Can't say if the bongos are to loud or not, sounds good to me. I like how the tension build before the drop and the drop is good. I don't like that sound playing over the bass though. Maybe you could try something different, or maybe it's just me and you should stick with it.

I agree about the kick not working perfectly with the bass. On its own it sounds good but when the bass comes in they don't gel together. The FX and atmosphere is nice.
It's not at all bad though. Hard to say anything more with so little.

Deepgroovy: The closed hat is very loud and hard on the ears. In fact all drums seems to be to loud to me. The rest is good I think.
The other one is not for me so will not commentate on that.

Welp...decided to take a stab at a Remix contest which I have only done once before in the past.
This is a WIP I am having alot of fun with and was curious for some feedback.
A couple of notes:
1: Curious on your thoughts with this. I have known the technique for years but never attempted it as really this is only my second song using vocals. It's ghosting. I have always loved the method but learned last night how to do it on ableton (I was like a kid in a candy store) but feel that I may be over using it.
2: I am also wondering if I need more..."punch". The track I am sure will have more once a proper mixdown happens but think it needs...something.
3: The drop....I like how the risers mix in but it has a lax luster feel to it when the drop occurs.
Thanks for anyone taking the time to critique this...really appreciate it :)

thanks

up to the break is a bit static, could use some hats or something to get a groove going...

Sounds pretty good, I think a problem stems from your kick and outwards, after you get your solid kick done the rest should follow.

Nice feel to the intro although I would maybe suggest something like an arp joining in towards the end of the intro - about 32 bars long so it's not just a stock standard 8 bar arp loop.
I like the risers too.
Like you say the drop is lacking somehow. Always difficult to pull off a good drop. The hats there are a bit clumsy sounding - re - do them. What I think could work would be some sort of synth riff with a lot of attacky impact - a bit like 'Can't get no sleep' by Faithless?
Keep up the good work.

Thanks you guys for the responses and feedback. Always take it to heart.
Still working on it...

Just some I started yesterday. Someone came to me for a remix, I would usually decline and given the track was pretty poor, whatever doe. Still dont know what im gonna do with it.
