Thanks man thats both discouraging and uninformative.

I've been meaning to share this with the community here for a while. This is my first track I've felt had professional level ideas, even if the engineering isn't quite there yet. Let me know any critique in sound design, mastering or composition. Also if anybody here writes similar music + techno I'd love to pass ideas back and forth.

The musicality of the track was really good, however it was ultra generic, I've heard all of those sounds from other Wave Racer tracks. That being said it was super good generic, the kind that blows up during a big genre phase. The vocal sample doesn't match the rest of the track, and you might wanna take it out and market the song as "future bass" to reach a more appropriate audience.

First off, the names are pretty unappealing. I guess if you want the EP to come off as a meme turned music project thats you.

Positive:

The horn layer added at the end of cinematic is a nice touch and sounds good.
The first two bars of the first drop on swag is creative and good, however once the vocal chops come in things get chaotic which leads us to

Negative:

The mixing throughout both tracks could be improved. The percussion slams through the mix and overshadows the rest of the track, especially during quiet segments. Gets your best headphones and try mixing it down to get your levels where you want them.

Something I've noticed about good progressive house is that it's super hard to get attention for. Eric Prydz makes good music, as do Jeremy and Fehrplay but other than the super stars there isn't a super big media presence. I love the track Colonia, very Pryda and very good honestly. I know a ton of Eric fans that would appreciate it, you've just got to find the right crowd.

Critique:

For a 9 minute track, I think the progression should have been a bit more pronounced. There were only a few differences between the first and second builds / drops and I think you could definitely add "that last piece" to make it an even better track.

Keep up the good work, don't change your sound for popularity!
