Jan Johnston - Skydive (MX Remix)

Hello everyone, first time poster here.

Just thought I'd post up my remix of 'Skydive' for you all the critique. It's somewhat different to my usual style (i.e. *slightly* faster), but I've been exploring different scenes recently, and this is the result!

Any thoughts, flames etc, would be much appreciated! :D

on a technical level, its fairly good, don't have a lot of complaints there. the kicks/highhats might be a tad strong, then again it sort of works.

however, on a personal note, the vocals fit fine, but the lyrics themselves... hehe, they're so hurried up, they sort of lose their power as words creating a story. It's like doing your wedding vows in under 3 milliseconds (bad example but I'm tired). On the other hand, slowing them down would take them totally out of the song and fck it up.
The lyrics during the breakdown in the 5 min range work a bit better lyrically... one possible suggestion to explore was a breakdown I once heard in a trouser enthusiast remix of a track, the left out the vocals for the most part, when they did want them in they pitched it to match the track of course, and then they broke down the track in the middle to the original speed for a moment to give the lyrics justice..

but the last couple of paragraphs are just mumbo jumbo, overall it works, though its high 'raver' like quality isn't totally my taste, however i can't knock it just on like/dislikes when u r seeking more than just that.
