wow, really like that track. Only much too long the track. Would work better if you shortened it out. But you could also just make a short version and let this be the xxl intro cut :-)

Thanks for listening to it. The only reason why its that long is for the DJs... I do have a Radio Edit of the track.
Lenght to me right now is not an issue...

Hi Atomikk Pulse, had a listen and think the tune itself is very good, very promising, very catchy as well. I like it and I think it's got that something that makes it good - it has a nice hook.
Constructive criticism I would say is that the intro goes on too long. A long intro isn't necessarily a bad thing, but for ages it's the same stuff with no real fluctuation until about 1:50, which fair enough the DJ would be mixing, but generally there is a lot going on in this period even so.
I really like the background synth thing you have to fill the space in the breakdown - it's good and it makes me think what I should do for my current piece cos this is something I'm trying to do -fill it up properly. Only prob with it is that it makes it sound slightly out of time when it kicks back off.
That second riff is great, and when the two kick back off together it really works. As I say, I really like it, it gets me. Maybe look at the structure though, it doesn't feel right, y'know? Have another look at this, it doesn't seem to move much between the two breakdowns - really hard to describe what I mean.
One more thing, I think your carrying noises (the boops etc.) are a bit dominant, at least a bit more than they should be, so you may want to check the EQ on them.
But as I say, I really like this.
Take it easy!

Thanks for the comments, I truly appreciate them. The bold part you need to elaborate a bit more. Which boops do you mean? As for the intro...I donno.. i try to give enough time for the DJ to mix it in.. because once the bassline hits, the song has to be already mixed..that is the only reason why its that long.

Somewhere between 3:13 and 3:30 , I think you should start a different melodious synth. May be some vocals with reverb/echo will do the trick (like in Airwave 2003 - Breathing). I like the synth which starts after 5:01. Listen to the song "People can Fly" by Astral Projection. In this song a different but very catchy melody starts after 2/3 of the song is over. You know what I mean.
Your song has a good structure, but in my opinion needs more layers. Overall good, can be made better. Let me know what you think.

Hey Atomikk, listening to this again, great tune!
By the carrying noise I meant that single "boop" that happens on the 2.4 and the 4.4 beat. Guess it's a matter of taste though, I'd personally reduce it a bit but then again it might work a storm in a club.
I like this tune a lot.

This is good... I really like the melody, and the drums are good. People are trying to sleep in my house so I can't really judge the bassline properly ;). I think it's... too simple. The build-up IMO is GOOD with respect to the carrying noises and complexity and stuff... but the climax lets you down with it's simplicity. Maybe you should add some carrying noises during the climax of the track... like all you have is the melody, a chordy-thing on the offbeats, and the bass. There are some empty spots in the spectrum between the bass and the melodic synth... they need to be filled with something... may I suggest a carrying melody centered around the dominant of the 3rd or 4th octave? Like... similar to the "boop" but perhaps a bit more consistent. Something to fill the void.
btw I REALLY like this melody. :D
