I have no idea what to call this kind of music, but I like it. A lot.

That's really all I have to say.

Perhaps we can just call it "music of some description".

Pretty damn impressive effort, this.

It has the same level of cohesion as a professional release, something I've been trying to achieve for a long time. The only issue I had with it personally is the slap bass. Not the use of it - it sounds fine when there's a lot going on in the mix. But when it's exposed and playing on its own, it sounds kind of cheap. Not in a this-is-what-the-genre-is kind of way, more of a I-couldn't-afford-a-real-slap-bass kind of way. I don't mean that as an insult at all, that's just how it comes off.

The only way the track might fail in terms of appeal is its dissonance. There were quite a few notes that sounded out of key or out of chord. This is fine if used sparingly, but it seems to carry the track here. I actually like the dissonance, personally, but it's probably not everyone's cup of tea. If it turns out that the music theory is 100% technically "correct" in your project file, I'm not sure what I'm hearing - but I'm pretty sure I'm right about this.

Anyway, great track. I'm going to download it.

Wow big thanks for the awesome review

You´re probably right, I'm not a music theory expert, and i get what you mean about the bass, maybe it is too high in the mix, anyway I'm glad you liked it and thanks for downloading

The composition is flawless - the only issues I have with this track involve mixing.

The stereo image is a little odd. There's a lot going on in the center, and then one (or two) instruments spread out to avoid the others. This is personal taste, but I tend to prefer everything be slightly stereoized except for the kick. This includes the snare and hi-hats (the hi-hats are panned, I think there's just not enough of them - I usually have multiple in my mix panned to different placed) - if there's not a lot of percussion going on in the sides, it sounds like a mono track with coincidental stereo backing.

The kick isn't bassey enough. I know the general advice is to high pass the kick to get it out of the way of the sub, but doing that too much sucks the life out of the kick.

There's a slight muddiness that could be solved through the stereo imaging I mentioned before. If that were to not fix that, then cutting the mids a little would do the trick.
