I hear it here man!

sounds good man, the "future deep house" things when you put here its cool ^^

but the deadline for this remix is tomorrow right?

if you can, work more on the drop, I felt a little lack of energy in the drop, maybe if you put some news elements on the drop can fix it but, you have to review all you song if you add something new, the drop is the same thing of the intro, is really cool but you need to do something diferent, for the music not to be cloying!

Just keep working and just finish this song ^^

Personally I would go for a little more high end in the mix, that could just be soundcloud though.

Music is so subjective, I really can't tell you much besides what I would do, which is based completely on my taste.

This track has a lot of cool moments, and some moments that feel like filler. I think the track could be half as long, and possibly twice as effective. Dance music doesn't lend itself well to 6 minute songs without a lot of variation. I would try and pick out the most emotionally charged sections and piece them together much shorter. My stance on effective songwriting: Its better for the listener to want more, than to have too much. Thats kinda why 26 song albums don't do amazing (generally).

Also, I would add more rhythmic and harmonic variations during the drop. That just where my ear goes, what I feel like should be there when I listen. This is a good example of what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu7SSzQRoz8 Skrillex is great at variations and fills during his drops.

Good luck!

Holy Cow... Thank you all for the amazing support and advice! It really means a lot to me that people are actually willing to give me feedback on this random track as opposed to just ignoring another random thread in WIP section <3

I agree with alot of previous posters, it could use some shortening!

The bass became kind of repetitive now since it's rather long. Now I can't really tell you how to fix it, since i don't know how to, but the drop felt somewhat underwhelming.

I think that if you take only the parts of the song you really 100% like, remove the rest, reduce it to about 3-4 min, you'll have a banger!
I would write something here, but I'm too lazy to do so

tight track man, love the future housey bass sound, you've got good groove in the track and some nice sections, I'm gonna echo what the others said though and say shorten it up a bit and excite the highs in the mix! Also I feel like the vocal is a bit too loud in the drop, and it doesn't really hit as hard as it could i feel. but yeah sweet remix dude, never heard the original till now either and im in love with it now haha

what really sticks out to me is how your main lead sound gets kinda lost in the mix when it drops, i believe its due to too much reverb on the effects/vocals and phasing from the effects with your main lead noise, I would try to do some more eq adjustments and definitely try to do some panning on your drums the sit dead center in the mix.

 I find that it helps alot when you nudge certain things to the left and right a little bit. Also try eqing away conflicting frequencies where your clap sits cause it feels like it gets lost at times. especially on my studio monitors.

the white noise/shakers could also do a lot better with some more groove/possibly different samples. they come across pretty clear but kind of sound weak. Something that might help would be to apply some saturation/distortion to them. if the vocals already have too much reverb you can always try to apply a gate effect with a low threshold to try and tame it.

Your idea is great but i think you might to need to spend more than today on it to get it up to standard quality, but please by all means prove me wrong.

good luck!

I would agree with Deno that your melody gets a little lost when it drops. The switch up with the lone kick makes a cool transition and I like the keys but would suggest maybe a higher gain and a little attack.

Good luck in the competition! I have an entry as well if you want to check it out.

Track's really good, but I gotta say, hats are just plain bad. Take a reference track and get some hats based around that(Any CID song should work), otherwise I really like it!

Good luck on the contest!
