I like it, sounds very airwavish. Good work.

like all the changes dude esp the intro bass-line & the subtler fx. always liked the break

This could be very, very good. But hey, where's the kick? Sounds more like someone tapping on the window. When the claps come in, it's bye-bye kick altogether.

Remember, kick and bass need to be compressed/limited together.

Fix these basic mix issues and you've got a great track.

Great tune mate, I reckon this would completley rip up the dancefloor. The melody is of the kind that goes round and round in your head, very trancey indeed The breakdown is very sweet, the strings are perfect and when they hit that high note it's very emotional.
Production quality is very good, although there are one or two things you can try fixing up.
Firstly the hats sound very bright and cut through the mix a lot; take the edge off them with EQ or turn them down ever so slightly.
Also, and I don't know if this is on purpose or not - but the strings in the breakdown and the melody synth that comes in just afterwards are out of tune with respect to each other - at 3:48 the melody synth sounds flat. Still undecided as to whether I like it as an effect or not
Overall great tune man, would love to hear this played in a club very soon

Yeah, I have to agree with the kick comment...its literally non-existent. There seems to be a void in the low-mid range sound spectrum...it would be nice to have a pad or something to fill the space. The break is okay. Maybe I'm just over critical today, but I don't find too much special about the melody. The filter work seems a tad overdone too. The arrangement is good and the elements you use for FX /percs work well but overall this song could be better.
