Hey Tod, i have listened to your track Metric and I have to say that I really Really dig this one! I like the piano chords and the violing string very much: it kinda reminds of the oldschool time where people weren't afraid to put melody into their tracks. The vibe is a bit like the period from the beginning of the house.

Anyways some feedback: Maybe you should work a bit on your eq'ing and try to pump of your samples coss the total mix is a bit distorted. Try to get a more clean mix and you have a possible slammer for sure!
