exellent intro just plain solid. once the b line comes on it starts to feel a bit slow. if you add more punch to you kick drums it might help. you got a a solid foundation to go from but it needs a little more to take it to the dancefloor. i bit of sub action wouldnt hurt either.
good work and keep em comin

yeah I think you clicked on 'write review' in the 'review needed' box on the front page 
That adds the review to the track that is mentioned in the box! I fixed it for you 
Review:
Like Diskyze said this is more like a preview than a finished track. Soundwise everything is well polished, but there are only a few melodic elements in the track. Basically you do have a lot of sounds, but they all play the same melody in turn, which makes the whole a bit boring. You could do much more with this track if you just make different melodies with the sounds you have now.
Now that I listen more closely I notice that a lot of work actually went into the sound design, all sounds are really well made and have distinct characters. It's just that they all play the same melody... 
Drums sound nice, good effects on them too (filtering etc) and good programming!

Good drums. They kick nicely, are clean and tight.
Vocal was a bit too loud.
Basslines and stuff are nice, but you need a sub man, now it sounds so empty.
The problem is indeed that it is the same the whole time. A lot of switching of drums and basslines, but it's essenially all the same.
Try bringing in a breakdown with other elements somewhere halfway (those pads from the intro?) WITHOUT the basslines. This will give your track more the feel of having more variation. Now it just goes on and on.
So work on it some more, thisone surely has potential!
2.75/5

nice chilly pads. bass souds bit lo fi. beats are good upcomming loop too. matbe i dont like the bass sound or it needs some eq or effect. after special powers vocals ---> synth needs work maybe distortion???!!! breaks and beats are ok but the snare needs to be more accent. bass kick is way down too. Maybe lower the basses in volume or rise the beats and breaks. some other atmosphere's perhaps? or some more vocals? it def needs something more!!
2,5/5
cheers

makes me wanna spin really ... around on my head that is. its a really good track the sounds are all clean real precise programming, the vocals really dont do it for me though. Like listening to COunterstrike- Africanism ? the vocals dont do anything for me but i tolerate them cause the track is on top. Like this one.
Jus tplay with some of your variations a bit. spice it up...
2.5/5
