I especially like that little metallic percussion, reminds me of Deadmau5. Mix seems spot on to me.
I have, after several years, started to make a trance track.
Unsurprisingly it sounds like it's from several years ago....
Dig this. Very old school progressive tonality.
Vocals are very apparent to me, maybe just a tad bit loud. Maybe its me.
Liked that hip hop break beat at :25 =OP
Sounds very clean in production. But you have always had that down.
Is it completed?
----------------------------------
Don't know what to call it but for some reason I couldn't put it down.
This is my very first track without the use of any sample. Kind of proud of myself but I am still a noob at sound design and learning.
Production seems "ok", however this is post and haven't mixed but rather mixed as I went.
Any suggestions in any area?

I would strongly recommend to work on your drums part as so far is not driving this track the way it should - melody vise this WIP is really sweet but without drive from your drums this will not create enough impact on listener. Definitely worth of finish it.
My $0.02 (btw this melodic line is familiar with me some how).

Darek,
Always value your opinion. And yep...I agree, listened in the truck today and was underwhelmed and noticed right off that the percussion group was low in volume.
I am curious if you guys had any feedback on my dumb ass drop at the 1:22 mark. Personally, it is the one thing I keep going back to as it is very noticeable. I had a hard time coming up with something on that drop and I dont think I remedied it with what I have

@ 1.21 I'd suggest bigger drums coming through and some sort of vocal sample - like a single female sung word or two - or do it yourself with heavy processing
The synths are real nice, just need a bit more unique personality injected such as the vocal and drums I mention

I would suggest to rework your drums (or bring them upfront) first and upload your WIP again as right now it is really hard for me to get any idea on how to deal with this drop ---> but I think you could add more tension in pre-stage part (from 0:54) of your drop (like more raisers and even some with heavy sidechain on them).
