Nice mix, and the instrumentation you used works really well. The uplifting section that start around the 3:00 mark is very nice. Overall, I think it could use a melody, and maybe compressed structurally from almost 8 minutes down to around 4-5. For example, the intro started off great, I liked the fade out delay and return, but it could be a little shorter to get to the actual song.
Regards,
Dan

Come in!!! :)
I listened on headphones and liked it. The low end held together well on my cans. Cool pulsing pads.
I was expecting a few more panning tricks, so just a thought there.
I like Lusine, this reminded me a bit of them, in the overall feel . . . ever hear of them?
Oh, the end has a bit of panning candy - thank you!
cool track, welcome back!

Thanks! Going to apply some changes and get it updated tonight. I noticed a few bugs pop up after render.

Ok, I super appreciate the constructive comments, it forced me to not be lazy with my editing. I shortened the song, panned a bunch more, and overall fixed a bunch of stuff. Not adding in a melody though, this song is only about the arps. The long intros/out is needed cause this is a house dj tune that can be mixed into a set.

totally not my genre
loved the deep synth patch in the first 3 mins
how that segued into the more ambient arp section
the drums surely need to change a little though?
quite incongruous with the build up to 4'50 or so
but maybe if you're off your tits on some synthetic drug that's how it works?

...this is a house dj tune that can be mixed into a set.
And for that I think it works well. It is repetitive, but still morphs enough over time to keep things going.

Love it, especially knowing its intended use. I especially liked the last two minutes where the arps are filtering through. Very hypnotic and relaxing yet could be used as a stem in a dance mix.

Hmm, you need to at least experience some psytrance with a good set of headphones in the dark. I can point you to a mix that is just insane synth work. No drugs required, just the right mood, set, and setting: https://soundcloud.com/de...mushroom-live-at-japan See, when I was a kid, I thought the airwolf and knightrider theme were the coolest thing around.

I loved it, could listen to this for hours. Totally agree with keeping the arps going and just morphing the filters, they are melody enough for me. Trying to get my controller to do more of that, but haven't had time to play in like 8 months.
