I like what you've got but I did notice some of the chords, on the first break, seemed like the notes played in sympathetic keys not directly related to the primary key of the piece. If that's intentional, don't mind me. I'll just slip away, but I thought it worth mentioning, none-the-less. At worst, it feels a bit cluttered but the other side of the coin is that I think it could be finessed to create the right tension release when the song dips into its second movement - which, on first impressions, seems pretty spot on.
Very pretty piece, overall, with a more robust melodic structure than previous works - not to detract from those, at all. This one just has a nice balance of rhythm and melody and I'm quite looking forward to a finished product with it.

not a big fan of the trancy chords, but whrn the beat kicks in again it has a pretty nice groove tyo it. cant say much about the production quality since im on sucky speakers, but it sounds pretty nice.. hihats may be a tad too loud?
and the break at 4 point mark was kinda sudden... try some white noise or something before it...

Powerful beats, as expected. It's been a joy hearing you improve since you began posting tunes.
I don't have any problems with the track other than I can't seem to be able to give constructive feedback to it, or any of your work for that matter. My ears aren't geared for nitpicking, and definitely not within dance music.
So I tend to run through your tracks a few times and usually conclude with a positive comment. This is no exception, I like what you do and will continue to listen old bean

The opening bass sounds something exactly from michael woods.
I'd try to change it up a bit from that.
Up until 4:45 it's actually not too messy, but all the elements coming in after that makes for a messy mix.
I also feel there's quite a lot of phasing on the low end, so you'd might want to check that out
Otherwise, the quality of the production is not bad so far

sounds like the kinda track djs that play way too late tend to play that make you just go home despite the drugs still lurking in your system. Not sure if people do it on purpose but this track fits into that category. 3 of these in a row and i will assume they need the room cleared and I might as well just go home.

It sounds like you sampled Michael Woods - Dynamik:
Maybe you should try making your own drums?

Also, it sounds like you're trying to combine Michael Woods, Deadmau5, and a handful of weird sounds into a track. It isn't working. I'd suggest trying to develop your own style rather than make something that sounds like a bad version of stuff that was trendy 1-2 years ago.

Not that he can't defend himself, but this comment is out of line. It's a WIP and your comment is less aimed at how he can improve it and more about being a douchebag without so-much as having douchebag credibility.

my douche bag cred is flawless. A make Affleck look like a nun. I once grabbed a girl and tied her hands and like I had a mask on and glasses and as I took my glasses off, I said , aww no, you put your life on the line risking so much and you end up nabbing a sea cow. I decided to never force my self on anyone ever again at night.

You'll note, I'm not taking issue with your "DJ you-don't-have-to-go-home-but-you-can't-stay-here track" estimation. But then you and Mr. Butler also have a history.

First turn the master volume down because you don't want to be clipping the output.
Second I'm not too clear where you want me to test the mixdown, or at least what you think needs work or what you're willing to change. Overall the sound is very muddy. You'll need to do a whole lot of EQ work but it's hard to say where to start - please turn the master volume down for starters!
