Nice pads in the beginning. What did you use to get those sounds? I've tried so hard to get that type of effect.
You kind of threw me off when the kick comes in. Kind of sudden change from the atmospheric intro. Percussion could use some more fill.
Bleeps and square sounds keep the song interesting. Lots of rich sounds here. I'm not a fan of the snare. Maybe cut out the lows so it doesn't sound too kicky? I don't like that tine that comes in at 3. Sounds like a game synth.
Those are just some of my comments. Hope they help. Overall, it's a cool song. What stood out the most were the pads.

Pads originate from Sytrus and are high-passed... plus there is some white-noise on top of some of the track with a phaser and side-chained to the kick (but not when the pads are playing by themselves).
Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for the listen.

such a beautiful intro there! some great ideas in this.
some layers i'm diggin more than others though for sure.
the percussion needs much improving,
but the lush pad sounds (that come in at around 1:52) i think are brilliant! fell in love with those.
groovy video game synth you got going there. i think though the bassline definently needs to go in more places, change notes/progressions.
got a very classic sound that i'm loving.
hoping to here any changes you make to this real soon
cheers, louis.

I thought about that, but I did that kinda intentionally. I was trying to see how far I could go on this track without really changing the chord progression and without having any real breakdowns, just driving on and on... to see if I could still maintain interest.
Thanks for listening!

comments as I go:
Intro is awesome, love the effects and the pad.
Wow that beat hit me pretty hard lol, kinda came from nowhere.
Bassline is great though.
Love the synths in this.
I think the percs could use something (i'm not sure what, they just sound strange with the rest)
can you please make a summery chill out mix with that beautiful intro pad and a deep bassline?
gorgeous sound. I think the intro is too short
the rest of the track is quality. I am always one for intense, non stop dancing tracks, but in this case I feel like your bassline and percline is far too repetitive and you could use some rhythmic variation to create 'zones' within the track or add and remove layers every once in a while to create some more dynamic. you're trying to do it all with the melody, but i don't think that's enough. you have such great sounds in the rest of the track but i feel the percline was simply left as simple as possible. perhaps you did not want to compete with the melodic stuff, i don't know

Update: I have removed the download link for this track, as it may be getting signed!
The label liked it but felt that it may not be strong enough to hold on its own, so one of their artists are remixing the track as well.
I will try and re-upload a sample of the track, but keeping the full up seemed like a bad idea. Updates soon.
