I wrote this entire song today because I've got cousins over and am stuck in the house, haha. It's for the best though because I needed a new Shadowdance track for my soon-to-be-online website and demo cd, and I got a couple other tracks mastered. I'll post them sometime this week probably.

Obviously the shadowdance project is turning a little bit more towards dream trance than progressive where it started, so this is the type of stuff I guess you can expect under this alias. Oldschool feel to the kick, bass, and percussion just because I like that sound, sometimes all these huge overcompressed kicks and mental percussion ruin the expressive human feel to the track. Anyways, all comments welcome. Enjoy.

PS: DJ's im holding onto this for right now until i've got my demo cd finished because im constantly adding to and changing my tracks so I'd rather wait until i'm sure they're all finished.

EDIT: Convinced myself to not be lazy and upload the updated sample with the fixed kick rolls.

Thanks for the comments guys. Updated the clip with a 192kbps sample. Also cleaned up the sound a bit, gave the breakbeats more structure, and various structural enhancements. Check it out again if you want.

Bottom end is soft yeah, track is meant to be floaty, not necessarily powerful.

sounds awesome man. love the piano melody, especially the sparadic chords, they sound great. i actually think it sounds a little out of tune, but i think that about every piano i hear, so i don't think that statement holds any weight anymore.

keep it up.

Thanks for the kind words all. I have massively updated this track. I don't think the oldschool sound fits in most sets these days so i updated it with more modern kick+bass, and i threw in a pad similar to that of Sublime because i love that synth sound. New sample up soon!

yeah really good track, it has very nice atmosphere melodies are good too but you should work at piano, it sounds weak with compare to other sounds you ve got but except that its amazing keep it up

crowdfunding for my new album on vinyl

it sounds great but i think in ur break section when the breakbeat comes in the snare is like soooooooooooooooo overpowered by the kick i cant even feel it hit, sounds like theres a guy playing a kick in ur face and the guy playing the snare is down the street
