Text Her Back (feat. Dint)

I went to the Brighton Music Conference a while back, mostly to check in on Native Instruments and ended up spending the whole of the second day with Toolroom Records, who specialise in Tech House.  It inspired me to do an EDM track, especially when I came across some great vocals from Dinty.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

    I have done similar stuff in the past. Could do with a bit more variation ?

    I think you're right SR, some more variation could improve it.  Thanks for the feedback!

    Bass just overwhelms the beats which is not usually how EDM works.
    Love the idea

    fun stuff but I agree - needs more kick, less bass and more variation.

    Nice effort, kind of minimalist. More complexity is my preference, just my .02 pesos.
     
    I'd agree, less bass, deeper bass, and a lead line with any instrument at all would be something to consider.
     
    Anyone who has spent time in proximity to girls like this will have no reason to listen to this song twice - they are completely odious. 
     
    cheers,
    -Tom

    Far to much Bass it overwhelms everything else.  Definitely needs some additional ear candy to make it more interesting.
     
    Thanks for sharing.
