Progressive House track needs feedback

Hi guys, I just got done with a new track I've been working on. I was trying to go for a Kaskade/ Adam K and Soha kind of feel to it and came up with this. It might be a little repetitive, but that's progressive house for ya. Any feed back would be highly appreciated.

Yea I would LOVE vocals on this track but I cant sing, nor do I have the networking skills and resources in finding and recording vocals on the track.

Yea, you're definitely right about after the 2 minute mark. Without vocals it's kind of boring and plain. Thanks for the tips =)

You absolutely nailed the Deadmau5/Adam K & Soha sound with that rhythmic stabbing synth. Overall the track has a pretty polished sound.

Once you enter the breakdown/buildup, I think your lead synth needs a lot more automation - filter sweeps, effects, and so forth, because it does get a little long-winded during that part.

And +1 with the people who said it doesn't really develop after ~2:20. Maybe a few more subtle effects, or delay tricks...? I dunno - I just feel like it needs a little more to it.

good, very deadmau5

agree with vox comments above, but, perhaps even a synth line at least or a few bleaps like squares or something just to flatten it out.

Perhaps the percussion is a bit to complex in this piece? and a bit tlc on the eq / level over master side of things will really bring this track out.

Arrangement is great and love the main synth. Thumbs up and good work keep it up

Thanks for the suggestions and comments guys, I'll definitely work on the automation and effects at the end of the peak after 2mins.

I really like what happens a little after 1:00. I'd like to hear more of that <3

nice work bro, sounds pretty mellow, the track goes for a good way

Thanks for the comments and reply guys, I cant describe how much it really helps me as a new producer. I'll revise and possibly send the track out to some desperate labels after my finals (school sucks, I want to be famous already...lol. yea right.)

Once again, thanks for your time and ears =),
