Not a bad kick sample, but I would shorten it up some with either some compression work, or just lessen the "out" on the tail end of the sample. I really like when the snare comes in at 0:32, it's a good sample and gives the loop that extra 'pop' that progressive house/minimal tracks are known for.

Really like the bass that comes in at 1:04, though I would lay off that ride hat playing over and over again. I think it gets in the way of the other elements, and takes away some from the mix in general.

I wasn't expecting such an industrial feel, but I really like the direction you took with this track. It is very old-mau5, and I think it's mixed pretty well. Work on bringing out those synths more - other than the fact that they were subdued a bit in the mix, I liked them quite a bit. The industrial vibe was unique and worked well with the percussion!

totally got hat you meant about the ride, when i uploaded it here i was working on it before checking back and that was one of the first things i took out. it was clashing to much. had it kinda fixed with a midi velocity plug but took it out for now in this version. still working on the mixing part now but think this is roughly a complete track minus some minor tweaks and FX here and there. let me know what you think  ;D thanks for the feedback homie

Kind of the final mix
