise, crash or part of a synth or something, way up in the hi's that plays throughout that I would consider removing or tweaking.
Start submitting to UKF or something. Your stuff needs to be getting played out.

Strong track, now... Listen to the rudimental album in order to get your mix and sound design polished. It's a very catchy anthem, but now needs to be made a bit more accesible, if you know what i mean.

MSZ - thx, but always feel free to nitpick - I think of the process a bit like getting a sports coach to round off my rough edges.
Chris - yes I am checking that out but after I've tried a couple of people local to me. Thx for your enthusiasm now and prior.
Loverman - thx - I tried doing the vocal many times but am now seeking a singer - one local guy I think would be good but I have not contacted him yet until the track sounds right. I think the hi you've spotted is me adding too much treble to the synths - I need a clean ear session on this. Feel free to have a go though if you think you might come up with a good vocal performance. The words I have are about someone not wanting to back down, not wakin by, taking up the challenge - it's a narrative that could apply to a lot of situations.
Raphie - do you have a particular track or two in mind as this will help me keep focused? I don't have a great pallet of synths so I'm not sure I will be able to deliver better sounds (the bad sound designer always blames his tools eh) but I deffo want this input you've given me as I cannot see the wood for the tree's / I'm too close to the track to be able to step back and make better decisions. Rudimental use a lot of real instruments I think?
Mix wise I will deffo need advice on.

really cool track Richard, really like the vibe, sounds uplifting to me.
On the production side, theres some sort of harshness/distortion in the highs, sounds like its over the whole mix but not sure, probably just me hearing it

I decided to have some fun and do a bootleg of a classic--if a bit more on the commercial euro-trance side--track. Decided to change it up quite a bit and take it in a deep 120 BPM direction. I just reconstructed the notes by ear. I don't want to over-complicate this one. Just want it to be a departure from the original, while keeping the lead melody/bass nearly the same, as I think is best with classic songs. Feedback is appreciate and I would be interested to hear if anyone knows the original
