Ali, that's not the kind of music I normally listen to - but man was that entertaining - very cool.

Just updated the audio file on Soundcloud. Basically exactly the same but I've improved the mix a little bit and tried to make it a bit more punchy.

Took me back to the early 90's wwhen i was listening to the house music that was coming out of new york at the time.
I rarely listen to this style of electronica these days, and despite it sounding a little cliche at times, i enjoyed the nostalgic feeling it gave me.

Thanks blipp, that's exactly the kind of feeling and the kind of era I was hoping to invoke, so obviously something has gone well :)

I like this one. As it went on I thought it got a little , well, redundant? It sounds really good but for me, it needs some more "thingys" or a lead instrument to break it up. Nice job!

I listened to that all the way through. It was really cool - it reminds me of Romanian House which is really big in the Mediterranean at the minute.
I think its an accessible sound you have that can kind of appeal to a wider audience than the average club track. I'd listen to it again quite happily.

@evadianepug, To be honest I did actually play around with adding more lead sounds etc, but everything just took something away from the original catchy idea. So I thought that considering I usually just overcomplicate things by adding too many different sounds and harmonies, I should instead just keep it stripped back and focus on the original catchy bass line idea instead. And it's not often enough that I come up with a hook which is actually simple and catchy enough to carry the whole track on its own, so I just didn't want to ruin that. @greekmac7, Thanks so much. I was really hoping to appeal to a wider audience with this in exactly the same was as you said. It's kind of a club track that hopefully anyone can enjoy. I'm really glad that you liked it :)

The mix was great. Instruments sounded great. Liked the girl's voice. A bit redundant, though. Needs more variety, IMO.

@jamesg1213, Thank you :) @chasmcg, Thanks for your advice. Like I said I did actually try adding more instruments and even a lead, but to be honest everything just made it sound more cluttered, and it all took something away from the original idea. So in the end I just decided to keep it quite minimal. Normally I make my tracks too fussy anyway, so I didn't want to ruin this one with too many different sounds.

Sounds like it would work well in the right environment but it does get a bit similar just some gloss and ear candy would make a big difference. That long voice could do with a little sweep and some LFO speed variation, just the opinion of a furry eared alien. Thanks for sharing.

Creative use of effects. Not my genre, but it seems to work fine. I would have gone a bit easier on the reverb on the vocals in spots. Mix is good.

Ali, Nice start for a bigger thing. Seems to need a bit more happening in it and is a bit, well repetitious to a degree. I'm sure you know what your looking for and maybe this is it. It isn't my genre, so I can only give my opinion, not that its worth anything. Nice clean sound work though. Play around with a few other instrumentation samples and see what you come up with.
Peace be with you. Blessings, John
