Good
man
Don't really like your synthline that drops in @ 2.15 bit I guess that's personal taste...

Nice sharp snare
Rollin bass, but it sometimes feels like it's not always equally loud???
Bit messy melody, but that's OK.
Don't really like it when you bring in the lower version of the melody tho

i like the drumwork very much
but it needs some mastering and -but this is probably a case of tase- i would put the melody in a minor chord, add lil vocals and maybe some strings (
)
in either way i'd really use the minor chords instead of the majors cause it kind of annoys me ...but who am i to say what's hot and what's not

Seems to be well finished now
I like the sound!! The mix is very good, effects, reverb and compression are well done, nice stereo image, all telltale signs that it is the work of a pro
I particularly like the silky smooth cymbals, mmm
Best thing is that song grooves like a motherfucker
You should have a dub pressed of it and try it out on the dance floor, I'm sure the party heads will be jumping all over the place.
The basslines are great too, both melodywise and soundwise, it has a lot of depth without drowning the track.
Hihat patterns are superb, what did you do to get such a great feel in them? Do you use Logic or an MPC2000 perhaps?
Should I say anything about the breaks?
Top class mate!!
Song structure, buildup -- all fine here too
Only minor point is that I have to agree with Surya on the synthline at 2.02... don't particularly like it either, it sounds like really oldskool 1992 techno with the octave jumping and buzzy sound. (hmm now that I've listened to it for a couple of times it doesn't bother me any more, it kinds of suits the track, but my first impression was that it was a bit cheapish)
Keep it up bro!! Top marks from me!!
