I managed to grab some rare time on my computer today and started another wip that I'll never finish
cheers for the comments matey - I'm putting together a remix pack for first class, so might have to try your structural advice!
you track has a good energy to it, the basses are working well, I might add a tyas style offbeat sub to keep the energy from the kick going.
hard to tell as it's such a short clip and stops just when I wanted it to evolve! - ping me when you add more

Really nice track, good mix, enjoyed from start to finish and the style really aint my thing either so well done!
The track sounds great and the mixing is fine but there is something about the piano I'm not feeling? Also I'm not so sure on the arrangement. 3min mark should be your intro. From the break down you have, you expect more when it kicks in at 3 mins and that bassline just isn't enough imo. I would re arrange it from the 3min mark and take what you have to the break if you get me?

the progression is nice on this, uplifting feel but im not sure if the bassline fits with it?

optik - First Class. Probably late to the party, as you said it's the final release. Essentially first minute and a half needs another lead on top of your arp-lead-whatever. Or some other musical content, vocals, whatever. Otherwise just boring. Good mix. Would personally layer piano with a synth lead and fade out at some point, sounds too wimpy on its own imo for aggressive track like this.
Here's the track I've been writing. Personally think it's fucking fantastic but judging own stuff objectively is impossible. Come on, tear it a new arsehole
Lovely track - personal preference for me would be a more sustained type of bassline rather than the individual notes that you currently have, something similar to what optik was saying that it doesnt groove that well for me, my 2c

heres another non-techno one, im not sure if i have cut too much mid from the lead synths?? thoughts?
loving this - delicious feel to it. breakdown would kill a dancefloor but I love it for radio etc. I'd cut it right down and get back to that beat right away.
I'm sitting in the palms in ibiza at 7am on monday morning.
very nice - how are you doing your percs?

In what way, the pattern? Or is it the uplifting pluck that don't match the bassline ??

Its sounds fine, well balanced and nice groove. Vocals sit very nicely... On saying that would like to hear another take though with more mids to give a definitive answer.

@evo8: Agreeing with this. Great snippet you have there.
@optik: The theme doesn't really work for me. It feels too generic. The mixdown needs a lot of attention. The kick feels way too oldschool for the rest, I miss a lot of separation between sounds in the high end, it's one big mush.
If less is more think about how much more more would be.

thanks, i might do another version with more mids but maybe im at risk of tinkering too much
re your track, not the pattern per se, just the notes...the bassline to me sounds dark whereas the pluck part isnt, not sure if you would agree with that but thats whats not sitting right with me!
