REALLY GOOD except those drums you add in; the snare is a bit too loud and weird if u get what i mean.

Song could use some tighter compression and it feels a bit dry/raw in places, usually a small touch of reverb is used to make everything sound 'real' or unified, except on a very few instruments, but if you make an instrument dry try to make sure it's a deliberate choice. I'm guilty of this one too.

As for compression, dance tracks like this need to be a little bit less dynamic, get that nice push-pull that's going on in the composition to really shine with a bit of compression. Give it punch.

Now mixing aside, composition seems solid, and I was really getting into it near the end, started to feel the dance in my bones. XD It ended a bit suddenly, I would like to hear the main loop added on to and have the song extended bit a minute or so. If you're stuck for an ending to a dance track it's always a good idea to wind it down.

In other words, start stripping away instruments until you're left with a main beat. The reason why people do this, to the best of my knowledge, is so that your track can be easily beatmatched and mixed into the next song on a DJ's list. They need that extra couple of bars to crossfade into a new song.

Anyhoo! Good job, keep it up!

The composition is very nice. It progresses well and new elements are always added, so it stays interesting through the whole thing. The breakdown at 01:32 is also a nice alternative to how the original is made. The remix itself is a bit too similair to the feel of the original though, or well, at least when it comes to the composition. The sounds being the major difference.

I would also peronally enjoy a bit of a more organic sound on the instruments as they sound a bit too motionless for my taste. Maybe try some slow non-synced LFOs (around a couple of seconds) that affects things like volume, filters and/or WT-position (etc..) by a tiny amount so you'll get some movement into the sound.

Other than that, nice job with the mix, it sounds loud and I can hear all the elements well. You're definetly getting there!

AWESOME REMIX! It's a bit better than the original xD Can I use it for GD?
