Hey, it's been like a month or something since you gave me that review for some song, but at least I keep my promises yay! :D
The mix is pretty damn clear, nothing to point out about that really. Everything stands out perfectly, hopefully you'll keep it that way in the finished version.
My mellowness-desiring ears don't like the very basic, sharp kick and raw saw lead and bass though. That's just me, but I think that kicks needs quite a bit more punch as well as some more lowness. Snare is fine but the reverb sounds awkward when played along with the kick. I'm not sure about that pad-ish, gated (sidechain'd?) thing. I don't like it at all, but the thing does make sense in this track.
Although I don't like your choice of sounds in this song, I absolutely love the attitude and rhythm of the track. The drum beat is very straightforward (REEEEEEALLY simple) and it work wonders put simply. Those little blips from the saw really work well. Keep working on some clever ways of utilizing the concept of those saw blips, change their pitch or fuck them up good and hard with effects. That would be awesome.
You have to finish this song, it will be awesome, I promise, please do that
