i like the drive! proper dry techno banger there.
the drop after the break is nice too.
mix wise i think theres something wrong with the lowend i think. the rumble seems to be muddy in the mix and it interferes somehow with the lead thingy. maybe the lead is to high, or the base too low, cant really say.
from the arrangement you could add a bit more variation on the highhats for example and the lead also seems as if it would stay the same
good track overall!

Yeah, second the comment about the drive and the energy.

Whoa, those stabs are a bit loud, they come in really unexpectedly loud.

Those percs that come in at 2 mins, sound a bit alien from the rest of the mix somehow, like they were 'stuck on' afterwards. I think it's the fact that they are quite low passed (or something), and that the rest of the mix is quite sharp. They need some more work. The fact that they don't evolve or change means that they get a bit irritating by 4.30. Maybe it's just an issue with the mix, as with the stabs.

If I turn the volume right down, I can hear the stabs and the percs, which suggest that the mix needs work, as I (apparently) should be hearing the kick last.

I'm really having a hard time not to read your posts in Bubbles' voice, does up the entertainment value though :v

What Jordanneke is referring to is a basic balancing trick, you don''t want to rip your listeners eardrums to shreds at higher volumes so it's more of practical suggestion than a taste thing. When you want things to cut through in a situation like this it's better to use other means than to crank up the volume on them.
Do like the groove you've built here, but I agree about those percs, sounds like they could do with a notch (or two), and maybe automate some reverb and a bit of filter movement.

All in all it's a cool track.

Yes, the lowend is too rumbl-y and the stabs are too loud. The whole mix is also a bit too aggressive for me ears, could use some gentle saturation and smoothing across the board.

nice one, i have lowered the stabs on the break down, had a little play, overall i am happy with the mix, i think thats just down to personal preference...

Cheers for the input y'all.

man, I really like his energy, only to the last thing I get a little monotonous: / I would add a lower one, but this track is going, I love it
