Reviews for "Homecoming"
Glad you're back!
First of all, props on the track. I really enjoyed listening to it.
I think you did a really good job on the mastering, maybe a bit harsh on the highs, but it might be my speakers playing a trick on me... dunno.
I must say I really liked how the track starts. Smooth, gets into different tastes and brings different things in.
The vocal sample was really unexpected haha, I thought it wouldn't drop for a second... seems it did, awesome! Playing with people's minds is exactly what makes a really clever breakdown and instant adrenaline right after.
The whole chorus bit was simple, but was just perfect. No need to be over-elaborate. Breakdowns are actual breakdowns and not just the same melody transposed into another octave/key or maybe the same thing playing on other lighter instruments. You brought in a completely different synth to play a slower melancholic bit, and bam! Epic!
The ending... well a classic decrescendo of intensity, not much to say about it. I could have seen something slightly different there, but fits nevertheless.
Overall good track, exciting, but could be improved on some ends, mixing wise and maybe in the end too. I'm not really sure how, but it feels like something's off or missing, it just feels too classic, nothing really interesting or new to give you that weird but refreshing aftertaste.
On a more personal note, thanks for coming back. I always enjoyed your new tracks so far, can't wait to see more!

Thanks for the review!
The intro and the ending are like that for a reason.It gives time to the DJ to start beat-matching the track before it reaches the build and the ending is for letting him know that the track is gonna end.
These are called DJ friendly intros and outros.Check the popular tracks on beatport or itunes, you'll notice they all do this thing.
Cheers
Awesome track dude, really awesome!
