I definitely like most of the stuff you have here.. I am normally a bit sketchy on the use of Sytrus presets.. but you actually did a pretty good job on that.
I did not like those drum samples at all though. The kick was... ehh.. mediocre.. but the clap is terrible. FL default stuff I imagine. I'd recommend checking into VEC samplepacks. Also, VIPZONE has a large free sample pack that is pretty nice.
Anywho.. great work on this song. I liked the composition a lot.

Great choices on those. What synths/vsts did you use on them?
Composition and build is excellent.. as to be expected. The intro has a ton of energy.. so going into the song.. there's just so much buildup there. Good stuff.
Hmm.. do have one suggestion with the outro though.. ever thought of doing a club-style mix with percussion (bass and minor melodic elements as well) extending through the end to make it mixable? Dunno.. that's just looking at it from a DJ perspective thar.
A tad bit more bass would be nice as well, but I'm very happy with the mix regardless. Sounds full, but it's not cluttered in the slightest.
Great song! =D

Thanks so much! I used Nexus/Z3ta/Sytrus/3xosc/404 and a lot of these sounds i made ;).
Thanks so so so so so much!!!
Outro i was thinking of doing that but i wanted to save the idea so i could have a club-style mix with percussion INTRO for the NEXT episode ;). Would be nice i think =).
Thanks so much!

I definitely need to check out more of your stuff man. (Well.. stuff you've done in general.. I know this is a remix of F-777)
Amazing that you can improve on such awesome stuff.
Love everything in this.. the bass.. the percs.. the leads.. and definitely mixing. It manages to really push some sound.. but stays completely clear. I'd almost call it perfect. Srsly. O_o
Anywho, much props to F-777 for the original, and thanks for this excellent remix!

If this doesn't at least come close to top 5, I'm gonna beat a zero-bomber with a stick. A big, painful one. Yeah, that's right bomber-douches. You'd better move that cursor over to the 5.. and click it. Nao! >=[
Well.. it's not perfect mixing.. but then again.. you did this after the original was made.. and outside of the original mix.. so that can't be expected. With the right reverb and delay on the vox though, this addition would be amazing.. thinks I.
You definitely need to do some more collabs on the site with trance artists.
I'd be up for one.. but I'm in more of a housey phase... so unless you do that as well.. well.. it'd probably be a while. lol.
Anywho, definitely keep up the good work, you have a beautiful voice.
Also, much props to Pulstate for the original track! You're definitely one of the most awesome.. frequently overlooked artists on here! Professional quality stuff.. really.

Haha, if I know anything about the top 5, it's that the songs you expect to get somewhere near it never do, but thank you for the well-wishes! I'm going to try and get this mastered, so hopefully a better mix will be up soon. Thanks very much for the review! Greatly appreciated.
I sing any genre -- even a jazz song recently -- but I've been told that my voice works well with trance, and it's one of my favorites anyway (as a DJ, I spin trance) so that works. Best wishes to you with your music. :)

"Hittin ya back. W00ts dance musics!"
Nifty Arp, Offbeat bass.. sounds like the workings of a dance song =D
Definitely gotta get some better samples and stop putting reverb on your kicks though. I've noticed that in multiple songs... and it's not really adding to it well. That.. and you're overusing filters a bit.. better to use them as part of a breakdown or buildup than just randomly in and out. It can be a cool effect, but it's much more powerful when you think about song structure when ya do it.
I do like the melody in that arping lead though. Fun stuff.
Anywho.. feedback and such. W00t.

Soo awesomely goofy. And yes.. as I said via IM.
This sounds like the theme to a fucked up kids show you'd probably watch on drugs. Or find entertaining on drugs.. Or was made on drugs. Yes.. probably like that. Kinda like the goddamn teletubbies. Seriously.. what the fuck is that!?
LOL. Anyway. Rule 10, you get a 10.. and a 5.

"I wanna collab on this. So awesomes."
That piano just begs for more instrumentation. It sounds very good though. If you find the file... yesh. Definitely worth finishing. =D
5/5, 10/10 -Echoz
Author's Response:
yes.. if I find the file - I think its on my laptop somewhere - I couldve sworn I randomly chanced upon it a while back.. I think I used the grande 2 in it tho so I might have to bounce that part..
thanks for the review echoz! ;)

Very cool though. You definitely captured what you were going for there I think. Also loops decent. Pretty nifty overall. It would be a bit nicer if you boosted the samples a lil bit in the mix though, that way you could hear it clearer without cranking the volume.
5/5, 9/10 -Echoz
Author's Response:
but the point IS to crank the volume so the whole thing is more encompassing and scary :P
thanks for the review echoz!
