Yeah, clap seems a little loud. It tends to be the focal point for my ears which is probably not the best.
Some cool sounds in here though, it's just that some of the percussion is drowning them out a bit. Melody/lead in the breakdown sounds cool by itself. Song is pretty cool, but maybe work on the build up a little, like cutting the melody in half, then in quarters, etc so that when it comes out, there is a bit more energy.

clap updated. tell me what you think. im still not so sure
I think what its missing is some vcal sample of someone whisperin something or something like that. With loads of reverd and i dunno, multitap delay put onto it.
That crazy-ass synth that goes all over the scale sounds like it's gone through a particularly agressive LP filter...or a radio station's equalizer.
Clap still taking the forefront. I don't think it's so much a problem with it being too loud in itself, as it is a problem with it being too loud in relation to the other elements. Give your synths some more upper presence and see what happens.
Hrmm, melody starting at 3:26 sounds really familiar. Maybe it's just a commonly used chord progression.
High-frequency percussive voices need more presence.
I really liked this, it makes me think of what Dreamtheater would sound like if they went completely electronic.

Yeah. The clap is still being a bitch. Thanks for the feedback man!
Weeelll it's certain to me da clap is too much clap! Rest of percs is a bit end 90s clubby to me, which is not a negative comment. The filtered guitar-like sound reminds me of the ones phats & small sometimes use (got the previous album and they use this kind of sounds a lot, but then in a more groovy way). It doesn't fit with the more trancy synths you use later, IMO. The lead which i hear now is hard to follow... chords stay longer than they should for my feeling (so that might be personal, i'm not an expert).
Overall, I don't think i've ever heard something like this. Don't know if it's my taste.. Productionwise it's ok!
And the title, emmmm... well it has some groovy and techy in it, why not something like "Groove Teqnician" or so.... I really don't know actually
