Hi there,

percussion is good, a lot of nice effects also! keeps it very alive

melody and synths could use some power and phatness

keep up the good work!

Yeah actually i was holding back the volume a little on the Synths and Main riff , fearing it would make the whole thing too busy ... but i'm going to get to it ...

anything on the bassline ? too loud in the mix ?

Beginning sounds quite ok, the idea of that panning is nice, but i think it's a bit too much... You don't need to pan that, just make it sound wide.

Then, it's very nice! Untill the bass comes in. I don't like it, it's a too standart trance-bass, and it's too loud imo.

At about 45 secs or something the kick lost too much of it's energy, I think because of the bass. Hmm, that tune is ok, but (also for the synth) it a bit standart.

The climax is not that smashing.. Not special either. I'm sorry, I expected it would be a great track, but when the bass comes in, it's noting special anymore.
The leads could be a lot louder, and the bass a lot less louder.
Percussion is quite ok, but not very energic.

The rest is well produced.

Will try and fix it ...

Well, the percussion is good, the kick is good, it looks soo promesing! But unfortunately it went a different way, and it's starting to look like a standart-nothing-special-trance-track when the bass comes in. That about eh.. 20 secs or so I thought.

Good luck, I like Belgian artists like MIKE and Soulwax. :P

Very nice track, a lot of energy in it. Nice break, a bit sudden how it gets to the climax then, work on the build-up some more, but the melody of the climax is very cool and again has a lot of energy. I think if you improve the break a bit it should be a great trancer. -Ron

M.I.K.E ... of course he's the man! ... i'll take your advice and try to cook up a new bassline, and ill get that climax more uplifting ... thanks...

Yeah, you're right .. i just didn't notice when creating the track... too close hey... i'll extend it and creat a more flowing transition...

Thanks for the advice dude ...
