Okay, I like the grouchy bass and the way that the synths gradually fade in towards the beginning. Interesting use of vocal samples at :18. I think it's very minimalistic, and also progresses rather slowly, but it's also pretty catchy. I think you overused the riser/buildup at 1:44 (and other places), and by the end it's very repetitive. It just doesn't need to be 4 minutes long IMO. I enjoyed how you started harmonizing a little more at 2:15, but I wanted you to do a little more with that. It was missing a lot of melodic content IMO, and I wanted to see more variation and development, which is hard to do when you rarely have more than 2-3 instruments playing at once. I'm afraid you can't just fill the entire texture of a piece with reverb, my friend, even if you seemed to have been going for some traditional club house music here. You could've done A TON more with this piece. I understand that house music is "supposed to" be minimalistic and rhythmic, but you could've at least tried using some different and/or more creative rhythms towards the end. Overall, I think it's a pretty lack-luster track. Sorry. I know I've been tough on you in this review. It does have potential, but as a stand-alone piece it didn't keep me engaged very well. Keep working at it, man. ;)
Good Job.
Thanks. I'll be djing this song live on twitch this friday. twitch.tv/poniiboi
