Excellent sounds and great arrangement with some really nice touches (breakbeat cutop, turn arounds and flow) though the mix is more than a little off.

You mention you need to check on Speakers.. What Kind of HPs you using?

Judging by the mix they're light in the bass an overly bright as you mix is bass heavy, and dull (not much HF).

As for some direct pointers on the mix. The staccato lead line that comes in before the beats in the drop is too quiet relative to the beats. The line that comes in after the snare roll could be brighter, and your kick is weak relative to the bass.

Fixing these things is not a simple matter of just turning up levels on them as it will affect the whole balance of the mix in the drops etc. There's actually a lot more adrift in the mix too but this should get you started.

Work on the mix a ton, the rest is great.

Oh, and the main lead isn't too hard.. ;-)

Thanks man !! Im using a shitty USB HP atm bcoz i forgot my other ones at a party! Yea really need to buy me new speakers .. my Mix quality suxx really bad with this fucked up HP and Speakers ... Ill work on the things you mentioned above ...

SOrry for my bad english eheh

LOl return of the old style hard trance bass, very nice! I like what you've done here, this track combines a hard beat + bassline with some nice melodic synths. I dont like all the usual hardstyle rubbish, but this track is quite unique.

1.50 - 2.02 this sounds a bit messy, i think its just that low synth, maybe too much distortion but I dont know how you made this bit so cant really recommend anything. If you can clean that up a bit I reckon you would have a stonking track.

When that beat comes back in after the breakdown, the melody is really kicking off here and i love it! Can I have a full version of this to spin when you've finished?
