haha, quite amusing lyrics, if that's what it does really mean.
Now to the track... there's so many catchy points throughout it, it never gets boring, or repetitive, your effects on your lead/bass is just incredible, same with the drum samples, they are just crystal clear!
And the way you got them to just float around the vocals so perfectly, it's as if the vocals where written around your music when infact the music was written around the vocals!
Which is another thing, I'm pretty sure even without the vocals the track itself is that good, it would still be awesome on it's own. I'm still amazed at how well it's mixed too, like Gonif said.
I think I'm going to have to try separating each instrument into different groups, I take it when you said for example, hat's don't need low frequencies, you put a high pass filter on them, and then a low pass for the kick/bass? So it frees each instrument up so you only get the necessary frequencies for that track? Is that what you mean by it?
Either way this track is a definite 5, 10 and download, this is something that could come on in a club and no one would hesitate to get on the dance floor.

Yes that's what the lyrics really mean, ha. First, thanks for the lengthy review, now onto your question. What you've already assumed is the big picture, but there are still valuable high frequencies in some drum samples and bass. I wouldn't roll off anything completely unless it was an individual instrument/sample that I wanted a specific sound from (ie: a hat whose low freqs are horrible sounding, yet has nice mid/highs). I generally roll off the lows on my hats, but only down to -6.00 db. But yea, you hit the nail on the head, just don't overdo it!
