Hey guys
Been a while since ive had much free time for producing for a while, found some time this weekend so threw together a new track, just finished some touches this evening. Im really pleased with it now, so giving it out for download. As usual, comments/crits appreciated, only way to improve :P
Anyway, ive uploaded a 160kbps mp3, ill send out 320s to anyone interested (pm me) but I may end up sending this to labels after a little more work depending on feedback I get so haven't uploaded it yet.
* DOWNLOAD HERE *
Cheers and enjoy,

| productions sound good. bass line could maybe use a little more dirty drive, some warmth. my only main criticism would be the chosen note/chord progression for what I think is the obvious, but then again what music would exist without some kind of influence. |

Cheers mate, yeah I wasn't particularly going for a hugely original track, spent most my time trying to get the texture of the track right. Anyway, uploaded an updated file with a warmer bassline, and quite a few new changes.
Cheers,

I think this is very good, the only thing i think could be better would be the overall strength of your builds/breaks. But it flows so well, i just think the ups and downs could be more dynamic, more dramatic, but that could make the song too theatrical...
The layering/chosen synth is great... this was influential my friend, you have mused me.
you know what its missing?
VOCALS! Know a hot chick that can sing? |

| Not a bad track. The chord prog is pretty basic...but the overall production is high, so i guess it doesnt matter that much. The kandi kids will for sure like this tune, its got that breakdown, hands in the air kinda breakdown. Not really my kind of music...But you did it well so ill just say nice job. |

| Really nice and mellow. I like the breakdown of the tune. The overall mixing sounds good although I'm missing a bit of energy at the high end, about 12k and above, which makes it sound a bit dull. A bit of EQ gave it more air for me. Overall a good job! |

Hey guys, thanks very much for all the useful comments!
After around 3 hours of trying to deal with what i've just been told is a major phone line fault, i managed to uploaded a new version, thanks to my neighbors unsecured wifi :D, with quite a few new changes based off the feedback i got:
Better eqing - more highs
more variation in percs
loads of other stuff that i cba to put :P
The original link has been updated. Cheers!

Despite my original post to this, I feel the productions and ideas of this track have potential as this track is a real upper. Now on to the criticism:
- you've got to much highs going on now, makes it sound brighter, but is a bit exhausting on the ears unless I myself put a shelf on the highs.
- the panned percs really sound nice, but they're drowning the rest of your instruments, perhaps a retake on the mixdown - just slight reduction of the percs levels, and slight reduction in the highs, not too much though as you will lose the point of your edit based on feedback.
- with as much that you have going on in the song, I feel the introduction lacks build, and based too much on repetition for too long of a time. You have plenty of those transitional elements to each measure, but since it really doesn't introduce anything new, it seems redundant....of course this wouldn't matter much in a quick mix from a previous song, but if it is a more progressive, transitional mix, could definitely use better introductory elements to build up to baseline and main course.
- good job on the elements and creativity, would undoubtedly like to hear another revision
