Listen to more than the intro!
I suppose this is progressive club house. It is my first House song. I will extend it eventually to about 5-6 minutes and clean up some things on this part of it. Leave a review of what you think!

"Great?!?"

There are a few parts that seem really dirty. (Mostly with the bass and some of the leads.) I don't know if that was the intended effect or not, but it sure seems kinda... well, yeah, dirty. You should probably clean a few of the parts up.

As well, you don't seem to have that many parts build up at once.--wait, I take that back. I notice it now. But yeah, it seems like you have to build the music up, take it down, and build it up again, etc.

But yeah, I gave you 5/5, and a 79/100 because of the dirtiness...

I dunno what I'm hearing at the beginning, but it sounds like a bit of a phaser/flanger resonance effect, and distracts me a bit from the bass.

When the rhythm comes in, I feel the track slows down a couple bpm, it's quite odd, and then when the rhythm goes away, it speeds up a little bit. I think it's the placement of the first bass note that throws off the groove just a bit. It may also just be the type of bass synth you used.

Btw, I feel the bass is quite mono, you should give it more life by keeping it stereo, the stereo effects that a bass gives also gives some more life to a song, just make sure you EQ accordingly.

The synths are quite nice, nice and full, and not overpowering the mix.

When I heard the vocal chops, I was like 'wut? where did this come from?' I'm not saying it wasn't nice, it was lovely, but it seemed random. I wasn't expecting vocals 3 minutes into a song.

The end feels unfinished, which is why my summary states that.

I'm also curious as to why you moved this from trance to house, when this is definitely a trance song. It has no house elements. The bass stays the same throught, and there's pads and nice smooth rhythms.

On that note, you could probably do without all the reverse rhythm parts for transitions, you overused them a bit in this one.

Overall it's fun and cool, but could still use a bit of work, and perhaps be completed, with some nice vocals in there, and not just chops.

4/5
8/10

Keep at it man.

I understand and agree about the BPM seem to change, I was wondering how I could fix that. Should I lower the BPM any way? In the beginning it seems like I should, but once it gets into the main part of the song it seems fine.

I moved it from trance, because the first two reviewers (heartless1298 and Chinoman10) said that it was house, not trance. If we get an official person who judges that, they can tell. Also, other like DJIxON have said that this is progressive club house, not your conventional house.

When it comes to the ending, I will probably lengthen it to 5-6 minutes and maybe add more vocals.

Thanks for the review and rating! I appreciate the time you put into this.
