Hey, I made this remix of Porter's classic yesterday while being unable to sleep.
Feedback would be truly appreciated!

Cool remix, man! i like that you're going a different style from the track, but still manages to uphold the essence of the original track. Cheeky with the Navi'i sample as well.

I think I would enjoy this more with a more driven kick pattern, it's hard to tell, is it arranged in 1/16th notes at times? Those moments muddy up the lowend and there's not much to keep my ears on the beat. That said - it's pretty minor, but I think the kick pattern could be made a little simpler and more effective in places.
Did you get the acapella from somewhere or did you use vocaloid? I like the style you're going for in this one

First off: Navi sample = WHY?!
Other than that, this is pretty cool. I think a louder/more prominent bassline would fill it out and make it sound a lot more powerful. I also think the vocals in the drop could be louder because they kind of sit behind everything
I agree with Epiccycle on the kick, and I also feel like it could be punchier to add more weight to the mix.

I think the ideas in this are very cool but the mix is not the best. I feel like the mids were scooped out of those supersaws. Im digging what your arrangements of the kicks however they're too 'thumpy' and gets very muddy imo. I think simpling it down to getting cleaner sounds is the way to go. The saws are overly detuned.
Hope this helps

I agree with all said above, and I wanted to add that the intro with just the vocal sounds empty, you should add some FX (distorsion, reverb, delay etc) to make it interesting.

I believe in sidechain

It felt like the sidechain wasn't following the kick at all times, so it kind of muddied it up. I like the minimal idea of the song, but I think it get's pretty empty at times.
Love the idea though.
