Because of the cut off envelope on the bass which has a slow attack the bass comes a tad too late on the drums. Drums could use some filth (hi passed amen, rides, ...) Not bad!

That stabby synth starting in the intro needs to come down to a lower volume. It also sounds quite full in the bass range and I would cut frequencies below 250hz. I would turn the bass up at least 2db. Maybe double the bass up and have a more audible mid-range and then a lower subbier version punching out between 60 and 80hz. Those hats are also very harsh on the ear. I would roll off frequencies above 18khz and bring them down a tad. Also, kick louder, snare louder, delay fx louder. Try layering your percussion with some more natural sounding instruments, like real hi-hat/ride, but not too loud. Remember the elements the you want to stand out are the kick, snare and bass. If your tune doesn't sound good with just those three playing, then there is something wrong with the tune. Lots of work to do! Good luck. Pace out.

Yeah. I've quit my job to do this full time and have a full studio setup in my house. I was listening on some Dynaudio BM5A's and also with Sennheiser headphones. By 'stabby synth' I meant the main musical sound you have right from the start. Maybe compressing it further would be better. I would probably add a very slight delay as well to give it a bit of moverment. All the best, Pace.

This is some realy fucked up jumpup, very creative, good mastering, but too happy for me haha, but still like it man, i would dance to it for sure
Good mix, good jumpy feeling, dont realy like when the 'theme' changes around 1;22 wasnt necessary
