Pleasantly surprised, lots of great elements here, the backing chords are original and well mixed from what I can tell.  I think after you throw a master on it with proper multiband compression and maybe an exciter element, and mess with stereo seperation/imaging a little more, this will sound huge.  Kick could use a little more in the 80-100 HZ area I think, and maybe less mid in them?  ALSO the big chords coming in halfway through the tune are WAY too loud in comparison.  I totally get you want that to be huge but they highs are overwhelming at least, maybe just some softer compression there or balancing it out with automation of EQ throughout the whole song.  If the actual drops were that big in the waveform and fit in a nice mix then I would be blown away. 

Overall great work dude.  Keep at it!

Thank you so much! awesome advice. yeah those chords weren't supposed to sound that big, i accidentally turned up the gain automation way to much on the chords at one point. Im glad you like it so far:)

I would say future bass. its kinda messy but i really like the ideas!

Thoughts on this? I've never really gone this direction with music before. Way more relaxed than usual.

i dont think its cheesy at all! I love it actually. the mix is super clean, especially for having such complex chops and what not. could use a bit of low end imo though. i really like the track and idea as a whole!

i would make a difference progression with the plucks, just to give it more of  groove. I love the melodies and chords though! 

Wanna know what i find fishy? The fact that the person who won the hardwell contest already had a few tracks of his played out by hardwell, and one signed to his label. I've seen a few established artist claim that the remix contests are often rigged, which I have a feeling stays true with this contest.

thanks guys!
