@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 :)

Sounds good and punchy Ali, bet it would go down a storm in a club.

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.

Hey Wookie, thanks for your feedback. Hopefully I'll blow you away with the next one.

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
