nice track.. i like the idea behind the whole melody

percussion is a bit weak tho i think.. maybe get a better kick drum going to give it more of a punch.. and maybe add some more depth to the synths

very good tho

very nice melody

id have to agree with the fella up there ^ on the kick and percs
definatly need a stronger new kick
the clap i like, very oldschool
bass is good, could make it sharper a little, it sounds too fruity loops ish
also id say add some more fx, fx always help

synth is good, nothing more to say

overall this could be a killer tune, try fixing it up and for sure itll be good.
just a matter of mastering

keep it up

Production: 7/10 The bass drum should need a bit of ooomph. The quality of the mp3 file is crappy, but you already told us that. I assume with a better sounding mp3 file it would sound much better.
Style: 8/10 I like what you have here. I would perfer a bit more moving bassline, and a better bass drum..but that is it.
Melody: 9/10 the melody is bad ass, i love it.. it really surprised me. I didnt expect it to be that good.
Playability Factor: 8/10 I would definitely play this in the middle of my set, it has anthem pontential. Good work.

I feel that your bassline is too prominent. What I mean is, it takes up a lot of frequency, without being varied enough. It's like one voice that seems to have very little fluctuation in volume or length, and may even have some FX on it. Consequently it is very noticable and seems to lack a human like feel to it. That's the first thing I notice.

Beyond this, the melody is nice, chords are good, bass fits well in the mix and all that. Pretty good really, just that thing I was saying before.

Well done, no it's not crap, down with the harsh internal critic in all of us!
