Just finished this tonight. What label do you think would be receptive to this track? Very curious as to you guys thoughts. I've asked a few people and gotten vastly different recommendations.
The lead is too trancey for Toolroom I'm sure, it almost reminded me of ASOT, just take the mastering off, labels have in-house mastering a lot of the time. I like the track and how much work you put into it, but I think the breakdown should be much more memorable if you intend on releasing it on a major label.

I went back and tweaked the compression to be less intrusive. I did plan on having it professionally mastered once I was satisfied with the final version though. (havent uploaded the new one to SC yet though)
You think I should just make the break more complex? or just put more automations and craziness on it to build more tension? maybe a subtle drum roll and some phasing/filtering etc etc. or maybe a little teaser of the lead with some kick stabs behind it.... I see what you're saying though, could use some more umph
