[Uplifting House] Vinterprojekt | Need help on song structure!

Unsure which part of this to keep, the drop or the buildup. They feel kind of distant.. Unsure what to do with it, or if i should ditch it and move on with a new project. And if i keep it, i don't know what kind of song it should be

What do you guys think? Any feedback is highly appreciated

UPDATE:

Getting really sick of the song, just wanna get done with it and move on... q.q Right now i'd really appreciate tips on song structure, haven't started the mastering yet

the drop sounds really distant bc you have a ton of white noise and it's masking everything else. reel that in. other than that it seems like a pretty typical steve aoki type track, albeit with more bass. keep it, just A/B it to something similar and work on tightening the mixdown.

I think the drop sounded pretty unique, liked it a lot. But it sounds, don't know how to put it, unclear.

I really like the drop. I feel like if you can make it sound cleaner (get rid of the white noise) and a little more condensed it would work really well.

I think sidechaining that white noise with a longer release would work better here.

Thanks guys! I'll get to it

Took your feedback into account, but it turned out quite different and needs a lot of work (especially last part of buildup). It's not at all as party as I'd like to be. Any ideas how to make it more "dancey"? Higher bpm? Better bass(feeling that the bass is kind off right now)?

Making your kicks more punchy is a good start. Try layering different kicks and play with their EQs. The snare you have sounds too much like a soft clap imo, you could try putting a little reverb on it to lengthen the tail, or try reversing it so it swells into a snare drum.

Raising the bpm could also maybe work, not sure where you have it at right now. Anywhere from 128-130bpm is the standard for big room house tracks

I recommend watching the air night tutorials on youtube, helped me a lot to see how the track and structure of the track flows
