New Track.... Need advice

Hey Guys! (or are there any girls here??)
I'm dicking around with this track and I'm trying to make it interesting without putting too much in...

Do you think this track needs another/different melody/riff or maybe just 'bells and whistles'? Or maybe you have some other idea???
Any comment is appreciated!!

Anyways, here's the track:

Thanks!

This sounds just great. The mainbassline rocks.
I think the track needs a bit more uplifting melody before in the "release".

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I'm glad you like it
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'before in the "release"'. Could you be more specific?

Thank you again!

Sorry I was in a hurry when I listened to your track and wrote my comment. I wrote some text and erased it later, but by accident didn't erase the word "before" But what I meant that during the breakdown around 2:40 you could introduce some elements of another melody and maybe explode the song with that melody after the release around 3:10.

Of course this is only my vision of how it could go. Dunno if it would work but hey the song sounds great already!

i would side the bass to the kick if i were you there are some clashes, also i dont feel the kick in the sub bass frequencies... all sounds nicely put but that kick is messing my experience... i feel like there is a mess at 3:10 everything wants to be upfront and its kinda messy there, try focusing on one thing or even two...

a nice put track, i liked the bass the most, more originality could be put in the melody and sounds of leads etc.

Thank you for pointing that out.
I didn't spend too much time on the kick and I guess it shows
I will try to EQ everything a little better.
As for the mess at 3:10 I will have to look into that but that's a good point.
Thanks again for taking time to check out this track.
BTW, I really enjoyed 'Abrupt Interrupt'. I think that's what you meant by a good kick

it was the one that fit at that moment, i could have just as easily put a different kick it depends on the state of mind but i think its important to make it best fitted to your track...

I have one more question. What style would you say this track falls into? I mean as far as beatport categories go??

i would say lower the bass a bit at the start (up to 1.50min) its big but stands out a bit too much. the tracks ok but needs a change by the 4 minute mark.
